Welcome to Beauty and The Ballgown, where magical moments, unforgettable memories and a little sprinkle of fairy-tale wonder come together.
We believe that childhood is made up of the little moments that become the biggest memories. The look on a child’s face when their favourite princess walks through the door. The excitement of singing their favourite songs with a real-life character. The giggles, the dancing, the stories and the magical moments they’ll talk about long after the party is over.
We are a fully insured and DBS checked, character entertainment company based in the north east of england. Our wish - to spread magic, joy and unforgettable memories to all we meet. Beauty and The Ballgown is made up of a magical mix of passionate performers, actors, singers, early years professionals and people who truly find the magic in everything.

The best Princesses I've seen. Felt very much like the ones at Disneyland. Beautiful dresses and in incredible character.
Hosted my daughter’s 5th birthday party. Hallie felt like a true princess and all of her friends had a magical time. We have recently returned from Disney and felt the interactions were truly magical. 5* (and more). My daughter changed her mind numerous times in the run up to her party regarding which princess’ she would like to attend and this was no problem at all. Can't recommend enough.
1000% recommend, today yous made us all have tears with the magic! You’s went above and beyond all expectations and made my little princesses birthday a one to remember! Thank you all so much for the effort, time and character you brung to our party, yous were a huge part of the special day. Really appreciate it, will be recommending to everyone that's for sure… thank you again snow sisters.
Thank you so much for making my daughter’s dream come true at her 5th birthday party - she had the most magical time & seeing her face lght up was just gorgeous, as lots of parents commented “you are the real deal” of the princess world and no-one else compared. Can't recommend you enough!!
Wow - Just WOW! Our little girl had the most amazing surprise ever when the Snow Sisters knocked on our door today! The magic you both brought made her open her mouth wide with shock, she was in absolute amazement that her most favourite princesses were standing right in front of her! Absolutely incredible and for us as parents to watch her eyes gleam with excitement when you both talked to her about starting school, helping to build Olaf and getting sprinkled with his magic snow to even knowing her name!! That is a moment she will treasure and remember forever!! The special gift you presented her with she will also treasure forever, it is already placed neatly on her shelf for no1 else to touch but her as there is special magic inside! Nothing else can be said other than you made our girls day and we thank you so so much for that
I have hired Beauty & The Ballgown a few times now for my daughter Ellie and every time they have been absolutely fantastic. Most recently they attended my daughter’s 4th birthday, we had the snow sisters and Rumi who were all amazing, the kids were completely starstruck when Rumi walked through the door and more so when they were able to sing, dance and play with the 3 princesses. They are so professional and I felt like I could relax during the party as they took control and had the kids attention from start to finish. Ellie adores the snow sisters, she keeps photos of them in her room from all of their meets but she now also has a special place for Rumi and says she wants her to come to her next party. I can’t recommend these guys enough, they are so professional and magic. Thank you so much for making my daughters birthday so special, we’re nearly 5 months later and still all she talks about is her best friends Anna, Else and Rumi

Beauty & The Ballgowns Elsa and Anna came and made our newly 5 year old and her friends extremely happy last weekend. Right from the off, the organisation and communication from them felt professional but friendly. Then on the day they did not disappoint. Elsa and Anna even had the adults captivated. From the singing to the dancing, games, activities, it was truly special and an event my little girl (and the rest of us) will never forget. We can't recommend them enough. Thank you

What a fantastic experience! Right from the start to the end there was not a single second that wasn’t filled with magic! We had Elsa and Anna visit all the way from Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest! Magic maker Caitlin just flowed so effortlessly from game to game whilst fixing capes and adjusting crowns. The whole experience was 10/10! Don’t hesitate to book these ladies they just ooze magic and they made my little girls birthday party something she will talk about forever!!
