That all of our princesses sing live? A sing-along is included in all of our party packages and you can add it as an option for events too! And occasionally we do live concerts for the community - including one coming up in September 👀

Do you know someone who looks and sings like a princess? We are hiring BIPOC performers who can accurately portray characters inspired by Tiana, Moana, Mulan, Jasmine, and more! Send us a message for more information 💕
