The phone rang twice, and Will answered. He was calm, professional, and immediately put me at ease. He placed me on a brief hold, and within moments, he confirmed that Amber was available to help us. I was so relieved! Amber arrived on time and was absolutely wonderful. She is dynamic, talented, and has such a warm demeanor. She created beautiful face paintings for all the kids and even some of the adults! Her skill and patience with each design made the day extra special for everyone. Thanks to Amber and Will, a day that started with stress turned into a fantastic experience. I'm looking forward to hiring Enchanted Wonders again next year--but next time, I'll be giving them more than two hours' notice! Thank you again, Amber and Will, for saving the day!

Such a joy to work with her. Her rates are very reasonable considering the quality and breadth of her designs. I mean... she could be an instagram sensation easy if a few influencers grammed her work. She is also very sweet and will always chat with guests as she's doing the designs and make each and everyone feel extra comfortable sitting in the make up chair. She does everything from full face masks, glitter bars, smaller designs. I mean... let me tell you something: Absolutely no reason AT ALL why you wouldn't want her at adult events. In fact, I've used her exclusively for events with 21+ adults. Can't wait to work with her in the future! Pixie Dust is definitely my go to for ANYthing costume make up/ face painting/ on body make up related. Which as an event planner is something to treasure.

I wanted a couple of faces painted a couple of hours before a Dead of the Dead party. In my home. Three face painters declined. I called and they were very pleasant to deal with. I texted my e-mail address to May. Dan, her husband, sent over a contract requiring half deposit. I completed the contract and requested their Venmo info. They texted that and I paid my deposit- half the cost. In the end there were 6 faces painted and it took 3 hours. I paid the balance via Venmo when the faces were done. Everyone was thrilled with the results. I highly recommend May!!!!

If…read moreyou're like me, you might think one face painter is as good as the next, but I'm here to tell you that's simply not the case. The detail and creativity she showed in painting faces were unreal. When the balloons came out, it felt like there was nothing we could throw at her that she couldn't hit out of the park. I was beyond thrilled with our experience. TL;DR: Mimi's work exceeded my expectations by a long shot! I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

In order to keep them both happy, we knew that we had to hire not just a princess, but her friendly side kick Olaf. I was thrilled to find this company, which offered a wide range of princesses, including Elsa, along with the snowman. I had no idea Olaf would be so tall! He took it all in stride and Elsa helped him get into my house for my kids' large birthday party. Admittedly, I had low expectations for the performance. But I have to say, Elsa was on point. Not only was she able to manage the many kids, but she kept the show going with interactive games and she had an incredible voice. Olaf was also really good with rolling with the punches. The kids were so excited to see him and he continued to stay in character even if the 5-year-olds were pushing to see him. I had several parents ask for a referral. It was a wonderful addition to our party theme and our kids are still talking about it. I was somewhat reluctant to have a character appearance, but I'm so happy that I did. I could tell our kids felt special in that moment and seeing them smile and jump in delight when they arrived was well worth the money spent.

From the moment she arrived, I barely had to do anything. She kept the kids entertained the entire hour and made it feel effortless. Moana (Lily!) was incredible. She played freeze tag with the kids, taught them a short hula dance, and led a parachute game that had everyone laughing and fully engaged. She even came prepared with a craft: the girls made princess crowns and the boys made superhero masks. Every child was included and having a blast. She took so many sweet photos with the kids and made each one feel special. I was so impressed with Lily's energy, professionalism, and warmth. Several parents came up to us afterward to say it was the best party they or their child had ever attended. This wasn't our first experience with Princess Parties of DC, and it's clear why they're so wonderful. The owner, Jacklyn, truly cares about the quality of her performers and the experience they create for families. I recommend them to everyone I know. If you're on the fence, book them. You won't regret it.
