Meet & Greets
If you want to meet a mermaid, but you don't want the fuss of a big party or event, never fear, I have just the thing! Meet and greets are the perfect way to meet a mermaid one on one!
I can come to your home, private pool booking, apartment complex pool, public lake or beach (negotiable depending on location and weather). Swims at public pools may be possible, depending on the pool's policies. Before booking you need to call the pool to assure that a mermaid would be allowed to swim there during public access hours, and in an area with the children. Different pools have different rules, so this is very important to check. If you wish to add on photography you need to check with said pool that above and/or underwater photography is allowed, as some pools have a no camera policy.
If you want to surprise a special person with a mermaid meet and greet, I can arrange for that as well! Mermaid sightings allow for that special person to be surprised when they "happen upon" a mermaid in on a beach, in a lake, or even a fountain! (Seasonal- weather and location allowing.)
Meet & Greet Package, swimming package:
1 hour mermaid swim with 1 or 2 child guests $55
1 hour mermaid swim with up to 5 child guests $70
Deposit required to book: $27

Above water photography with editing- $40
Underwater footage with personalized video- $25

This includes: A hand made shell necklace for the little mermaid to keep, loaner accessories for the duration of the swim (bracelets, rings, earrings, hair clips- all mermaid themed and hand made), and mermaid glitz of eye safe sparkles and stick-on gems and/or pearls.
Meet & Greet, dry package:
Ideal for hospital visits, dry meetings on the beach (weather permitting), home visits, and more.
1 hour mermaid dry land visit with 1 or 2 child guests: $40
1 hour mermaid dry land visit with up to 5 child guests: $50
Deposit required to book: $20

Please note: Time needed to apply face glam, glitter tattoos, or makeovers during a “wet” party will cut into swim time. Therefore, I recommend that you allow additional booking time for these activities.
