Once Upon a Dream Performances

This is an amazing local business. These princesses are even better than the ones at Disney because not only do they look the part, but they sing! No cheap costumes or bad wigs here. The Royal Tea room is a beautiful event space, right down to the linens, floral china and gold chivalri chairs. It’s a beautiful space for adult events even, and the packages for princess birthday parties will make any child’s dreams come true. The attention to detail is outstanding. We are very much looking forward to the Monday princess story hour and the princess lessons held in June. There are so few day camp type options for children under 5 and the princess lessons start at age 3 and come with professional photography. So glad we have this here in our area. More...

We attended the soft opening to The Royal Tea Room. Queen Elsa and Princess Anna served tea and sweets to the children, danced with the children, and performed two songs from Frozen. It was a magical afternoon and so much fun, I highly recommend! More...

I booked Once Upon a Dream Performances for my daughters 7th birthday Party. Sydney and the rest of the staff were amazing to work with. we were in constant communication especially day of. The Princesses made our day magical. Moana, Belle and tinkerbell were fantastic. We had a musical performance, dance lessons, glitter tattoos, twisted balloons and more. Several children reached out and told me this was the BEST party they have ever been to. The princesses were extremely talented and engaging and oh so fun. my daughter won't stop talking about them! I'll post a picture in the comments. Thank you Once Upon a Dream for making my daughter the happiest little girl. Thank you for the smiles and laughter and love. More...

I don’t even know where to begin. Seeing our 3 year old daughter so happy brought me to tears today. I didn’t know what to expect and they just blew me away. Everyone was beyond impressed with the pure talent and pose the Snow Sisters had. The songs, conversations, and party tricks were perfection. I can’t say enough about this company! More...

We hired the Mermaid Princess to come to our home for my daughter’s third birthday. She absolutely loved it! The Princess did a great job of keeping the kids engaged for the entire tine she was here with songs, dancing, stories, games and Princess lessons. My daughter still plays the games the Mermaid Princess taught her. We are big fans of Once Upon a Dream Performances and have attended many events around town. This was especially nice because she was the focus of the princess, and she loved the close interaction she was able to get with her. We would definitely hire Once Upon a Dream Performances for future parties and would recommend them to anyone else who has a princess lover in their family. More...

Katie and her team are wonderful! Highly recommend for a truly engaging experience for your event. The Village of Rockton has used them at the Rockton Christmas Walk as well as the 4th of July Rockton River Market. They were a great vendor for the summer as well. Definitely became a family favorite. More...

I work as one of the performers for Once Upon A Dream, and I will say it has been one of the most positive experiences I could have hoped for. A Disney child at heart, there is nothing better than performing as some of my favorite childhood princesses and making a child's day. You can see the happiness this company creates, it truly is a magical experience all around! Additionally, it works as a wonderful college job (even though I'd do this for free!) and the performance opportunities are endless (a GREAT bonus as a Musical Theatre major). Nothing but 5 stars for this company. More...

I reached out to Once Upon a Dream Performances to help with us as we send our Make A Wish child to Disney World. The snow queen arrived and right away our little girl saw her and smiled from ear to ear. She sang to them and showed them some fairy dust. The girls were so happy and our little wish girl said "This is the best day ever!" Thank you so much for making that day the best day ever! More...

We had princesses join us for our daughters 4th birthday party and they were definitely the highlight! They were in character from the moment they got out of the car until they left. I don't think we will ever be able to top this birthday! I would highly recommend them to anyone to make their event memorable! Katie was incredibly easy and flexible to work with regarding reservations, payment, etc. More...

As someone who grew up loving all things Disney, especially the princesses, I was beyond excited when Katie approached me and asked me to audition to be a princess for her company. Ever since she cast me as the mermaid princess, each experience I have had working for Katie has been truly magical. The feeling that I get when a child sees me dressed up as the mermaid princess is one that is truly difficult to express in words because it is so amazing. To have the opportunity to be able to make their day and hopefully a memory that lasts a lifetime is something I can never thank Katie enough for. She is a wonderful person to work for! She is always making sure we are comfortable, have everything we need, and makes sure we take breaks (being a princess is hard work!). Katie is so dedicated to making sure each child we spend time with knows how special they are. Her mannerisms and care that she takes with children are truly inspirational. So thank you, Katie, for being an amazing person and for starting this magical company that I am so grateful to be a part of! More...

Thank you Once Upon A Dream for another great birthday! This year I made a reservation and totally had a "mom brain fart"! I reserved for my birthday in August and my daughters birthday is in February...� haha Not to worry though - Katie went above and beyond when we caught my mix in scheduling (which was the DAY OF the party)! I can't say how much I appreciate all her hard work and kindness. Normally I would spend all day worrying about the mix-up but after Katie created a better solution for me, I was able to go about the day and focus on the party. Moana was fantastic. She could have walked right out of the movie. Beautiful voice & so patient with more than enough kids to ask her 5 billion questions. More...

A while back I was invited to participate as an actor with Once Upon a Dream Performances and the level of professionalism was incredible. The overall experience was "entertaining," "Heart Warming," and brought joy to so many children's days. I would highly recommend this group to any family. Music, dancing, food, and the entire atmosphere felt like walking into Disneyland. It's too bad I'm too old to have as much fun as the kids participating.

As for the working conditions of the performers, we were treated very well. I've worked as a theater actor for almost 8 years and this was hands down the best environment for getting into reenacting and child entertainment. I felt encouraged and positive during the course of the event.

The work Ethic of Katie is shown in the elaborate feel and emotion of the event. She has a passion for this business and a passion for the smiling faces participating. She's got something very special here. More...

I am a very organized and picky planner. I hired Katie and her team for face painting at a Circus Themed Children's B-day Party. Katie was excellent in communicating and forward thinking.
