What Families Say About Aurora
"We met Princess Aurora today! We all wish she could've stayed longer! Everyone had a blast playing a dragon egg hunt game, listening to her sing and taking silly pictures! Wouldn't change anything about our experience!"
Princess Aurora came to my daughter’s 5th birthday party and it was such a magical time! The process from booking to the end of the party was easy and seamless. This is not just someone who poses for pics - her ability to story tell and sing and engage with kids is truly one of a kind and worth every penny! I was especially impressed with her ability to handle many different personalities of the 4 and 5 year olds at the party - from super shy to high energy, even redirecting a girl who had difficulty following the rules of the game with such ease. All of the party guests left feeling pampered and loved on by her. My daughter will be talking about this party for a long long time!
We have been watching a LOT of online story times the past year. And I mean a LOT. The story times with Parties with Character are by far THE BEST. Jessica does a fantastic job portraying each and every character. She sings, she reads, she interacts with the kids. My 4-year-old daughter won a personal video call with Aurora following one of the story times. It. Was. Absolutely. Fantastic. My daughter LOVED every second of it. Aurora was such a delight to talk and sing with and she made my daughter feel so special. Thank you, Jessica, for bringing princesses, super heroes, and fairies into our house every week!
My six-year old met Princess Aurora after a library bedtime story Facebook live event (10/11/20). Her eyes lit up with excitement from start to finish. Princess Aurora was kind, funny, had a beautiful singing voice, and didn't have any of the awkward don't-know-what-to-say-next-ness of virtual meet and greets. She had extensive knowledge of every Disney movie that my kindergarten princess fanatic could throw at her. She was so interactive, and noticed small details that were special. My daughter is so taken with her, and I'm just as charmed. What a treat!

90 minutes · Up to 15 children included in pricing
