Testimonials

“Just to say that Dom was fantastic on Saturday afternoon at our son’s party. He kept 20 5 year olds fully amused and everyone had a lot of fun. We were thrilled that our son was so relaxed and enjoyed it all enormously. Probably the first time he has really been full on at a party.
I also really appreciated Dom calling me on Friday afternoon to check on party arrangements, and for a briefing. Very attentive, well done!
So we will recommend you to our friends and look forward to seeing you next year!”

“A quick note to say the entertainer we had was brilliant. The feedback I got back from toys was that he was 150%. So thanks so much.”

“We just wanted to tell you that we had a fantastic time yesterday during our party for our son. Our pirate Will was a fantastic entertainer and all the children enjoyed it a lot, from 3 to 6! I like particularly the energetic aspect of the entertainment. It was lots of running around, dancing and kept all the kids busy and happy. We have heard lots of good praises since the party and have highly recommended your company and Will. Thanks”

“Just wanted to pass on my thanks for our fantastic storyteller at our daughter’s party on Saturday – Luanna was absolutely brilliant – she captured all the children’s imaginations and kept them all engaged throughout the party. Our daughter absolutely loved it and thought that Luanna was just wonderful – in fact she wants her to visit her at school! I was worried that the Mermaid may not live up to my expectations after the fabulous pirate I had for my son’s party 2 years ago, but I needn’t have worried at all – Luanna lived up to the high standards of The Action Station. Thank you very much – and please pass on our thanks to Luanna”

“Hello, I would just like to thank you for sending us the most lovely entertainer, Luanna on my daughter’s 4th birthday on November. She kept the children riveted and with her gentle and engaged manner she told the most beautiful story about a mermaid. My daughter was moved to tears and so was I! She even dealt very well with the older children keeping them happy whilst making sure the birthday girl and her peers were entertained.
Many thanks for making her birthday really special. With kind regards”

“I would just like to let you know that Mat was absolutely fantastic and kept 20 children of varied ages thoroughly engrossed for the whole session. All adults present were very impressed! Many thanks, we would definitely use The Action Station again and would highly recommend it to others.”

“Dear Katerina. Will was a fantastic pirate for us. The kids are still talking about him! So please pass on our thanks. My older daughter who is very girly says she wants a pirate party herself next year! Regards”

“Please send our best wishes and thanks for such a stunning Spaceman performance. My husband thought it was well worth the investment as it took the pressure off us to provide amusement for 19 excited 4 and 6 year olds. It was great to see the childrens’ imagination run. Our son hasn’t stopped talking about the spaceman who got his foot stuck in the window on his way in – very realistic and highly amusing to see the children’s faces! Some of the children was waiting in the garden at the end to see the rocket take off from the roof – he was that real! Quite an amazing achievement to keep the childrens’ attention for over 2 hours with the space adventure. The feedback is that all the children had a very enjoyable time.”

“We just wanted to send a note to let you know that Katharine, who was a Sea Fairy at our Mermaid party yesterday, was fantastic. She looked the part, and struck a very good balance between keeping the children engaged while also being relaxed when they didn’t play along with the script. She seemed very warm and friendly, which is just what you want with a group of 3 and 4 year olds. The feedback we’ve had today is that the children had a great time, and especially since it was a wet day and playing in the garden wasn’t an option, it was great to have someone keeping the children happy and busy indoors for two whole hours. We will very happily recommend Action Station, but Katharine in particular, to other friends. Thank you!”

“My daughter wants to say a huge thank you to Mad Dog Matt for making her party so special at the weekend. I remember, just before Matt started talking to the children, that I started having doubts about the concept of “storytelling” at a party. I envisaged a harrassed narrator having to constantly beseech the children to sit down and keep quiet so they could hear the story. I even said to Matt, don’t be too strict with them, let them have fun. He looked at me a bit strangely, and I can understand why! For the whole first hour of the party Matt had their rapt attention, as he drove them wild with his stories and antics. In fact, most of my friends were spellbound too, and especially looked as if they really wanted to join in! Matt is absolutely brilliant with kids – he knows how to keep them enthralled – not one child wandered off. It was a brilliant party from start to finish, and a big part of that is down to Matt. Please feel free to use me as a reference, if other parents would like some feedback. Thank you again”

“Just to let you know that today’s event at Bentalls went really well, we were really pleased with Kyla!”

– Bentalls, Kingston August 2007

“Just wanted to let you know that Mat was an excellent choice of entertainer for our son’s party on Saturday. We ended up with 18 5 year olds, and Mat handled and entertained them beautifully. Thank you so much for coming to the rescue and finding such a competent and likeable entertainer at such short notice. Kindest regards”

“I just wanted to say thank you for the brilliant James Bond party you organised for my daughter. Brigid was absolutely great and managed to capture the imagination of twenty 9&10 year olds and keep all of them completely captivated for 2 whole hours (a major achievement for that age group-particularly the boys!) I felt that Brigid was inspired and motivated the children very well. I was amazed at what she achieved in two hours, although to be honest we could have gone on for much longer. I’m glad that I was advised to just get pizza delivered and not worry too much about the “party tea” as the children weren’t that keen to be interrupted from their acting. All in all it was a very special party which everyone enjoyed and without doubt the easiest one I’ve had. We (the adults) were even able to have a glass of wine during the proceedings! Thank you again”

– Sandra booked a Drama Party March 2007

“All the children had a wonderful time yesterday at our daughter’s 6th birthday party. Your DJ was very good with the children who all enjoyed the ‘grown up’ disco. Many thanks for making the day special.”

” Just to say thanks following a very successful Princess Party this morning. Princess Rosebud was fantastic – very lively – kept the children all enthralled and was of course very beautiful – our daughter was a very happy little girl!”

“Thank you and ‘The Action Station’ so much for sending ‘Scatty the Batty Witch’ to our Halloween Party last Saturday, she was fabulous from the moment she appeared. My little girl said I looked “chilled instead of stressed as usual mummy!”- so it was a great idea booking a performer !!! Every child was mesmerised and fascinated by her storytelling and her dramatic roleplay – even the parents seemed enthralled and eager to help find Scatty’s wand from Mr.Naughty Goblin!! The children were so busy playing ‘Scatty’s’ games, searching through the woods and rescuing creepy crawlies from a red jelly spell pot that the party went effortlessly and I am pleased to say, our halloween party has been the talk of the play ground since. May I also congratulate ‘Scatty’ on her total professionalism of staying within character at all times ….AND she is welcome to park her broomstick again next Halloween. I will definitely use you for forthcoming events and recommend ‘The Action Station’ to other mummy friends who might also need to ‘chill’!!”

“What a wonderful success Hope’s party was. All the kids were mesmerized and completely believe in Molly Moonbeam. It was a joy to watch. Thanks you so much, it was a great day.”

-Toria booked Fairy party 2003

“It was absolutely brilliant – all her friends loved it and my daughter hasn’t stopped talking about it since, reliving all the details. Catherine was fantastic – she related amazingly well to all the children and drew them all in, both the shy ones and the more boisterous ones.”

“Last year we had the amazing Robin (Cornelious Knock) entertain at my children’s Halloween party. He was by far and away the best entertainer we have ever had and was raved about for weeks afterwards. We would love to book him again this year…”

– Penny Cotran 2003

“Please pass on my sincere thanks to Angelo for his fantastic disco – he really ‘partied’ the kids hard and they had a tremendous time. He worked extremely hard to ensure that a great time was had by all.” ‘Sarah was a first rate make up artist – the following day, one of the boys (who had refused to wash off his facial ‘bruises’) happened to be at the doctor’s with his Mother – the doctor was genuinely taken in, and quite suspicious! And the girls (early arrives, so she kindly did them, too) looked fabulous with trailing flowers on their faces.”

– Sandra Blackford 2003

“Just to let you know that Catherine ‘the garden fairy’ was a big hit at Molly’s 6th birthday party. Molly and her friends all dressed as faeries and enjoyed the whole fairy theme – some of them really believing that Molly has a fairy living at the bottom of her garden! An original idea enjoyed by all!”

“Thanks to Karen from The Action Station, who persuaded me to book a pirate party for our son on his fourth birthday. We had a dozen little pirates climbing the rigging, cleaning the decks, loading the cannons and wrestling octopus led by our actor/storyteller in full glorious pirate gear. I wanted to join in! Well done, and a big thank you to Rob.”
