Our Delighted Clients & Kids 

I hired Dream Top for a two-year-old’s birthday party at a park. Drea and Dream Top exceeded my expectations. Drea was wonderful with the little kids. As the children arrived, she made balloon animals for each one of them. After everyone had arrived and had a little food, Drea set up her magic and puppet show. The puppet show was a huge hit with the two- and three-year-old children. Drea is absolutely charming. Her princess unicorn outfit was loved by all. I would definitely hire Dream Top again. I will hire her for my granddaughter’s next birthday party. Thank you so much Drea.

Joan G.

It was a blast! Her content was received really well by kids between ages 3-9 and all the parents messaged later to say that their kids had a really fun time, even with a Covid-affected virtual birthday party. She has high energy and kept the kids engaged and roaring with laughter for the entire time. Highly recommend her!

Aparajita J.

Drea is fantastic, she came to my daughter’s 8th birthday and the kids had a blast!!! I highly recommend her, even the parents were enjoying her show. Thanks, Drea for making our party the best ever (that’s what the kids said).

Ayrissa F.

Our virtual kiddos party with Drea was so fun and the kids were super engaged the whole time! She got us laughing and up and moving around from the first minute to the last. Her puppets are hilarious and her themed adventures are so creative and cute! Thanks, Drea and The Dream Top! I would definitely do this again.

Marjorie W.

Drea is very responsive and was willing to work around the needs of the party. She gave fantastic recommendations on activities and time, taking into consideration the large range of age groups. She had fantastic follow-up before and after the party.

Drea was so professional to work with. She remained in frequent phone, text, and email contact leading up to the party, making sure our requests were met. She came as requested – a unicorn! We went for entertainment rather than balloons or face painting – Drea kept the attention of 30-plus kids for 1 hour. Their smiles and giggles were delightful! She made both of my girls very happy. Thank you, Drea.

Kitty C.

Drea is incredible! Several parents called or texted us afterward to tell us how much fun their kids had! Highly recommended! Super easy to work with.

Ask the Dream Makers

Q. What’s the secret to a successful kid’s party?
I’ll let you in on the secret! You are planning not 1, but 2 parties: one for the kids… and a secret party for you and the adults! Here is the trick: have 2 party areas that are separated by a wall. Maybe the kitchen or patio for the adults, and a cleared-out living room for the show and games where kids can be KIDS. We will entertain the kids and get all their wiggles out. Your friends will thank you when their kids are calm and tired at the end of the party!
Q. How are your parties COVID safe?
Drea and Skip are fully vaccinated. For added safety, have an outdoor party! Masks can be worn for all activities except it is not recommended that Drea be masked during the show.
Q. Where should I host my party?
Birthdays are great at your home or a park! Living rooms and backyards are great! Clear out a space for the show and games. I’ve found the best way to engage a group of party kids is to bring them together with a magic show in a quiet neutral room. This allows kids to use their imaginations, their voices, and their BODIES! If they can get out their wiggles and giggles in a safe, clear space, it allows YOU and the other parents to completely relax! Also, when the show is over, they will be all tuckered out and easier to manage. Go ahead, turn off that music and TV! Clear the area of chairs, balloons, toys, food, presents, party favors, crafts, etc. Acoustic separation is best as the kids will be laughing and screaming with delight! Otherwise, dividers help—or, at the very least, the farthest quiet corner is recommended. You won’t even need chairs! It’s best if kids can sit on the floor. If you are planning this at a restaurant or a venue besides your home, let them know an entertainer will be coming: they can often help facilitate a great space for a show.
Q. Planning for weather
If your party is outside, have a plan in case of extreme weather, either rain or shine! For outdoors, have a shade plan! Entertainers and kids need to be in the shade for the show. Direct sun is damaging to our bodies, costumes and supplies. No one wants to sweat through a magic show!
Q. How should I schedule the party and entertainment?

I recommend entertainers arrive at least 30 minutes after the starting time listed on the invites for your party. This allows guests to arrive, say hello, and stragglers to arrive in time for the show. It’s best if the entertainer starts with the show—not balloons or face paint. Food can be served after the magic show (and games). If you intend to serve lunch or dinner first, then I strongly recommend you schedule entertainment for at least 60 minutes after meal time.

Q. What space do you need for a magic show? What do I need to provide?
Clear out a space for the show and games. I’ve found the best way to engage a group of party kids is to bring them together with a magic show in a quiet neutral room. This allows kids to use their imaginations, their voices, and their BODIES! If they can get out their wiggles and giggles in a safe, clear space, it allows YOU and the other parents to completely relax! Also, when the show is over, they will be all tuckered out and easier to manage. Go ahead, turn off that music and TV! Clear the area of chairs, balloons, toys, food, presents, party favors, crafts, etc. Acoustic separation is best as the kids will be laughing and screaming with delight! Otherwise, dividers help—or, at the very least, the farthest quiet corner is recommended. You won’t even need chairs! It’s best if kids can sit on the floor. If you are planning this at a restaurant or a venue besides your home, let them know an entertainer will be coming: they can often help facilitate a great space for a show.
Q. How should I decorate?
Here is my best tip: Put ALL of the food and presents where the adults are so they can feast and chat and help their kids get food. Put your decorations around the CAKE table where we will take a fantastic group picture and the decorations won’t get in the way of the magic show or the kids playing games!
Q. How much time should I book with you?
I recommend booking the amount of time you want / fits your budget. Once you choose the amount of time you want I’ll recommend the best activities to maximize the joy per minute – custom for your party depending on your setting and your group! We can chat either before or after booking.
