Amazing!

I 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!

Mermaid 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!

Amazing!! Show stopper! Magical!!

AMAZING!! SHOW STOPPER! MAGICAL!! This mermaid was so fabulous and talented. She swam, told stories and the little humans loved her so much! My daughter was so happy to meet & swim with a real mermaid! It was a dream come true. She learned how to swim just so she could show her mermaid bestie! Even the parents loved her!! You cannot go wrong with Mermaid and Mom!!

What to expect

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
