Vancouver Birthday Party Services That Come to You

Whether your comedy act is getting old or you draw the line at entertaining your child's ten best friends, hiring an entertainer or birthday party service is money well spent. In Vancouver, our options are as vast as our child's imaginations are large; here are a few of our in-house party favourites.

Your child may be speechless when the entertainers from My Little Princess walk out of a storybook and into your house. Trained theatre professionals, princesses or superheroes will conduct games and stories for the kids while you ice the cake. Starting at $200 for fifteen guests, their party packages include fairy dust, autographs and pictures with the character, and of course, hugs.

Whether you live in West Vancouver or Hope, The Great Gordini will come to your home and entertain your troupe. With years of experience, Gord Boyles uses puppet play, balloon art, magic tricks and laughter to keep your kids engaged and enthralled. Perfect for ages 3 and up, email him directly to receive a price quotation. Good to know: we love the Magic Lesson Package, which comes with a magic wand and props for two other tricks. Loot bag = solved.

Jedi warriors and Harry Potter fans will be in another galaxy when you organize The Young Wizards Academy for your shaker. Choose from several different themes, action packed duels and magic wand lessons, sessions perfecting Hogwart's scientific potions and girl power parties that include mud masks and homemade cosmetics. Prepare to discover your inner powers.

Dazzle them with diamonds. Gem Veranda comes to your house with a beautiful array of beads to create bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Recommended for children ages 5-13, kids will hover over their creations for an hour creating their own works of art (and also their own loot bag).

No room? No problem. The Vancouver Tumblebus is the best thing on four wheels. Retrofitted into a gym, the big yellow bus comes to your street or park and puts tumblers through their paces with a warm up, circuit, games, zip-lining, and our favourite, a medal ceremony, before rolling on its way. The best thing? Not a pillow out of place in your home. Packages start at $200 for up to twelve kids.

Sometimes, the food is the entertainment. Petite Puf is a mobile cotton candy cart service that will delight their palate and yours. Offering different flavours and colours, a spinning artist will put a luxurious touch on cotton candy memories of fairs gone by. $395 gets you an hour of cart service with one spinning artist and up to 60 cones.
