Wonderful Elsa Performance — Kids Loved It!

Kids had a great time and enjoyed a lot with Elsa! The performer was fully in character and did an amazing job engaging the children with fun activities, storytelling and singing. It was a wonderful experience for everyone!

Queen Elsa was on FIRE!!

J/K but she was amazing! This was the best experience I could have wished for. Elsa was so kind, and loving, and in perfect character the entire time. Her desire to speak to each child and even go outside when the birthday girl would not come off the swings was exceptional. I can't thank "Just add magic" enough for their full emersion experience.

Magical

Our Elsa performer was magical. She knew every detail about Elsa and the movie Frozen as well as other Disney princess knowledge and was very engaging with the children. She made my daughter feel so special-- that is all she has been talking about. I can't wait to book again!!

Princess Ariel: Life of the party

We couldn't be more happier by having Princess Ariel celebrate my daughter's birthday. She was incredible with the kids. Everything in her schedule was spectacular from glitter tattoos, ribbon dancing, storytelling, singing happy birthday, singing Part of your world, up to princess coronation of my daughter. It was magical. I would 100% recommend them in any children's parties.

We a multitude of options for you to choose from, such as themed games, princess or superhero training, glitter tattoos, singing, dancing, story time, and a coronation ceremony. At your event, you can expect quality, hassle-free entertainment. We send an assistant along with the character to every event.
