Friend Like Me Parties & Entertainment

At Friend Like Me, we are very much Anti Generative AI. Not only is it unethical, in that it was trained off of stolen artwork, writings, music and more, but it is bad for the environment.

More often than not, AI promotional materials are a set up for disappointment. The biggest example is the Wonka Experience in Glasgow, where families were promised amazing walk through experiences only to be met with an empty warehouse. What you see is what you get with us at Friend Like Me!

AI data centers are using up fresh water sources at an alarming rate, and disproportionately affecting poorer communities because they don't have the ability to fight against them. In 2025 AI consumed as much water as the whole bottled water industry and is projected to consume as much as the entire nation of New Zealand does annually by 2027.

We implore you, if you care about the environment, to stop using Generative AI like Chat GPT. 💙

Why We Cost What We Do (and Why It Matters) ✨️

When it comes to your parties and events, we know everybody plans with care (and a budget). That’s why we believe in being open about why professional specialty entertainment is considered a luxury and what makes us different from cheaper alternatives.

Anyone can throw on a halloween costume and show up to your home with a bluetooth speaker, but what they often make for viral "fail" videos.

What makes a Friend Like Me visit special goes far beyond the costumes and wigs. It’s about protecting the magic your child believes in while creating a joyful, safe, and unforgettable experience.

When you book with Friend Like Me, you’re guaranteed…

👸 Insured performers and attendants so families can sit back, relax, and enjoy the event while we entertain
✨️ Trained, compassionate performers who know how to engage children of all ages and abilities
🦸‍♂️ Inclusive magic for all, from high quality costuming to keeping a room full of excited kids smiling and cared for

So no, we aren't the cheapest option and that’s okay! We deliver far more than a stranger in a costume. We are proud of our character integrity, professionalism, and moments that feel like they’ve jumped out of the story and into your home.

For 10 years, we have been honored to serve people who value meaningful memories, stress free celebrations, and seeing their child’s eyes light up when we enter the room. We are dedicated to continue offering you the best entertainment this state has to offer, and we are grateful for your continued support.
