Amazing!

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!!

Absolutely Phenomenal!

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!! 🏴‍☠️

Amazing 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!

Excellent 6th birthday entertainer

Steven was very easy to do business with. He arrived early and did everything that he said he would. He entertained everyone, even the adults with his ready wit. The children squealed with delight. We had an amazing party. Really recommend Steven. He's great with the children, fun and really convincing!
