All of the staff at Creative Parties help to make my son's 5th birthday AMAZING!!!! He was super excited for Rey to come to his party and Annie Jo delivered. She was amazing (and really does look like Rey!!). She had the kids engaged and excited. And then the bonus of having Stormtrooper/turned good guy Bear was such a fun surprise. They had such great energy and worked so well together and worked so well with the group of kids at our party!!
Lisa was great to work with and kept me updated!
The parents loved the party as well. They had a blast watching their kids play and learn how to be a Jedi. And were all commenting on how entertaining and great they were with the all of kids.
My son is already talking about how Rey is going to come to his next birthday too!!
Thank you again for making my little one's day spectacular!!!

Barbie (Morgan) Interacted through conversations and games with the children from the moment she arrived until she left. She put a big smile on all the kids faces and kept them engaged the whole time she was there.
I would highly recommend Creative Parties & Events and specifically Morgan for a costumed Character.

We had a pocahontas Themed Birthday Party for our daughter's birthday and we hired creative parties for kids. For a live theatrical performance.
They did an unbelievable job!!!Our 6 and 7 year old daughters were mesmerized. The whole cast performed perfectly. Pocahontas character had a great voice. They are very friendly and professional. Children and adults all thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
Thank you once again for adding some magic to our daughter's birthday. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Much Appreciation,

We had the most amazing Star Wars party for my 7 year old son with 20 kids. We hired Darth Vader and Luke, who had a very funny sketch entertaining and involving the kids, followed by lightsabers fight (that they provided for the event). Very sweet and kind presence, can’t wait to hire Lisa’s company again.
PS Lisa herself was very sweet, creative and made my decision very easy. THANK YOU!!!!

We had Santa and his elf and our grand re opening celebration in December. They were great with our guest and fun to be around. We will be hiring them again for future events.
Costumed Character, Santa Claus
I have been working events for many years and the Santa we booked thru Creative Parties for Kids was by far the best I have ever hired, Creative Parties also supplied an elf to assist Santa at no extra charge.
I will be booking all my characters thru this company

I work at a private golf club and we hired an Easter Bunny from Creative Parties for Kids for our Easter Brunch.
Johnny was the most entertaining Easter Bunny I have encountered thus far. Every time I walked by, he was dancing and making everyone laugh. Members kept coming to me with compliments about how great the Easter Bunny was.
I look forward to hiring Creative Parties for Kid's for another one our upcoming events!

Lisa and her team provided exceptional service for our company auto show. She provided ideas to entertain kids, and delivered. Her crew and staff were prompt, professional and provided quality service. Lisa was the calm to my craziness and delivered exactly as she promised and beat out the competitors' pricing to make it happen. Her expertise was evident in the service provided!!

A big thanks to creative parties for kids, my daughter enjoyed her 2nd birthday. As she saw Elmo, she really ran to meet him and even danced. She enjoyed the games, bubble blowing, balloon twisting and face painting. A lot of her pictures were staring at Elmo, lol.
Glad I was able to booked it to you guys 1week before the event. Definitely gonna recommend you.
Hoping to work with you again soon! ☺

We had Owlette from PJ Masks and the kids just had the best time!! All the parents were so happy because they could actually socialize while Owlette entertained the kids! She stayed for cake, played games, had all the kids sign this big card she made-- it was the best party ever. Thank you!!
Costumed Character
We hired Creative Parties with short notice to provide entertainment for our 2 year old daughter for her birthday party. Creative Parties came through with flying colors!!! Despite the last minute notice, they provided an incredible Peppa the Pig character. The entertainment was great and you can tell that Creative Parties really cares about the kids. I was just expecting the Peppa the Pig character to walk around aimlessly - but no. There was story telling, games and activities that the kids enjoyed tremendously. Creative Parties went above and beyond to provide a special day for our daughter. We will be using them for future events!

I had a Pirate Princess party for my daughters 5th birthday and had Captain Jack Sparrow and Tinkerbell join us. The characters were amazing and remained in character the whole time and kept the kids engaged the entire 2 hours with activities. The kids loved it as well as all the adults. It was entertaining for all!!

From Chico,CA. Planned family vaca to Disneyland. First time for 3 granddaughters. We would be celebrating the girls birthdays.
Found CPFK on web. Made arrangements with owner Lisa and manager Tairy to plan a special event and have Princesses Elsa, Anna Snow White and Cinderella meet us at baggage claim and John Wayne airport. The princesses were in character the whole time. Photos, hugs and a song from each princess. I cannot thank Lisa enough for the professionalism of every one involved. This was a Magical memory for us all. THANK YOU so very much
the kids like kids had a wonderful time and Batman and the joker were a big hit. My son was thrilled.
Children’s Party Entertainment
We were blessed with having Elsa and Anna attend our 5yr old daughters party and they were amazing. Both stayed in character so well and did a great job entertaining a large group of kids while still keeping the birthday girl feeling special. I've seen 5 other Elsa's since and none of them even compared to this.

Creative Entertainment for Kids did a wonderful job at our company picnic. David arrived on time and very energetic. As asked, he was able to ‘modify’ his children’s games to meet our theme of “Despicable Me” and it was a hit.
Lisa was very accommodating and cost competitive which is key when you are on a tight budget.
I plan to hire them again next year.

I had a very large Star Wars themed birthday party for my son's 5th birthday. Lisa created a custom package for me that included Darth Vader, Luke, Leia and a Stormtrooper.
They did an amazing Star Wars show for both adults and kids which was choreographed and had dancers! Everyone was in awe to see the show which was so well written with movie lines and battle scenes between all 4 characters. The adults and kids felt as if they were in Disneyland! The kids loved being able to train as Jedi and fight against the Dark Side!
Lisa also provided jedi costumes for adults and kids!
A truly wonderful experience for all!

Thank you! We love working with you, and it is our pleasure to make your clients happy!
We were very happy with our Princess Elsa aka Haley who was an excellent princess! Haley has a beautiful voice and sung "Let it go" to the birthday girl. Lisa was very helpful and put together an Elsa costume within a week before birthday for the very first Frozen party. Lisa was great and she assisted the princess with fun princess games and face painting.
Thank you for a great party!

I had a Madhatter Tea Party for my baby shower and Creative parties made it come to life. I had the bunny greeting people, Alice walking around asking for Mr Rrabbit and the Madhatter helping host the tea party. I recommend Creative Parties for all occasions. Communication with the staff was exceptional. They called days before to confirm, day before and followed up with a response after the party.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We were so glad to be of service
We were hesitant hiring a performer for a Birthday since we had no experience but you removed any doubts we had once you started your entertainment. Thank you for doing a great job as Strawberry Shortcake at our daughter's 1 year Birthday Party. We wanted to thank you for putting in so much effort. Some of the things we noticed most about your performance were:
Professional never breaking character throughout the party.
Several games that kept the kids engaged.
Activities including dance and music.
Face painting was a hit with the kids.
Storytelling session involving one of the rabbits was great.
Our daughter was 1 year old and very sensitive but you kept her smiling.
Some of the kids activities revolved around making our child feel like the Birthday Girl by focusing the activities towards her. Ex. Poster Painting saying Happy Birthday.
Organizing all the kids together so that our photographer could take a group picture with all the kids.
We look forward to having you perform at future events for our children and we will definitely recommend you to other parents for their events. Thanks again.
Regards,
Singh Family

We provide a creative and theatrical approach to children's entertainment. The focus of our children's parties is on involving the children on a creative play level.

We do many kind of events and parties, and always start with what the client wants- whether it is a Super Hero Event at a Country Club, or like our recent appearance at a Taco Bell Employee Breakfast. We love to do holiday events, such as Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, Carolers, and The Easter Bunny. Lisa Cohen can also organize Judaic Community and Family Events. She has worked with The Jewish Community Center of OC for many years.
Our clients can expect talented, lovely caring entertainment with a creative and custom approach...all supervised by our director, Lisa Cohen, who has spent years as a drama, dance and music teacher for young children.

Influences & Inspiration
My backround as a dance and drama teacher is the inspiration for our entertainment style. I am influenced by Piaget and the theory of dramatic play. I think that events should involve the adults as well....parties are a time when there is "Permission To Pretend" - whether it is a caricature artist drawing a grandma on a motor-bike or a princess fantasy tea party....this is the time the time we can escape and enjoy the best in life.
We are all very well trained in theatre. Most of the entertainers on our team have degrees in or are studying dramatic arts.
Testimonials
