I live in the North Shore of Boston, MA and am looking to rent an Elmo character for my daughter's birthday party. I have been searching online but am wondering if anyone locally (I live in Beverly, MA) has done this & can recommend someone/company?
Try www.charactercostumerental.org . They have great looking costumes to rent at great prices. They also pay for the shipping to you and each character also comes with a party cd that is yours to keep.
I DID have luck with "All About Fun" in Topsfield / Boxford (can't remember which town).
We rented an "Elmo" and he/she came with a coordinator that helped the kids with a parachute, singing, etc. It was definitely great. Can't remember what we paid (I think $225.? plus they had a gas charge which seemed lame but whatever). They were very professional and walked all the way up our street (which is a big hill) to surprise the kids in the back yard last August. A friend told me that was big money but I didn't have to do a thing & it was for well over an hour (may even have been 2 hours...which we didn't need). All about fun - 978-887-1001.
Tell them Meredith in Beverly sent you!
