July 29, 2019I had a wonderful experience with Wishing Well. They communicated with clarity and provided a lot of information. Our performer was wonderful, prompt and well prepared for the 15 three-year-old's she entertained for over an hour. I highly recommend Wishing Well.

March 28, 2018We had booked Mary Poppins for my daughters 7th birthday. She was practically perfect. My guests kept telling me "She was amazing!" So thankful I had a photographer for the day to capture the magic she brought with her. My daughter will never forget this birthday. A giant personal thank you to our Mary for making this day so special. And thank you to whomever hires these amazing people at Wishing Well. There simply are not words to describe how fantastic they are. Great job!

March 11, 2017OMG I don't even know where to start... I booked the snow queen for my daughters 2nd birthday party at her daycare and I swear it was money well spent! From the snow queens arrival to when she left she was so beautiful and amazing! My daughter was in shock upon the snow queens arrival and definitely warmed up after all she was dressed up as the snow queens sister. All of the snow queens activities were age appropriate to my daughters daycare class. Snow queen payed very well attention to ALL the kids in my daughters class no one was left out with more focus on the birthday girl of course which was a super super plus because I know I wouldn't be able to do that haha. The snow queens singing was phenomenal! I'm telling you I have seen some princesses in my lifetime at parties but none come close to this snow queen NONE. I feel like a total jerk for not offering snow queen some water because I was trying to make sure the kids weren't stepping on her beautiful dress even tho she said it was ok and not to worry about her dress. So please people try to feed them and give them things ontop of a tip ;)

August 22, 2016We hired Kalinda to be a princess in an upcoming video project for our company, and she was amazing! Warm, friendly, professional, and oh-so-talented! She had the whole crew in the director's tent smiling with joy at her wonderful performance. I would highly recommend her for any event! We are very grateful to have had her as our princess!

May 7, 2016Our 2 year old niece was injured and had to spend a week in the hospital the day before she was supposed to go to Disneyland. Kalinda at Wishing Well helped put together an unforgettable visit from our niece's favorite Disney character Elsa (The Snow Queen) after one of her surgeries and made a very special memory during a difficult week.
Our performer was incredible, professional, quality, knowledgeable, so much fun, and her manner aided the healing experience she provided. Kalinda's prompt response and availability made our last minute request into extremely happy customers. I HIGHLY recommend Wishing Well Entertainment. Their follow up after our visit was kind, generous, and an amazing personal touch.
Thank you Kalinda and Wishing Well!
