How to Choose the Right Princess Party Entertainer
Planning a princess party for your child can be an exciting experience, but it can also be quite overwhelming. One of the most important aspects of any princess party is the children's entertainer. But how do you choose the right one? In this post, we'll share some tips on how to select the perfect children's entertainer for your child's princess party.
Look for experience and expertise
When searching for a children's entertainer for a princess party, it's important to choose an experienced company. Many companies that offer many types of children’s entertainment outsource their princess party performers and so there is little guarantee of the quality of performer you’ll receive. Look for entertainers who have experience in performing at princess parties specifically. This will ensure that they know how to engage children, keep them entertained, and provide a magical experience that your child will never forget.Check their reviews and testimonials
Before hiring a children's entertainer for your child's princess party, be sure to read their reviews and testimonials from previous clients. Look for reviews that mention the entertainer's professionalism, punctuality, and ability to engage children. This will give you a good idea of what to expect from the entertainer, and whether or not they are a good fit for your child's party.Look for a company that accepts online payments and charges taxes
This may seem a little bit silly but a company that accepts online payments and charges tax can be an indication that this company is more trustworthy. A company in Ontario, for example, is required to charge HST if they declare at least $30,000 per year of income on their taxes. If a company is not charging HST this can mean that they do not do enough business and are not experienced enough to meet this $30,000 per year threshold. If the company is not charging HST and is also not offering online payments, this could indicate that this company is operating under the table by being a cash-only business. While this doesn’t automatically mean that they are doing anything untoward, it can mean that integrity is not one of their values. If this is the case, they may see no issue in cancelling your party last minute and leaving you scrambling or, even worse, leaving your little one disappointed on their birthday!Check for high quality wigs and costumes
One of the most important aspects of a princess party is the costume. A cheap, messy or poorly styled wig, an ill-fitting costume or one that is old or cheaply made can tarnish the entire experience. While kids may not mind, a good princess party should transport even the grown-ups into a magical world of princesses and castles. Everyone at the party should feel like a REAL princess has arrived at the party. When researching a company, always ask them to ensure that the costumes and wigs on the website will be the one the performer is wearing on the day of the party.Look for both professional and client-generated photos
While it is important that a company have clean and professional photos available, it is also a good idea to check the company’s website and Instagram for photos of their performers in-action at live events. It is too easy for a company to invest in high-quality photos of models that do not actually work for the company. A good children's entertainer will have mix of professional photos and photos submitted by clients. You may also wish to check their google reviews for photos submitted by real clients.Inquire about their activities and games
Children's entertainers for princess parties should be able to offer a range of fun activities and games for the children. Ask the entertainer what activities they offer, and whether or not they tailor them to the age group of the children attending the party. Make sure the activities are age-appropriate and that they will keep the children entertained and engaged throughout the party.Consider their personality and demeanor
Lastly, it's important to choose a children's entertainer who has a friendly and engaging personality, and who is able to connect with children on their level. A good entertainment company should have videos available, showcasing how their performers are able to create a fun and magical atmosphere, while also ensuring that the children feel comfortable and safe.
In conclusion, choosing the right children's entertainer for a princess party can make all the difference in creating a magical and memorable experience for your child. By looking for experience, checking reviews and testimonials, inquiring about costumes and props, considering activities and games, and assessing personality and demeanor, you can find the perfect children's entertainer for your child's princess party. Don’t forget to have fun!
