Pixies Parties | Calgary's Top Character & Princess Party Service

Everything you need to know about booking a magical character visit in Calgary and surrounding areas.

Packages, Add-Ons & Pricing

How much does a character party cost in Calgary?

Pixies Parties offers two main party packages: the 60-minute Classic Package for $250 CAD and the 90-minute Deluxe Package for $350 CAD. Both packages include activities and supplies for up to 10 children.

What is the difference between the Classic and Deluxe packages?

The Classic Package ($250) includes 60 minutes of interactive storytelling, games, singing, and photo opportunities. The Deluxe Package ($350) extends the visit to 90 minutes and adds extras such as a Royal Coronation ceremony and Glitter Tattoos.

What specific activities are included in your party packages?

Our parties are highly interactive and feature a grand character entrance, story time, sing-alongs (for appropriate characters), themed games, a craft activity (supplies included for 10 children), princess makeup or glitter tattoos, and a magical birthday song ceremony.

What if we have more than 10 children attending?

Both the Classic and Deluxe packages include supplies for up to 10 children. Additional guests are $10 per child so every child receives full party supplies and participation time. I recommend a maximum of 15 children for the Classic Package and 20 children for the Deluxe Package to ensure a quality experience for all guests.

How long do your children's character parties typically last?

I offer flexible package durations to suit your event, including our popular Classic Party (60 minutes) and our Deluxe Party (90 minutes). I also offer longer options for corporate or large public events.

Can I add a photo backdrop or shorter visit option?

Yes! Alongside our Classic and Deluxe parties, we offer shorter Character Meet & Greets, Virtual Visits, and an 8’ x 10’ Castle Photo Backdrop add-on ($80), where our team arrives early before your party to set it up.

What types of children's party entertainment do you specialize in?

I specialize in premium princess parties and enchanting fairytale themes, but our lineup also includes other popular character options. Check our Characters page to see our full, enchanting cast!

Booking, Travel & Policies

How do I book a princess or character party in Calgary?

Booking is easy! Simply visit our Booking Page to select your desired date, time, and character. You can also reach out via our Contact Form for any questions or special requests.

How far in advance should I book, and is a deposit required?

We recommend booking 4 to 6 weeks in advance—especially for weekend dates—though last-minute availability is sometimes open. A $100 non-refundable deposit secures your date and character, with the remaining balance due before your event.

Which cities and areas do you serve?

Pixies Parties is proudly based in Calgary and happily travels to surrounding areas across Southern Alberta. A small Travel Fee may apply if your event location is outside the immediate Calgary city limits.

How early does the performer arrive?

Your performer arrives in full character costume right at your scheduled booking start time, ready to make a magical entrance. I recommend scheduling the character arrival 30 to 45 minutes after your party begins so all guests have arrived.

Can parties be held outdoors or at a park?

Yes, I perform at homes, community halls, and outdoor parks. For outdoor events, I ask that you provide a shaded area and have an indoor backup plan in case of inclement weather or extreme temperatures.

What if the weather is bad for our outdoor party?

I strongly recommend having an indoor backup venue ready for all outdoor events. I do not offer refunds for inclement weather. However, I will gladly work with you to find an alternative indoor solution or to reschedule the party (rescheduling fee applies).

What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

The $100 deposit is non-refundable. Please see our Cancellation Policy Page for full details on changes, rescheduling fees, and how I handle emergencies.

Characters, Safety & Party Experience

What do I need to provide at my home or venue for the performer?

Very little! Your performer brings their own portable speaker, storybooks, craft supplies, and games. We just ask for a clear indoor or shaded outdoor space (roughly 8’ x 8’) where children can sit in a circle for story time and dance comfortably, plus access to a small table or floor area for crafts.

Do parents need to stay during the party?

Yes, Pixies Parties provides interactive entertainment rather than childcare. We ask that at least one parent or supervising adult remain present in the room throughout the character’s visit.

What is your policy regarding adding a second character?

As a dedicated solo performer, I currently focus on one magical character per event to ensure the highest quality of individual experience. Our performer brings an abundance of magic, activities, and excitement for all the children!

What age groups are your parties best suited for?

Our parties are perfectly tailored for children aged 4 to 10, but our experienced entertainers can adapt activities to ensure fun and engagement for a wider range of ages, from toddlers to tweens.

Do you provide costumes or accessories for the children?

While children are absolutely encouraged to dress up and join the fun, Pixies Parties provides the character and supplies for the craft/activity, but not costumes for the children to wear.

Do you create custom characters not listed on your website?

I currently focus on perfecting our existing character offerings to ensure a truly magical experience. However, I am happy to consider custom requests! Please fill out our Contact Form with details about the character you are looking for. I will review your request and do my best to accommodate it for your event.

What safety and hygiene measures are your performers taking?

The safety of the children is our top priority. Our entertainers are fully vaccinated and adhere to all current safety and hygiene guidelines to ensure a safe, enchanting party experience for everyone.

Can you accommodate children with special needs or allergies?

Yes, I strive to create inclusive experiences for all children. Please inform us of any special requirements or allergies when booking, and I will do my very best to adapt the activities to ensure a safe and magical experience for every child.

Is tipping customary for the performer?

Tipping is never expected, though always deeply appreciated if you feel your performer made your child’s celebration extra magical!
