Your choice of 15-60 minutes · Up to 15 children included in pricing
- ★ Active games — classic childhood games with a themed twist, because enjoying something they already love invites children to feel confident and connected
- ★ All their favorite songs, woven into conversation and throughout the games — and sung together face-to-face
- ★ Photo ops at the end, because by then they are hugging a friend, not smiling on cue
- ★ Silver is simply this: friendship with their hero, while their favorite movie comes to life before their eyes
90 minutes · Up to 15 children included in pricing
- ★ Every child goes home with a printed 4x6 portrait. A party favor that's meaningful and personal.
- ★ Portraits are taken near the end of the party, after we become friends. Taking a picture together is a playful experience on its own!
- ★ Portrait equipment requires no outlet and has a small footprint with no cords for kids to trip on — it works well literally anywhere!

- ★ Edited digitals follow within two weeks, included in the package price
- ★ Everything in Silver
120 minutes · Up to 15 children included in pricing
- ★ Your choice: makeovers, or decorating a frame for the portrait
- ★ Makeovers include no-mess iridescent biodegradable glitter roots, face gems, and rainbow clip-in tinsel — fancy and one of a kind.
- ★ A high quality metal beaded best-friends bracelet, because a tangible, wearable token of their new friendship is a gift that will keep the memories close

Overall rating
Parties with Character made my child's third birthday party extra special. She was Ghost Spider and 100% in character the whole time. Her attention to details and the extra special gifts was the cherry on top. If you are on the fence at all about hiring her for your child's party.... do it! You won't regret it!!
J Jaimee H. on Facebook 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!
L LM on Google 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!
C caitlin k. on Google 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!
A Aley H. on Google 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!
M Megan K. on Google 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
K Katelyn L. on Facebook 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!!
M Mariana L. on Google I believe it was my daughters 5th birthday party, so 4 years ago we had "Ariel" show up to her birthday. It was such a great time my daughter still talks about her birthday and having ariel there. She talks about the treasure hunt, ariel playing on the playground with her and all of her friends! "Ariel" gave my daughter the shell necklace that held ariel's voice and my daughter had treasured that so much. Unfortunately, an accident happen where it had broke. My daughter was devestated, so i reached out to see if we could somehow get another one made, and jessica was sweet enough to make another necklace and write a note from ariel to her. My daughter was so excited to find that ariel had delivered her an extra special gift and her necklace was made whole again. She was so excited with giggles and smiles and immediately put it on. I also still get compliments to that birthday party from the parents that were there. She does an amazing job and also cares so much about the kids she brings joy to! Thank you so much for all you do to bring the magic and helping to make memories that will last a lifetime!
E Elisabeth N. on Google 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.
D David A. on Google 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
D Daekwon M. on Google 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.
