Pick the visit that fits your party
All include up to 15 children, $10 for each additional child. Travel not included in base pricing. Keepsake portraits, what every party includes, and common questions →
Your choice of 15-60 minutes · Up to 15 children included in pricing
- ★ Active games — classic childhood games with a themed twist, because enjoying something they already love invites children to feel confident and connected
- ★ All their favorite songs, woven into conversation and throughout the games — and sung together face-to-face
- ★ Photo ops at the end, because by then they are hugging a friend, not smiling on cue
- ★ Silver is simply this: friendship with their hero, while their favorite movie comes to life before their eyes
90 minutes · Up to 15 children included in pricing
- ★ Every child goes home with a printed 4x6 portrait. A party favor that's meaningful and personal.
- ★ Portraits are taken near the end of the party, after we become friends. Taking a picture together is a playful experience on its own!
- ★ Portrait equipment requires no outlet and has a small footprint with no cords for kids to trip on — it works well literally anywhere!
- ★ A soft-focus background — so your party space will photograph well, whether it is decorated or not
- ★ Edited digitals follow within two weeks, included in the package price
- ★ Everything in Silver
120 minutes · Up to 15 children included in pricing
- ★ Your choice: makeovers, or decorating a frame for the portrait
- ★ Makeovers include no-mess iridescent biodegradable glitter roots, face gems, and rainbow clip-in tinsel — fancy and one of a kind.
- ★ A high quality metal beaded best-friends bracelet, because a tangible, wearable token of their new friendship is a gift that will keep the memories close
- ★ Marked with the character initial, so they can look down and remember whose friend they are
- ★ Thirty more minutes together, and everything in Silver and Gold

What families say about Anna
Overall rating
Our daughter’s birthday was absolutely magical from start to finish! Princess Anna managed to captivate 10 four year olds and even their older brothers from the moment she walked through the door. Her charm, singing, and thoughtful activities had the whole party feeling like a princess. We cannot recommend Parties with Characters enough!! I can’t wait to see who she’ll come back as for a 5 year old birthday party!
K Kimberley T. on Facebook We had a live video chat with Anna from Frozen. Our 2 girls (3 and 5) couldn’t have been more excited! Anna was incredibly gracious with her time, energy, and personalized interaction! They sang songs, played a game, and heard stories all the way from Arendelle. We can’t wait to use their services again! Anna made some dreams come true!
C Cheryl W. on Facebook We had the absolute best experience having Rumi join us for my daughter’s 5th birthday party over the summer! She was wonderful from start to finish and did such an amazing job bringing the character to life. My daughter and her friends were so excited to see Rumi! She was engaging, sweet, energetic, and did a fantastic job keeping the kids entertained. She made the birthday feel extra special and created memories that my daughter will never forget. The attention to detail and commitment to the character were incredible! We would highly recommend booking Jeff for any birthday party or special event. She truly made my daughter’s 5th birthday magical!
M Megan K. on Google My daughter was SO HAPPY to see Elsa she cannot stop talking about her. Gave her such a good experience with her favorite Disney character
K Katelyn L. on Facebook Is it possible to give more than 5 stars?! Jessica is absolutely amazing at what she does- from her prompt customer service to the full character experience. Princess Anna attended my daughters birthday party at our home, and it was incredible. She walked through the front door in song, surrounded by people she’d never met before, and walked right over to my daughter and a group of her friends. With kids from 1.5-7 years old, she kept all engaged and having fun with smiles bigger than ever and magic in their eyes like I’ve never seen before. We even adult family members that attended our party who are serious Disney world diehards and they were not only in awe, but they couldn’t say enough about how tremendous Anna was! This is a birthday our daughter will never forget. Anna was worthy every penny &more! I highly, highly recommend choosing Parties with Character for your next event!
M Meghan E. on Facebook Jessica is truly magic! After seeing her for the first time at Elk Grove library as Elsa we were hooked and decided to invite both Elsa and Anna to our daughter’s 4th birthday party. She was so patient with the children and remained in character the entire time, even when the children got a little wild (as they tend to do). She is sweet, warm, and brings a playfulness that inspires the child to believe in the fairytale she brings. We love to follow her social and try to catch her at more events. Thank you for everything, Jessica!
E Emily L. on Google Rumi was absolutely amazing. A lot of kids were in attendance of my daughter’s 8th birthday and Rumi did an awesome job of being fully engaged with all the kids. They all felt seen and enjoyed everything from the cool photos that Rumi instantly printed, to the games she played with them. Don’t even get me started on the singing. It was a concert of little ones singing their favorite songs. Thnx Rumi. Would highly recommend.
D David A. on Google She made more daughters birthday the best day of her life, she never once broke character. She event tended to my special needs nephew 10/10
D Daekwon M. on Google We were blessed to receive a call from Anna today! Grace truly enjoyed the chat and Anna was fantastic! They sang together and grace even took Anna to see her bunkbed. 😆 I highly recommend this business as they made my little girl's wish come true.
B Brittney P. on Google Updating my review. Princess Anna came to my daughter’s 5th birthday party. She really made my daughter and her friends feel special. She remembered all of their names - 11 kids! Playing games and doing makeovers with a princess is something I’m sure they will never forget and Jessica is the nicest person you will ever meet. My 4 year old had a video call with Rapunzel and had so much fun! Watching them play charades, freeze dance and hearing my daughter giggle was the best feeling ever. Thank you for that magical experience!
J Jennifer A. on Google Jessica was amazing! We had Rumi come to my daughter’s birthday party, and she not only dressed the part perfectly but was fully in character the whole time - in the conversations she had with the kids, and with singing their favorite K-pop demon hunter songs! The kids were singing along and dancing, and she even taught them some simple dance moves to do together. She added such a positive energy to the party and was so adaptable in working with the kids and helping with the party. As my first time working with her, I was glad to see she was communicative, timely, and just so easy to work with. Highly recommend!
L LM on Google We have used Parties with Character for the past 2 years for our daughter's 4th and 5th birthday parties. It is truly a magical experience that captures the true happiness of a child. Jessica portrays the characters with such enthusiasm and passion. We can't wait for our next party!
