Adventure PartiesHere are a few comments from our customers.

If you've recently hired a Fire Pixie entertainer, please rate our service!

I could not be more pleased with the service you provided. My daughter is still talking about the fact that Cinderella came to her birthday party. All the kids had a great time and several of the other parents mentioned that is seemed Cinderella had been plucked from Disneyland and transported to our house for the day. Nikki's Cinderella personality was perfect and she developed a good rapport with the kids. I was really impressed. Scheduling was a breeze and I appreciated the confirmation and reconfirmation in advance of the party. I will certainly be using your services again.as will some of the other parents who were present at the party. Thank you for helping to make my daughters 4th birthday party absolutely perfect.

Patrice was fabulous! This was one of our best birthday parties ever. All the parents were asking me how I found Patrice. Everything was timed perfectly and I could not have asked for a better entertainer. thank you so much and I will be back when we are ready for our next Princess Party. My daughter is already talking about "when Ariel comes to my next birthday party....." Please pass along my thanks to Patrice. Grade: A+

Oh my gosh! My daughter Kendall is still in Belle heaven! Erin was SO great! Everyone loved her and thought she was wonderful! I have thrown six birthday parties now (I know that doesn't seem like many) and this by far was the most fun. I will definitely be calling you all for every party I throw. Kendall wants another party next week :) Thank you again! To see Kendall so happy, it makes my heart smile!

Until the next party,

So we are cleaning up right now but had to write you that Alex is a god in our eyes. I can't believe how good he was with the kids - he had their attention the whole time. I was so worried we would have alot of down time but not at all - they were so into him. Josh said it was the best birthday he has ever had or been to! So tell Alex we are not worthy of him - he really made Josh's birthday one he and all his friends will remember forever!

Cabrina was excellent as Explorer Girl! She kept the children' attention and got them all involved in the games and magic show. She made extra efforts to single out Hannah as the birthday girl, really making it a special day for her. Hannah kept asking Explorer Girl if she wanted pizza and cake! Cabrina also made sure that the children were occupied for the transition when it was time for Explorer Girl to leave. What a great experience!

Our daughter Galilea's 3rd Birthday was a huge success and beyond our expectations! We have a big family and had more than 70 kids and cannot possibly say enough fantastic things about the six princesses; "Little Mermaid" (Erin), "Cinderella" (Catherine), "Belle" (Patrice), "Snow White" (Stephanie), "Jasmine" (Sarah) and "Sleeping Beauty" (Katherine) that came to entertain all the overly exited kids (and adults)! The six princesses were on-time, very beautiful and played their part with excellence. Upon their arrival they greeted my daughter and then our guest and immediately proceeded to sing happy birthday followed by a 15 minute magic show. After enchanting both the adults and kids they all broke up into separate groups and did amazing face painting, awesome balloons, tattoos and crafts. They were worked so fast that even the grown-ups were able to have their face painted. You guys are well worth it and are so happy I found Fire Pixie! I received so many complements from family that traveled as far as Fresno, Reno and Los Angeles and all local guests were memorized. Thank you for making our daughters 3rd birthday a memorable event! You princesses are awesome and look forward having you guys again in the near future!

I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about our Cinderella, Erin, this weekend. My six-year-old daughter was enchanted! The party was even more than we had hoped for. The parents who stayed for the party repeatedly commented what a wonderful Cinderella we had. I was in complete agreement! A still more important review was that of my daughters. Meredith was delighted! She felt incredibly special, the source of extra magic and the wielder of a special wand. My younger child, who is almost three, said, "I want Cinderella to come home." I suspect that means to live with us permanently :) Erin was versatile - from magic to stories to songs to tea party manners to face painting to balloons. She was quite skilled in her management of the various personalities & ages at the party, and of the time flow. She was smooth, fast with her paint and balloons, but never made anyone feel rushed. I could not believe the artistry of her face painting, which is far more than I am used to seeing. Her pleasure in taking on the challenge of my husband`s face paint design and balloon requests (a salmon in each case) was a delight to us all. I could not have been more pleased. Truly. It was a magical afternoon, which Meredith will never forget. Nor will her friends!

I’m writing to tell you that last night, out of the blue, my 4-year-old daughter said, “Mom. I really, really liked the Dora that came to my birthday party. Thank you for inviting her to come. I miss her.”

“Explorer Girl” made a wonderful impression on her, considering that our event was over two months ago. Thanks again for providing such quality entertainment and making it easy for me to accommodate seventeen 3- and 4-year-old children at my daughter’s birthday celebration.

We had Pirate Katherine at my daughter’s 6th Birthday party yesterday (Sat.) and we just wanted to let you all know that she was absolutely awesome! She totally helped run the party and kept the kids busy having fun and being entertained. All the other parents were saying she was better than any princess they had ever seen. (we have had 2 princess parties in the past) Anyway just wanted to pass this along and say thanks so much for making the day a success!

I just wanted you and your staff to know that Alex did a tremendous job yesterday at Ryan and Dylan's birthday party. We e-mailed back and forth last week with some great game ideas he had and he came prepared with having the schedule of activities memorized and followed my requests perfectly. He made it a point to have Ryan and Dylan feel special at their party. He handled the few rambunctious kids, that honestly, I was not aware of since they are new classmates of my sons. On a whim he told a story which settled them down (thankfully!) and their eyes and ears were glued. Please let him know what a great job he did!

We were BEYOND thrilled with Patrice as the little mermaid - she went BEYOND all expectation. Her face painting was amazing, her demeanor fabulous and her balloons wonderful - very professional and so much fun. We LOVED her! Thank you so much, we will recommend her so highly to everyone we know!!!

I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful success today's event was. Melanie was sweet and wonderful and we just loved her. The day was fun for all. Thanks again, Lesley.

Princess Stephanie made Nina feel incredibly special and wildly happy while remaining sensitive to her shy nature, all the while keeping seven of her aged 3-6 friends delighted and giggling with face and hand painting, balloon twisting, and magic. It was just the right speed for the age group--the perfect pitch of energy and engagement during which all (adults included) were entertained without being exhausted or over-stimulated at the end. Booking and planning was a cinch, start to finish. Both Erin and Stephanie confirmed before the event, putting this frazzled party-planning parent at ease, and free to talk to other parents during the party, all of whom wondered where the fabulous and enchanting Stehpanie came from, and how they might aquire her for their child's next event. I don't know how parents throw parties without you. I know it's possible (I've done it), but it's a lot harder, more stressful, and not nearly as much fun. Well, well done.

Katherine has a wonderful manner with the children. She's enthusiastic but not "over the top." Her gentle voice and happy attitude made all of the children feel comfortable and excited about the party. Other parents at the party also raved about Katherine. The birthday girl loved the story telling and all the kids enjoyed the balloon twisting. We were extremely satisfied with the entertainer!

Sarah arrived on time and once the cake cutting was completed, she took over the job of gathering the kids. She kept them engaged with her tricks and activities for 2 hours. All kids, girls AND boys, enjoyed her show and balloons. Many kids later told me they really like "Explorer Girl". Many grown-ups were impressed that Fire Pixie also does other shows, like fire shows etc. I am really glad I hired an entertainer from Fire Pixie!

Thank you so much for making my son's 5th birthday party such a great event. Krista (the pirate) arrived right on time. She was courteous and discussed with me what activities I wanted her to do. Because all kids were in the pool, she offered to play her magic by the pool side. Although some of my son's guests are kids with special needs, all of them were very attracted by Krista's magic show. When I booked Fire Pixie, I was anticipating 15 kids and setting up to do 1-2 activities. However, two families who RSVP'd didn't make it and we actually had only 9 kids in the party. Krista was flexible enough to start four activities one shortly after another, which made our little guests very excited. Thank you for making my son's birthday so special! I look forward to working with you guys in the future.

I have never ever seen birthday party entertainment as great as this! Cinderella came on time and did such a wonderful job from the magic show down to balloon twisting. The kids had so much fun and the adults were kept just as entertained. The parents at the party were very impressed! My daughter was so happy that Cinderella came to her party. It was a very magical moment for her...we could see it in her eyes and her smile. After the show, Cinderella took pictures with her and gave her a big hug and a kiss. She couldn't stop talking about it. Thank you Fire Pixie for making my daughter's 3rd birthday party such a memorable one!

I just wanted to let you know that Erin's show was really worth every penny we spent. She came as Ariel and did beautiful face painting to begin - then she wanted to start a play with my 5 year old daughter as the star. My daughter, the birthday girl, didn't want to participate so Erin immediately changed gears and offered to do balloon animals instead. My daughter was thrilled. My brother-in-law, who is extremely artisitic, was impressed with how detailed her balloon animals were... We had another person be "Arora" for us in July and there was NO comparison. I will definitely be hiring Erin again for our next princess party. Thanks for making my daughter's Ariel party so special!!

Patrice was very friendly and kind to the kids. I was so busy playing hostess that I was't able to help her very much, but she didn't seem to mind. She was completely independent and self sufficient and I really appreciated it. The kids loved her and the parents were thrilled to enjoy the party while their kids were occupied and entertained. I will highly recommend your company and Patrice in particular. Thank You Patrice!!!!

Dear Rachel,
Thank you so much for being a part of our company's 30th anniversary celebration last week. You are the best face painter I have ever met, and I have met many. Your beautiful artistry and creativeness was just off the charts.. and how do you do it so FAST?! The kids loved you, the parents loved you, and I was ecstatic that our long line waiting for registration had you to keep them entertained, happy, and busy.

Just want you to know we were extremely happy with Katherine. She was fabulous! Everyone raved about her. She brought such a wonderful energy to the party. She exceeded my expectations greatly! We couldn't be happier. Thank you! :)

Miriam

The party was a huge success, primarily because "Cinderella" had everything "magically" and fantastically arranged so that the kids were completetly enterained the entire party, including the adults. My granddaughter felt like a real princess, and had a smile the entire day! Cinderella was absolutely beautiful, and the kids just loved her stories, the magic show, dancing and games, the special balloons - everything was perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better birthday celebration. From scheduling, to the pre-party confirmation, and the actual event - everything was professional, extremely organized and well done!

I highly recommend Fire Pixie to anyone planning a party. Erin was just fantastic! Thank you so much for making my granddaughter's 5th birthday a wonderful and memorable event. Erin, you are a true Princess!

Just wanted to give a big thank you, Patrice (Tinkerbell) was awesome to say the least!  My daughter and the other children were delighted, Patrice had their full attention throughout the show.  The next day at school it was the topic of discussion as the kids played.  The parents had a great time as well, we laughed as we considered Tinkerbell for our birthday party.  I will definitely recommend my friends and family to Fire Pixie. 

Please give a huge thank you to Patrice on making my daughters birthday party so great!!

I just wanted to let you know that Krista was so good with the kids on Saturday. She was on time, was so patient and performed all the magic and the rest of her program so well. Some of the kids wanted their face painted and Krista was accommodating enough to do that for them. One of the parents said that her son is afraid of magic shows, but this is the first one he sat through. The balloons and the games were a hit too. We all liked her. Thanks for making Natasha's party a success.

I just wanted to pass along that Stephanie was absolutely delightful! She was early, animated, kept the children enthralled and the parents entertained and we just couldn't have been happier!! Thank you for really making our party special.


Claire

Thank you! The kids really enjoyed Jessica as "Explorer Girl". She had a great voice and the face painting was fantastic! She was very nice and patient with the kids. We only did the 1 hour show but I think the kids would have loved another hour of activities. I don't think I would've changed anything. Thanks again! We will definitely be using you for future birthday parties!
Have a great day!

We had Erin as the little mermaid. She look and acted the part and the kids LOVED it!! She was AWESOME!!!! Everyone commented on how great she was from organization to keeping the energy up and flowing. It is worth it to pay the extra to get the best! Her balloon work was unbelievable. I used to entertain kids professionally and she really WOW-ED me! We've been to other parties w/ characters and nothing else has compared!

Erin was such a beautiful Woodland Fairy. She was terrific with the kids and parents as well. She was patient, fun, lively and her costume was perfect. Erin was great with the kids’ names and made my daughter, the birthday girl, and all of her friends happy. I am extremely glad that we went with Fire Pixie. I plan to have Erin come out again next year. The party was so easy. I didn’t have to worry about keeping the kids entertained and Erin even had a lighter for the candles!

Thank you. I am a very satisfied customer!

I wanted to thank Firepixie for the fun everyone had at Max's third birthday party. All the kids (all 30 of them!!) had a wonderful time, and are still talking about the magic tricks, the magic fishing game, and the Thomas whistles. Rosie was awesome, and lots of Moms have come up to me to compliment me on the festivities. Many, many thanks.

I just wanted to personally say that Jessica was GREAT!!!!!! The children loved her and she was really patient with us. We intend to have her back in the future and we recommended you all to a lot of our friends, they were really pleased with her performance. Thank you again for all of your help Erin, you guys were wonderful even with my crazy schedule you were very patient with me and not a lot of places do that. My husband and I really thank you.

Because I was running behind schedule, I was actually in the shower when Tinkerbell arrived. When I went out to the backyard, Tinkerbell was already there facepainting. Guests informed me that Tinkerbell arrived & after meeting the birthday girl, Tinkerbell took charge & started the show. Guests stated positively, "Tinkerbell was on time & didn't mess around when she got here!" Patrice was a really pretty Tinkerbell & totally fit the character (look and petite frame). She was very good with the children & didn't "overact" the part. She even made sure to include older kids (early teens) and they actually participated! My daughter felt very special and told us "this was my best birthday! Tinkerbell was so pretty and fun."

I was initially hesitant about hiring an entertainer. Your website was actually encouraging (being able to see pictures of the characters & reading feedback from prior clients). I would hire one of your "princesses" again...and a few other mom guests said they would as well after seeing Tinkerbell's show. It was money worth spent after seeing our daughter smile from ear-to-ear and the excitement from her little friends.

Erin & Stephanie, aside from having great voices, excellent face painting, story telling and baloon twisting skills and a fabulous costume assortment, made the party sooo easy for me! They are really, really professional. The girls were smitten and Erin & Stephanie genuinely had fun with the girls. They are tops on my list of recommendations for any party. Thanks to you both!

I wanted to say thanks and tell you how wonderful I thought Janna was. She really did a fantastic job. Everyone raved about what a great face painter she was and the kids were thrilled. I was particularly impressed by her ability to make up a story incorporating all the characters. Since my daughter is constantly having me make up stories to tell her in the car I know how hard it is to make the up on the spur of the moment and I can use any characters I chose. Sara (my daughter) couldn't stop talking about the magic trick with the coloring book. Thanks again to you and to Janna for helping make the day fun and special.

Stephanie was wonderful, magical and fun. She was so thoughtful and considerate. She was a good commicator with me and wowed the kids!  I was very impressed and my daughter was in awe of her. All the kids had a ball. I thought she was the greatest!  She even called me the night before to check in with me (I did not pick up her message until after the party- my fault- but I thought it was very thorough of her.) I would highly recommend her and your company. Please pass this onto her. We all thought she was a true princess!!!!!!!

We hired Erin for my daughter’s 4th birthday party and she was fantastic!  We had 17 children whose ages ranged from 3 – 5 coming to the party and I was a little nervous about keeping them all entertained indoors.  From the minute Erin arrived as Cinderella, she captured all of their attention.  Not only was she believable, her activities and timing with this age group were perfect!  She started out with magic, which was very entertaining for both the boys and girls – my daughter still talks about how Tinkerbell flew around in our living room.  She then told the story of Cinderella – again keeping them on the edge of their seats with a really dramatic account of her evening at the ball.  They did a little dancing before the cake was cut and then she twisted balloons.  (We were all impressed she could tie almost ANYTHING while talking with the kids).
 
Since Erin was so great at keeping the party moving and the children interested, my husband and I were also able to enjoy the party and focus on the birthday girl.  It was a great and very memorable party!  I know my daughter felt very special.  I would highly recommend Erin!

The attitude that Krista and Stephanie brought to our event was the best I have ever experienced. I have used other companies in the past, and they have been O.K. I have had several guests of our event ask for your number and the girls names. I have gladly given all of the information requested.

Explorer Girl was the best! Jessica was absolutely adorable, wonderful and a pleasure to work with. She paid attention to the kids, not us, even when the adults were behaving "badly" by talking during her show. The kids were so excited to see one of their favorite characters. They kept saying, "we love your show," and I thought that was adorable. I liked your extensive choice of characters. I don't think you need to improve anything! Keep the characters young and it works great. (Overheard a horror story of another party, another company, with a 60 year old chain-smoking Cinderella - yikes!)

My husband and I were highly satisfied with Strawberry Shortcake! My daughter, Angie (the birthday girl), 'til this day does not stop talking about Strawberry Shortcake. Thanks a lot Susannah, you made Angie's Birthday a success! All the kids kept telling Angie that was the best birthday party they have ever been to! Thanks a lot, we will definitely keep using your services for both my kids' birthday parties.

I just wanted to tell you that my husband, Oscar, and I were very happy with your performance at Anna's party.  I felt we had our money's worth within 15 minutes of the show!   So many parents told us that the balloons were the best they'd ever seen.  And a HUGE "thank you" for taking the lead in singing "Happy Birthday" -- Anna is still cracking up over the way it sounded!

I just wanted to write you and thank you for being such a wonderful Little Mermaid for Jenna's birthday party. Everyone was VERY happy with you, especially the birthday girl! You kept everyone entertained and happy for over an hour which was fantastic. The children were so happy, it was the best birthday party we've ever had. I would highly recommend you to others and wish you the best of luck in everything you do. Bringing so much joy to children (and keeping them entertained for so long) is a truly special gift...thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Thank you so much for the great party. My kids keep asking me
whether I can get Sleeping Beauty to come back soon. The adults all
enjoyed it, too. I'm happy to pass your name along to another

Dear Erin, a.k.a. "Cinderella" -

Just wanted to thank you again for making our daughter's 4th birthday so very special! You were the HIT of the party! Who knew Cinderella had so many talents? Balloon animals, face painting, magic tricks - our daughter was raving on and on for days.

Please feel free to use us as a reference for your business. You're the best!

Fire Pixie arrives with an eye-opening belt of balloons, all colors of the rainbow. You're first thought is, "Well, at least I won't have to worry about her running out." But when she gets going, you're not so sure: she's fast, lightning fast, and balloons seem to plump the moment she puts them to her lips, a feat that impressed the adults at my party slightly more than the children. But the children had eyes only for what she was doing with the balloons, shaping them into cobras, parrots, octopi, eagles: she backed down from no challenges and the children were delighted.

The age old problem for balloon artists is, of course, how to occupy all the children while one is getting his or her balloon made. Well, she's fascinating to watch, but she's also come up with another answer to this tricky problem. She quickly makes a few balloon swords and challenges the children to sword fight until the balloons pop. Imagine a lawn full of delighted children playing at pirates, a few clustered around her while she deftly twists up fantastical animals and hats.

Have I mentioned the hats? Giant amazing concoctions that seem to have floated out of Dr. Seuss, these towering flights of fancy, involving up to twelve balloons, gloriously crowned my little birthday girl, making her feel that this was truly a special day. My little girl wore hers for days.

All that and she paints faces too! We did manage, with great coaxing, to get our daughter to wash her face paint off. But it wasn't easy. Fire Pixie made the party, and I want her back for next year.

We have used Erin twice. Once for our daughter's 3rd birthday and once again for our other daughters 5th birthday. Erin did a fabulous job for both birthdays! She was able to entertain 35 children dressed up as cinderella and did storytelling, face painting, bubbles and of course, BALLOONS!! She made sure that every child was having fun and that everyone was attended to. It's such a great pleasure to work with Erin because she's friendly, easy going and the children just love her! We truly recommend Erin to anyone who is planning a party. She has alot of fun and unique ideas to make your parties memorable. You can definitely tell that her number one priority is for children to have fun!
