Addison
Birthday Parties
in Chicago & Northern Illinois

The most incredible gal ever! Jessica is amazing. She has a way with the kids like no other. If the sweet side of every Disney Princess could be rolled into one person then you add creativity and fun with gentleness, you get Jessica. We used Parties with Character for my daughter’s 5th birthday party as Addison. There was a cheer camp, dancing, singing, all while talking about Zombies, Aliens and Werewolves. It was such a special day. We have been to many Parties with Character events and have seen so many different characters acted out by her. Every time I am blown away at how perfectly perfect each character is portrayed. The costumes, the hair, the character facts/personality tidbits that Jessica sprinkles in. There is something more special about Jessica than just the costume/character though. Her heart is so big for kids. She includes all kids, makes each one feel special and she is so patient. She was so very easy to work with for my girl’s party. A call, a few e-mails and that was it. My daughter and her friends were entertained and had a blast. My cool-kid 7 year old son was dancing with Addison as well. Be still my heart! Your party will just be better with Parties with Character. Your child will have fun, feel special and core memories will be created. I am the mom of the party girl special memories were created for me!

We had the absolute best experience having Rumi join us for my daughter’s 5th birthday party over the summer! She was wonderful from start to finish and did such an amazing job bringing the character to life. My daughter and her friends were so excited to see Rumi! She was engaging, sweet, energetic, and did a fantastic job keeping the kids entertained. She made the birthday feel extra special and created memories that my daughter will never forget. The attention to detail and commitment to the character were incredible! We would highly recommend booking Jeff for any birthday party or special event. She truly made my daughter’s 5th birthday magical!

My daughter was SO HAPPY to see Elsa she cannot stop talking about her. Gave her such a good experience with her favorite Disney character

Parties with Character was an amazing experience!! She played Elsa at my daughter’s birthday party and we were all enchanted with her voice, her charisma, and her professionalism. She handled the kids with such kindness and they all had so much fun!! She was especially kind and understanding to my daughter who is more reserved and takes a little time to warm up!! Amazing service!!

Words cannot express how amazing our experience was with Parties with Character. From the moment she walked in the door, she was in character and commanded the attention of all the 4-6 year old little girls (no small feat!). My daughter had so much fun and absolutely loves her new “best friend”. I was so worried because my daughter knows everything about the Zombies movies…but our Addison was so knowledgeable about the movies, the characters, the cheers/dances, and the songs that she immediately made every girl there know she was the ready Addison! Even though it was not your typical princess party, she was so engaging. Singing songs, playing games, having “cheer camp”, giving makeovers, etc. Not only was she great at the party, but she was incredibly responsive during the planning process and easy to work with. She even reached out to find out my daughter’s favorite parts of the movies so she could customize the party for her! I would not only hire her for all my future parties, but I would recommend her for all my friends.

Rumi was absolutely amazing. A lot of kids were in attendance of my daughter’s 8th birthday and Rumi did an awesome job of being fully engaged with all the kids. They all felt seen and enjoyed everything from the cool photos that Rumi instantly printed, to the games she played with them. Don’t even get me started on the singing. It was a concert of little ones singing their favorite songs. Thnx Rumi. Would highly recommend.

She made more daughters birthday the best day of her life, she never once broke character. She event tended to my special needs nephew 10/10

My daughter had a fantastic time at a tea party with Elsa. Elsa took time to make every child feel special and have their own time with her. She signed my daughter’s frozen book and it has become a beloved book my daughters get out almost every day to read.

Amazing character experience! She created a new character (Addison from Zombies) just for our party and the costume, games, and character research was on par with what you would experience at Disneyland. She used her phone to play music for a dance party and even her wallpaper was a photo of Zed. 10/10.

Jessica was amazing! We had Rumi come to my daughter’s birthday party, and she not only dressed the part perfectly but was fully in character the whole time - in the conversations she had with the kids, and with singing their favorite K-pop demon hunter songs! The kids were singing along and dancing, and she even taught them some simple dance moves to do together. She added such a positive energy to the party and was so adaptable in working with the kids and helping with the party. As my first time working with her, I was glad to see she was communicative, timely, and just so easy to work with. Highly recommend!

We have used Parties with Character for the past 2 years for our daughter's 4th and 5th birthday parties. It is truly a magical experience that captures the true happiness of a child. Jessica portrays the characters with such enthusiasm and passion. We can't wait for our next party!

My girls (5 &3) and I have absolutely loved getting to join Jessica for so much fun at two Vernon Area Public Library events - once as Elsa and most recently as Jesse. Jessica is all about group fun while also making sure every kid is seen & heard & made to feel valued. Cannot emphasize how special these visits have been for us. Look forward to more Jessica time in the future!
