December 8, 2025Santa is a true HERO!
The afternoon before our shopping center's annual Christmas event, we were informed by our usual Santa Guy that he was hospitalized that morning and could not attend! Our phone lines lit up with everyone calling to find a person willing to be Santa from 10 to 4 pm the next day. Luckily, someone pointed us to your website and Santa Jack was available!!! Not only did he travel from Philly area to Delaware at the last minute, he was excellent with the hundreds of children and our photographers too. He answered our prayers; it was a Christmas miracle! Thanks again, Jack, for a wonderful job well done.

September 22, 2024Amazing!
I “interviewed” several pirate impersonators when planning my twins birthday party, and was completely sold on The Pirate Empire from the first phone call. Steven was enthusiastic, helpful, and full of great ideas during the planning process, and somehow exceeded all expectations for the event. He had all guests of all ages (1-60s) completely engaged and entertained for hours. Over the past few years, I’ve hired several different entertainment companies and this one takes the cake by far.
We also hired Mermaid Gina as recommended by Steven, and she was nothing short of incredible as well.
My kids woke up this morning asking when Captain Jack and Mermaid Gina are coming back, and I recieved texts all day from the guests raving about them as well.
Thank you SO much to The Pirate Empire for an unforgettable event, but looking forward I have no idea how I’ll ever top this!!

Captain Jack Sparrow was sensational! He was terrific to work with and was incredibly entertaining with our guests. His flexibility with our Rain Date was most appreciated. We would 100% use him again!! 🏴☠️

June 25, 2021Amazing for kids and adults
We had Jack Sparrow come to my son’s fourth birthday party, and he was amazing! All of the adults continue to rave about how funny and witty he was. My dad even said he’d like to pay him just to hang out with him for the evening ha ha. The kids thought he was the real Jack Sparrow and loved the treasure hunt and balloon sword fight that he arranged for them.
Communication was great, and Steven was easy to text or call to arrange the party time. We highly recommend!
