January 6, 2016A Birthday To Remember!
For my daughter's first birthday, we hired the Girl Mouse to come to her party and I am so glad that we did! Kevin was very good at communicating and getting back to me in a timely matter to go over details and what to expect. She absolutely loved her and it was entertaining for the whole party to watch. The performer took her time and danced, took photos and sang happy birthday with us. Our guests were talking about it for days with us about how much fun the party was to watch her interact with Minnie!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Janette (Minnie) said she just fell in love with Madeline. It was truly a pleasure doing business with you!

January 15, 2015Outstanding Personalized Birthday Surprise
My family was planning a surprise for my father's 60th birthday and wanted one of his favorite super heroes to pay him a visit. I expected something fairly bare bones but instead got a personalized song using information about my father's life that we got to keep for posterity. Everything about the presentation was thoughtful and far beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend booking them for any event you can think of!

It was a totally smooth process. Character kept in contact with me the day before and the night of the event. Would use Kevin’s again in the future!

Kevin was amazing! We rented a spongebob-like character for my son's birthday party. He showed up and entertained the kids the entire time with so much ease. Truly memorable! Thank you.

Our performers are great for children/family, adults and seniors. They will provide age appropriate performances depending on who is at your party. They will include music, activities, some fun for the kids and a little sarcastic wit for the grown-ups. We can add on balloon twisting and face painting to most of our performances.
