Play & Parties - Orange, California

Everytime my kids go here they have the biggest smiles on their faces and the absolute best time. They love the mascots and the hosts. They especially love Miss Stephanie who plans the best activities and games for them. They are always engaged and laughing. The owner is incredibly welcoming and it is obvious everyone there loves their job. We also had a party with them for my 2 year old daughter and it was the best party we’ve had for either of my kids. The entertainment was great and the kids just had a blast. If you need a birthday party for a child of any age, I highly recommend this place.

It takes not only a creative mind but also incredible skills and effort to make a kids dream party come true. My son wanted to have a Batman theme party for his 5th birthday and I cannot thanks enough to Lisa and her team for the magic they created. It felt like a little Batman cave and the Batman artist blew everybody’s mind. From the decorations to the kids activities everything was well planned and full on kids entertainment for 2 hours. Overall we had a blast at Play & Parties and will say if you have a party vision just tell to Lisa & her team and they will turn your dream into a reality.

WOW!! Lisa, John and their staff blew us away today. When I walked into the venue, my jaw literally dropped to the floor because the decor was on point, beautifully done and you could tell they put their heart into making our party spectacular!! Everything from the cake, balloons, tablescapes, arts and crafts... just perfect! The performers were truly magical too and my daughter could not stop smiling all day.

Elsa, played by Mallory, was able to captivate all of the busy/crazy kids. Her voice held the attention of the entire room as she led the fun activities, games and songs. She also sang "Let It Go" so beautifully and my daughter was truly memorized. Finally, she gave the party goers cute and shiny tattoos. My daughter refuses to wash it off now! Everyone could tell Mallory had experience, showmanship, stage presence and talent. She did an amazing performance as Elsa.

Cinderella, played by Abigail, was such a sweetheart and so loving towards my daughter. She personally interacted with Lauren many times, making her feel incredibly special and important. Lauren was very drawn to her especially when she went looking for that missing glass slipper. Lauren chose to wear her Cinderella pJs tonight for bed and asked if Cinderella could come over for dinner haha, thank you Abigail 🙂

Unicorn Sprinkles, played by Mia, was a happy and vibrant Mascot. Her movements were upbeat, social and interactive. She was always willing to take as many photos with guests and danced/stood the entire time! And that is one hot and heavy costume to wear for over 2 hours! I remember she even made horse sounds when we took photos, which cracked me up. Great performance by Mia!

Extra staff - the company hired a ton of additional staff to help move things along. I really appreciated how the staff catered towards the needs of every child and made everything feel organized.

The owner, Lisa, really loves what she does and she puts her soul into her work. She supervises the entire event, reads the environment, steps-in when needed and tailors each activity to the crowd. At first my daughter was shy, but Lisa was able to open her up and soon enough she was jumping for joy. We now have memories we will cherish forever.

This is the place where your child's dream will literally come true. Lisa is the head of this company, and from the beginning of the planning process, she was so enthusiastic, and you can tell she genuinely wants you and your child to be happy. They take care of everything. Literally, all I had to do was bring the lunch and drinks for the adults, and the goody bags - and they take care of: ordering the cake and cupcakes, BRINGING the cake and cupcakes from bakery to the location, preparing a boxed lunch for each child, which included pizza, grapes, and goldfish crackers. They do all the entertaining and announcing, literally I felt like a guest at my own party. I was actually able to enjoy it, and even was able to mingle with my adult friends while the kids were all having fun with the characters!

We chose to hire two characters for my daughter's 3rd birthday, Moana and Minnie Mouse. The parties are 2 hrs long but we paid for an extra hour to accommodate all our guests schedules, and it was definitely worth it.

The host Lisa, and the characters and their sidekicks were SO patient, never looked stressed or annoyed, and kept checking with me to ask if it's a good time to start the lunch, the cake, the entertainment, everything.

During one of the activities which was high energy, my other daughter ran up to me and thanked me for having this party! Everyone left so happy, and we did not have to do the cleanup or any setup for this.

100000% recommend this place for your child's birthday party, and we will be booking with them again for next year!

Thank you Lisa, for your genuine love for doing this.

We celebrated our daughter Joelle's FOURozen Birthday Celebration at Play and Parties just a few weeks ago and it was such a beautiful party! Joelle was in Frozen Princess Heaven!
We are so thankful to the Owner and Director, Lisa, and the entire Play and Parties team as well as the beautiful Elsa and Anna characters and the cute Olaf character for their exceptional performance for Joelle and our family and friends! Lisa was such a pleasure to work with and available to answer questions prior to the party. She was so kind and responsive via text and phone and also allowing us to come in the day before to bring in decorations and favors for the party as well as meet with our event coordinator/balloon designer. Lisa went above and beyond to make sure every detail and decoration was perfect! She provided a plethora of gorgeous decorations and linens to make sure the cake table and backdrop looked amazing! She even stayed late into the evening the night before decorating to make sure everything was perfect and ready to go for our party. Lisa and her team worked quickly and efficiently and Joelle's party was perfect! Joelle was in awe of the beautiful Queen Elsa and Princess Anna and had so much fun dressing up and singing and dancing! It was so wonderful to have the special addition of Olaf as well! All of our guests had such a wonderful time and we really do have Lisa and her fantastic team to thank!
There is one word to describe our sweet Joelle's Birthday Party and that is JOY!

I celebrated my daughter's last minute birthday here and Lisa was very accommodating and helpful. She made my daughter feel like a princess with special treatment throughout the day. They even provided a candle and sang happy birthday to her along with the wonderful princess Cinderella, who did amazing with the kids.

Oh my gosh! We had such a wonderful 1st birthday for my little one! This place is a little hidden GEM and deserves way more than 5 stars! The owner, Lisa, is super friendly and genuinely desires to make your party the best that it can be. She calls you ahead of time to make sure all the details are right. The price was reasonable, and my two boys and all their friends had a blast!

Will definitely try to come back for their fun other activities. Thank you again, Lisa and staff! 😊

Tip: there is no sign outside the strip mall so it may be a little difficult to find. The facility Is located right next to Home Goods and across from Ross.
