Question 1: I've booked my party- when will I hear from you? 

 

When you submit a booking form, we instantly receive all of your party details ✨ We then check availability with our team to make sure we can create something magical just for you.

Once confirmed, you’ll receive a confirmation email within 1–3 business days. If you don’t hear from us in that time, feel free to reach out—sometimes emails like to play hide and seek!

Your confirmation email will include a link to your personalized booking page, where you can review your details and secure your date.

To officially reserve your party, we require a $75 retainer, which goes toward holding your date and all the behind-the-scenes magic that makes your celebration so special 💫

Prefer to pay in full? You’re welcome to do that through the same link as well!

Question 2: How does a party typically go?

 

Each party package is slightly different, but we do have a general script we go by.  We start off with story time, and then usually go on a scavenger hunt for items themed to the character you've chosen.  We have a variety of additional games we plan based on the number of children and the character, as well as a speaker we bring for music themed games.  If you've chosen a party package longer than 30 minutes, you will also receive superhero training or princess training. Please see our party packages for additional activities.

 

Question 3: I have both boys and girls coming to my party. Will they all feel included in the activities?

 

Our character parties are not catered to a specific gender, but to the character chosen.  Your character will treat each child as a special guest, regardless of gender, and all are included in our games or activities as long as the child wants to be included.  We have glitter tattoos for each gender, and they can choose whichever pile they wish to look through! ​​​

​

Question 6: How many characters can I have at my party? 

 

You can have any number, as long as we have the available performers! Additional characters are $80 per hour. 

​

Question 7: Where should the party be held? Can you come to my house?

 

We do come to houses! We can arrange to have our princesses, superheroes, or other characters visit a variety of venues, ranging from hotel party rooms, restaurants, schools, and homes.  We do suggest that the amount of space available is brought into account so that there is room to move around.  We can also attend parties at parks, though not on days where it's over 85 degrees.  We do not allow parties to take place in private hotel rooms.

 

 

Question 8: How far do you travel? Is there a Travel fee?

​

For events, we will travel up to 1.5 hours away from our base location in Sioux Falls, SD, and those events must be at least an hour in length.  For parties, we will also travel up to 1.5 hours, but those parties must be at least an hour in length as well. We have a travel fee of .60 per mile.  

​

Question 9: Why do you do for a deposit? What is your cancelation policy?

​

We are currently asking for a $75 retainer for all parties booked, which is applied to your party total.  We ask for the retainer as protection in case of cancelations.  We have a lot of prep work that goes into each party booked, and the retainer covers that loss in case of cancelation.  If we cannot fulfill your party request due to availability on our end, you will be given a refund in full.  You will also be given a full refund in the case of illness, COVID related instances, and Acts of God.  Partial refunds will be given in case of severe weather.  

​

Question 9: What Disney characters do you have? Are you aware of copyright?

 

We at Simply Ever After Entertainment use characters that are transformative figures from age-old fairytales.  There is no intention of copyright infringement of any company's characters, and we are not affiliated with any companies.  The themes of courage, kindness, intelligence, and bravery are universal and will always be admired.  We love our original costume designs and enjoy drawing ideas from fairytale history.  Nearly all of our costumes were hand made by our owner! If you are looking for entertainment or characters created by another company, such as Disney, please contact their offices.
