A- We understand that unforeseen emergencies and poor weather can happen, so we will gladly do our best to work with you to reschedule a party. If you need to cancel before the final invoice is paid you will lose your deposit. We can not make refunds once the full payment is made.

Q- Can I still book a character party if the event is not at my house?
A- Yes! Our entertainers love to perform everywhere, so if you have a party or event booked at another venue we are more than happy to appear there! If your party is booked at a children's party facility we just ask that you let that facility know that we will be there so arrangements can be made if necessary. We recommend using OutSlide In located in the Citadel Mall!

Q- Do we have to follow every activity you have planned?
A- We understand that you may want to work with a party planner, have your own plan, or have your party booked at a facility that offers specific activities. Be sure to let us know ahead of time if you would like us to follow another plan or work with a facility or planner!

Q- Are your characters licensed or copyrighted characters?
A- No. Curiouser Entertainment does not offer any licensed or copyrighted characters. All characters are generic versions and are based on original stories, fairytales, and fables! We are professional actors and vocal entertainers only!

Q- I have pets, can I leave them out for our party?
A- Although we adore pets, we do ask that they be put up if they typically jump or are aggressive. We ask this for the safety of our actors and also to protect our costumes from rips and tears.

Q- When the performers arrive can I leave my kids with them?
A- We require parents to stay nearby and continue to supervise their children while we are in attendance. Our performers will come completely prepared with a minute by minute schedule of activities and although we want every child to be involved, there might be a child who is too young or shy and will be more comfortable with their parent or guardian around. We are experts at keeping multiple children interested and occupied, but things like spills and tantrums do happen, so having parents around to be there for their children is very helpful for us to maintain the flow of the party! (NOTE: We can not change diapers or serve food or drinks).

Q- What do I do when you arrive and leave our party?
A- We typically try to park as far from the location as possible, but we do ask that you try to keep your child from watching us get in or out of our cars. This is to maintain the magic!

Q- Do you leave time for pictures at birthday parties?
A- Yes! We save the last 10-15 minutes for posed photos! We encourage parents to wait to take posed photos until this time to help maintain the flow of the party! Please feel free to take photos and videos of the action until that time!

Q- Can I have my child's party outside?
A- For the safety of our performers, we ask that parties be indoors when temperatures go above 85 degrees. Our performers are wearing wigs and layered costumes which can cause overheating when mixed with heat. We also request outdoor parties provide a shaded area. (This does not include mermaid parties)

Q- Can I change the time of the party last minute?
A- We typically go from party to party on Saturdays and Sundays, so last-minute time or character adjustments may not be possible. If you need to change the time or character please let us know ASAP and we will do our best to accommodate. It may be difficult to get in touch with us the day of, please make sure everything is finalized and any questions are asked when the final invoice is paid 48 hours before the party.

Q- Can I work as a character performer for Curiouser Entertainment?
A- We only hire performers with professional theater experience! If you have theatrical experience, please send your headshot, acting resume, and brief video of yourself singing or performing a monologue to curiouserentertainment@gmail.com
