It was an easy and fun event to work at. It was a little disorganized I guess, with the costumes arriving late and the hosts of the event being too busy to tend to us or give us more direction. But it all went well and I would work for Characters For Hire again, sure!

Working for Characters for Hire was a fantastic experience. It was a hot day and we were going inside of dinosaur costumes, but the manager, Mike, looked after us, checking in to make sure we were doing okay or if we needed a break. Also just a great fun guy to work with. The clients were very happy with our performance and it was a pleasure to work with them to give their daughter a perfect birthday. I am thankful for the opportunity to work for this company.

Very easy company to work with, as an actor they made my job incredibly straight forward and comfortable. Everything was handled in a prompt and timely manner, and they were super accommodating. Will definitely seek to work with them again in the future!

Thank you so much for an amazing experience. Our school hired dinosaurs from Characters for Hire for our annual fair. The dinosaurs put on a realistic and spectacular show.The kids and even the parents loved them. It was truly the highlight of our fair. We would definitely hire them for next years event.

The whole experience from start to finish and I gave a small window of time was amazing and professional. They went above and beyond for me and I won't hesitate to contact them again.

The performers were amazing! But it was just a bit unorganized. They showed up just a bit late, and while the performers were getting ready the manager kept pulling me aside from the event to sign papers and pay some due charges which caused me to miss some important parts of the party. Everyone was so kind and worked well to pull off an amazing performance! Everyone loved it!

Lucy, thank you for your review. And we are so happy that the performance was amazing and to your satisfaction. We were concerned when you mentioned that it was a bit unorganized and about being a bit late. When we pulled the paperwork that you signed, you indicated that everyone arrived 2 hours before your scheduled start date. So I'm confused here. Unless you were talking about when the performance started a bit late? that was due to us waiting for your guests to leave the cocktail room and enter the main room where the performance was scheduled to take place because that was the room where we needed to enter from. As per yourself, we had our manager remind everyone that we were about to start, so yes because of delays with the guests we were a bit late. And regarding when the manager (event coordinator) pulled you aside to sign the paperwork and collect the balance due, it's so he would not bother you during the start of the event. I hope this clarifies your concerns.
