Make your next gathering magical by inviting a real mermaid! Janessa can swim in the pool in her mermaid tail, as well as lounge pool side, serenading with relaxing harp music, for a children’s party as well as your adult cocktail party. Janessa can be engaging entertainment, or background atmospheric music. Your choice!
Janessa is also a professional Celtic harpist, and can offer that separately, or combined with a mermaid appearance for mermaid music entertainment.
Straight out of a fairy tale. The way she mesmerized these rambunctious kiddos and adults alike was unbelievable! She is the enchantment every party needs!
Response from Mermaid Janessa:
Thank you so much Shamim! It was an honor to join in the magic! ✨
Princess Janessa came to my granddaughters 3rd birthday party. It was amazing and a huge hit with the kids and adults alike. She is really great with kids mesmerizing and tells great stories sings beautifully and does fantastic face painting. It kept the kids enthralled the entire time and made it a super special day for my little granddaughter to meet her heroine Elsa in the flesh. I highly recommend Princess Janessa for birthday parties that are a tremendous success and so much fun!!!!

Mermaid Janessa was awesome at my girls partys! The kids all loved her. She’s very patient with all the girls. I would highly recommend her for your next party
Vanessa is gifted, talented, pleasant, kind, very sensitive to others in the EVENT. She extends and gracefully is inclusive of others.
Thank you, Vanessa. I look forward to booking with you again.
Janessa was wonderful! Our members loved listening to her play as they enjoyed their meal. She did such a great job, showed up on time, and was flexible with us. We can't wait to have her back in the Summer to swim with the children in our pools!

Response from Mermaid Janessa:
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed being a part of the magic everyone created there for that special day! ✨🙏🏻 Thank you for letting me be your harpist!
Mermaid Janessa was amazing as Princess Elsa, she interacted with the children and played games. She sat with Princess Justice and they had the greatest time just talking Princess to Princess.
Janessa played at our Mother's Day brunch at our senior living community. Her harp playing was incredibly beautiful and greatly added to the ambiance. Our residents were filled with delight. Janessa was very pleasant to work with and her communication was excellent. We look forward to hiring Janessa again for another event at our community in the future!
Response from Mermaid Janessa:
Thank you so much Wendy! It was an absolute honor!
In spite of the cool, windy weather, Janessa was the ultimate pro. She entertained several 6 year olds with mermaid tales, playing her lap harp and adding fish scales face paint to cheeks. After a year of quarantine, these kids were ready for a safe conversation with make believe. Would hire again!
Janessa made my daughter’s 6th birthday Princess Tea Party magical. She told stories, played the harp, and painted faces! All the children were amazed. Thank you Janessa!
Janessa was responsive and on time, came in perfect costume and was on point!
This was one of the best gigs ever!! Mermaid Janessa made my daughters 10th birthday so so special!! We had the setting on a beach and my daughter couldn’t be more ecstatic when she got the susprise that a real mermaid came all the way from the bottom of the sea to wish her. Janessa played the harp so beautifully, had amazing conversations with my daughter and her friends (friends joining through zoom). It was simply magical! Highly recommend mermaid Janessa
To make any themed party most special and a lifetime experience for kids!
This was such a hit! Pure entertainment and was such a magical time! Janessa stayed in character the whole time and was full of stories that kept the kids intrigued - she swam with them, and played games in the pool, then moved on to face painting which was a very efficient smooth activity also afforded enough time for photos at the photo
Booth with the kids both group and Individual ! Adults and children were all very impressed! I would recommend her to anyone that wants that really mermaid experience for any event! 🙌🏻🧜🏻♀️💖
Response from Mermaid Janessa:
Thank you so much for the review! I had a great time, the little ones were so sweet! ✨
