What Families Say About Elsa
"Elsa was wonderful! She engaged with every single child and made them all feel so special. The songs and games were a big hit and even the kids that weren’t Frozen obsessed were captivated by Elsa and enjoyed the party. I would definitely recommend!"
I can’t say enough great things about parties with character ! Soooooooo talented and just the most perfect princess elsa experience ever. My four year old is still on cloud nine
Wow! What a perfect birthday celebration! Elsa made our daughter and all her friends feel so special… we had blast!! We only saw the biggest most genuine smiles / laughs
I had found Parties with Character when I was trying to find Elsa for my daughters frozen Birthday party. From the first message I sent I knew this was the place I was going to hire. The prices are great, the activities that come along with it all are super fun for the kids. I knew it was the best birthday suprise when my daughters opened the door and there was Elsa singing. Their faces lit up so much, and as soon as Elsa walked in the door she took in all the hugs the kids were giving. She was so good with the kids, let them all ask questions, let them all sing and dance with her. My daughters still talk about Elsa coming to their party and I know I will definitely be having her back. Another amazing part was when Elsa sent my girls a card a week after their party, they instantly wanted to send her letter and picture back, which Elsa said was okay. How awesome is that! I can not rave enough about how amazing Parties with Characters is. Makes little girls dreams come true! ❤️❤️
Hands down Jessica is one of the best character performers I have encountered. As frequent Disney visitors, dare I say better than some that we've encountered at the park. I was impressed with her ability to keep our kids entertained for a full 90 min in what is sure to be a core memory for our family. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to stay in character throughout the visit was extraordinary. The compliments for Jessica we received from family and friends were plenty and we even had parents at the party mention that they forgot their kids were there for a second, haha. She made my daughter, the birthday girl, feel so special and loved while still giving all the other children attention as well. My daughter definitely now thinks her and Elsa are best friends. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone for your party/event. This was truly one of the most magical birthday parties we've had. Thanks, Jessica!!
I decided to plan a party for my daughter’s fourth birthday. She mentioned that it would be so cool if we could invite the real Elsa. I checked out some princess companies and then a mom recommended Parties with Character in a local mom’s group. I read so many great reviews I decided to book her.Elsa (AKA Jessica) was AMAZING!!! My daughter can be shy when first meeting people or when meeting a princess at an event. Parties with Character made my daughter feel so comfortable and special. Every guest told me how wonderful Elsa was when interacting with the children, singing, playing games, and making sure each child had a special experience. When one of my daughter’s friends was leaving, she told me it was the best party she had ever been to! I would definitely book Parties with Character for another party and recommend her to all my friends.
