Such a brilliant entertainer! James gave Dylan a party to remember and kept all the children engaged and happy from start to finish! Thanks so much James. Would 100% recommend

We booked James after hearing such great reviews from trusted friends. We were definitely not disappointed! A joint 6th birthday party, a whole class plus lots of extra friends totalling around 50+ children (teeny tiny upwards) James took it all in his stride, great set up, so professional, games, music, laughs for children and parents. Cannot wait to throw another party so we can invite him back! Thankyou so much!!!

Absolutely amazing party entertainer. Very child centred and fantastic at catering for any specific needs and great with learning disability and special needs - very inclusive!

I couldn’t have asked for more! I booked James for my daughter’s 6th birthday party and he managed to entertain absolutely everyone in the room from the ages of 1-62! Professional yet hilarious and worked with me to make sure everything ran smoothly. Adaptable, kind & organised, I would recommend James in a heartbeat x

Wow! Thus is the second time we have used James and was awesome. I wouldn't consider using anyone else. The kids loved him and had a wonderful because of him.

Thank you so much.

Sept 2023: James, you have to be the best kids entertainer around. Thank you for being so flexible, hilarious, witty, appropriate (and not at all grating!) worth every penny. My twin 6 year olds absolutely loved your party, they were all putty in your hands! (how did you do it?!)

James D did a party for my granddaughter today and it was superb! The children had a great time - they were thoroughly entertained for the whole time. James soon got to know the children's names and was continuously encouraging them. He also made my granddaughter feel very special on her birthday. It was lovely to see everyone so happy! Thank you!

James did a party for my granddaughters last week ,all the kids had a fabulous time and parents that stayed said he was wonderful and kept the children completely entertained,well worth the money ,in fact Rosie said can she have another party next week !!

James was absolutely brilliant for my daughter's 6th birthday party! She had the BEST times and so did all her friends, thank you so much! See you again soon I'm sure.

My little boy thoroughly enjoyed his birthday party. The entertainment was amazing and kept all the kids amused and happy. James was brilliant with the kids and got everyone involved. My 8 year quoted if I had a party again I would have James D. xx would highly recommend.x

Booked James D about 18 months ago but due to covid and lockdowns, the party was delayed!
Yesterday it finally happened and it was worth the wait!
Such a funny, professional, friendly, brilliant performer!
The kids loved him- the parents belly laughed and the party was an absolute success!
Incredible thought out jokes, sketches and games! My children are still hysterically laughing because of Trixie!
Just brilliant!
Cannot recommend or rate enough!
Will highly recommend to anyone that asks!

I just wanted to email to say a final big thank you. Truly you were absolutely brilliant - so helpful and kind, so genuine with all the children (especially Millie and Jack) and fabulously funny of course!

Millie is growing up so quickly and I’m very aware that my time with her as a little girl is flying by so her 7th birthday was particularly special to me and you really made it one to remember forever.

Best wishes, Beth

I wouldn’t book anyone else now! It really was a party to remember and the guys went massively out of their way to help us with the preparation of the room. Thanks James D Party, you’re the best!

James provided the most fantastic entertainment for Isabella’s 6th Birthday party. Adam came with him and was equally as enthusiastic.
The children were thoroughly entertained throughout the whole party-I think the adults were too.

James was brilliant from the moment he got in the door to the moment he just about got out the door with me holding the children back to let him go ????. I’ve got a little girl who can be anxious and often spend time at party’s on my lap, but James won her over within minutes and really did make her party the best ??. It was a joint party and James made both girls feel very special and they enjoyed every minute, as did all of the guests..the children and the adults! Thank you so much!! Will definitely be booking again x

Fabulous Party! Both the girls had the time of their life and so did all the guests. The Grown Ups enjoyed it too!!! Highly Recommend and Super Professional>

Highly recommended, Superb from start to finish.
Couldn't ask for better entertainment for the children!!

Fabulous morning celebrating my daughters 7th birthday today. James is wonderful with the children, keeping them entertained throughout the whole 2 hours of the party! So many of our guests were very impressed. Would absolutely recommend xxx

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for George’s party on Sunday in Salhouse. ) You were incredible at entertaining and holding the attention of 40 children and all the adults and kids loved the upbeat tempo of the whole party. George and his sister Hattie had the most amazing time. Thanks so much again we definitely would recommend!

Thank you James for making my Granddaughters party today so enjoyable for her and her friends! Great disco, great games and a wonderful connection with the children! Just what is required! Very professional and would recommend to all parents.

James is simply fantastic at what he does. He has the ability to light up a room and the kids are so entertained, happy and love every minute of the party. I cannot speak highly enough of him. James thank you for making a 5 year old girl extremely happy, entertaining her friends and giving us adults two hours of fantastic memories and relaxation even if you did make me race on a space hopper!

We have used James D for both my Daughter's 8th birthday party in October 2016 and my son's 8th birthday party yesterday, 1st December 2018. Both our kids wanted him to be the entertainer and were both not disappointed. Fantastic energy, ?? professionalism, fun, fun fun. I highly recommend him and also book way in advance as he is so busy. Thank you for making my son's birthday party amazing. Thank you.

We have used James D several times now for both my daughters birthday parties over the past few years. Both my daughters have always loved having a James D party. Great entertainment, great parties and always a good laugh for both the kids and adults.

Had Josh at the weekend for my daughters 5th Birthday party, she loved every minute of her party and Josh was great. Both James and Josh are fantastic with the kids. Would highly recommend a James D party.

We attended a party last year with James as the entertainer and we tried to book him immediately afterwards for our daughters 4th birthday. Unsurprisingly he was fully booked!

So I got in early with her 5th birthday! She has been excited for the whole year to have ‘the funny man’ at her party...so cute!

James was fab from start to finish. It amazes me how he keeps the attention of the children who varied in age from 1 to 7 years!

Our daughter had an amazing time, James is very skilled at involving all the children but continually bringing the focus back to the birthday child so they feel super special.

I honestly can’t recommend James enough-I guarantee you won’t be disappointed....we will be back for the next 5th birthday ??

Thanks James ??

James was an absolute win at our son’s 5th birthday party. Would thoroughly recommend. He is great at holding the attention of 25+ children in a way that I couldn’t begin to imagine.

Thank you!

We've had James do our little lady's parties for 4 years now and each and every year his parties are just amazing! Our daughter especially likes it when it's cake time as he makes this very special for them. Thanks so much James we definitely recommend you all the time.

Thank you so much for coming on Sunday. My son Cristiano and all his cousins enjoyed the party. They had so much fun. Would highly recommend you to others and would definitely use you again in the future. Even my dad enjoyed himself. All the adults were praising your good work too and thought you kept children entertained very well.

We had James for our daughters 6th birthday party, we knew how brilliant he already was as we had, had him a year ago for the entertainment for the children at our wedding and he was just amazing.
From start to finish he was outstanding Cerys and her friends had the best time he had them totally mesmorized and entertained as well as the parents!!!! We would never book anyone else Cerys wouldn't let us! Her words "I love him so much, he is the bestest ever"
Thank you James you superstar. X

Josh was absolutely amazing for my 7 year olds party. She's very shy and he was brilliant with her and involved her in everything so well and she had an amazing party.
Thank you so much.

(22.07.18) James was fun, friendly, so helpful and gave us direction with our party. James’ experience and great service was key to how successful our son’s 5th birthday party went. Would 100% recommend and we would definitely love to have James at one of our future parties! Thank you James.

We had James D Party time for my daughters 5th birthday party. I was slightly worried before hand thinking how can one person keep 30 kids entertained for 2 hours! Well I was amazed! Exceeded our expectations by far! He was amazing. I was so impressed. James did everything so I didn’t have to and even lit the candles and did the birthday cake etc. Completely faultless. My daughter as we left said it was the best party ever! All of her school friends said the same thing and I have since received texts from various parents to say how fab the party was! So If you are thinking of a party with child’s entertainer James D is the best! We can’t thank him enough!

Hi James,
Thank you so much for sending Josh to entertain the children at our Country Day yesterday. He did a really marvellous job and is such a lovely person.
So many people commented on the great show that he put on for us and the children all had a fantastic time.
He offered to stay behind to help us clear up at the end of the day which really was greatly appreciated when we were all nearly on our knees!

Thank you so much for all that you have done, and all in a very professional manner. We would have no hesitation in recommending you, so good luck for the future.
Have a great summer!

James was absolutely fantastic he had the whole party entertained from start to finish. My little girl loved him and took to him straight away. I would definitely recommend him to anyone will be using him again.

James fitted in with the free-flow style of our outdoor birthday party perfectly. We also had a wonderful unicorn and lots of other animals from 'Scratby Donkeys' at the party and James showed his incredible diversity and flexibility to entertain in any situation, even with goats, ponies and unicorns around!

We have been to many parties with James D entertaining and our daughter absolutely adores them. The ultimate professional and an absolute pleasure to do business with.

Very impressed and would highly recommend.

Having seen James in action on a Halloween theme party- we knew he was the man to host our twins 8th birthday. We thought we'd also go for the candy floss option too.
James and Lucy have our twins and their friends a really fantastic day to remember - plenty of party games kept the kids entertained, james constantly interacts with the children and had great banter to keep kids andadults chuckling.
He has a great set up, fantastic sound and light system.
Special thanks to Lucy who kept the kids in candy floss thoughout.
Pricing is clear and booking easy.
Cant recommend these guys highly enough, honest, dependable and most of all Fun!
We had some lovely comments from the other kids mums on Monday after the party, it was a huge success.
Thanks again James & Lucy for creating an long lasting memorable day for us.

Josh made our daughters party a complete success. Was completely thrilled with how well he did, and how much the children were in ore of him.

We have had so many compliments about how good Layla’s party was from both the children and their parents, and we have Josh to thank for that.

He was fantastic.

So very pleased.

100% professional, 100% entertaining, 100% would rebook and would 100% recommend.

If you’re having a party...book James D. I can’t make it much clearer than that. He ran the show for our little girls’s 5th birthday party, and was incredible.

His set-up is really professional, he took care of the whole party, keeping kids engaged, getting them to the table for lunch, having the cake cut etc.

Most of all, the kids LOVED him, and he absolutely made the day for them, for us, and for every guest.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Thank you Josh for another brilliant party, this time a joint one with 40 children age 2-7, the children were engaged and entertained for the whole time and everyone loved it. James and Josh are always so professional to deal with, always know the children's and parents'names and always deliver a fantastic party experience. Thank you!

We booked James for my daughters 6th birthday party after seeing how great he was at a friends daughters party. James is incredibly funny and engaging. He manages to make all the children feel important especially the birthday girl or boy! He held all the children’s attention for two hours and they just had such a great time! He is the best entertainer I have ever seen! Even the parents were amazed! I can’t recommend him enough!!

We had James D do the children's entertainment on our wedding day. From start to finish he was brilliant the children were fully entertained every single child joined in and every adult mesmerised . The funniest moment was my husband and brother in law having a space hopper race the children and adults were in hysterics! Every single guest commented how brilliant he was the best entertainer they have ever seen. Our niece had him for her birthday party and our daughter only wanted James D for her birthday party this year! Thank you James you were beyond amazing. X

Thank you so so much for Libby's party today. Libby, her friends and us parents had a great time. Libby rarely joins in at parties and is very shy as you saw when she decided not to speak and I did think she would spend her own party sat on my lap so for her to join in and enjoy herself as much as she did today was truly amazing. We cannot thank you enough. Brilliant!

A huge heartfelt thank you to Josh! I cannot recommend him highly enough. He kept over a dozen 8-9 years olds entertained for 2 hours and gave our daughter a fantastic birthday party with just the right mix of party games and dancing (the bubbles went down a treat too)! Absolutely brilliant-thank you Josh!!

Entertained 4 yr old sons joint party with his friend and it was absolutely brilliant. Had everyone involved and made everyone smile, giggle. One of the best parties ever. Definitely recommend and can't thank him enough. X

Wow what a fantastic party for my son's 5th birthday! Oscar absolutely loved it as well as his friends! So pleased i booked with James d's party time! Josh was fantastic, such a great guy! Can not recommend these guys enough. Once again a massive thankyou for making Oscars party amazing!! Xxx

Had the most awesome 30th Birthday party with James D as our DJ last night. James is just the most amazing guy who knows how to make a fun and memorable party for both children and adults! I didn't even give James a playlist of music that I wanted yet he still played the most perfect tunes and catered to everyone's tastes. James is just the best, a great guy and a fantastic DJ and entertainer, I would not hesitate to book him again and recommend him to everyone!!! Thank you so much James for making my party the fantastic night that it was

Just want to say a massive thank you to James for entertaining approx 50 kids and parents in a small packed village hall on a muggy Sunday afternoon, my daughters 5th birthday party was a huge success and she had a party she will never forget. Everyone had an awesome time and my daughter was made to feel special on her day. Well done James it takes a lot of enthusiasm to entertain that many kids and to keep them entertained. I highly recommend James and Josh.

What can I say other than amazing. James entertained 23 children and their parents at my daughters 5th birthday party on 21st May. We were very lucky to have lots of sunshine which really was the icing on the cake but that aside the way James captured every child's attention making them all feel important whilst always making sure my daughter was indeed the birthday girl was truly impressive. I have no hesitation in recommending James for your party I know I will be booking him again. Thank you again James for an amazing day I'm sure the memories will stay with laney forever.

Thank you James D for my granddaughter's fantastic party today. Children and adults alike had the best time ever, we were all thoroughly entertained from start to finish and the birthday girl Caitlin, was made to feel extra special.
Will only ever hire James D for parties ,he really is the best entertainer absolutely marvellous, everybody left remarking that was the best party they had ever attended.
Thanks again James D for an excellent time.

We have had two James D parties and both were wonderful. James has such a lovely manner, the kids gravitate to him and have a blast and he is a charming professional to deal with. Thanks for all you have done James.
