CHILDREN’S ENTERTAINMENT
MAKE EVENTS WITH CHILDREN
AS EASY AS BIBBITY-BOBBITY-BOO
Children Happy, Clients Relaxed, Everyone Impressed.
Why Are Events Always Like This?
The food's perfect...
The venue looks beautiful...
But the children...
Craft table chaos
Fancy outfits at risk of glue explosions
Pulling adults away
Networking? No time for that.
Bored in never-ending lines
For activities by people who don't even like kids
Frazzling Staff

Your event's success doesn't Have to hinge on whether
5-year-olds behave

Dedicated To Helping
Ever been passed around from sales to support, with details getting lost along the way? Not here. We work as one tight-knit team so your vision, requirements, and questions stay with the same people who understand your event from day one. No dropped details or “that’s not my department” responses, just seamless communication that makes your job easier.
Sunny – Sales Manager
“My theater background taught me how to listen for what clients truly need, not just what they say they want. I’ll translate your event vision into the perfect entertainment package so every detail is captured from our first conversation.”
Bob – Customer Success
“After years in NYC’s high-pressure catering world, I’ve learned that truly successful events happen when clients feel heard, supported, and confident their needs are anticipated before they even ask.”
Been There, Solved That
Meet the executive team that transformed a kitchen-table startup into an entertainment powerhouse serving 2 million children across 54,000 events. This trio combines creative vision with operational precision, designing systems that scale without sacrificing quality or reliability.
Fae Gershenson
Founder + CEO
aka ‘Fae Diddle Diddle’
“I created Happily Ever Laughter because entertainment should be both magical AND reliable. While our celebration leaders bring the wonder, behind the scenes, I’ve built fortress-level systems that prevent disasters. My team trains like athletes, our costumes are designed to last through thousands of high-fives, and your stakeholders will be so impressed, they’ll be proud to say Happily Ever Laughter handled their event.”
Meadow Fichera
Executive Vice President + Creative Strategist
“I design our shows, then build the systems that prevent them from imploding when the client suddenly doubles the headcount. While our competitors scramble with whoever answered their Craigslist ad last week, I’ve spent 15 years creating performers who make your stakeholders think you’ve got event-planning superpowers. You’re welcome.”
Sylvie Keith
Systems + Strategy Manager
“I split my time between managing strategic initiatives for ultra-high-net-worth families and keeping our magic from flying off the rails. Both jobs require the same skills: creating bulletproof systems that handle chaos with style, opening necessary cans of worms, and making the impossible happen while everyone else is still writing their to-do lists.”
The Behind-The-Scenes of Center Stage
While independent contractors show up in generic or worn costumes that blend into the background, our in-house costume and prop team designs one-of-a-kind visual experiences that become event highlights. From luxury-level holiday elves for the Ritz-Carlton to 20 matching pixie witches for Google’s Googleween, they create costumes specifically engineered to stand out in photos and captivate guests, based on years of testing what truly pops at high-end events.
Clarity – Costume & Prop Coordinator
“With 20+ years orchestrating administrative systems across multiple sectors, I make sure every prop and costume detail arrives exactly how you need it.”
Kim – Lead Costume Designer
“I pour my heart into costumes that look stunning, not just in photos, but in action. I test every creation on the dance floor myself so they’re ready for conga lines with toddlers. My favorite moments are dancing with my daughter Fae, who started Happily Ever Laughter after I taught her to sew. :-)”

What if the kids don't like the same things?
Who does!?
But seriously, we know kids are into different stuff which is why we designed our activities to be flexible. They adapt to any group size, age, and interest.
We always have something else in our back pocket to keep the excitement going!
What if something goes wrong?
First, you’re not alone.
Now, remember we’ve done this over 56,000 times since 2006! We’re like event ninjas (but with more glitter).
Attendees running behind schedule? We’ll adjust faster than a Silicon Valley algorithm.
Unexpected extra attendees? The more, the merrier! We have activity plans for all situations.
At Happily Ever Laughter, we’re not just entertainers – we’re your partners in creating unforgettable experiences. So relax, grab an It’s-It (or the whole box, we won’t judge), and lets make some magic!
What do I need to provide?
We’ll handle the entertainment magic while you handle the event essentials. We’ll bring all the activities while you focus on things attendees need like tables, shade, and chairs.
What are the payment options?
We like to keep things easy peasy! We accept most major credit cards or ACH. Payment is required to save any date.
Who shows up to my event? Are they insured?
You will be meeting an employee of Happily Ever Laughter. We never contract outside entertainers because we want full control over quality.
We carry liability insurance (just in case our magic is a bit too powerful!) and you can request a certificate if your location needs one.
We are also covered by a worker’s compensation policy, have background checks, and most of our Performers are CPR certified (you can request a certified Performer if you prefer).
Each employee was selected from the top 5% of graduates from the most extensive training program for children’s entertainers in North America.
How do I book you?
Just tell your planning SecreFaerie any date you need with a rough estimate of attendees and we’ll make a plan!
