“Rapunzel visited our daughter yesterday and we had a blast! highly recommend Once Upon a Time Parties.” ~ Radek K.

“Clara had such a wonderful time and couldn’t believe she got to meet the ‘really real Rapunzel’ and loved playing games with her.  She won’t take her crown off either from Rapunzel herself.  You made her day.” – Eliza P.

“My daughter’s 6th birthday was truly special because we had the snow queen come to entertain the party guests. I was amazed how true to character, patient and professional they were. I would definitely hire them again in the future.” – Cathy C.

“We had an amazing party, in large part due to your company. The princess were great and took care of all the hosting. I was able to (for the first time in several birthday parties) actually sit back and enjoy one of my kids parties because I didn’t have to play host.” – Jessy K.

If you’re wondering if you should use this company, I’m telling you that you 💯 should. Alexa is very... professional, from the initial booking process to answering my questions and to showing up at my home alongside the princess. Ariel was a huge hit and so realistic to my daughter, her voice was beautiful (I didn’t even know she would be singing, we were pleasantly surprised), and her characteristics to Ariel were perfect. My daughter keeps watching the videos we took today and saying how pretty she was. It was the best birthday and we will absolutely be hiring a princess again in the future!!read more

We had such a great time at the Winter Ball last weekend! What really impressed me the most is that some of the... princesses knew sign and took the time to communicate with Madilyn so that definitely made my day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! ❤️read more

I can't say enough how pleased we were with this experience! The Mermaid Princess was simply wonderful. She managed a... gaggle of very excited 4-year-old girls perfectly and in character from the time she arrived until the time she left. The activities flowed seamlessly and the girls loved singing and dancing with her. And when cake-minded tummies distracted them and us as hostesses, the princess made an easy exit (I was sorry it seemed rushed for her!). The whole experience was definitely a highlight of the party <3 Thank you!!read more

Anna and Else were amazing and in character the... whole time and the activities went so smooth and ran well.all of the girls are still talking about the party and playing hide and seek with Anna and Elsa. I would totally recommend Once Upon A Time Parties DC and if my daughter wants another princess party next year I will be booking them again!
