When families book a princess party in Connecticut or a superhero birthday experience with CT Princess Parties, one of the first questions they ask is, "Why does every character come with an assistant?" It's a fair question—and one we actually love answering. While the princess may be the one singing songs, telling stories, and making magical memories, there's another member of our team quietly working behind the scenes to ensure everything feels effortless. That person is ou

Recently, CT Princess Parties had the absolute pleasure of visiting Sensory Play Center in Shelton, Connecticut, as part of its Grand Opening celebration. Mermaid Celeste joined families for an Under the Sea experience filled with imagination, play, smiles, and plenty of mermaid magic. We were excited to be there, of course.

That's why we're investing so heavily in custom costumes. Over the past few weeks we've been designing and building an entirely custom professional mermaid performer from the ground up. Instead of purchasing a mass-pr

Over the last couple of months, I've spent a lot of time thinking about what actually makes a great princess party. Families searching for a Connecticut princess party or birthday party entertainment often focus on the character they'll see at the event. That's understandable. After all, the performer is the face of the experience and the person children will remember long after the party is over. The obvious answer is the performers.
