Response from Carol Weakland:
Thank you so much, Janet! Lucy had a "Ball" of a time entertaining the ladies. Even a tornado couldn't permanently shut her down!
Carols presentation of I Love Lucy Remembered was entertaining and fun.
Response from Carol Weakland:
Thank you so much , Dawn! Lucy had a "Ball" entertaining everyone at the park!
Given that this was the first time that Carol played Maleficent, I was truly impressed. The costume was outstanding and the way she interacted with our party made it very special. I highly recommend Carol for your next event.
Response from Carol Weakland:
Thank you so very much, Ranae. Malificent had a magical time entertaining the little beasties and your family.
We had never hired a singing telegram. These days, it seems like a lost art. Carol showed us that the art is alive and she is excellent at it. She came to my mom’s birthday party as Dolly Levi from the movie Hello Dolly and sang Hello Dolly to my mom named Dolly. When we asked her to sing the whole song, we were thinking the 2 minute version by Louis Armstrong. She came and sang the whole 5 minute song - Louie Armstrong, Barbara Streisand, and the Chorus! She blew us away! It was so hot outside, but she was as cool as a cucumber. She is so kind and a great star! Thank you Carol for making the day so special for everyone!
Response from Carol Weakland:
Thank you so much, Wendy. It was such a beautiful experience to perform Hello Dolly for your Mother. She is such a dear soul.
Please send her my love!

Carol walked me through every step. I am pretty sure I was a pest throughout the process. She was courteous at all times, and very attentive to my messages. I look forward to having Carol entertain us again in the future.
Carol's performance was wonderful. It was my daughter's Birthday celebration, and she was very excited to have someone sing to her!
Thanks to Carol, and to GIGsalad, for putting us in touch with each other.
Response from Carol Weakland:
Thank you so much, Bonnie! I really enjoyed entertaining the beautiful Tianna and your family for her birthday 🎂 You were not a pest. It all turned out beautifully!
Thank you so much 💓
Carol

Lucy was going to come and perform at a softball tournament for my wife for Mother’s Day. Well, it rained all day and I had to reroute her to the hotel we were staying at with the team. She was there with no complaints, and did a great job.

From start to finish, the experience was exact and professional.
Carol was very sweet and very professional. She was kind enough to travel a distance to be here. She stayed to take pictures with the guests. Her act was very well planned out. Everyone enjoyed her talents.
Response from Carol Weakland:
Thank you so much, Janet! Lucy had a "ball" entertaining everyone at your daughter's birthday party! It was a wonderful experience!
Carol
“Holly” was great! The kids loved her. She was so believable. I love the “stories” she told. They all had a lesson to learn.
Carol was an excellent performer and the kids loved being around her! Her portrayal of Ariel was great! Thank you very much, Carol!
Carol did a great job entertaining the kids with making magic wands and the scavenger hunt.
I didnt really interact with her, so I dont know how much of a hit she was
Response from Carol Weakland:
I was greeted and received by another woman. She was the one who kept in touch with me throughout the course of the evening.
Carol was an absolute blessing to our production. She was very professional, took ownership of her role, and gave us 200%. She was easy to stay in contact with, quick to respond, and made our event unbelievably smooth. I would highly recommend her!
Response from Carol Weakland:
Thanks, Steve,
It was a joy to bring Mrs. Claus to life in your video. Wishing you the best! Carol
We hired Carol to do a children's interactive halloween walk through . She made our event truly amazing!! Her performance is very interesting and fun. Such a wonderful actress. She captivated them as she performed a short story that ended with a moral or lesson. I would refer her to anyone for any age or event. She is so easy to work with, very pleasant personality and well versed. I cannot say enough!!! What a wonderful experience for our staff and the participants.
We hired Carol to make a visit as the Queen of Hearts to the lodge we'd rented for our wedding for our two families. There were a lot of kids, and they were totally amazed to have Her Majesty there. She was enchanting, professional, warm, engaging and just wonderful. I am SO GLAD I chose Carol over something like face-painting or balloon animals. The experience was so much richer and more memorable for the kids, who got to participate in something truly interactive, rather than just sitting still or watching.
Carol had tea with the children, told them the story of Alice in Wonderland, then did a wand-making project that they loved so much. Her costuming was astounding, as was her acting. Please, if you're considering entertainment for your next party, choose Carol. She can do a huge variety of roles, is happy to work around your needs and take suggestions, and knows what she's doing.
The kids are still talking about their visit from the Queen, and it will be a memory that will last forever for them. My wedding morning was made all the more special because Her Majesty came to call, and enchanted all the children I love so much.
Response from Carol Weakland:
Her Majesty thanks you and the princesses for an absolutely enchanting experience - one that will linger forever in her heart!
Fantastic performance of "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" at the Vic. I can't wait to see your other shows!
