FAQ about hiring a Children's Party Entertainer

How much does it cost to hire a children’s party entertainer?

expand

On average, children’s party entertainment 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.

Where should I have my kid’s party?

expand

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.

What age group is appropriate for a children’s party entertainer?

What kind of services does a children’s entertainer offer?

expand

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!

Other than birthday parties, what other kinds of events are appropriate for children’s entertainers?

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

How long do children’s entertainers usually perform?

expand

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.

Do I need to provide any equipment for the entertainer?

expand

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.

How far will a children’s party entertainer travel?

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.

Do I need insurance of any kind?

expand

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.

Do I need a criminal record check?

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.
