July 21, 2026We hired Mermaid & Mom for my daughter's 5th birthday. I figured it would make for a great photo opp and a "wow" moment for the little but wasn't really sure what to expect. I was blown away by the experience! Mermaid Glimmer was there for an hour, and she brought a show that kept the kids (and adults!) entertained every second. She started with some humorous "magic," then real magic, she swam with the kids, played ukulele and sang, and played diving games with the kids and a "dinglehopper." She was fantastic, and I would highly recommend her for your next birthday party. She was great!

June 6, 2026I had a last-minute request from a client for an Under the Sea-themed corporate dinner, and Mermaid & Mom was the perfect addition. The mermaid was absolutely incredible and quickly became the highlight of the evening. Our guests loved taking photos and interacting with her, and she created such a fun, memorable experience for everyone. The entire process was easy and professional from start to finish. I would absolutely book Mermaid & Mom again and highly recommend them for any event looking for a unique wow factor!

June 22, 2025Mermaid and Mom were absolutely FINTASTIC. My daughter raved about her the whole rest of the days and wasn’t stopped. Mermaid Rachel was so warm and enthusiastic. Couldn’t be more grateful for an incredible experience! Looking forward to booking again!

Mermaid and Mom creates custom parties on land and water; we can provide mermaid hula lessons, mermaid makeovers, swimming games, mermaid storytime, mermaid swimming class, custom costumes and more. The limit is your imagination and the ends of the sea!
Mermaid Rachel needs a safe, private place to change (not a bathroom), and cannot walk once she is in her tail. She will need two human assistants to help her move from her changing area to her performance space. Mermom Laurie will assist in games, crafts, hula lessons and communicating logistics between the client and mermaid.
If Mermom Laurie and Mermaid Rachel are not available for the date requested, we will send one of our experienced team members to your event (you will be notified what mermaid will be swimming down to you).
In addition to our mermaids, we can provide clients with set pieces*, for the perfect mermaid photo, performance or 'shellfie'.
- Glass Sided Tank
- Mermaid Rock
- Mobile Mermaid Throne
- Colorful coral set dressing
*for an additional cost
