Joanne M., 7/21/2026

We hired Arial to come to our 5 year old granddaughter birthday party. All communication was professional and very precise. All went beautifully. Arial entertained the children and did a great job. We would use them again

LINDA, 2/5/2026

This was our second year hiring Creative Parties for Kids, and once again they absolutely exceeded our expectations. For my son's 4th birthday, we hired three characters: Spider-Man, Superman, and Supergirl. And they were incredible.

All of the superheroes were so engaging with the kids and never broke character, which made the experience truly magical. Every child (and honestly, the parents too!) was completely entertained and impressed.

The flow was perfect, the energy was high, and the superheroes truly took the party to the next level.

If you're looking to elevate your child's birthday party and create an unforgettable experience, I can't recommend Creative Parties for Kids enough. We'll definitely be booking again!

Marilina B., 5/5/2026

My daughter's 3-year-old birthday was coming up, and she had a very specific wish -- she absolutely loves Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy. It has been her favorite movie since she was 2 years old. I searched everywhere but couldn't find any party company offering these characters the way I imagined.
Lisa's team was willing to create custom costumes for Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy just for my daughter's party! I was beyond excited -- truly over the moon.

TThe kids were completely engaged, happy, and entertained the entire time. It truly felt magical.

I will absolutely continue working with Lisa and her team in the future. Thank you for making my daughter's 3rd birthday so special and unforgettable!
