Real Rapunzel Parties
We met Rapunzel at a friends birthday party and she was so fun! … It was nice for us parents to be able to chat with each other at the party too instead of entertaining the kids!
Three ways to invite her
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

We met Rapunzel at a friends birthday party and she was so fun! the Kids enjoyed playing with her the entire time! It was nice for us parents to be able to chat with each other at the party too instead of entertaining the kids!
K KC R. on Google My daughter was so excited to meet Rapunzel. All the kids had so much fun playing games and coloring with her! The best experience we could have asked for! She will be talked about for a very long time!!!
K Kandi S. 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 AMAZING is an understatement on how good she was! To engaging with every single kid to making every little girls dream come true! Rapunzel was beautiful and looked just like the character! From the time she walked in till the time she left she played the part well! She has a great singing voice also! 100% would recommended!
B Brittany M. on Google Jessica was amazing to work with! We had a painting party and she was the highlight of the party as Rapunzel! She came in, barefooted just like Rapunzel, and was so true to character! As she mingled with the kids painting she sang amazing bits of songs from the movie. Other parents could not believe her performance and had never seen anything like it! Prior to the party she worked on customizing her performance to fit out social distancing goals and it worked out flawlessly. She spent lots of 1:1 time with my daughter and had stories about how her hair grew back and why Pascal was not with her, which my daughter told over and over after the party! She was truly magical and definitely made my daughter’s party so special. She really approached each party attendee on a level they could relate to, from the two year old that was there to the nine year old, and even the boys loved her! I would definitely recommend her for an unforgettable event!
S Sarah E. 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 Rapunzel made my daughter's birthday party so special! She is absolutely fantastic with the kids! Would definitely recommend! She made everything so easy!
K Kandi S. on Google Parents, grandparents or teachers. Are you looking for virtual events for your children. I recommend Library Princess + Hero Series. My girls had the opportunity to listen to the story narrated by Rapunzel where she played her guitar and sang. Your child can have a chance to Win the parties with character Diamond Package video call. In which they have the opportunity to speak face to face with the character to play games an sing. It is a great event. I recommend it to you all.
M Maria F. 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!
