What Families Say About Mirabel
"They're wonderful! Met Maribel from Encanto at Polka Dot Bakery! Had a amazing experience. Our kiddos loved it. Our daughter's 3rd birthday party is coming up and hoping to have you come make an appearance there too! Highly recommend! ☺️"
Mirabel was amazing! Great energy and very engaging with the kids. We really enjoyed our experience with her!!
Mirabel came to play with my daughter for her birthday. She did amazing! My daughter loved it so much!!!
Jessica created a Mirabel character from the movie Encanto for my daughter’s 5th birthday and the experience was 5 stars from start to finish! She had clearly watched the movie a million times to stay perfectly in character and answer the kids’ questions. She entertained them with games and makeovers and took photos with each and every child that she printed out and signed for the perfect party favor. Every single parent at the party told me during or after what an amazing job she did!
Seriously amazing. Went to a party with Maribel from Encanto. And I think I enjoyed it more than my son!! Absolutely amazing. The attention to details the game played during the story it was all so perfectly detailed. And the attention to each kiddo with the vast age range was wonderful. Children of all ages (adults included) were enjoying the story time.

Overall rating
Hands down Jessica is one of the best character performers I have encountered. As frequent Disney visitors, dare I say better than some that we've encountered at the park. I was impressed with her ability to keep our kids entertained for a full 90 min in what is sure to be a core memory for our family. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to stay in character throughout the visit was extraordinary. The compliments for Jessica we received from family and friends were plenty and we even had parents at the party mention that they forgot their kids were there for a second, haha. She made my daughter, the birthday girl, feel so special and loved while still giving all the other children attention as well. My daughter definitely now thinks her and Elsa are best friends. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone for your party/event. This was truly one of the most magical birthday parties we've had. Thanks, Jessica!!
C Courtney C. on Google My daughter had a fantastic time at a tea party with Elsa. Elsa took time to make every child feel special and have their own time with her. She signed my daughter’s frozen book and it has become a beloved book my daughters get out almost every day to read.
J Josh W. on Google My girls (5 &3) and I have absolutely loved getting to join Jessica for so much fun at two Vernon Area Public Library events - once as Elsa and most recently as Jesse. Jessica is all about group fun while also making sure every kid is seen & heard & made to feel valued. Cannot emphasize how special these visits have been for us. Look forward to more Jessica time in the future!
A Aley H. on Google We did the sapphire package, a one-on-one experience with Elsa for my daughter’s 6th birthday. It was truly magical, everything I had hoped for and more! Jessica is incredibly talented and amazing with kids. Highly recommend!
A Annie R. on Google Parties with Character was an amazing experience!! She played Elsa at my daughter’s birthday party and we were all enchanted with her voice, her charisma, and her professionalism. She handled the kids with such kindness and they all had so much fun!! She was especially kind and understanding to my daughter who is more reserved and takes a little time to warm up!! Amazing service!!
M Mariana L. on Google I cannot even begin to describe what a magical experience we had. We did the 1:1 session with Princess Belle for our daughter’s 4th birthday and it blew me away! Belle was perfection - she never broke character, sang, played games, did a craft, made our daughter fancy and above all made her feel so special. Seeing our daughter’s shocked and ecstatic face had me in tears and it was truly the perfect encounter. Our daughter can get shy around new people and Belle made her feel so safe and treasured. As a mom - I couldn’t ask for anything more. Highly recommend!
M Marcy F. on Google I believe it was my daughters 5th birthday party, so 4 years ago we had "Ariel" show up to her birthday. It was such a great time my daughter still talks about her birthday and having ariel there. She talks about the treasure hunt, ariel playing on the playground with her and all of her friends! "Ariel" gave my daughter the shell necklace that held ariel's voice and my daughter had treasured that so much. Unfortunately, an accident happen where it had broke. My daughter was devestated, so i reached out to see if we could somehow get another one made, and jessica was sweet enough to make another necklace and write a note from ariel to her. My daughter was so excited to find that ariel had delivered her an extra special gift and her necklace was made whole again. She was so excited with giggles and smiles and immediately put it on. I also still get compliments to that birthday party from the parents that were there. She does an amazing job and also cares so much about the kids she brings joy to! Thank you so much for all you do to bring the magic and helping to make memories that will last a lifetime!
E Elisabeth N. on Google I have seen Jessica at two 5 year old birthday parties portraying Elsa at one and Ariel at my granddaughters birthday. Jessica is incredible! She is so good with the kids. She holds their attention (both girls and boys), plays games with them, makes them feel special while including all the kids in the activities. She focuses squarely on the kids and is patient and kind. I don’t give out 5 stars very often but she deserves every one. I highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed!!
D David F. on Google Princess Aurora came to my daughter’s 5th birthday party and it was such a magical time! The process from booking to the end of the party was easy and seamless. This is not just someone who poses for pics - her ability to story tell and sing and engage with kids is truly one of a kind and worth every penny! I was especially impressed with her ability to handle many different personalities of the 4 and 5 year olds at the party - from super shy to high energy, even redirecting a girl who had difficulty following the rules of the game with such ease. All of the party guests left feeling pampered and loved on by her. My daughter will be talking about this party for a long long time!
M Marcy O. on Google Hire her immediately! If you are at all on the fence, wondering if it’s worth the money, if the experience will feel special, if this is one thing you need to have at your party or event, the answer is YES. It is!! Jessica was wonderful from beginning to end. She reached out to confirm all of our party details and crafted the perfect experience for our “library” birthday party. We wanted a special “mystery reader” to end my daughter’s 6th birthday, and who better to read in her library than the book-loving Princess, Belle? Before the party she was communicative & caring, ensuring she was planning the unique StoryTime we wished for, thinking about everything, even marking the payment in an envelope addressed to “Belle” so she was able to stay in character from doorbell to goodbye. Upon arrival she was enthusiastic, joyful & completely *the* character! The little girls at the party were enthralled in everything she said, sang, read and did. Her StoryTime was interactive & had even the older girls interested and into it. I cannot say enough good things about her and the entire experience. The other moms that were at the party were also raving about it, even days afterwards. I want to host another event just so I can have Parties With Character there. It really made the entire party simply amazing!
M Mandy W. on Google Awesome visit at the bolingbrook event ! We are soo interested in booking for a birthday party 🥹💕
M Mayra V. on Google I cannot say enough good things about Parties with Character. My daughter was so excited to have Ariel visit her 5th birthday party after seeing Jessica as Elsa at another event. Booking her was a breeze; she reached out quickly and got everything sorted. She was easy to work with and at the party, she made everything feel magical. The kids had so much fun with her. They played games and did a treasure hunt and she did a great job involving everyone and keeping them engaged while still making my daughter feel extra special. I’m so glad we chose her and we will definitely book again for future character appearances.
