    My 3 year old niece loves coming here. We have been bringing her for 2 weeks and she had a blast. Teacher Lisa and Stephanie are amazing. Love see her smile and be super happy. Totally recommend it for 3 year old. Perfect 1 hr entertainment for children during the week

    I had my daughter's 4th birthday at Play & Parties earlier this month. The theme was Sleeping Beauty, and we had Princess Aurora and Prince Philip. The characters were amazing. They were so entertaining, interactive, lively and handled the kids so well. Although it was a princess party, they made sure all the games were inclusive for both the girls and the boys. The kids had so much fun with them. What I value the most with Play & Parties is the staff and the work they put into planning and hosting the party. From the decorations, cake, food, set up, and clean up, it was very organized and professional. They did everything! They were also accommodating to my specific color scheme request and delivered my vision. I highly recommend Play & Parties.

    Lisa and John are awesome. They are kind people and talented artists. They held a Rapunzel birthday party for my 6 years old daughter. There are two characters, a glitter tattoo station, and a caricature artist. They decorated the party beautifully with details and colors I want. They did a fantastic job with attention to details and the guests had a great time. We are very satisfied and happy. I hope to use their party service again in the future.

    WOW!! Lisa, John and their staff blew us away today. When I walked into the venue, my jaw literally dropped to the floor because the decor was on point, beautifully done and you could tell they put their heart into making our party spectacular!! Everything from the cake, balloons, tablescapes, arts and crafts... just perfect! The performers were truly magical too and my daughter could not stop smiling all day. Elsa, played by Mallory, was able to captivate all of the busy/crazy kids. Her voice held the attention of the entire room as she led the fun activities, games and songs. She also sang "Let It Go" so beautifully and my daughter was truly memorized. Finally, she gave the party goers cute and shiny tattoos. My daughter refuses to wash it off now! Everyone could tell Mallory had experience, showmanship, stage presence and talent. She did an amazing performance as Elsa. Cinderella, played by Abigail, was such a sweetheart and so loving towards my daughter. She personally interacted with Lauren many times, making her feel incredibly special and important. Lauren was very drawn to her especially when she went looking for that missing glass slipper. Lauren chose to wear her Cinderella pJs tonight for bed and asked if Cinderella could come over for dinner haha, thank you Abigail :) Unicorn Sprinkles, played by Mia, was a happy and vibrant Mascot. Her movements were upbeat, social and interactive. She was always willing to take as many photos with guests and danced/stood the entire time! And that is one hot and heavy costume to wear for over 2 hours! I remember she even made horse sounds when we took photos, which cracked me up. Great performance by Mia! Extra staff - the company hired a ton of additional staff to help move things along. I really appreciated how the staff catered towards the needs of every child and made everything feel organized. The owner, Lisa, really loves what she does and she puts her soul into her work. She supervises the entire event, reads the environment, steps-in when needed and tailors each activity to the crowd. At first my daughter was shy, but Lisa was able to open her up and soon enough she was jumping for joy. We now have memories we will cherish forever.

    Thank you! Harper Katherine Struble and a few girlfriends celebrated her 6th birthday with Play and Parties. Class. Perfection. Fantastic Tiana! We could not have asked for a better time of Fantasy, Fun and Forever Memories! Thanks, Lisa and staff!

    The place was magical and the cake(s (which they did) turned out amazing.

    Miss Lisa and all the staff are amazing. We had my daughter's 7th and my son's 4th BDay on the same day. They coordinated everything very well and decorations were so cute and just what we wanted. They are amazing with kids and so kind. Everyone had a great time and we were relaxed! I highly recommend them if you are looking for a party place.

    This is the place where your child's dream will literally come true. Lisa is the head of this company, and from the beginning of the planning process, she was so enthusiastic, and you can tell she genuinely wants you and your child to be happy. They take care of everything. Literally, all I had to do was bring the lunch and drinks for the adults, and the goody bags - and they take care of: ordering the cake and cupcakes, BRINGING the cake and cupcakes from bakery to the location, preparing a boxed lunch for each child, which included pizza, grapes, and goldfish crackers. They do all the entertaining and announcing, literally I felt like a guest at my own party. I was actually able to enjoy it, and even was able to mingle with my adult friends while the kids were all having fun with the characters! We chose to hire two characters for my daughter's 3rd birthday, Moana and Minnie Mouse. The parties are 2 hrs long but we paid for an extra hour to accommodate all our guests schedules, and it was definitely worth it. The host Lisa, and the characters and their sidekicks were SO patient, never looked stressed or annoyed, and kept checking with me to ask if it's a good time to start the lunch, the cake, the entertainment, everything. During one of the activities which was high energy, my other daughter ran up to me and thanked me for having this party! Everyone left so happy, and we did not have to do the cleanup or any setup for this. 100000% recommend this place for your child's birthday party, and we will be booking with them again for next year! Thank you Lisa, for your genuine love for doing this.

    It takes not only a creative mind but also incredible skills and effort to make a kids dream party come true. My son wanted to have a Batman theme party for his 5th birthday and I cannot thanks enough to Lisa and her team for the magic they created. It felt like a little Batman cave and the Batman artist blew everybody's mind. From the decorations to the kids activities everything was well planned and full on kids entertainment for 2 hours. Overall we had a blast at Play & Parties and will say if you have a party vision just tell to Lisa & her team and they will turn your dream into a reality.

    Story / dance time!

    I truly wish I could give this location way more than 5 stars!! This place is beyond amazing! It's a very unique event space. I've never seen anything like it. Basically it's a young child's activity / event space that specializes in bringing beloved characters to meet and interact with the kids! From a parent's perspective, this location spares no expense. You can tell the organizers of the event work super hard to plan and make sure the event is non-stop fun! The characters, too, are super professional and lovable. Our Princesses sang, danced, and kept up with the kids during all the games! They were super sweet and let the kids take as many pictures with them as they wanted! Our first visit here was for the Royal Princess Ball. For this event kids ages 3 and up were asked to come dressed in their favorite Princess attire (so happy to get more use out of all my daughter's Princess dresses) and enjoy an afternoon with not one, not two, but THREE Disney Princesses! I've never seen my daughter so happy, especially when she got to play her favorite game alongside Cinderella! Dare I say: it was a dream come true! The kids also had 'tea time' with the Princesses, complete with treats and pink lemonade! Each child given her own pre-made and wrapped plate with cookies and rice crispy treats! While the kids enjoyed some drinks and snacks, the Princesses taught them a tea time song and learned all the kids' names! I could go on but it's time so say goodbye, but we will 100% be back again very soon! If not for a special event but for their regular daily classes!

    We held my daughter's 5th birthday here and we were very happy with everything! The entire team did a fabulous job with the decoration, entertainment and coordination. I highly recommend going with them for a kids birthday party, you won't be disappointed! Mallory was our Elsa and she was amazing - kept the kids entertained the entire time. I'm sure we'll be using them for more events in the future!

    My son loves play and parties and Ms. Lisa! We have been members for a few months and enjoy having so many class options to attend. Ms. Lisa not only incorporates dance, music and creativity, she also engages kids in educational material and social and emotional learning. The play date performers and mascots are always in character, very interactive and kind. Bonus: at the end of every class, all the kids get a balloon animal. Highly recommend trying out a few classes.

    Frozen characters Ana & Elsa
    Alex P.

    We attended a Frozen themed birthday party here and the characters were great! Big shout out to the woman who played Ana, she was a dynamic performer & was on the floor the entire time of the party interacting with the kids. Her singing was surprisingly really good and she had a great upbeat attitude. The women who played Elsa was good as well, but she came to the party notably later than Ana. Overall the kids had a great time and were entertained the entire party

    We celebrated my son 5th birthday last weekend and it turned out great. Thank you to all the staff for putting together such a fun party. We also loved all the decorations and the great service. We highly recommend Play and Parties to all parents who are looking for a place to throw a great party for your child. You will have a great experience.

The entire process with Enchanted Characters was incredibly smooth from start to finish. It was so easy to inquire and book online, and I received a follow-up message almost immediately. They were very thorough and provided all the information I needed, so I barely even had any questions. The little times we did communicate, the response was almost immediate, which made me feel so confident that someone would actually show up to our party and on time! We had the lovely Faith come out as Cinderella for our daughter's third birthday, and she was truly the highlight of the whole party! She was such a beautiful Cinderella and played the character to a T. She did singing, dancing, storytelling, bubbles, and games and had all the kids participating and engaged the entire time. The kids absolutely loved her and said that was their favorite part of the party! My daughter had the biggest smile on her face and the loudest laugh throughout the whole performance, which made it all so worth it It was such a special experience for her third birthday, and I can't wait to reach out to these guys again for future parties!

I originally spoke with charlotte back in May and decided to book with them for 2 princesses for my daughters 5th b day. She was so kind and I felt so good about them. She told me someone would contact me by Thursday of this week to go over details of the party. I paid the deposit of $300ish. Thursday comes around and nothing. I call the same number as before (949-558-2873 and 3106517226) and no one picks up and not only is the voicemail different now but the voicemail is full on both phone lines so I can't even leave a message! Charlotte finally emails me back Thursday with a very generic confirmation of time and place. I emailed her back a total of 4 times requesting a call so we can go over details and structure of the party like she had promised me back in May. Nothing. Day of the event- THEY NOT ONLY NO SHOW BUT THEY DONT EVEN CALL!!!! I was scrambling to figure out what to do with 15 kids and ended up having to improvise for 2.5 hours. How DARE they do this to kids??? I called their after hours line and of course it goes to the same BS number with the full mailbox so I can't even leave a message. I'm hoping someone will read this and learn from my mistake. I have NO idea how they have this many positive reviews. It's beyond me. They must pay for their reviews. I can't even get a hold of anyone to get a refund so I'm going to have to dispute the claims with my bank unfortunately. It's not even the money at this point, it's how evil they and careless they are and how excited my daughter was for the princesses. She kept looking out the window waiting for them to show. I hope they get their karma. Please please please stay away and maybe go with a reputable company you've heard of. I wish I had. I have attached a copy of my paid deposit and their confirmation so they can't respond and say they never booked with me like they did a different customer that I read about in one of the help reviews. I hope this helps someone.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience warrants one…read more I hired an elf character based on the company's advertising, which promised an engaging holiday character who would sing, dance, play games with the kids, and offer activities like temporary tattoos. Unfortunately, the performance did not meet those expectations at all. The elf did not initiate any activities and appeared disengaged the entire time. I had to constantly prompt her to interact with the children. Several kids were upset, and multiple guests commented that she was not doing her job. At one point, she was standing in one spot chewing gum, which felt extremely unprofessional. Three of my guests even offered to write reviews on my behalf because they felt so bad about the situation. Instead of enjoying my party and hosting my adult guests, I ended up managing the entertainer myself and playing with the kids to keep them engaged--completely defeating the purpose of hiring entertainment. I contacted the company immediately after the party. The party coordinator responded promptly and confirmed that the elf claimed the children "weren't interested," which is why she didn't engage. I was told the owner would contact me to resolve the issue, but I never heard from him. I would give this service zero stars if I could. I am giving one star only because the coordinator was professional and responsive, which is the sole reason I booked this company. Unfortunately, the actual service was a major disappointment.
