5.1 Little Party Faces entertainers are highly experienced & professional and will always go above and beyond to keep all the children engaged and entertained for the entirety of your booking. On rare occasions this may not be possible and Little Party Faces does not take responsibility for this, such as when there are distractions at your chosen venue like play equipment, where there is a very broad age range and the much younger or much older children choose not to take part or there are more than the recommended number of children per entertainer per booking (which is no more than 20 per entertainer), which impacts how effectively they can keep all the children entertained and engaged.
For this reason, Little Party Faces requires the client to contact us with any changes or updates to the event numbers, locations, times etc to ensure we can provide the contracted service.
5.2 Our performers are not impersonators, which means they might not look exactly like the characters, but they bring a similar spirit, energy, and excitement to your celebration. The focus of our service is on creating a fun-filled, memorable and special environment where kids can immerse themselves in games, laughter, and pure joy. We like to ensure this is clear so we can meet your expectations.
