Picture the day
This is how her party runs.
Four princesses host it from the first bubble to the last cup of tea. Here is the whole thing, in order, so you know exactly what you are booking.
1It starts
She swims through the rainbow.
The doors open and she does not walk in, she swims through: through the rainbow tunnel and out into a sea of bubbles, with the whole room going at once. Her princesses are waiting on the other side, and they greet the birthday girl first, by name, before leading every child through into the party room.
2Then
Together, they wish the wardrobe open.
Hidden in the forest is a wardrobe that only opens when the children wish it open. It does, and the gowns are inside: rails of them, and tails too if she would rather be a mermaid. Every child chooses her own look for the day. Nobody is handed a costume.
3Beneath the jellyfish
Three at a time, one princess each.
Three children at a time are taken into the salon and seated under the glowing jellyfish canopy, and this is the part that surprises mothers most: every makeover is done by a princess. Not an attendant in a uniform. Your daughter sits one to one with a real princess who braids and pins and talks to her the entire time. Mermaid braids, princess buns or fairy styles, whichever she asks for.
4Meanwhile
Nobody is ever waiting.
While the salon is running, another princess has the rest of the room: magical crafts they take home as keepsakes, games, and enough going on that no child is ever sitting on the sidelines waiting for a turn. That is the difference four hosts make. There is never a flat corner in the room.
5When everyone is transformed
Storytime, with surprises in it.
Once every child has been transformed, everyone gathers for an interactive story. It is not a princess reading at children. They are inside it, with parts to play and things that happen that nobody sees coming.
6The moment
She is crowned, in front of the whole royal court.
Then the birthday girl is officially crowned a real princess, in front of every one of her friends, with a crystal tiara she keeps. The room goes quiet for it. This is the part that brings the whole party together, and it is the part mothers tell us afterwards they were not ready for.
Mums, this is the one to have a tissue for.
7And finally
A tea party luncheon, served to them.
Everyone sits down for the celebration tea. Our staff pour the tea and serve the pizza and the snacks to the children, so no adult is up and down from the table. You are in the parents lounge or at the table with a drink somebody else brought you, watching your daughter have the day.
You are not entertaining. You are not coordinating. You are watching.
✦ Every Once Upon an Island party runs this way. What changes between packages is who hosts it and what she is transformed into. ✧
Real parties, real magic
Photographs from real celebrations.
✧ Real parties, real magic ✧
Real parties, real magic
Watch the magic.
Two more films from real Ultimate Princess Tea Parties, and a look at the cast who host them.
You do not lift a finger
Your job is to watch the magic.
This is the package parents choose when the guest list is big or when the birthday matters more than usual. Four hosts means the room never has a flat corner, and it means you are never the adult who has to step in and fill a gap.
Professional entertainment
Behind every character is a professional team.
Our characters are on our staff. They host parties at our Newport Beach venue every week, their costumes and wigs are prepared by our own wardrobe and styling team, and they are trained to entertain rather than pose. That is what keeps a room of children engaged for two hours, and it is what lets you sit down.
Is this the one?
Who this party is perfect for.
- A milestone birthday
- Larger guest lists where one host would be stretched
- A child who cannot choose just one princess
- Groups up to 18 to 20 children

Before you book
Questions we are asked most.
Is food included?
Yes, and properly. Every party includes a catered tea party luncheon: cheese pizza, Pirate’s Booty popcorn, tropical fruit snacks and our signature pink sparkling tea, all served to the children by our staff. We love pizza because kids actually eat it. All of our food is catered, and if you would like to switch the menu, just ask. We do not include cake or dessert, but our team will cut and serve yours during the celebration.
Which princesses can I choose?
Any four from our roster. You choose when you book.
How is this different from the Princess Tea Party?
The Princess Tea Party has one princess host plus mermaids. The Ultimate has four princess hosts, which changes how much attention each child gets.
How many children are included?
From 5 children on the first tier up to 14 included on the extended tier, with room for 18 to 20 guests.
How long is it?
1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the tier.
Are makeovers included?
Yes, the full salon experience for every guest.
Where is it held?
At our private Balboa Island venue in Newport Beach.
