How far do you travel?
Wondering how far the "carriage" will go?
Each entertainer can travel up to 25 miles away from home, with no travel fees. Most are willing to travel a further distance for a reasonable fee of $0.50/extra mile. Our Princess Castles and Hero HQ's are located mostly in central and southern Virginia, in the Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg, Richmond, and Hampton Roads areas!

Do I get to pick my performer?
Princesses do not pick favorites ;).
We do not guarantee certain performers, but we do guarantee beautiful, talented, and professional performers who are casted as the roles that fit them like a glass slipper (pun intended)! To keep things consistent, all of our costumes for any given character are made to look very similar, if not the exact same as one another. They are also professionally commissioned to meet our high quality standards. Pictures showing examples of what our characters look like can be found throughout this website (models pictured have all been some of our entertainers!), particularly on the "Characters" pages.

Can I tip the entertainer?
The best gift you can give for free is a 5* Review!
But! You are more than welcome to give your performer/s a gratuity for the work they do at your party. Our entertainers spend a great deal of time studying the stories, recreating the makeup, and learning the ins and outs of their specific characters, as well as rehearsing songs for their performances. Though tips are never expected, they are greatly appreciated! (Please be sure to put your gratuity in an envelope, "thank you" card, or walk the performer out so you can gift the money away from children! We don't want to spoil the magic ;)

What Do I Need On The Day Of The Party?
Usually, nothing*!
Your entertainer will call the cell phone number provided a couple minutes before the arrival time to confirm that they are near. This will give you time to gather the party guests and birthday child in a location where you would like the activities to take place. Your entertainer will take it from there! The last 10 minutes of the party is left open for picture taking. (You may also take as any pictures as you’d like during the party! *Please have a table and chair ready for the entertainer if your party includes face painting, glitter tattoos, craft, or balloon twisting!

Can my party be outdoors?
Where else would the princesses talk to animals? ;)
Our entertainers gladly participate in outdoor events, weather permitting. The characters will need a dry area free of mud and loose dirt. Due to the nature and quality of the costumes, we will not be able to do an outdoor party or event if the temperature is 90 degrees or above, or if there is rainy/inclement weather. Please have a backup location prepared.
