Q: Is family entertainment booked by the hour or as a package?

Both are common. Shorter bookings are usually priced by the hour or per show, while a full family day is more often quoted as a package covering several acts or a longer run. A package tends to work out better where the event runs across an afternoon.

5/5 from 955 reviews

Paul Andrich Mentalist and Magician "Paul was fantastic! We had him work at our Christmas party this year. He did walk around magic before dinner. Then during dessert we had him perform his stage show. Both the walk around and stage show were wonderful. He had everyone talking. A couple of his more dangerous tricks had people gasping. Especially the one where he slams his hand down on paper bags and one of the bags has a spike inside. Terrifying. Highly recommend." Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba Dana Moore - Corporate event.

Sitruc James "We have used Sitruc James probably 5 times in the past. He has performed at our children's birthday parties and we have had adult only parties. His magical tricks are extremely impressive and his humor hysterical! Would highly recommend and will definitely use him again!!!!" Based in Regina, Saskatchewan (333 miles from Winnipeg) Marilyn E. Perez

Joel Jeffrey Comedian "Joel entertained us for our staff forum, and it was a blast! Clean comedy that had us all rolling in the aisles. I would definitely recommend hiring Joel for your comedy needs. Thanks Joel for a fantastic evening!" Based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (442 miles from Winnipeg) 28th October 2025 Robin Nogue

Zack Percell of TnZ Magic "Zack came to our Elementary School today and performed for our 400 students ages 5 to 10. The kids (and staff) LOVED his show! He was very engaging with the kids, and they were amazed by his magic! He interacted with the kids in the audience, and a few lucky students and teachers were able to assist with the magic tricks, which they all loved! Thank you for the wonderful entertainment!" Based in Rockford, Illinois, United States (652 miles from Winnipeg) Courtney Coulthard - School admin

La Rosa Oscura Flamenco "Jennifer was absolutely the LIFE of our party! She is super easy to communicate with, very accommodating, more than punctual and even flexible when our internal event scheduling fell behind. She had our event guests clapping, dancing, and of course cheering between every song. We hope we can feature La Rosa Oscura again in the future and look forward to visiting her at shows around the city. Thank you, Jennifer!!!!" Based in Mundelein, Illinois, United States (684 miles from Winnipeg) Linda Stoklasa-Craig - Friends of Moos Elementary School nonprofit

Happily Ever After Parties "She was fantastic and the kids loved her. She was very professional and had all things laid out as far as trying to make sure each child had a special interaction and each had their own moment. She was fantastic and I recommend her services to all who are interested." Based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States (708 miles from Winnipeg) Rob Carmichael
