BaliKidsParty entertainer performing a magic show for children at a Bali birthday

An entertainer can carry a party or sink it, so this is the part of my team I am most protective of. Every host and performer who works under the BaliKidsParty name has gone through reference checks with previous clients, a trial event alongside one of our senior hosts, and our own safety briefing — because as a mum of two, I will not send anyone to your villa I would not happily leave at my own kitchen table. What you get is not a stranger with a speaker: it is a professional who reads the room, rescues the shy kid, redirects the wild one, and lands the cake moment on time.

Entertainment Options

Party Hosts & Game Leaders

The backbone of every great party: 60–120 minutes of hosted games, treasure hunts and dance-offs, matched to the age group and energy level.

Magic Shows

A 30–45 minute interactive show where the birthday child is the star assistant. Works best for ages 4–9, right after food and before the cake.

Bubble & Science Shows

Giant bubbles, fog tricks and safe wow-chemistry — the reliable jaw-dropper for mixed-age groups and the best photos of the day.

Mascots & Characters

Popular characters for grand entrances and photo sessions. We keep mascot slots short (15–20 minutes) — sweaty costumes and Bali afternoons are a serious combination.

Matched to Age, Language and Energy

The number-one reason entertainment falls flat is an age mismatch: a magician for two-year-olds is chaos, and party games designed for toddlers insult a nine-year-old. When you message us we ask three questions — age, headcount, languages — and recommend a programme, not just a person. Toddler groups get bubbles, parachute play and music; ages 5–8 get magic and mission games; tweens get tournaments and challenges with real prizes. For teen parties we skip the clown energy entirely and send DJs and activity hosts instead.

Bali's international crowd means language matters. All our entertainers host in fluent English; Russian-speaking hosts are available on request and book out fast in Canggu and Berawa, so flag it early. At mixed parties our hosts switch languages mid-game so no child stands at the edge. Entertainers are included in Classic and Grand party packages, and pool-side sessions always run with our lifeguard watching the water — the host entertains, the lifeguard guards, never one person doing both.

How It Works

  1. Tell us age and headcount

    Plus languages and anything special — a shy birthday child, a superhero obsession, a child with sensory sensitivities. It all shapes who we send.

  2. Get a programme proposal

    We recommend the entertainer and a minute-by-minute programme with a fixed price in IDR.

  3. Pre-party check-in

    Your host messages you the day before to confirm timing, music and the pronunciation of your child's name.

  4. Show time

    The entertainer arrives 30 minutes early, syncs with the decor and cake schedule, and hands the party back to you for the candles.

Entertainment Pricing

Party hosts start from IDR 900,000 per hour (most parties book two hours). Magic shows are IDR 1,800,000 for a 45-minute interactive set, bubble shows from IDR 1,500,000, and mascot appearances from IDR 1,200,000 including costume and handler. Bundling an entertainer into a full package saves 15–20% versus booking separately — all rates are on the pricing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your entertainers background-checked?
Yes — references from previous clients are verified, every performer trials alongside a senior host before working solo, and a named BaliKidsParty coordinator is reachable throughout your event.
Do you have Russian-speaking entertainers?
Yes, on request — about half our Canggu and Berawa families ask for bilingual hosting. Russian-speaking hosts book out first in high season, so mention it in your first message.
What age does a magic show work for?
Ages 4–9 is the sweet spot. Younger children do better with bubbles and music; tweens prefer tournaments and mission games. We will steer you honestly rather than sell the wrong show.
Can the entertainer run pool games?
Yes — but only with a lifeguard on the water, which is exactly how our pool parties are staffed. The host runs the fun; the lifeguard watches the pool. We never combine the two roles.
How long should entertainment last?
Two hours of hosting covers a three-hour party perfectly: arrival free-play, 60–75 minutes of games, food break, show or craft, cake. Longer than that and the host is babysitting, not entertaining.
