Thank you Jeeven and Party Central for organising the dholis
I have been in touch with Jeeven, who organises events for Party Central, and he has been a great help. His customer service is excellent. He was very patient and helpful in finding the package best suited to my requirements, even though there were a few changes to timings and dates. Jeeven is a very friendly guy, easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. So thank you, Jeeven, for organising the dholis for me.

Party Central event planning experience
Sanj from Party Central has been absolutely brilliant in helping us find the right DJ package for our event and venue. From the very beginning, he has been so friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful. He has given us lots of great advice, not only about the DJ package but also about the venue, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Sanj and Party Central.

What does a mermaid performer do?
Mermaid performers wear full mermaid tails and costumes and pose, interact and create photo moments. Some perform on a set or by a pool, and some in water where the venue allows it.
They are the centrepiece of under-the-sea themes and a magical surprise at pool parties, summer events and launches.
Where it works best
Pool parties
The perfect focal point by the water.
Under-the-sea themes
The heart of the theme.

Tips from our team
- 1
Check the pool rules
In-water performances depend on the venue's rules and pool safety. We check first.
- 2
Build a set
A shell, rock or seaside set makes the mermaid the photo moment.

Light it blue
Blue and teal uplighting completes the underwater feel.
Frequently asked questions
How much do mermaids cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, because the price of mermaids depends on availability, your date, location and travel, how long you need them and your exact requirements. Send us your date and venue and we will come back with clear options. Quotes are free with no obligation.
Can mermaids swim at our venue?
Sometimes. It depends on the pool, safety and the venue's rules, which we check before confirming.
What time will the mermaids arrive, and how will they look?
They arrive smartly dressed and on time, usually 30 to 45 minutes before the performance, so they are ready the moment you need them. We share arrival times and a contact number with you before the day.
Are your mermaids vetted and insured?
Yes. Every partner is vetted by our team before they are listed. They hold public liability insurance and certificates, carry out risk assessments, and any electrical equipment they bring is PAT tested. Venues often ask for these documents and we can supply them.
How far in advance should I book mermaids?
For weddings and summer weekends, book as early as you can, ideally several months ahead, as the best dates go first. We can often help at short notice too, so it is always worth asking.
Do you cover my area?
Yes. We cover England, Scotland and Wales, and our partners regularly travel abroad for destination weddings. Search your town on our coverage page to see local options.
