Once Upon a Princess

Snow White from Once Upon a Princess was a smash success at our daughters fifth birthday. The kids were completely riveted (even the boys) and she did an amazing job entertaining the kids for two hours. Her beautiful songs made the event especially lovely-- some of the adults were teary eyed! She is a absolutely wonderful performer. I highly recommend this company (especially as I've seen other princess party performers at other birthday parties and they don't come near to these princesses in performance or costume). This is the second time I've hired their princesses for a party and they are the best. more

Anyone who wants to make their daughter's princess fantasy come true call "Once Upon a Princess"! With so much competition I really didn't know which company to choose for my 3 year old's b'day party but from the time I contacted this company Bridget Shack was professional, efficient in sending me photos and info by email and answered every question to my satisfaction. As they have no website I was a little dubious but as soon as I saw the photos I had no doubt that "Once Upon a Princess" stood a mile apart from its competition - the princesss costumes are beautiful ball gowns and they looked real. "Beauty" really was a beauty and she looked just like her - absolutely AMAZING. She was punctual,gratious, she was calm, she stayed in character throughout, she was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING with all the girls. Bridget had the most amazing voice and sung 2 songs and danced with my daugther and made her feel so very special. All teh little girls adored her and were asking whether she was going back to her castle to meet her Beast! The mothers asked me there and then where I found this company and I didn't want her to leave as she made the best birthday party I could have hoped for. Please use this company YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED - I couldn't have hoped for a more amazing b'day party - thank you so much Bridget for creating some incredible memories. more

Stephanie, Thank you so much for making Aviva's birthday party so special. Having Cinderella at her party made Aviva's day; mine too! You were the perfect Cinderella and kept the magic alive for my daughter. You were absolutely the real Cinderella for her and we were so impressed with your professionalism. You are by far the best party princess that we have ever seen, and with three daughters we have been to quite a few princess parties. Thank you again. Pros: Best Cinderella more

We just celebrated our daughter 6th birthday and had Cinderella and Jasmine attend. Their performance and character was outstanding. Everyone was raving about what a great performance they did. We had about 35 kids and none went unnoticed. They were just phenomenal! From the singing to the dancing with Cinderella and the final crowning, made my little princess feel absolutely special. Thank you Once Upon and Princess, for an unforgettable birthday. Pros: Perfect Princess more

Stephanie, I wanted to let you know that Claire's birthday party was a great success. Much of that success goes to having a Cinderella attend the party. Our daughter REALLY REALLY enjoyed having her it was a big highlight! The Cinderella was perfect - she showed up on time, moved the party along, and really engaged with the kids. We passed your number onto two of the other mothers in attendence who were looking for a party helper. Thanks again! more

Our "Ariel" showed up promptly for the party and kept in character wonderfully throughout the entire event. The party was held at our girls's preschool and it was a ZOO! As crazy as all the children were, "Ariel" never missed a beat. She answered the dozens of curious questions by the 4 year olds as she face painted, sang songs and told stories. My triplet girls were enthralled! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! more

Dear Stephanie, I cannot thank you enough for the spectacular visit from Princess Belle at Alison's party. She was by far the highlight of the party. Your professionalism is outstanding. You are organized, thoughtful, and thoroughly understand the importance and impact a princess has on such a young audience. I will highly recommend you to anyone who asks. Thank you again, Joanne more

Stephanie, I just have to tell you what a WONDERFUL experience that was! You are truly so so gifted at what you do....we( all the parents) just marveled at how PERFECT you were, and how the girls just adored you!! My cheeks STILL hurt from smiling.....Abby was just so happy and excited and talked about it all the way up until bedtime....and had such a hard time GOING to sleep because she was still excited!!! I handed out your pamphlets.....like I said....the parents all adored you! ( I even got a text from a Mom who?s daughter was sick and they couldn?t come...and she had already heard from another Mom how great you were!) Anyway...I am going on and on.....but I really wanted you to know what an extreme pleasure it was having you here, and you really made Abby?s birthday special. And I will definitely be recommending you and your company to all of my friends! Thank you so so much! Laurel Pros: Absolutely the best princess in town! more

Thank you very much for making my daughter's birthday truely magical! Cinderella was absolutely beautiful and delightful: she was so patient and kind with the children and naturally stole the show. Her helper was very professional and tremendously sweet. The entire process from booking to receiving was seemless; it's such a pleasure to work with the Once Upon a Princess team. Thank you for facilitating such a wonderful time for us! more

WOW! They are the REAL-DEAL ! I'm the owner at Burgundy Blue and we do children's birthday parties, I have to say out of all the princesse's I've seen "Once upon A Princess" is TOP-NOTCH. Their staff is super talented, professional, image perfect and ready to encourage the children. I always recommend them to all my customers. Stephanie the owner is such a sweetheart and makes sure the your party is a success! more

We recently attended a fantastic relaunch party at Burgundy Blue where Cinderella was painting children's faces. I know the owners of both and was so pleased to see them working together, Stephanie had accompanied the princess to the party herself. After the little girls dressed up in costumes (they all wanted to be princesses too) Cinderella told them a story and then sang a song. My girls are 3 and 6 and my oldest has been to just enough parties to understand that sometimes grown ups wear costumes too. However, when Cinderella started to sing, my 6 yr old daughter's eyes grew wide and she turned to me and exclaimed "Mommy! It's the REAL Cinderella!" Just when I thought the magic years were almost over for her, one enchanted moment brought it all back. Thank you Burgundy Blue and Once Upon A Princess for keeping childhood dreams alive. Pros: authentic character, exceptional voice Cons: none more

Last Sat, my daughter and I employed Tinker Bell for my Granddaughter?s 4th birthday party. I was pleased to inform the owner that the young lady portraying Tinker Bell was amazing and an asset to the party?s success. She had great patience with each child (the children loved the face painting) and continued to show her patience in getting them settled down for the story telling time. She had an amazing story telling ability that reminded me of the great story tellers in my childhood and, I might add, that even the adults paid close attention to her telling the stories of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Finally, she sang two princess songs which amazed everyone with her beautiful and professional sounding voice. Needless to say, her presence and performance met with everyone?s applause. She then helped organize the children for the Birthday Song and led the singing of it. And, of course, the Tiara crowning of my Granddaughter was the culmination highlight of the party...it brought a tear to my wife?s eye. After Tinker Bell left, many of the adults wanted to know ?Who was she?? and ?Where did you find her?? and I, of course, took all the credit...but I also made sure they knew where to find you. In closing, my wife stated it perfectly, ?It was like we plucked Tinker Bell right out of Disneyland and placed her in our very own backyard?. Tinker Bell?s presence, her patience, her organizational skills, her beautiful voice, and her pleasantness were outstanding and a wonderful addition to Melissa?s Birthday party. What a beautiful voice she has!! I am certainly glad that I met the Princesses .....and was smart enough to call you for Melissa?s birthday. Your representative was professional, kind, and very talented. I will readily refer you and your talented Princesses to everyone I meet, especially those with young children. Stephanie, thank you and Tinker Bell for making our Granddaughter?s birthday a success. more

"Once Upon a Princess" is the key to a magical princess party. They are very thorough, professional, and perfect princesses, covering every detail and staying in TRUE DISNEY CHARACTER AND STYLE the whole time! I have been to many princess parties and none has been as great as those from "Once Upon a Princess. more

I recently used characters from Once Upon A Princess at my daughter's party, and I have to say - I was amazed! I had seen them at several friends' parties before, so I knew that they did a wonderful job, but there's nothing quite like the experience of seeing the reaction on your own daughter's face, and having that magic in your own home! We go to Disneyland all the time, and my daughter is totally into the princesses, so it was a dream come true for her to have Cinderella show up at her house JUST FOR HER to celebrate her birthday! It made her feel so special, and my husband and I couldn't be happier that we found this company to make her party so memorable. And since she's only three, I'm sure we'll be using them for several years to come! I can't wait to do it again next year! more

I want to thank you very much for helping make Renee's birthday a memorable one. She was overjoyed with having the princesses at her birthday. I also want to say you were terrific and were great with the kids. Everyone left that day thoroughly impressed with "the princesses". I made sure my wife expressed our gratitude. more

Our experience with your company was great. Our party was a success thanks to the visit we received from Princess Belle. The face painting and games were perfect. Everyone at the party was especially thrilled when Belle sang a song. Even the adults felt like a princess was at the party! Our daughter still talks about it. We look forward to having another princess visit again. Thanks! more

Thank you for coming to my daughter Amanda?s party on July 14th. We had SO many compliments on the party and especially on Cinderella! People have viewed the photos and asked if we were at Disneyland because Cinderella is ?the real thing?. It was truly a dream come true for my daughter. Watching you dance with her, one friend told me, ?You did the right thing for your daughter?, meaning it was so very worth it to ?splurge? for her party. Thank you for such wonderful memories! more

My daughter Bella just had her 4th birthday and she's CRAZY for the Disney Princesses, especially Belle. My husband found this company through City Search and did his research. The owner of the company was sooo accomodating and friendly and communicated with us the whole way. I have to admit I was wary, (I've been to some pretty BAD character parties), but when Belle showed up at our party, we were ABSOLUTELY blown away! The owner herself showed up and was Belle to the tee - she looked absolutely beautiful, was so great to the girls at the party and most importantly, made a memory for my little girl that she won't soon forget. She read them stories (in my daughter's room no less!) , did a craft, sang some songs (she had a BEAUTIFUL voice) and sang happy birthday to our daughter. It truly was the highlight of the party. All the parents were so impressed. And, my husband and I both work for Disney in the animation industry (as did most of the party guests) so expectations were high - she more than fullfilled them. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone else looking to have a princess party!!! more

When we used Once Upon A Princess for our daughter's birthday party, it was after she had been so delighted on a visit to Disneyland by Cinderella. Imagine how happy she was when Cinderella appeared at her 5 year birthday party. The woman who played Cinderella was PERFECT-- from her appearence to her voice-- my wife and I were just blown away. She read to the children (even the boys liked it!) and held a 'princess school' for the girls while the boys played. Our daughter loved her Cinderella experience, and we'll be using Once Upon a Princess Again. -Michael C. on behalf of Lilly, 5 years old-- Burbank, CA more
