Questions
How far in advance should I book entertainment?
We recommend booking two weeks ahead, though we accommodate last-minute requests when available. Early booking ensures character availability and optimal planning.
What equipment do you require?
We supply all entertainment equipment. Clients need only provide a table and two chairs for face painting activities at outdoor venues.

Our entertainers adapt activities for age ranges 2-12. We modify games, magic complexity, and face painting designs to suit developmental stages within mixed-age groups.
Do you perform in adverse weather?
We require shelter from rain, wind, or extreme sun. For outdoor bookings, ensure access to covered areas for entertainment activities during inclement weather.
Can additional children join last-minute?
Packages accommodate up to 15 children. For groups exceeding 20, we recommend adding a second entertainer to maintain quality interaction and safety standards.

Fairy Freckles was fantastic, face painting, a magic show and dancing games were perfect for my 5 year olds party in the park. Carly did the hardwork so the parents could relax. And the kids absolutely loved it.

Fairy Freckles came to our party and the kids were more than entertained with her magic show and games. Her face painting was also a big hit. Definitely worth it and we will be booking her again next year.

Carly and her team were a wonderful addition to our Best&Less Baby/Kids launch event in Feb 2020. The guests LOVED them, with the face painting and balloon animals a real hit! They did a wonderful job engaging with the kids, even getting the more sky children involved. Would highly recommend, great responsive and professional communication :)

We had Fairy Freckles (Mermaid) for our daughter's fifth birthday. She was great, from the start had the kids dancing and entertained them in different ways all through the two hours. Even managed to get them all together at the end to sit down and calm down while getting balloon puppets. Did face painting, dancing, games. She was great, happily recommend her for your kids' parties.
