My daughter and her friends are BEYOND DEVASTATED!! THEY NO SHOWED AND DIDNT CALL!!! I am…read moreinfuriated with this company and I actually think they're a scam. 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.

We had an amazing experience with Pure Imagination for my daughter's Harry Potter birthday party!…read moreBoth actors were fantastic with the kids, and Luna portrayed the character so perfectly. They stayed completely in character the entire time--even when we randomly bumped into them in the bathroom! My daughter gave them a 10/10 and had an absolute blast. She especially loved the Sorting Hat, learning spells, and the dueling lesson. What really impressed me was how well they engaged every child. Most of the kids weren't even that familiar with Harry Potter yet, but they were all completely involved and having so much fun. Even the adult Harry Potter fans had a blast! It was also genuinely fun for the adults to sit back and watch the kids get completely immersed in all the Harry Potter activities. We didn't need to plan any other entertainment for the entire party--the actors kept the kids engaged from beginning to end. All we really needed was food, and then we could relax and enjoy the show! They made the whole party feel immersive, easy, and incredibly special. Definitely one of the highlights of her birthday and absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

The children had an amazing time, and many parents commented on how magical, energetic, and engaging the party was. We were also very impressed with the team's fast, smooth communication throughout the planning process. Every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly. We're so grateful for the wonderful experience and would absolutely hire them again!

From the very…read morebeginning, Zaid was amazing to work with and was extremely responsive, thoughtful, and willing to do whatever it took to accommodate our requests. I'm very detail-oriented, and this company truly exceeded my expectations. One of the best parts of working with Wish Out Loud was how completely all inclusive the experience was. We didn't have to spend any time stressing over décor, entertainment, activities, or food as it was all beautifully planned and executed for us. Everything flowed seamlessly, and on the day of the event everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly. The Magic Makers and princesses were incredible and kept 30 kids (girls/boys, age 2-5) engaged and entertained the entire time. Every activity felt immersive and magical, and the whole experience felt like the kids were spending the day at Disneyland. Seeing how happy and excited they were made it all so worth it! If you're looking for a beautifully organized, truly magical, and effortless birthday experience, I can't recommend Wish Out Loud enough. Zaid and his team created an unforgettable day, and we would absolutely use them again!

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.

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.

From the very first inquiry to the follow-up message when your event is done, Kalinda and team will meet your every question attentively and promptly, and create a magical experience for all involved. Every character is a real-life princess and is so deeply caring with the lore and background and behavior of the world(s) they inhabit. I have been to and hosted many a Wishing Well party and I am always blown away - it truly feels like you have these characters come to life straight out of the stories and movies. Oh! And the insanely beautiful voices and dancing?? It's unreal. We most recently hosted a birthday party with Moana and when she started singing to the children the entire party went silent...the adults thought at first that she was lip-syncing to a recording and then quickly became convinced that we had worked some magic to have Moana pop right out of DIsney+ and into our lives. It was amazing. Wishing Well is amazing. On top of the mind-blowing, crowd-pleasing characters come to life, Kalinda also is sure to make sure that every possible detail is communicated and taken care (since we all know that things can fall through the cracks with the million things going on in life and party planning...)! I have always felt so taken care of and know that when Wishing Well is involved, it's going to be a magical day for everyone.

They make our local Las Flores event enchanting and full of holiday spirit. We appreciate them so much! I also love that they give back, often donating to St. Jude Children's Hospital. It's that extra touch of heart that makes them even more special. Highly, highly recommend!
