FAQ about hiring a Children's Party Entertainer

On average, a children’s party entertainer costs $200-$250 an hour. However, prices may vary based on location, travel distance, number of children, and the type of performance or service being provided. Find the best children’s performers for any budget.

Children’s party entertainers can be flexible in regard to the location. Backyards, event centers, or even larger living rooms can all be great places for children’s parties. If you have not chosen a location prior to booking party entertainment, ask the performers what would work best for them. Different performances and styles may require a unique space.

Entertainers for children’s parties offer a wide range of services that make them appropriate for all ages! Most performers can also customize their entertainment or packages, so be sure to provide them with the ages and interests of the children so they can provide you with the best show.

From balloon twisting and face painting to magic and children’s music, children’s party entertainers do it all. Many also provide multiple services, making them great for a party with mixed ages and interests! To make sure your party is a success, ask these 5 questions before booking your performer!

While children's birthday party entertainment is the most popular, any family-friendly event can be enhanced by booking a kids' party entertainer! Holiday parties, school events, festivals, or even corporate parties with families and kids in attendance are all appropriate.

Kids party entertainers typically perform between one and two hours. We recommend keeping performances shorter for younger children while older children may enjoy a longer performance time.

Children’s party entertainers typically provide everything they need to perform but they may require specific placement at the event. Be sure to contact them prior to the event to go over the staging details and arrival instructions.

Every children’s entertainer sets their own preferences for how far they will travel, so be sure to ask the professional about their travel radius and associated costs.

FAQ about becoming a Children’s Party Entertainer

You can definitely make money as an entertainer for children’s parties. In fact, kids' party entertainment is one of the most requested categories on GigSalad! On average, our children’s entertainers often make anywhere from $200 to $400 per gig.

Potential clients will want to see that you have experience before booking you. The best way to do this is through great reviews from past clients as well as high-quality photos and videos.

While insurance is not required to be a children’s party entertainer, it is recommended. Liability insurance for entertainers is a great investment. Some people may even require that you have insurance in order to book you.

A criminal record check is a good idea for any entertainer working with children. Potential clients may ask that you provide documentation for a criminal record check and by having one available you can increase your chances for more gigs.
