Magical Memories Princess Parties

Kristen Anderson founded Magical Memories Princess Parties nearly a decade ago, turning her passion for children's entertainment into a thriving local business that brings characters to life through personalized, fun, and meaningful experiences.

In New Brunswick, a touch of magic blossomed with the creation of Magical Memories Princess Parties, founded by Kristen Anderson. Nearly a decade ago, with just one costume made by a local seamstress for Halloween, Kristen's passion for entertainment took off after a visit to a cousin’s birthday party. There, the joy she saw in the children's faces ignited a desire to bring magic to young hearts everywhere. This sparked the beginning of her business—a children’s entertainment company with a unique approach to fun.

Magical Memories Princess Parties brings beloved characters to life, from princesses and superheroes to whimsical elves. But that's not all—recently, Kristen expanded her services with magical sleepovers and picnic parties, transforming spaces into enchanting wonderlands with charming tents, tables, and décor. These offerings provide unforgettable experiences that children will cherish forever.

Though Kristen's journey has been magical, it wasn’t without its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles she faced was casting. Acting is demanding on its own, but when paired with the responsibility of entertaining large groups of children while staying in character, it requires a special kind of talent. Yet, with persistence, Kristen found the perfect team to bring her vision to life. Most recently, her team worked for months perfecting the look and feel of the new sleepover and picnic parties. Their dedication has paid off, and they’re ready to share this new chapter with their customers.

Throughout the growth of Magical Memories Princess Parties, Kristen’s commitment to fun, education, and ethical values has never wavered. Every interaction is designed to spark joy, teach children important life lessons like kindness, empathy, and respect, and provide meaningful experiences. Her business has evolved from a single costume to a roster of around 30 characters, all dedicated to bringing enchantment to every celebration.

Crucial to her success has been the support of her local credit union. Unlike large banks, her credit union offers a personalized banking experience, lower fees, and decisions made with members' best interests at heart. For Kristen, this relationship aligns with her core values of community and personalized service, allowing her to grow her business while staying true to her ethical principles.

For Kristen, supporting local businesses like hers is more than a business practice—it’s a way to strengthen the community. By choosing local entertainment, families not only get unique and personalized experiences but also help sustain jobs, empower local performers, and contribute to the cultural vibrancy of the area. The passion and care that local businesses infuse into their services create truly one-of-a-kind experiences.

Through dedication, creativity, and community support, Magical Memories Princess Parties continues to thrive, bringing a touch of magic to every event.
