If you’re going to spend $500 on an awkward, cringey Spiderman experience, buy a cheap costume and pay someone from your local high school drama club to wear it for an hour.
The performer, Jake, was in contact early and showed up with a card for the birthday boy. He arrived in full Spidey suit, walks through the door, and instead of playing into it at all while these five kids are running up to him, like saying, “Hey, I just finished webbing up Electro and wanted to swing in for the birthday party!” He literally says, “Can someone point out the birthday boy for me?” hands the birthday boy his card, and then just stands there. He should have been provided with some sort of script, dialogue, etc. from this company and it’s clear that he was not. He showed up with his dad, which makes sense given this kid might be 18. Jake understandably called him his photographer. Aaron had already told me he was his dad. (Huge red flag that Aaron does NOT have his performers’ best interests in mind.)
Jake had no idea what to do, at all, and was incredibly uncomfortable the entire time. One of the birthday boy’s favorite things to do is build with blocks, so I figured the birthday boy would want to share that with Spiderman. Jake sat down and nodded at every block he was handed before simply setting it down. We also had these spray cans so the kids could have ‘web-shooters.' I tried to hand Jake one and he would not take it.
Aaron, the business manager, is going to call me a ‘problem client.' Of course I have to be a Karen if I’m not entirely thrilled with his scam. He will take absolutely no responsibility for his ineptitude or for throwing his performer into a situation wholly unprepared.
The party was on 7/6 and is a bit of drive, I get that. That’s why I tipped well, even though I 100% overpaid for this ‘experience.’ Aaron was super aggressive from the start, a genuine hustler about every little thing. Telling me why 2 hours was so expensive as it is incredibly taxing on the performer (his words), so I say an hour would be fine. No change in price which is odd, so I ask about it and of course he has a dozen reasons why it’s the same price. I took a while to book because something just felt ‘off.'
I asked Jake for the photos from his photographer on July 12th (he was using his phone so I didn’t imagine there was much if any kind of editing going on to make it take any actual time) and didn’t receive a reply. Today, 7/18, I asked Aaron to reach out for me, and his response was that it was a long drive (nearly 2 weeks later?), and that I hadn’t responded to him when he sent “hope the party went well.,” and asked me to take a minute to leave a 5 star review. Not an honest one, mind you, a 5 star review.
This guy knows what he’s doing- ripping people off, both those purchasing and the performers as well. Jake was beyond worried about anything happening to the suit. The kids got so bored of just ‘hanging out’ with Spidey (he would respond to them, but never took any initiative himself) that they went to play with a water table outside. Jake wouldn’t even go outside at this point because of the water. I ended up telling him he could leave about twenty minutes early because of how awkward it all was. And that $1,000 suit Aaron uses to justify his spiel? Literally $50 on multiple costume sites. (I was a Costume Designer in San Diego and there is no way that suit cost over $100, nor should getting it wet be an issue given the material.)
I hate writing bad reviews, everyone has off days, etc., but this was such a scam from the very beginning. The only reason I am writing this review at all is in the hopes that it helps someone else, either people looking for a performer or people looking to work for this company.
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
VENDORS- NEVER USE THIS PERSON. Erica Deretz. Wow, and yet today she asked for photos of the event, from us. So we requested a review for a 4 1/2 hr car ride to help them. A troubled person obviously. Your welcome. VENDORS DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, avoid this person completely.
Who doesn't take photos of their event?? And then asks the vendor, who's usually alone?
I actually have nice photos, one of the many above and beyond we did. If so disappointed, why would someone want photos??? HMMM. think on that.
This was just OK we have had events in the past where we have hired characters in Spider-Man has been one of them. The Spider-Man we hired for our last event was doing flips and Rillian character this Spider-Man just stood around, waiting for constant direction. I had to constantly tell him what to do at all times really wasn’t overly engaging with the birthday boy had to give constant reminders of who the birthday boy was all in all for my next event, I will likely hire another Spider-Man. I really wasn’t impressed and most of the guests at my party were wondering the same thing it was really a subpar experience.
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Unfortunately we knew this client would be a problem. We are the #1 Premier in NY Superhero & Santa group, always Top Performers with GigSalad and a 5* average with many reviews. We were the only ones offering to help her, but our 3 Spiderman were not available. We offered other heroes but it had to be Spiderman. She was distraught, so we went out and hired a 4th Spiderman, JUST FOR HER so the child would not be disappointed. This is the thanks we get. Our Spiderman says afterwards the child was thrilled, kids, all had a blast with our Spiderman. He presented a personalized birthday card, did Superhero training and offered storytelling. Posed for photos. That's a lot of activity, not standing around. She was supposed to do a Piñata and soccer at least. This is just a problem person that wouldn't even let our hero change there, that has never happened. A three hour round trip, gas & tolls & GigSalad fee expenses he paid. Your welcome.
Hulk made our grandson's day we highly recommend him
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Just a wonderful time, host, group, venue and Birthday boy.
We were very pleased when you contacted us the next day, saying the guest of honor is still so excited 24 hours later could he hear from The Hulk again? The Hulk was happy to and did. We have nice photos of the day also.
Thank you for thinking of NY's #1 Premier Superhero group A Time for Legends® and requesting The Hulk.
Was a good party and spiderman joined in on the games, took pictures, read a book, and sang happy birthday! Awesome experience!
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Thank you so much! It was truly a spectacular experience and I really hope all the kids had fun!
Your friendly neighborhood Spiderman

We have other heroes also for future events & Santa.
Spiderman from A Time for Legends® Legendary Characters
Super nice people. Some equipment issues delayed their start, but they made up for it by being great with the kids and adults at the party.
The team did a great job at our superhero corporate event. They arrived on time, and did a great job interacting with our guests. Thanks so much!
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Tim the Host is literally one of the nicest people we have ever met and a wonderful client!! Thank you Tim.
What an amazing event in one of Syracuse's nicest venues, the décor, staff, a long list all just 150% tops and professional.
We had a blast, a tremendous turnout of guests and they enjoyed every minute of the day.
The professional photographer was self sacrificing, sweet, courteous, did an amazing job and was totally accommodating to the guests and us. He took photos with their phones, and his own professional camera, acted as our escort, just can't say enough good about the photographer and the Host Tim.
You could tell all the guests were having a great day there and thoroughly enjoying themselves.
We have seen the photos and they are all amazing. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for inviting us.

My son - and the rest of the three year olds at the event - have NOT stopped talking about Spider Man and Hulk being at our birthday party. The guys were communicative, friendly and did a great job engaging with the kids. It was a huge surprise for all, including my husband, and was a major highlight of the day. They played games with my son and helped smash the piñata! There were a few uneasy kids who hung back with their parents but even they had a positive experience and have been speaking happily about it since. Would recommend!
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
What a wonderful review, thank you. And your photo is literally one of the best we've ever seen!! Thank you for sharing. You were a wonderful host and the superheroes had a blast.
It does happen with a few of the younger children, they get a little nervous around The Hulk and even Santa, as you know. Thank you for inviting us.

The most important thing is the kids and they loved the Hulk and Spider-Man!!
These guys have patience and understanding that was outstanding!
The kids are still talking about it and the adults loved the way they interacted with the kids.
I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Thank you so much, and what a wonderful photo.
It was a 6 hr round trip but these Superhero's wanted to make the guest of honors day and assist you in doing so, which you did. Thank you you were a complete pleasure to work with.

I hired both Superman and the Hulk to surprise my 4-year grandson at his birthday party recently and it was a big hit, all the kids enjoying meeting and having fun with both characters. Coordination with them in the scheduling process was easy and seamless, great communication and planning. They arrived early to be ready for the big surprise and also helped some of the more quiet, reserved kids loosen up and warm-up to them which was great to see. Highly recommended.
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Thank you so much Scott. It was a wonderful, well planned out event and we are very happy to have been part of it. The children and adults just a great group of folks. We love making people happy, thank you Scott.

This vendor canceled hours before party with no explanation or assistance with a backup plan. Extremely unprofessional, especially for a kids party since the kids were really excited about this and then had their hearts broken. I sent a message asking about alternatives and they didn't even respond to me. Will never trust this vendor again. I'm also still waiting for my refund.
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
we were very sorry this was the first and only time. As a college student unexpected requirements came forth, plus the campus had covid issues.
The party was a huge hit and all the kids were talking about it at my son's school when he was dropped off today. Spider-Man was on time and very professional and although shy at first my son and the other children warmed up to him quickly. Thank you so much for being there!
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Thank you so much, it was my pleasure. You are all wonderful people and I had a "swinging" time"!!
The photos are great!!

Spiderman interacted with kids and adults really well. Kids loved him and would recommend him!
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Thank you so much for your very kind words. I too had a blast and thank you for sharing these photos. They are "amazing" quality. I would be happy in the future to "swing" by for such wonderful and thoughtful people.

Spiderman came for a very special 5 year olds Birthday party. He was on time, his suit was very authentic, his personality was perfect for the character! Our Birthday boy was over the moon happy! The kids had a great time taking pictures with him and just hanging out with Spidey! Thank you so much you have no idea how much it meant to our little buddy! I would recommend and hire him again in a heartbeat! He even ran down the street when he left so the kids didn't see him get into his car. Just an amazing Spiderman!
Did a great job for a birthday parade. Great add on and surprise during this quarantine. Highly recommended!
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Thank you so much. You were all wonderful to be with for your special event.
The parade and appearance was fun and you made a 71 yr old and his family/friends very happy.

Spiderman has a great costume. Needs guidance on a tradeshow floor as this is a little out of his typical element. Unfortunately, the traffic on the show floor was lighter than usual.
The Scarlet Spiderman did a great of communicating before the event, arrived as planned and did a wonderful job of entertaining everyone! Well worth the cost (reasonable) for the delight he brought a bunch of children!
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Thank you so much. It was my pleasure working with such wonderful people and your special day.
We had a lot of activities going on , and a lot of older kids at our party, But Spider-Man Showed up and did everything we needed him to do. My Son was very excited and proud to say he had Spider-Man at his party !
Response from Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Captain Marvel, Santa, Green Lantern:
Thank you. It was an "amazing" event and fun for all.
Price Range: $250-$500
Gig Length: 10 - 480 minutes
