Awww thanks for this, Tanya!
I had so much fun with the kids, and the birthday girl!!! 🥰
Everyone loved the entertainment!! Both, the children and adults! Thank you miss make believe!
We have compared with others, Miss Make-Believe is by far our favorite. She worked through the whole party , very funny and professional. We loved her magic show and face painting etc. All kids loved her.
Marcus just loved Miss Make-Believe. She was the hit of the party. She entertained the babies, kids and adults. Everyone raved about the entertainment.
We booked Gayle as Elsa for my daughter’s “Frozen” themed 6th birthday party, based on all the fantastic reviews I’d read on GigSalad. Gayle exceeded our expectations, and then some, and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to make their child’s event a memorable one. From the moment she arrived (right on time), Gayle was in full Elsa character. I’ll never forget the look of pure JOY on my daughter’s face when Elsa surprised her at the party. She and her friends never stopped smiling and giggling the entire time. “Elsa” did an adorable interactive magic show, freeze dance party, and twisted balloons for everyone, and made it such a special day for all the kids. She was extremely engaging, entertaining, kind, funny, and professional throughout, and even had the parents laughing along. All the parents were absolutely raving about her afterwards, and asking how we’d found her. Thank you so much, Gayle, for making my daughter’s birthday the best one yet, and I hope we can have you back for another party! :)
Response from Miss Make-Believe:
Wow, Amy, thanks so much for taking the time to write such a kind review. I had so much fun at the party, we all had stars in our eyes 😊✨✨
💕Thanks again for having me and please stay in touch!

She was marvelous. We had grandchildren aged 4-10 in a separate function room while adults celebrated an anniversary. Every single child was entralled. Thanks so much.
Response from Miss Make-Believe:
Thank you ❤️
Miss Make-Believe did a great job entertaining a mingling large group. She provided entertainment with a variety of bubbles during the registration part of our fundraising event. Watching the huge smiles on the adults and seeing the kids running into the bubbles was such a treat!!
Cannot recommend Gail enough ! Communication with her was easy ! She kept the kids super engaged and did all
Sorts of fun things . She even got music and speakers with her for every act . She dressed up so well for the theme . We did bubbles show, magic and balloon twisting and kids loved every act . Group was 5-8 years . Thank you Gail for making our party so fun

Response from Miss Make-Believe:
Thank you for all the warmth and hospitality and giggles, Christina! ❤️
Miss Make-Believe did an amazing job entertaining our group of 3-7 year olds. She kept them busy with magic and games. She is full of energy and has wonderful patience. The kids had a great time. Would absolutely recommend her and would use her services again in the future.
Response from Miss Make-Believe:
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Gayle for making Amir’s 5th birthday special. He’s still talking about the magic show and his mouse face paint. Also, accommodating us within 72 hours was just awesome and is greatly appreciated .
Response from Miss Make-Believe:
Aw, thanks for the wonderful review, Chris. I had a blast at the party!!
🥳❤️🥳❤️
She only song a song in the face paint that’s it
Response from Miss Make-Believe:
I’m sorry to hear this, Ashuntai!
This is exactly why I ask how many kids will be attending beforehand. You said it would be a small group and there were dozens of kids! They seemed to have a good time though.
Kids loved her show. The show was fun and entertaining. She asked the birthday boy to help with one of her tricks he absolutely loved it. Miss make- believe was friendly and on time.
My son enjoyed the entertainment from beginning to end.
Awesome job! Face paint was amazing
Response from Miss Make-Believe:

My daughter and her guests had a great time with her, bubble performance is a must. The kids loved it!
Cinderella made our daughter feel special for her birthday. She was on time. And she did a magic show and face paint. We definitely recommend Miss Make-Believe.
Miss make believe was wonderful the kids love her she was very prompt and friendly. The grown-ups love her also
👍👍👍
She was amazing the kids were so engaged. She stayed in character and my daughter did not want to see her leave. The magic show was the best! She did not rush through anything and even after her time was up she was nice enough to give a child another balloon animal before she left. I would definitely book her again if I need any party entertainment!
Response from Miss Make-Believe:
Aw thank you Zulana :) I had so much fun with Zyla and your family and friends 🐞
Will be booking again! My daughter had stars in her eyes, she adored meeting Elsa. Very professional!
Miss Make-Believe was amazing and the best surprise we could've gotten for our 5 year old. Everything from her fun outfit to her beautiful work was more than we could ask for. Less kids arrived than planned due to weather and she still made the best of our time booked. You wouldn't regret having her at your next event!
She was the highlight of the party and the highlight of my kids year! She was able to engage all the kids of various ages and genders with her magic show and music. I feel lucky to have found her!
Miss Make-Believe (Gayle) was **amazing** as Sleeping Beauty (Princess Aurora) for our daughter's 3rd birthday party. She brought magic, face painting, games ... and such happiness to the kids at the party. The kids loved her, and she made the day for our birthday girl!! Highly Recommend!
Thank you for making the day so special for our little mermaid! You were absolutely AMAZING!! Exceptionally engaging, professional performance: singing, dancing, magic, art, activities and games— interacting with kids and adults alike. From our bull-in-a-china shop birthday princess, to our most standoff-ish princess, your ability to walk into a room full of complete strangers, intuitively and instantly connect, effortlessly pivot, and thoroughly entertain all in attendance was impressive to watch.
Thank you for a truly enjoyable and memorable entertainment experience.
PS: Your authenticity, kind energy and approachability did not go unnoticed by our most anxious, standoff-ish little princess; previously prone to melt-downs with any mention of a princess attending her own birthday, promptly requested Princess Aurora attend her party the following month.
Let me just start this off by saying what a pleasure it was having Gayle at our party a few months ago. Even though it was our youngest daughters birthday party, both our girls, 6 & 10, loved her as a roller skating Elsa! (They even want a pair of their own skates!). She is patient, considerate and makes every child feel special, our little Aquarius loved it. Her costumes and character are ten out of ten, would highly recommend her for your next birthday party.
Gayle is very enthusiastic and definitely brought a lot of energy and life to the party, all of the activities, games, and songs that she brought with her made this party a memorable one. If you have an important party be sure to hire her!
I can’t recommend Gayle highly enough for all your children’s party entertainment needs. She is a consummate professional who takes pride in her work and who clearly loves her job. Gayle performs magic tricks, sings, twists balloons, roller skates and face paints all without breaking character. Children are mesmerized by her presence, she truly is magical! Can’t wait for another opportunity to hire her.
Gayle was wonderful at my son’s 5th bday party. She came as Jessie from Toy Story and the kids loved her. She was very engaging and entertaining with the kids
I can’t say enough about how great Gayle was at being Elsa for my daughter’s birthday! Face painting, dancing, limbo and magic tricks! She even ended the afternoon with a super special roller skating routine to Let It Go. Literally blew the minds of all the sweet littles at the party. Gayle is the best!
Gayle provided exceptional entertainment for a party of 15 children, which included ballon twisting, face painting and a magic show! I was impressed with her natural ability to keep everyone’s (adults included) attention for the entire performance! A pleasure to work with during the planning process. I will definitely have her back for the next birthday party! :)
Miss make-believe was very response, easy to work with, fair prices, and great with the kids. I will have her at all my parties and highly recommend her to anyone!
For my daughter’s 7th birthday party I contacted Gayle to help me with 10 girls and boys same age. She was super helpful! The kids were entertained for two hours, had fun and we( the parents) could enjoy ourselves too! Super recommended!
our experience was amazing. we loved every bit of the performance.
Price Range: $200 and up
Joy, laughter, learning, music, magic, timeliness, dreams coming true!
I absolutely adore what I do. I never tire of making kids happy in creative new ways! I am prompt and professional with parents and grateful for the opportunity to make memories for every client.
With years of expertise in magic, face-painting, balloon-twisting, bubble shows, and more, Miss Make-Believe is the complete party package!
