Because EVERY child deserves The Magic of a Princess
Award winning princess party entertainment in Norfolk/Cambridgeshire
Absolutely! Our princesses are able to provide entertainment for up to 20 guests based on our package times, and we do recommend for large parties hiring 2 princesses to get the most from the experience!
If your party has more than 20 guests we absolutely can still supply entertainment! However, additional fees will apply to cover the cost of any additional party supplies needed. We would highly recommend 2 princesses for any parties over 20 guests.
Please get in touch to enquire.
The only thing we need is one power source/plug. Occasionally we will require a table/chair if your chosen activity is a craft. Otherwise, your princess will bring everything she needs along with her!
Here at The Magic of a Princess we believe in gender equality, and will happily provide a princess for any child. We have experience in working with children of all backgrounds including SEN and disabilities. If you are looking for super-hero hire or mascots, we can recommend some excellent local companies that we work with, and are happy to do collaborative parties with them also. If you wish to make any specific requests please get in touch.
Yes! We provide a princess themed party favour for each (child) guest included in the package price (Please note party flavours are not included in our Silver package). These can be tiaras, crowns or wands, or a sweet treat! If you would rather not receive the party favours, we suggest booking our Silver package or getting in touch directly to discuss bespoke packages :)
(please note it is not a party bag)
Yes. To keep our business running smoothly, we do require a 25% deposit upon booking. This must be paid within 7 days of enquiry to secure your date, and the remaining balance to be paid upon the day of the party hire, prior to performance.
You may cancel a booking with us at anytime, however-please note that if you cancel within 24 hours of booking, your booking deposit will be fully refundable. For bookings cancelled after 24 hours (of a deposit being paid), deposits are non-refundable, and should you cancel within 14 days of the party date, the full fee will be required.
If our princess has to cancel due to unforeseen sickness or other circumstances, your deposit will be fully refunded. We aim to honour all appearances where we can, but life sometimes makes this unavoidable.
We always aim to arrive at your location within 5-10 minutes before your package start time, however, please allow a 10 minute buffer around the package start time to allow for any delays with previous parties or traffic. If we are delayed for any reason we will always endeavour to let you know.
As the owner of The Magic of a Princess, I have qualifications in acting and musical theatre, as well as 17+ years experience as a professional singer and performer and working with children. I also run a toddler dance group, and have an enhanced DBS check, am paediatric first aid trained, and am a mum of 2.
All of the staff we provide have a DBS check, and experience in performing, singing, and working with children, as well as qualifications in musical theatre, dance or acting. Most of us are also mums ourselves!
Your performer will bring everything they need to make your party magical! However, we do require a few small things! A parking space close to the venue/home is very helpful as we may have a lot of equipment to bring in. We may require some assistance where possible to keep our entrance as elegant as we can!
For home visits we ask where possible, for any pets to be kept out of the way; we are all animal lovers/pet owners, but like to keep our costumes as pristine as we can. If your party is due to be outside, please let us know beforehand, and please try to have a back up plan where possible.
We also ask, particularly for home visits, if when booking you are able to provide directions if your property is difficult to find, especially where rural, as this helps us to arrive on time, and avoids having to phone for directions, where there may not always be phone signal.
The only thing we ask is for one plug socket for our PA, a table and chairs for any craft activities and for any inflatables to be deflated for the duration of our visit (where possible). Bouncy castles can be very distracting for your guests and we've found can take away the magic from our visit.
If your party is planned for outside please ensure you have a bad weather back up plan as due to the nature of what we do we will not be able to continue with the party in bad weather outdoors.
