EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most wonderful team! We hired Elsa (Phillipa & Emily) for our daughter’s 4th birthday party. They needed to entertain 45 children! Great communication up front. Messaged to check numbers and favourite songs a little more about the birthday girl. Arrived on the day on time and set up quickly. Then agreed on the plan for the timings. Nothing was too much trouble a d the children (and adults) were mesmerised. They helped allocate lunch boxes and really supported the whole event. Everybody commented on how professional they were. The live singing was also a wonderful surprise. Highly recommend and we’ll be using them againPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter had a fantastic time at her Neon Glow Party at the start of January. This is the second time we have used Absolutely Amazing Parties and they did not disappoint. The party was well organised and the children were entertained the whole way through so we could sit back and enjoy it too. The neon effects were amazing - it was like being at an Ibiza rave but for 7 year olds! So many of the girls said it was the best party they had ever been to! I 100% recommend this company and will definitely be using them once again in the future.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 10-year-old daughter wanted a Neon Disco party and having read the positive reviews online about Absolutely Amazing Parties, we decided to go with them. The booking form was straightforward, and they quickly replied, offering us alternative dates when our 1st choice wasn’t available and understanding when we needed to change the venue. The deposit payment was simple to send and then a week before the party, DJ Darren got in touch asking for our daughters top songs that she wanted playing. Another message was sent the night before confirming final details which set our minds at ease. Darren and Jayne arrived promptly to setup and sorted everything they needed, meaning we could setup the food.etc. When the guests arrived, Darren delivered our daughters playlist throughout the evening, taking requests from the other girls and adding different party songs to keep the evening lively. Jayne was energetic, active and engaging throughout the evening- no mean feat when keeping 38 girls ranging from age 5 to 12 entertained! The neon face paints were fun, the party games (including the highest energy pass the parcel I’ve ever seen!) were a hit with the girls and the ‘birthday throne’ along with the encouragement to celebrate everything that our daughters’ friends love about her was a wonderful touch. The clear up after the party was equally straightforward and all that was left for us to do was a very quick sweep up. We would highly recommend the Neon Disco party through Absolutely Amazing Parties as they were professional, fun and kept a lot of girls entertained for 2 hours!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter had a k pop party with special guest Rumi (Christie) and we couldn’t thank her enough my daughter loved it and so did her friends she was so helpful kept all the kids entertained throughout the party definitely recommend this company for parties and we will definitely be using again five starsPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most wonderful experience with Amazing Parties and their Princess visit to our home. From the moment she arrived, she brought a sense of sparkle and calm that instantly captivated the children. Her costume was beautiful, and she had a natural way of making every child feel included and special. The activities were perfectly paced and age‑appropriate, keeping everyone engaged without any stress or chaos. My daughter was absolutely thrilled — it felt like a little bit of magic had landed right in our living room. Communication and organisation were excellent from start to finish, and the whole experience felt effortless on our end. I would happily recommend Amazing Parties to anyone looking to create a memorable, joyful celebration at home.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked Spiderman who was brilliant.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Rapunzel and Ariel for my daughters party. OMG, the entertainers were absolutly amazing! I can't get over how well they did managing a room full of 24 very excited children! Rapunzel & Ariel both sang with my daughter one on one, not once but TWICE! They kept all the Children engaged for 2 full hours! Most amazing bit was when they made my Daughter an 'Offical Princess' Complete with a Princess promice, Certificate and crown. My daughter had an amazing time and has named this day 'The best day ever!' I've found my forever party entertainmentPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hayley (Jessie) hosted our daughter's 6th birthday party yesterday and all I can say it was the most magical experience for her and all of her friends. Hayley was amazing with every child and kept them all entertained throughout. We held the party in a soft play centre so the children were free to roam. Hayley got them dancing/singing/playing games and all we have had is positive feedback from parents who attended with their children. I throughly recommend Hayley and the extended team. Thank youPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Philippa and Emily absolutely blew us away today. Princess Aurora and Ariel joined us for a two hour party with 30 children and were fabulous from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, they were so helpful and so kind and patient with my three children even whilst busy setting up! My daughter has confirmed it's the best party she's ever been to and a fair few of her friends agreed! We've had so many compliments from parents who were amazed the children were engaged for the full duration off the party. My little girl Poppy thoroughly enjoyed her coronation and went to bed with "happy tears" because it had "just been so so good"! We cannot wait to use you guys again for our son's birthday later in the year. The process was so way from start to finish and we would definitely recommend to anyone! Thanks again Philippa and Emily!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The name of Absolutely Amazing Children's Parties is spot on and I cannot recommend Spiderman highly enough!! He was fantastic at my son's birthday party. 2 hours full of pure fun, entertainment and interaction with every single child and 20+ kids went home extremely happy. I also adore the fact that he included my eldest son into his activities. Thank you for a great party (my son is already thinking about his 7th birthday!)
