“Western Wisconsin Health has worked with Occasions with Character LLC for a number of our Open House events with over 1000 community participants as well as our Dash to Disney Community Challenge with 500-700 community participants. Melissa and the entire OWC team are amazing - they are professional, timely, in character and the handmade attire for each character is just incredible. OWC has made so many of our events very special for our community - from photos and dancing to story time and hugs! Thank you to all of our storybook characters and superheroes for the beautiful contributions you make to each of our Western Wisconsin Health events.”

“I have been blown away by how wonderful each and every event is! My daughter loves princesses and her love is all the stronger because of Occasions with Character. The characters go the extra mile- they are so good with children while being "in character" every single step of the way! These events have been some of my daughter's most beloved memories. We now live across the U.S. from where the group hosts events and I have no doubt that we will try to time our trips back home so that we can see them again! We love them!!!!!!”
- Lauren Oland, parent

“Occasions with Character offered library visitors a magical performance with lots of audience participation for even the youngest. The actors posed for photographs and stayed in character until the last child left the room.”
-Angela Petrie, Stillwater Public Library

“The Occasions with Character performers were all amazing, and the way that they interact with the children is superb! The interactive storytime was great for promoting literacy and a perfect additional program to draw people to the library.”
-Carol Plocher, Library Services Coordinator, Great River Regional Library-Delano

“The program itself was an elegant touch of fantasy for the whole audience, and the interaction with the audience was priceless.”
-Mary Davis, Youth Services, Hudson Area Public Library
“I can not thank Occasions with Character enough for surprising my daughter on her birthday at lunch! Not every little girl can say that she had her favorite princess/heroine dance with her, read a story with her and sing happy birthday to her. She was in awe the entire time. As her mom it almost brought me to tears seeing how mesmerized she was… She still talks about her. Thank you for making my daughter feel so special and lucky on her birthday. She will remember this for years to come.”
– Rochelle Ladick, parent

“Occasions With Character presented the Midnight Ball Princess (Lost Slipper Storytime) at our Storytime and it was a great hit! The performers remained in character from the moment they entered and the costumes were wonderful. The audience was enchanted and everyone had a great time!”
– Janet Waller, Community Business Development Manager, Barnes & Noble HarMar Mall
