With the upcoming December 11th movie release of Disney's Princess & the Frog, The Cinderella Company is happy to announce that we have added Princess Tiana to our extensive cast of characters. With the dress already in production, we will be all set to go in just a few weeks. Please let us know if you would like to book Tiana for your movie premiere.

A Faerie's Dance

A very dear client of ours dropped some images off of her grandaughter's Tink party a couple of weeks back. The day was absolutely magical as both Tinkerbell and Rosetta entertained the small pixies.

Rosetta brought her violin and played enchanting Celtic music for the crowd.

Tinkerbell also joined in on the fun.

Nicole Does it Again!!!

Our performer Nicole, seems to be on a roll lately. Here is a review from a party that she did this weekend.

"We hired a classic princess from The Cinderella Company to entertain 10 kids at our daughter's party, and she was a huge hit! We were all enchanted by her violin playing and singing. My daughter is 3. We've had many conversations about Princess Aurora's musical ability as well as speculations about where she lives and what she does during the day. My daughter and all of her friends believe that a real princess came to visit. Nicole took great care to make sure the kids didn't see her before her grand entrance, and worked out in detail how we would manage logistics so that she could stay in character the entire time. We appreciate the care she took and her ability to adapt to the situation. Our kids liked the music better than the face painting so Nicole switched from the face painting into music easily and made the party enjoyable for all of us. Thank you!

We've Been Yelped!

We just love it when our clients take the time to "Yelp" us. This is a very glowing review of our company and one of our performer's Lacey. Way to go, Lacey!

"My daughter is a huge Ariel fan. She has to wear a t-shirt with Ariel on it or the clothing has to have an Ariel feel to it. She tells people that she is going to Mermaid College to be a mermaid when she grows up. So I felt it was only fitting to have Ariel show up for her birthday party.

I spoke to several friends who had Disney Princesses at their their daughter's birthday parties. I looked online too and The Cinderella Company based on friend's recommendations, their professional website, and customer service was the one I selected. The costumes and performer's pictures showed as the characters, and I felt that their Ariel looked more like the real Ariel. After calling the Cinderella Company, the customer service and questions they asked about my daughter, I knew that I had made the right choice.

I was a bit scared that my daughter would pass out or clam up when she met her hero, but the staff reassured me. I also received a call from our performer, Lacey, and I felt better and grew more excited for my daughter to see Ariel.

Ariel did an AMAZING job. She was ontime, she called before she showed up so I could get the kids ready for her arrival. She was great with the kids--totally patient and kind. She also answered all of theose difficult questions perfectly--even when she was being mobbed by all of the kids. My daughter also got a tiara and certificate proclaiming her a princess on her special day. When asked what was her favorite part of your birthday, she says ARIEL!

I would highly recommend The Cinderella Company. Many guests were also very impressed with them and asked for their contact information. Parents emailed me telling me how much their little princesses enjoyed meeting Ariel. They were impressed with the grace and calm of Ariel and how much Ariel (Lacey) looked like Ariel. We had just been to Disneyland and had a bad expierence when we met Ariel, but The Cinderella Company's Ariel (Lacey) is better than Disneyland's by leaps and bounds! If your child loves Ariel, Lacey and The Cinderella Company is the Ariel you want!!"

Tinker Bell

We so love it when our clients take the time to share their party experiences with us. This is a recent review that came in about our performer Nicole as Tinker Bell.

"My daughter really wanted Tinkerbell to come to her birthday party, and that is exactly what she got! I really enjoyed how flexible Nicole was with the needs of the children. She adapted her planned activities to fit what the kids wanted at the time. She really helped make our daughter's party an experience that she and the rest of the guests will always remember."

"We had so many comments throughout the party from our guests asking questions about Tinker Bell. Everyone thought she was great, and was surprised by the quality of her appearance. We were told by a guest that we "set the bar for birthday parties" and we know that has a lot to do with the help of Nicole. Thank you so much!"

Snow White's Re-release

Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs is coming out of the Disney Vault. This animated video will get the Special Edition DVD & Blue Ray treatment as it is re-released this October. The stores are already carrying their Limited Edition Snow White costume which is priced at $149.00. I saw this costume yesterday while shopping and it is pretty darn nice. They are also carrying other Snow White products such as snow globes, activity play sets, figurines and more. This is all for a limited time only.

Harry Potter is Here!

As we get ready to launch some new Halloween characters this season, here are some pictures of our performer Jocelyn as Hermoine for a Just Imagine party last month.

Which house will I be placed in?

Quidditch anyone?

Wonderfully Wicked!

Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? This is the main question in the musical, Wicked. As Jennifer and I get ready to launch our new Glinda character next month, we went to see the musical yesterday. The San Francisco production is playing at the Orpehum theatre at Market and 8th Street. The show is fabulous and is a definite must see. Kendra Kassenbaum and Teal Wicks are amazing as the leads of Galinda and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. The musical has been adapted to the stage fromGregory Magquire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. It tells the untold story of the witches of Oz: How one came to be known as good and the other wicked. It also provides some interesting insight into the characters of the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and of course the ruby slippers! We loved everything about this show and cannot wait to take our families back to see.

Absolutely Alice

Thank you all who share your photos and experiences with us. This came in late last night from one of our clients about our performer Brittany.

"Brittany was wonderful as Alice for my daughter's 4th birthday party. She was very professional and on time. The kids had a wonderful time with her and I was able to enjoy watching the kids having a great time at the party. I look forward to working with Brittany and The Cinderella Company again. I loved that she brought a wonderful "magic" to the party. My daughter was so excited that Alice had come to have tea with her. Worth every penny!


Parachute play is always a hit

Not just for girls!

Way to Go Maaika!!!

Jennifer and I just love hearing feedback about our performers. As of late, the characters of Belle and Snow White have been quite popular and our performer Maaika, has been earning some pretty high marks with our clients. These are two of her reviews from this past weekend's parties.

"The girls had such a great time! My friend had made a slideshow of the party for me, and I can see that all of the the girls were in awe of Snow White. Maaika did a great job in keeping the girls interested the whole time!"

"The Belle presence made our party very special and Ms. Maaika did a wonderful job with the children! All of the kids, and of course we adults, enjoyed the show--especially the face painting and storytime. My daughter also loved taking photos with her!
