I'm the Back Bay Mermaid, also known as Mermaid Candace. I'm passionate about keeping our beaches clean, working with creative individuals and putting smiles on faces of all ages! When I'm not collecting seashells or lurking around Back Bay, I'm entertaining humans near and far. I place great value in providing a quality experience for every party, event or collaboration. I love bringing the fantasy of being a mermaid into reality!
Mermaid Candace was amazing! She adapted to our kiddos and the chaos that a 4 year old party entails. Children got special time with her solo and she interacted as a group engaging all ages. Would highly recommend Candace!
Response from The Back Bay Mermaid:
Thank you so much for the kinds words! It makes me happy to see the kids happy, I hope Charlotte had fun!
Thank you so much Candace & Bryn for making our event one for the books!!
Response from The Back Bay Mermaid:
It was an absolute pleasure, thank you so much for having us!
We loved mermaid Candace for my twin girls sixth bday party. It was a pool party and the rain was a possibility and Candace worked with me on options if it rained. It ended up not raining and we surprised our little girls with a mermaid. They can’t stop talking about it. She was great with giving enough time with the kids and gave them all attention. She swam and did flips with her tail. She read a story and gave my girls sea shells in a bag and an oyster with a pearl in it. She had a cute story about pirates too. Highly recommend!! Memories made for a lifetime.
Response from The Back Bay Mermaid:
I love what I do and it means the world to me that everyone had a good time! Thank you for choosing me to entertain on your girls special day (and those photos are mer-mazing)! Thank you Jessica!!

She was absolutely stunning and so good with all the kids! My daughter loved her and so did all the kids at the party! It’s the next day and she’s still talking non stop about the beautiful mermaid that came to her party.
Response from The Back Bay Mermaid:
Your daughter was absolutely adorable and I'm so glad she had a good time! Thank you so much!
Having collaborated with The Back Bay Mermaid on a number of projects, it’s clear she is a true professional. Her attention to detail is much appreciated. She works hard, and is committed to providing an exceptional creative product.
One additional benefit to working with The Back Bay Mermaid, is her handler. He will often make the process more efficient by assisting her when needed.
Absolutely loved having The Back Bay Mermaid at our party. She was amazing with the kids and really helped them to warm up to her. Would definitely invite her out again!
Response from The Back Bay Mermaid:
All the kids at the party were sweeter than a starfish. I hope Abrie-Eileen had a great birthday! Thank you very much Jessica!
