"Just
wanted to drop a quick e-mail to say that Anakin and Maul were fantastic
yesterday for my Son's b-day party. Very professional and fun. All the
kids enjoyed the fencing and they all had a blast. My son was very happy
at the end of the day. I will highly recommend to my friends and family about
Swordplay for their B-day or Parties. Thanks again also for all your
help in trying to find me a Maul for our party. He was great and Funny
along with Anakin. My son seems to be taking a interest in fencing after
yesterday and I now know were to go if it's something he wants to learn. "
"The Knights and the Princesses did an incredible job keeping the 50 kids from 3 to 10 years old entertained. They all enjoyed themselves very much. The crew was incredible. My kids wanted to have another party at the same place with the same Knights and Princesses for their 8th Birthday. The whole class was talking about our party."
"I just wanted to let you know that the party was great. Your guys did a wonderful job and the kids were excited. Jack is still wearing the key/medal that Darth Vader gave him and he has informed me he will wear it forever. All the characters were terrific and the costumes were very authentic and believe me these kids are into star wars. It really was great and we will recommend you guys to everyone."
"It might have seemed odd to have Luke, Leia and Darth show up at a 50th birthday party....(and yes all of my guests did think it odd...at the beginning) I really did have a ton of fun. The 3 players were top notch, funny, and never gave us a dull moment. Not only did the adults have fun, but the kids did as well."
"Everything
was great, as promised! My husband, who is an elementary school principal,
was amazed at how entertaining and captivating Obi Wan was. And, that
says a lot for 24 kids ages 2-11!!!! Darth Vader was very funny and
Asoka was a welcome addition (especially for my piece of mind), Obi
was really really really great! I was looking through the photos this
morning and couldn’t help noticing the smiles on the parents and
grandparents faces as well as the kids! I guess we will be talking again
in January as our younger son has already stated that he wants the same
party for this 5th birthday! I’m sure you’ve heard this
all before, but thank you (and the actors!!!!!) for exceeding our expectations."
"Thank you for an awesome party!!!! The surprise blew my son and his classmates away. The show was great and the actors were beyond belief.. I will definitely recommend you to any anyone and everyone."
"The Jedi's were absolutely fantastic and we had the best time celebrating Matthew's 4th birthday with them. Just about every parent that came commented on how engaged they kept all the kids and how well they performed."
"We
throughly enjoyed the show yesterday and wanted to thank the actors
one more time for an excellent job. Their enthusiasm made the party
absolutely memorable for the kids and parents alike. They were great
in character and kept the kids captivated with the story and games."
"I just wanted to drop a quick note to your company to let you know how much my son enjoyed your "Jedi Training" show today at a birthday party in El Segundo. The performers playing Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi was fabulous, as well as the actor portraying Darth Vader. They were very professional, yet extremely entertaining. The children were, including our son, were completely enthralled, which is saying something for 5 and 6 years olds. Even the adults (parents) were amused by the actors' wit and their ability to keep the group of children under control and entertained. Bravo to an outstanding show!!!"
"I just wanted to let you know what a great job Darth Sidius and Luke did at my son, Sam's party on Saturday. Sam could not have been more excited to see them. They were absolutely wonderful with the kids and the adults at the party enjoyed them as well. I will definitely recommend Swordplay to anyone who is looking for something fun and unique for their kids' parties."
"My wife and I wanted to express how much we loved your pirates. Both “Jack Sparrow” and “Elizabeth” were far beyond our expectations. Jack’s swagger and hand motions are a dead-on likeness from the movie. And Elizabeth was even prettier than Kiera Nightly and was wonderful with the kids. They are so convincing that our 5-year old really believes that THE Captain Jake Sparrow and Elizabeth came to his party."
"I just want to let you know how happy we were with Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. Everyone had a wonderful time. The guys put on a great show and I loved how they interacted with all the kids. Both the kids and the parents were so entertained. As you promised they arrived on time. Everyone couldn't believe how much they look like the real Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. Thanks again for a job well done!!! I highly recommend your services."
"This past Saturday was our son Jack's 8th birthday party, attended by all his friends and starring the superb entertainers from Swordplay. It was a resounding success, not only because the kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly and were engaged and enthralled at all times but also because of the skill and professionalism of Sir Prize and Sir Loin of Beef. They were funny, entertaining, never broke character and led the kids on adventure after adventure with genuine good nature and appropriate humor. When the time arrived for Jack to receive his medallion from Sir Loin of Beef, there was an amazing look of pride on his face as well as awe in the faces of all his friends who looked on. Even several parents (myself included) were choked up at the spectacle of Jack taking a knee and being knighted. We want to thank you for a fantastic and memorable time and look forward to seeing you again in the future."
"Thank you so much for another wonderful party. The party was fantastic and we really enjoyed our show. OB1 was out of this world… Thank you for making it easy and stress free."
"Just
wanted to thank you so much for a great party! The kids were
sooo surprised to see a Jedi show up as they were out there playing “Star
Wars”
at the park. And if that weren’t enough, when Darth appeared,
they were beside themselves! I still have some of them asking
me how the Jedi and Darth got home that day…they pulled it off
perfectly! Thank you!"
"We just wanted to take a minute to thank you (and your staff) for the birthday party appearance at our house. Zach and his friends had a wonderful time, and the actors (somehow!) managed to get 11 kids, aged 4 through 9, to behave, listen, and act properly, even with foils in their hands. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would never have believed it possible. So, truly -- our thanks go out to everyone there."
"I wanted to extend my heartfelt thank you and appreciation for your team! Luke and Darth were nothing short of brilliant! Luke did an amazing job, with enthusiasm, realness and humor. Darth was the ideal combination of heart-stoppingly scary and playfully fun-loving (how is this even possible?!)
They both put on an unbelievably fabulous performance, and Joseph and his friends are still raving about what a good time they had. My son makes a point of telling people very solemnly that he met the REAL Luke Skywalker. For him, this is serious business! In fact, throughout the party it was hard to catch him crack a smile. I think he fell into constant state of shock and awe. His medallion from Darth Vadar is very special to him, I can assure you."
"My
son's party earlier today was a giant success because of your wonderfully
skilled, energetic, funny, and captivating Swordsmen. After 12 boys
arrived at my house to celebrate my son's 10th birthday and began running
around in a testosterone tornado, I thought the time for your arrival
would never get here. But it did, in fact your team arrived early. I
watched as bedlam turned into complete joyful rapt attention for a full
hour and a half. It was exciting for all of us, parents too. Thank you
so much for a great show, lesson, and attitude! It will be my pleasure
to pass along your name to both parent friends and professional contacts."
"Thank you so much for everything on Nicholas' birthday...the 2 guys you sent were spectacular..so many parents wanted their info...and most of all..Nicholas felt wonderful...and the guys really helped with that..they were amazing."
"We
had a blast today with Obi Wan and Darth Maul! Jack
was so surprised as were all of the boys...and amped up! Needless
to say they will remember this for a long time. Thanks again,
you were a pleasure to work with which I appreciate so much given the
time of year. Several people were interested in your card..."
"Just want to say a special thanks to everyone at Swordplay. Obi Wan and Darth Mall were fantastic - the kids and adults had so much fun. It really made for an unforgettable party. On Monday morning my little 5 year old grandson started giggling and said, "Wasn't it funny seeing Obi Wan eat spaghetti and Darth Mall eat a chili dog??!!" The guys were just great."
"The children that came actually thanked me for inviting them and said that it was the coolest party they have ever attended. The adults were as impressed and enjoyed the party just as much as the children. I was most impressed by the actors who were hilarious and never dropped out of character. We were treated so well that I actually missed them when we left. They truly exceeded my expectations. Obi and Darth Vader were courteous and patient with the children but also provided boundaries to ensure that the children would enjoy the whole experience. I thought that was just awesome, true professionals. I have been raving to everyone about Swordplay. Once again thank you and keep doing what you are doing. I’ll be back next year."
"I
was REALLY impressed with the superheroes and I’m not easily impressed.
I’ve seen a lot of groups who claim to “entertain” kids.
They are not always appropriate or professional. Your superheroes
were really professional and really good with the kids and very appropriate.
The kids ADORED them."
"The
hour long show kept the kids and adults entertained. The well choreographed
sword fight was exciting for the kids and adults alike. And their professionalism
and stamina was commendable in the stifling summer heat."
"I just wanted to let you know how wonderful the pirates were that came to my son's party today. The kids and parents were absolutely enthralled. It was a spectacular party."
“Jack” and “Will” were awesome. The kids loved them, the adults loved them. They did a fabulous job. The kids were engaged the whole time. You should have heard the dramatic drop in noise level the minute your guys got here. It was amazing how 30 extremely loud kids can be so quiet and attentive. It was really really great!! One little boy said “this is the best party I’ve ever been to, I’m doing this for my next birthday”. I gave out your name to everyone.
"We were delighted with the pirate fencers' performance -- both children and adults alike were thoroughly entranced. I could not believe that their performance filled the entire party since I certainly could not have kept the group of rambunctious children entertained for so long. Really -- they were perfect in every way and I would not hesitate to recommend your service to others. It was exactly what I expected and more. Again, thank you for making my son's party a big success. I couldn't have done it without the outstanding talent and marvelous performance of your fencers."
"The kids really enjoyed hunting for treasure with Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. They truly stepped out of the movie set and into the party.
It was amazing how Dan & Dustin took on the parts of the kids beloved Pirates of the Caribbean characters and the way the wielded their talents and sword fights captivated both the children and the parents. Their efforts, wit and humor were not lost on anyone. They kept the children busy and happy and the parents laughing. We have great respect and admiration for both of these fine actors.
Our daughter says it was the greatest party ever and her friends were
talking about it the next week."
"Hillcrest Middle School Council would like to thank you for helping to make our "Hillcrest Night at the Oscars" banquet, a great success. The generous time and talent of Rusty ("Master Will Turner") and TJ ("Captain Jack Sparrow") were the highlight of our evening. Their excellent performances left such a great impression, that many of our students are still speaking of it days later. Especially, the awestruck young ladies they left behind. Your generous contribution made the evening unforgettable and immensely appreciated."
"I
have to tell you how much the kids enjoyed today's party. Your colleagues
were totally professional and truly entertaining. My son, who often
shies away from being the center of attention but didn't mind at all
being asked to flex his muscles, help defeat the bad guy, and find the
treasure. My sister, who participates with the Port Royal Privateers,
was very impressed with the characters, the clever banter and the fighting.
There's just something about that loud clang when the swords connect.
Even my neighbor couldn't resist peeking through the fence slats. Thank
you again for helping to make my son's birthday a truly memorable event."
"It is a day the children will remember for the rest of their lives"
"[My son] was SOOOOO very happy, and it made it one of his best birthdays ever. The two young men were funny, entertaining and really managed to keep the kids interested, as well as the adults. Thank you once again, and hopefully my friends will consider your services for their next parties!!!!"
"This is just a short note Thanking your wonderful staff. Prior to the "pirates" arriving we had an accident with one of the children at the party. The child is wonderfully fine, Thank God, but your staff arrived right after the incident and turned the party around. Back to the fun it was intended to be. Your pirates were great and the children cannot stop talking about them (instead of the accident). I really want to thank your staff for a job well done, and for saving a little boys 6th birthday!"
"They thought you were the real thing [pirates] (you were acting, were you not?)"
"I saw you in the Palisades today. You were terrific. I handed out all of your cards."
"We will definitely recommend Swordplay to our friends for future birthday parties."
"Our son's friends had a great time and their parents were talking about the party for days."
