Oli the magician was amazing! So great with the kids, so funny, and he had all the adults scratching their heads in confusion trying to figure it out.

Questions parents ask

More questions? Read the full FAQ
How fast can I actually book someone?

Most parents see confirmed availability within about two hours. You tell us about your party, we check real calendars with vetted local entertainers, and we email you options you can book on the spot — no phone tag, no waiting days for a quote. We keep checking with new pros for up to about 2 hours to find you the best matches.

How does pricing work? Are there hidden fees?

Each entertainer sets their own transparent price, shown upfront as a clear "from" rate. You see the full price before you book — no surprise booking fees. If your venue is far from the city center a small travel fee may apply, and we'll always confirm that before you pay.

Are your entertainers vetted and insured?

Yes. Every entertainer on Yombu is identity-checked and reviewed before they can take bookings, and we only work with pros who carry liability insurance. The reviews you see come from real, completed bookings — never anonymous ratings.

Is my money safe until the party happens?

Yes — this is the heart of how Yombu protects you. When you book, your payment is held safely and only released to the entertainer after your event. If something goes wrong, that protection is what makes it right. You're never paying a stranger and hoping for the best.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Plans change, especially with kids. Cancel up to 7 days before your event for a full refund, free of charge. Cancel after that and you're refunded 50% of what you paid. You can reschedule or move indoors free of charge up to 48 hours before the start time. See our refund policy for the full details.
