Forty seconds, at a real party
This is what arrives at your door.
Not a costume standing politely in the corner for photographs. A performer who knows how to hold a garden full of children, in a costume built and maintained by our own team.
✦ Over a decade on Balboa Island. Twenty-two characters. One professional team behind every appearance. ✧
One hour · $225 · anywhere in Orange County
We entertain. You enjoy the party.
An Once Upon an Island character appearance is not a photo opportunity that stands politely in the corner. It is roughly an hour of professionally led children’s entertainment. She arrives knowing exactly what happens next, so you never have to fill a silence, gather the children or work out what comes after the cake.
She does not slip in through the kitchen. Her arrival is the moment, and the birthday child is greeted first and by name.
A story the children are inside of rather than listening to, with parts to play and questions to answer.
The songs they already know by heart, led by someone who sings them properly.
Glitter makeup and face gems for the girls. Temporary tattoos are available for boys, or for any child who would rather have one, on request.
Character-led games woven through the hour as time allows, so there is never a flat stretch where the parents have to step in.
Photographs with the birthday child, the family and every guest who wants one.
She leads the birthday moment, so the candles are lit inside the story rather than beside it.
Every appearance is one hour. Additional time is available and prorated at the same hourly rate.

The Once Upon an Island difference
The magic starts before she arrives.
Every Once Upon an Island character is prepared by the same team behind our immersive Newport Beach venue. Professionally maintained costumes, styled and cared-for character wigs, and the finishing details children notice, all handled in house before she ever leaves for your party.
✦ You are not booking an individual performer. You are booking an established children’s entertainment company with a professional team behind every appearance. ✧
Costumes are built, fitted, cleaned and maintained by our own team, not sourced per booking.
Character wigs are professionally styled and maintained between every appearance by our head of wig design.
Our cast performs in our Balboa Island venue every week. Your party is not their first time in character.

Character add-ons.
Every add-on is arranged when you book and led by your character during the visit.
Her character presents a real crystal tiara during a royal crowning ceremony. It is the photograph most parents end up framing.
A build-and-stuff experience where every child creates their own themed plush friend, with their character helping. Each one goes home with a guest.
For up to 12 children. Your character brings miniature porcelain tea cups and sets a proper little tea party, picnic-style or at a table. Turn her character visit into a miniature Princess Tea Party. Beverages are provided by the family; pink lemonade works beautifully.
For families who want the full transformation experience, our illuminated salon setup can travel with your character for complete children’s makeovers alongside the visit.
