I “interviewed” several pirate impersonators when planning my twins birthday party, and was completely sold on The Pirate Empire from the first phone call. Steven was enthusiastic, helpful, and full of great ideas during the planning process, and somehow exceeded all expectations for the event. He had all guests of all ages (1-60s) completely engaged and entertained for hours. Over the past few years, I’ve hired several different entertainment companies and this one takes the cake by far.
We also hired Mermaid Gina as recommended by Steven, and she was nothing short of incredible as well.
My kids woke up this morning asking when Captain Jack and Mermaid Gina are coming back, and I recieved texts all day from the guests raving about them as well.
Thank you SO much to The Pirate Empire for an unforgettable event, but looking forward I have no idea how I’ll ever top this!!

Captain Jack Sparrow was sensational! He was terrific to work with and was incredibly entertaining with our guests. His flexibility with our Rain Date was most appreciated. We would 100% use him again!! 🏴☠️

We had Jack Sparrow come to my son’s fourth birthday party, and he was amazing! All of the adults continue to rave about how funny and witty he was. My dad even said he’d like to pay him just to hang out with him for the evening ha ha. The kids thought he was the real Jack Sparrow and loved the treasure hunt and balloon sword fight that he arranged for them.
Communication was great, and Steven was easy to text or call to arrange the party time. We highly recommend!

Captain America drove 3 hours to my nephew's birthday party - he kept the kids entertained as well as the adults. It was amazing!!!
Children’s Party Entertainment
Steven was very easy to do business with. He arrived early and did everything that he said he would. He entertained everyone, even the adults with his ready wit. The children squealed with delight. We had an amazing party. Really recommend Steven. He's great with the children, fun and really convincing!

We booked 4 months in advance and out a deposit down. 1 month before the party wanted to confirm everything was good. No contract no receipt nothing. 9 week before the party no responses and communication. The night before my so s party he emailed me and said he would t make it. Not reliable and poor communication. Never again will hire this company.
Costumed Character
Our community association hired The Pirate Empire to provide a Santa character for our holiday event. The service we received was very good. Steven arrived early, even after traveling 3 hours from the Philadelphia area to Bowie, MD where our event was being held! He was polite and professional. His impersonation of Santa delighted the children and adults alike. Thank You to the Pirate Empire for their role in creating a memorable event for our residents!
Santa Claus
He was the surprise guest at our Cub Scout event. He was AWESOME ! My nephew has a speech impediment, and he was randomly picked to be a participant on stage when he raised his hand (needless to say, I was very anxious for him). When Captain Jack asked my nephew for his name, my nephew replied as best as he could "Jack !".. without missing a beat, Captain Jack replied, "That's a great name". Captain Jack even asked my nephew a few questions, and had conversation. My nephew was ECSTATIC ! My nephew is still talking about it to his Mom, Dad, and his Grandparents. He wants to be a pirate for Halloween instead of Captain America. He loved your 'pirate speak'. Thank you for being warm-hearted and understanding.

Jack Sparrow came to our scout event over the weekend and he was hilarious! Had the parents and kids laughing so hard. We did a lot of fun things at this camp out and he was the highlight!

Captain Jack performed at my grandson's 7th birthday party. He was absolutely wonderful entertaining the kids, as well as the parents and family. Capt Jack's voice is like the pirate, strong and heavy. He really resembles Johnny Depp. Everyone had so much fun asking me where did I find him. I was so amazed by him myself. Capt Jack was the light of the party. My grandson was surprised to have him at his party. He had no clue or his classmates and friends. The look on my grandsons face was priceless. Captain Jack is amazing by what he does with the kids. He is so involved in what he does and it shows. I highly recommend him for your special day. He will give a great performance. Do not hesitate to call him for your special event. He will be worth it and you will be writing a review like me!!!!
Johnny Depp Impersonator
I had hired him 5 months in advance. He was extremely nice and helpful all the way through the months leading up to the event. I had given a deposit. The week or two before the event I tried reaching him by phone, email and facebook messenger and he did not return any of my calls. I advertised like crazy that he would be at the fair. He did NOT call me back or email. He still hasn't. He never showed up to the event. I am now trying to get my money back. Bad customer service, and bad business. This is someone that could of had a gig at least 3 times a year with us. I am very upset and disappointed.

Jack Sparrow came for my daughter's 4th birthday party. She was so excited, every time he even looked at her, she lit up. Steven made her feel so special and was a huge hit with the entire crowd.
I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough! Thank you for everything.

We went to a friends 5th birthday and captain Jack was there. He was hilarious and so engaging with everyone at the party, small and old! My son was never really "into" pirates,however, after that party it's all pirates now! Needless to say we had a BLAST!

I was at a friend's 9 year old son's birthday party. He was perfect. The kids never stopped having fun. Balloon swords were the best along with the un-dead monkey the birthday boy received. He kept telling jokes the whole party that were for the kids as well as the adults. Steven made sure the adults sayed involved as well. My friend told me that she tried to get his picture on her son's cake, and the bakery refused as they thought he was Johnny Depp. I would highly recommend him for any party!
Johnny Depp Impersonator
Steven was awesome for my son's 9th birthday. He kept the kids moving, jumping, interested, talking and more. The adults had just as much fun as the kids epecially with the balloon sword fight! I would highly recommend him for any event that you are planning!
Johnny Depp Impersonator
I just had the best luck in finding this incredible Jack Sparrow for my daughter's 4th birthday party! Steven was as close to the real Captain Jack as you can hope for and really gets into the character. He really made the party so memorable! I would highly recommend him for any type of event!
