Frequently Asked Questions
Below you'll find two sections: one FAQ for booking, and one FAQ for mermaid information
What happens if I book you for an outside party and it rains?
You have two options if it rains:1. We reschedule for the closest possible date that fits both my schedule and yours. This may be the next day, or the next weekend, and if we're very unlucky, perhaps a few weeks later. We will always make an effort to make sure you're fit in as soon as possible. 2. If you would like to guarantee a back up rain date as opposed to waiting, this can be arranged with an added 50$. We will then confirm that I am booked for not only your party but your back up day as well, and will not book any other events on that back up day. We also have our own canopy tent for outside to protect against the rain.
Do you Rent Your Tails?
No we do not, however we are preparing to offer rental tails for kids in the future.
Do you sell tails for kids?
Not at this time, but we are planning to in 2014.
Can you walk in your costume?
No We can't. We have assistants that help us get around. We do swim.
I'd like to book you for an event outside of Halifax, will you do it?
Yes. Please contact us. Travel fees incur.
Will you do my event for free?
We have a strict budget for the amount of freebies we do in a year. Please do not feel offended if we can't accommodate yours.
I represent a company that would like to send you our product to review, do you accept these sorts of things?
Occasionally, especially if the product is Eco-friendly. Your best bet is to send us an email to discuss.
I see a photo of my child on your website or facebook, and I don't want it there. What do I do?
Please send us an email and let me know the link to the image and we'll remove it. For every event we work we ask specifically for permission in writing or email to display images. However, in public events like parades etc we are unable to ask. We always stick with the side of parents, so if you change your mind, or don't feel you were asked, please let us know and we'll remove the image.
