Anna T. says, "I booked Corbyjane as a surprise for my goddaughter’s 8th birthday pool party, and I am so glad I did. She had said that birthday princesses were for little kids, but lately she has been obsessed with everything pirates, mermaids, and fairies, so I knew a “real” mermaid would be a hit. Corbyjane was recommended to me by another performer I had contacted, who was unavailable for our date.
Corbyjane suggested which activities to include in the booking based on the length of time booked, our party size, and the ages of the guests. The kids were all ages 7 to 10, boys and girls, and Corbyjane was great with them. She taught them a couple new pool games, but I think my goddaughter’s favorite part was just listening to her tell stories from her life as a mermaid and asking her questions about mermaid “lore” and magic. The few adults present also really enjoyed her performance, and were probably as surprised and excited as the kids- we all got glitter tattoos!
As a former city pool lifeguard, I was impressed by how Corbyjane managed her safety when in the pool with the kids. She told me she works with a helper for mermaid bookings, which is also really good for safety, but I was actually able to act as her helper for this party since it was a smaller group and I was already in charge of leading swim safety with the kids. And since I wasn’t hosting, it was also easy for me to sneak her in and get set up for the big reveal at swim time.
My goddaughter is now asking for a mermaid tail she can wear in the pool. I may have to ask Corbyjane for her recommendations and get us matching ones for this coming summer!"See more
