Is a contract and deposit required?  Yes, contracts and deposits are essential to running an outstanding business of this type.  They protect the customer as well as the entertainer.

Why isn't face painting offered with costume characters?  Face painted children can stained costume characters, furniture, carpet, etc.

Why do some costumed characters require an assistant?  Vision is very limited for some characters and they do not speak if their face is covered.  The assistant helps with communication and provides activities the character is unable to do.   

Should I tip the entertainer, and what is an appropriate gratuity?  Gratuities are appreciated and are NOT already included in our package prices. Like most services, an appropriate gratuity ranges from 15% and up.
