There is only one Wendi so we do recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. A good rule of thumb is to start your entertainment search 2-3 months out to ensure greatest availability. If Wendi isn’t available don’t despair! She has personally trained and certified the other members of our Power Up Entertainment Professionals Core Collective who fully encompass our unique Transformation Entertainment for Kids. Again, you can rest assured that regardless of who you book with, all our packages come with the same 100% happiness guarantee.

We offer our Entertainment Packages as premium service. We realize they might not work for all event budgets. We have carefully set our prices at a rate that will allow for a livable wage for our Bay Area Artists and allow our artists to continue ongoing training in their artistic modality. We recommend thinking about the whole event budget and where there might be opportunities to think creatively. Ex) Maybe you don’t *need* those elaborate decorations. They last a day but the memories from an event where the kids had a blast, felt super special, and were connected to their friends last a lifetime.

If despite following all our tips for success, you haven’t felt the entertainment spread delight and joy to your guests, we will refund the full cost of your entertainment package. 100% guaranteed! We take happiness very seriously.

Balloon Art can be really beautiful to look at. But you know what isn’t fun? The sound of Balloons Popping during your event. Also cleaning up broken balloons after your event. Also hearing children cry when their balloon pops. That doesn’t sound fun at all. This is why we offer our Power Face-Painting or Glitter Tattoos instead of Balloon Art.

Power Painting is full, transformational face-paint designs. Instead of basic cheek art, your child and their friends will have the opportunity to fully become any number of different characters, creatures and conceptual ideas. This full fantasy style face-painting ignites imagination and encourages powerfully fun play. Check out some examples here. We think of our Face-Painting as the final step to fully transforming your child into the Fierce Feline, Powerful Princess or Dynamic Dragon you know them to be.

We’ve never had any reports of skin reactions from our face-painting (even from little ones with sensitive skin.) It’s true there are cheaper face-paints out there that less informed companies use when painting and these can cause allergic reactions. However we only use FDA approved non-comedogenic professional grade Face-Paint Make-Up.

For our Baby Rave Packages parent’s must be in the room due to the special needs of the Very Young (1-2/3) However, if a child is 3+ your adult guests are welcome to go live it up by the drinks with the other parents 🙂

Absolutely! We’re professionals after all. We carry $1 million performers liability insurance through Peep Insurance. We are able to add additional institutions onto our policy for specific events upon request at no additional charge. You should always make sure any event professional you use is able to provide your event with insurance coverage.

We sure can. This is a particularly great option if you are expecting a lot of guests for a combined birthday party or looking for kids entertainment for a company or organizational event. Plus duo character appearances are always a big hit (Think Elsa/Anna and Wonder Woman/Spiderman, etc). If you are looking to augment our existing packages with another character, simply note this in your Booking Request.

Our shows are super active so we recommend serving food either before or after our shows. We’ll go over all this during our Power Up Party Planning Call.

Ooooh…Yes please! While. *most* of our packages work very well within these types of events, we do also have different offerings for Stage Shows. These work great in schools, libraries, and traditional theatre settings.

The biggest thing to be aware of when planning large-scale celebrations is that the shows need their own dedicated performance area. We do provide our own sound amplification. If you would also like your event to include our Power Face-Painting, in the past we’ve usually been able to work out special packages where we’ll bring in additional artists to accommodate more kids in a quicker amount of time.

Absolutely! Our performers have worked extensively in professional children’s theatre, dance companies, and as k-12 educators. These experiences have given them a lot of insight on how to engage with many different types of children at their social comfort level. We also use strong consent-based language wherever possible to give your child complete autonomy in deciding if they want to hug, be a part of the magic show, take a picture, etc.

We understand. We’re unicorns too.
