We hired the Grinch for our son's 1st birthday party last weekend and this was the best looking Grinch I could find and everyone loved him. He was fuzzy and not scary looking and the pictures everyone took came out amazing. The elf who came with him was super sweet and helpful. I would recommend hiring this duo for any Christmas event!
I would recommend her to anyone. She was patient and wonderful with the kids. One child actually cried when she left because they wanted to take her home! She made Mary the birthday girl extremely happy!
We had Spider-Man and Hulk come to my Son’s 5th birthday party. The kids were distracted because it was at an indoor play place but the two super heroes were super engaging and the kids had a great time! Thank you again!
Jack was fun and interacted with all of the kids in a big way. Sally was sweet and patient and coordinated games. They were lovely and a great addition to our annual Halloween party, thanks again!!!
I hired Desiree for the second time and she’s such a great entertainer! She dressed the part and the kids LOVED every minute she was there! She took pictures with all the kids, painted their faces, and balloons! She’s so professional and so kind! I will for sure continue to hire her!
We hired Magical Events for our wedding this past weekend and our guests loved it! I would highly recommend this company and I will definitely use them again for other events.
Desiree was absolutely amazing!! We had a bit of a unique setup as we were making this be a surprise which took place in the bay so had to have her arrive and depart in secret on the beach. They got to swim with her in the bay - It was so special and a day my girls will never forget! I’m so happy as a parent to have had the opportunity to do something like this for them.
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much!!!
The ladies did a great job of providing fun activities for my daughters 3rd birthday. She had so much fun dancing and playing games with her favorite characters. They were professional, on time and communicated regularly during the hour to make everything run smoothly. Would hire again!
Made a hybrid Rapunzel/Spider-Man birthday party dream come true! Both my son and daughter were thrilled. Desiree and magical events were excellent! My children had a wonderful time. The face painting, super hero training, performance, Birthday songs and dancing were great and I know my children and their friends will cherish these memories for a long time. I wills recommended magical events to anyone looking to book costumed characters. Thank you for a lovely day!
Mirabel was amazing! she engaged and entertained the kids the whole time. Cute poses like Mirabel and very sweet! great experience!
Such a great party with Anna and Elsa! They sang and danced with the kids. My granddaughter will never forget her 5th birthday party!
Thank you so much! You made my daughter’s birthday so special!!
My Granddaughter and her friends were in awe of our Mermaid. Her costume was so realistic and she was, professional, entertaining and friendly. She loves her job and it shows.
I had Elsa at my daughters 4th birthday and the kids loved it! She crowed the birthday girl sang songs and danced with the kids and then sang happy birthday. Such a special touch to the day! I definitely recommend this to anyone!
Great job and so easy to work with.
Was fabulous. She arrived on time. She looked fantastic. She played with the kids. She danced with the kids. She sang with the kids. Was there for the cake cutting. Held my granddaughters hand. My granddaughter had a fantastic time as did the other people at the party. I would recommend her to anyone for a child’s party.
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much!
They were very entertaining and interactive with the children.
The kids (mostly 7 year olds) really enjoyed having Harry Potter teach them how to make his magical wishing spell and being sorted into houses! He did a great job keeping them engaged and entertained!
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much! :)
Magical Events did an amazing job! They looked perfect (Anna and Elsa), sounded amazing and were great interacting with the children. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future!
If I could give Desiree more than five stars I would! She was there on time and kept the children entertained the entire time ! She was absolutely wonderful !! My daughter loved every minute of her birthday party when she was there. She said she wants her again next year! Super happy and couldn’t thank her enough for a wonderful time!!
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much! I would love to be there next year again!
Great communication before the party! Kids had a fabulous time! My daughter said the unicorn princess was her favorite part. Would absolutely recommend and would hire again!
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much! :)
Deseree the mermaid was so professional and sweet. The kids were in awe of her beautiful and realistic tail! They loved their mermaid makeovers and the boys their pirate make overs.. some of the adult guests even joined in on the fun. Brought our event do the next level.
We had Elsa and Olaf of Frozen fame come to our community event. They were great! Super engaging with the children! Couldn’t have been nicer and they offered to stay a little extra since it was busy. Would definitely book them again!
My event was timed to have Elsa sing with the birthday girl, unfortunately that didn’t happen. I understand that weather may be a factor however with preparation it could have been avoided. Without notice we were waiting & attempting to stall in order to have it line up. Also, the ad stated that Elsa would give the Birthday girl a crown which did not occur.
It was really hard to choose a temporary tattoo artist on gigsalad because of so many talented people here, but I am so happy with our choice! Not only did the artist do a great job, but also she came dressed as a character that kids loved! Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Desirae and her staff enough. They did Hocus Pocus for my daughter’s party and made the party! Everything was amazing and on point from the costumes to the entertainment. We will be using them for every event moving forward and received so many compliments!
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much! We had just as much fun doing it! :)
Spider-Man was great!!! The kiddos loved him! Showed up right on time and even hung around to sing happy birthday! Overall an awesome addition to our sons birthday party!!
Would recommend Magical Events to anyone. She did an amazing job.
Kids and adults enjoyed the party. Professional, but down to earth. Great with the kids and all of their questions!
Desiree was a huge hit with our wedding guests. We got married at an Aquarium and hired her to come out mid reception. The aquarium staff wheeled her out on her mermaid cart. The kids ran up to her first but all the adults we just as amazed with her and everyone took pictures. She was the highlight of my reception and she made our wedding day everything we envisioned and more!
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much :)
Great experience
We worked with Magical Events for a Darth Vader character for a community event we had. The actor arrived early and was set up in time, was great with people while in costume, and was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Magical Events and will definitely do business with them again.
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much, Brittney! It was our pleasure!
I had a baby shark team party and I'm glad a shark was there...but the suit was big for the performer even though she made it work.
Having Professor Snape to our home was the perfect compliment to my sons Harry Potter themed birthday party. Him and his friends had an amazing time and were in awe at the wizard that stood before them showing them how to make "potions". The communication prior to the party was on point. They were quick to respond and super kind. I would highly recommend using them for any party plans you might have~!
Mickey was wonderful and his handler was fun and energetic. They were on time and interacted with all of the kids. Mickey posed for photos and then they played games with the kids. After games, Mickey and his handler stayed for the singing of Happy Birthday. It was a magical experience for all involved.
Response from Magical Events:
So glad to hear :) thank you!
All of the kids loved "Snow White"" at our event! Desiree was fantastic! As I looked around our event, every little kid had their face painted! They loved it! I would definitely recommend and hope to book her for a future event!
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you Tara, for including me in your event! Please contact me if you need anything in the future!!!
Thanks so much for making my daughter’s 3rd birthday special. She was very excited to have her and her friends face painted by Elsa and favorite part may have been the dance party !
Response from Magical Events:
Thank you so much ❤️
They were so professional and amazing!! They helped make the party that much better. Not only did they call and confirm everything we wanted for my sons 2nd birthday party they also got his favorite character to come to. Mickey Mouse danced with the kids, took pictures, and even helped sing happy birthday to our son!! While Mickey Mouse was dancing there was face painting going on!! The children had so many options to choice from! They were fantastic and super polite!! We could rant and rave about how amazing they are!! Will be booking them again!! Fives stars all the way!!
Response from Magical Events:
