We request that you please save a spot for your performer(s) to park in the driveway or in front of the event location. We appreciate having a safe and easy access into the party site with all materials.

All party visits MUST begin at the scheduled time agreed to by the client at the time of the booking and will end upon the agreed duration time.

DO YOUR ENTERTAINERS ACCEPT GRATUITY?
Absolutely! The entertainers that serve you are all well trained and make it their number one priority to ensure your party is a success. Gratuity is not included in the total of your package price, so if you want to show your entertainer that you loved their performance, gratuity is a great way of doing so. Though it is not expected, it is always appreciated and is definitely customary in this industry. Tipping an entertainer is just like tipping a waiter or waitress; Gratuity is between 15%-20% of your package total is a typical tip amount and is appreciated.
