Questions

Answer - Your Party
Host will call you a few days before your party to go through any questions you
may have and to get a list of all guests attending. However please do not
hesitate to contact us before hand if you need further information.
Question
- Do I need to provide anything for my Be Jewelled entertainer?
Answer - Please
ensure there is adequate clear table and work surface area to accommodate the
number of people attending the event. The floors should be clear of hazards and
there must be at least one easily accessible electricity plug socket available,
not close to a fire exit... and if you could squeeze in a cup of tea on arrival
that would be fantastic! Please refer
to Section D of our terms and conditions for further information.
Question
- What time will my Be Jewelled Parties Party Host arrive to set up for my
party?
Answer - Your entertainer will arrive 15–30 minutes before
your party to set up.
Question
- Will the Be Jewelled Parties Party Host bring a stereo and music?
Answer – Yes; we have a large and varied selection of party
music if required.
Question
- Will my Be Jewelled Parties Party Host be female?
Answer – Yes; all our Party Hosts are female. However, for larger
parties or corporate events specialist entertainers such as balloon modellers,
jugglers and magicians can be male or female.
Question
- Are your parties suitable where there is a mixed age group?
Answer – Yes; each Be Jewelled Party is unique and suited to
your requirements, therefore we can adapt the activities to suit a variety of
ages.
Question
- I have lots of adults staying at this party; will this be okay?
Answer - It is great for parties involving younger children
to have an extra bit of adult help. For older children please give the adults
seats / refreshments in an area furthest away from the party, allowing them to
socialise independent of the party. This will stop noise becoming too
distracting for children, especially parties for 3-6 year olds, and allow the
Party Host to talk too rather than scream at the children.
Question
- Should I hire a hall or can I have the party at home?
Answer - This will depend on the amount of children that
you will be inviting to your party. Be Jewelled Parties do require a reasonable
amount of space for children to sit and create. It is important that children
do not feel crushed as they can get very upset about not having much room. So
if you are thinking of holding a large party hiring a hall is a good idea.
Please refer to Section D of our terms and conditions for further information.
Question
- What should I look for when booking a venue?
Answer –
- Make sure that you will have access to the room at least 30 - 60 minutes before the party starts so that both you and the Party Host can prepare before your guests arrive.
- Allow 30 minutes after the party to clean and pack away.
- Check for cleanliness and how much space you have available making sure it suits your desired number of guests.
- Check how many chairs and tables are available.
- Inquire if you have use of a kitchen for preparing food, drinks and refreshments.
- Make sure there is at least 1 electricity plug socket available and that it is away from any fire exits.
- How adequate the parking is for your guests and more importantly, your party host, who will need close direct access.
- Make sure you have an emergency number of the caretaker in case the venue is not open when you arrive.
- Make sure exiting the venue in an emergency is easy and free from complication (i.e. if your party is not on the ground floor; such as a flat / sports centre etc), and that all necessary fire equipment (i.e. fire extinguishers / blankets etc) are easily accessible.
