Yes!! Often we find adults have as much fun (if not more sometimes) than the kids at our events. Who doesn’t want to channel their inner unicorn?!? As party entertainment specialists we have a few suggestions of what to keep in mind during your party planning search so you can rock out with your kids on the big day. You’re reading this = already winning!

We recommend booking Entertainment at least 6-8 weeks before event date. Even if you haven’t yet secured your location — knowing you have the entertainment you really want can give you quite a bit of peace of mind. 

A full-time experienced entertainment professional to be at your event. This gives you the peace of mind to enjoy the party as well knowing we’ve got the kids safely engaged! 

At Power Up Parties, we let you know exactly who will be at your party and give you an artist bio. With larger companies you often don’t know exactly who is coming out and that can be quite a gamble to take with such an important day. Be sure you know exactly who is coming to your event, what their experience level is, and if they have been background checked (we perform checks on all our artists.) The advantage of a boutique company like ourselves is you know exactly who will be interacting with your kids and you’ll have the opportunity to talk with them before the event. That leaves you worry-free to simply soak in the magic and make memories.

Our reviews are great! Take a look on Yelp, Google, and Gig Salad. Also, about 1/2 our clients come in as personal word-of-mouth referrals which we take as the highest compliment of all:-)

Of course! You’ve come to the right place. As party entertainment specialists (we really love partying!) we have a few suggestions of what to keep in mind during your party planning search so you can rock out on the big day. You’ve already started researching by reading this = already winning!

To avoid disappointment, advance planning is key. We recommend booking Entertainment at least 6-8 weeks before event date. Even if you haven’t yet secured your location — knowing you have the entertainment you really want can give you quite a bit of peace of mind. Often clients scheduling later have to instead settle for what’s still available closer to the party date.

Consistent quality of entertainment. There are many options for kids entertainment. Think through the different prices and what feeling comfortable and at ease during the actual party may be worth to you? There are some wonderful part-time entertainers just getting started available at larger “full-service” companies. However, there are also some pretty disappointing options there as well. 

With larger companies you often don’t know exactly who is coming out for your event and for some clients, that can be quite a gamble to take with such an important day. Be sure you know exactly who is coming out to your event and exactly what their experience level is. The advantage of a boutique company like ourselves is you know exactly who will be interacting with your kids and you’ll have the opportunity to talk with them before the event.

While mixed reviews can be fine (and maybe even good) for some area’s such as plays or books, where opinions can be so subjective — generally with live events you want to feel secure knowing the kids will be entertained, the parents will be able to enjoy themselves, and you’ll be able to relax and look like the joy purveyor that you are!
