The Mushroom Princess for Birthday Parties in Orange County

$225 one hour, at your home or venue

Book This Character

Additional time is available and prorated at the same hourly rate.

Meet her

Meet The Mushroom Princess.

For the child whose birthday theme came from a game controller rather than a film. She is cheerful, game and completely at home leading a party of children who would rather be racing.

She is our answer for a gaming-themed birthday that still wants a real princess.

Parents usually search for her as Princess Peach.

Roughly an hour of led entertainment

What she’ll do at your party.

She arrives knowing exactly what happens next, so you never have to gather the children, fill a silence or work out what comes after the cake. We entertain. You enjoy the party.

Grand entrance

Her arrival is the moment. The birthday child is greeted first, and by name.

Interactive storytime

A story the children are inside of rather than listening to, with parts to play.

Music and sing-along

The songs they already know by heart, led by someone who sings them properly.

Glitter makeovers

Glitter makeup and face gems. Temporary tattoos on request, for the boys or for any child who would rather.

Games and activities

Character-led games woven through the hour, so there is never a flat stretch.

Photos with everyone

The birthday child, the family and every guest who wants one.

Cake and candles

She leads the birthday moment, so the candles are lit inside the story rather than beside it.

The Once Upon an Island difference

The magic starts before she arrives.

The pink ball gown, gloves and crown are maintained by our wardrobe department between bookings. Every character we send is prepared by the same wardrobe and wig team behind our immersive Newport Beach venue, where our cast performs every week.

You are not booking an individual performer. You are booking an established children’s entertainment company with a professional team behind every appearance.

Make the hour bigger

Add-ons for this visit.

Crystal Tiara Crowning Ceremony $20

A real crystal tiara, presented in a royal crowning ceremony. It is the photograph most parents end up framing.

Character Plush Experience $15 per child

A build-and-stuff experience where every child creates their own themed plush friend, with help from their character.

Mini Tea Party $125

For up to 12 children. She brings miniature porcelain tea cups and sets a proper little tea party, picnic-style or at a table. Beverages are provided by the family; pink lemonade works beautifully.

The Traveling Salon Inquire for pricing

Our illuminated salon setup travels with your character for complete children’s makeovers alongside the visit.
