This is our second time inviting a prince from wishing well, and it is still amazing! We hired Melody as Elsa for our daughter's 4 year old birthday, she was absolutely wonderful! She sang all the song with her amazing voice and lead all the kids into the magical story. She did face paint for all the kids and she is good with keeping the focus on the birthday girl! I'm very impressed by her professional performance! Thanks Melody and wishing well for fulfilling her dream! More...

We have used Wishing Well Entertainment for a princess (Frozen) and pirate (Captain Savvy!!!) for my children's birthday parties and they are truly phenomenal. They make the party!! You truly can sit back and watch magic come to life as they entertain the children. It's remarkable how on point they are with their character personality and never for a moment go out of character. They are a dream come true for a kid, you won't be disappointed if you hire this company. They are incredible and have top notch professional actors!! I highly, highly recommend!! More...

For my 2nd baby girl's 1st birthday, on Saturday, April 13, her party was fairy themed.  We contacted Wishing Well Entertainment because the other company that we did business before stated that we are too far out of their range. We had Miss Scarlet as our Rainbow Fairy and she came right on time.  She was ready to entertain our little ones and the one worry I had was that the boys would not be entertained by Miss Scarlet, because "fairies are for girls" (yes, that old stereotype! lol)But after Miss Scarlet got things going, both girls and boys were enjoying her storytelling and face painting and she leads the Happy Birthday song to our 1-year-old!Very professional and courteous, would recommend Miss Scarlet and Wishing Well Entertainment!

Thank you wishing well entertainment for your professionalism and amazing communication. The unicorn fairy princess was a huge hit at my daughters 5th birthday party. She was on time and came in looking so gorgeous with a huge smile ready to entertain all the kids. Brenna was an awesome unicorn fairy my daughter couldn't stop talking about her. We can't wait to hire your company for our next party. More...

We had Ariel for our daughter's 3rd birthday today. She was sooooooo great with all the little ones!  She did bubbles, player games, and did magic tricks. My daughter was in heaven!  Wishing Well was easy to work with there was no guessing at all.

I was looking for a little something different for my daughter's birthday party, which centered around a dragon theme.  I happened to find Wishing Well through a Google search and was amazed at their offerings.  Kalinda was very helpful in getting me cued up with a medieval knight, and she also relayed to him that the Netflix show "The Dragon Prince" was the inspiration for our party theme.  Kalinda hooked us up with Dustin, who happens to be a fan of the show, and he put on a fabulous performance for my daughter and her friends...leading them in games, swordfighting lessons and more!  All of the parents at the party were asking me where I found Dustin, and were amazed at his ability to stay in character AND entertain the kids for a full hour!  Best of all, the service was very reasonably priced for what you get.  We were overjoyed at the results, and our daughter and her friends got an experience they won't soon forget.

I can't recommend Kalinda and Wishing Well Entertainment enough. They made my twins birthday a truly special day. Speaking for the kids, my family and all guests.  Our Rapunzel was amazing and my daughter talked about Rapunzel until the moment she fell asleep. So many guests made a point to reach out to me during the party and tell me how amazing Rapunzel ( Danielle ) was. All of the guests had high praise for her and a few guests asked if we had hired her from Disneyland. I could go on but to say that Wishing  Well Entertainment made our day a truly magical day is an understatement. There are so many character companies but if you want the best use this company. Our Rapunzel was so great with all the kids and Kalinda is super professional with every detail. More...

Blown away by Wishing Well Entertainment! We just had my son's 5th birthday with Dustin the Ninja. Major shout out to Dustin. He was AMAZING!!! He had parents and kids alike laughing the whole time. He stayed in character from start to finish and made the birthday boy feel extra special. The kids had a blast and the parents asked for his info. Everyone is still talking about it days after! We couldn't believe how Dustin kept up his energy the entire time! He had the kids running around playing games, teaching them the ways of a ninja, and making the birthday song super funny and entertaining during the cake. THANK YOU Wishing Well for making the birthday the best ever! Kalinda was super responsive and helpful along the way. More...

Brenna, was amazing. My 5 year old daughter describes her better than I ever could. She said "Daddy, Ariel is even nicer in person. .. I love her." From the minute she walked in, the kids were immediately drawn to her. she did face painting, played, read, sang, and took pictures with everyone. She smiled the entire 2 hours she was here. She never broke character, or complained about the cold weather. Thank you Wishing Well and Brenna. You made my daughters day very special, she will never forget it. More...

Excellent experience with the "Beauty Princess"!  We had to move the party inside due to weather, so there were 10 toddlers in our tiny little living room with this princess with a massive dress. But I have to say she rocked it. Always in character, funny, on point with adult friendly retorts to some of the inane kid questions. There were options for what she could do while she was there. And it seemed that everyone loved her! Several parents wanted to know what company to use because it was the best princess act they had seen. Very timely to show up, and stayed up to the very last minute that she could. Most importantly, she kept everybody involved but made sure my birthday girl got plenty of attention even though she was more quiet and less talkative than some of her guests. Would absolutely absolutely absolutely recommend for any kids party. We had kids from 18 months to five and all of them hung out for pretty much the majority of the show. One hour can be a lot for some of the 2 to 3-year-olds and I think that was the biggest group that stayed to watch the entire time. More...

I can only speak for one experience, but that experience has guaranteed I will hire them forever for anything. Heck, I may have Spider-Man come to MY party! Spider-Man had stories. Hero pose lessons. A treasure hunt. He kept these kids going for literally hours. What's more, he was a consummate improv artist, finding a way to validate and include everyone, from the kid with answers to everything to the child too scared to move. He didn't just play the character, he was sensitive, kind and filled with humor. It would be easy to do a job like this and just give the bare minimum. This guy deserves a medal for coming out in the rain and providing pure magic for everyone. My daughter was so smitten, she tried to give him her share of the piñata candy. More...

Rapunzel (Danielle) was amazing! She is was a great performer and was in character through out. The kids adored her. She sang and read stories, did face painting, coloring and played games with them.

Where do I start?!  We had Danielle arrive as Elsa for my daughter's 3rd birthday and she was first class from start to finish.  When she walked in and gave my daughter a hug and started off with an amazing rendition of the Frozen story, that alone was worth every penny.  She sang all of the Frozen hits with the party goers, danced, did fun magic that was very age appropriate, colored with stickers and even helped cut the cake!  She couldn't have possibly made my daughters birthday any better!! She posed for pictures, was warm, in character the entire time and quick with answers that pertained to her story as 'Queen Elsa'.  All of the parents and guests were blown away by her ability to stay in character, keep the kids of all ages engaged and make my daughter and her friends day the most magical memory ever.  I am beyond pleased and would highly recommend Danielle and Wishing Well Entertainment to anyone!!

I can't say enough about Wishing Well Entertainment. This company makes my daughter's birthday party a winner every time. Kalinda and her team always comes through with fun, quality performances and interactions . The performers swoop in, take over with the kids and create non-stop fun, allowing the hostess time to mingle with the guests and finally relax. The kids are engaged the entire time with games, face-painting, you name it. They will tailor an agenda just for you. The kids are playing and laughing the entire time with the performer at the helm. The performers are the "real thing" not like those cheap imitations you see on Hollywood Blvd or with other companies. Kalinda has often worked above and beyond to find me last minute performers. The Santa we booked for my company party was to die for. My residents were so thrilled. It made their holiday so special. BOOK NOW! You will not be disappointed. This service is worth every cent!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. Working with Wishing Well was a delight from start to finish, from the initial emails with Kalinda to the actual showtime with Anna & Elsa for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. The rates are very reasonable for such an authentic & high quality presentation. Anna & Elsa were in character right out of their "carriage" and made the rest of the night so magical. Parents were blown away too and asked "where did you find them?". For an hour they captivated the kids telling stories, singing songs (and, man, can they SING) and helping with the cake ceremony. The only drawback was that my daughter was sad that they had to go back to Arendelle. Thank you Wishing Well for such a memorable night! More...

Wishing Well Entertainment put together an awesome 30 min telegram for my wife's 50th small dinner celebration in March. I planned to do a telegram with short notice and Kalinda was all over it and had Lucy ready for what I needed and for when I needed The communication was superb and getting all of this together was of ease for me. I just needed to provide some background on my wife and Lucy did the rest. Lucy interacted with everyone - young and old - at the dinner.
