How much does a kids' party entertainer cost in Ireland?

A children's entertainer keeps the kids busy while the adults talk, which is why they are booked for communions, christenings and birthdays. Two Dublin companies publish detailed price lists, checked on 7 November 2026.

Face painting and balloon animals

From Genie Mackers, covering Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare and Meath:

Magic show and party games

Genie Mackers' "Magical Mackers" package includes a magic show, parachute games, a bubble disco, party games and puppets for under 6s:

Face and arm painting is €10 extra and balloon twisting €5 extra on the shorter packages, and both are included in the 2 hour package. Genie Mackers lists a €15 travel fee past Swords and outside Dublin.

Funland publishes its themed parties, including magic, princess and superhero parties, for ages 3 to 9:

Funland covers Dublin, Meath, Kildare, Wicklow and Westmeath, and says it brings all props and equipment. You provide clear floor space and a power socket.

Communion days cost more

Genie Mackers charges between €50 and €60 more for the same package on a communion day, by its own price list. If you want a particular entertainer for a communion Saturday, ask about availability early.

Entertainment for adults too

Genie Mackers also lists a kids and adults magic combo, with a children's show followed by close-up magic for the adults, from €375 for an hour (€390 on a communion day) to €475 for two hours (€490 on a communion day).

Prices are as published on each company's website on 7 November 2026. Confirm the price, travel fee and what is included when you book.
