Interview with Mary-Jean Harris - Fairytale Princess Parties

Mary-Jean Harris runs Fairytale Princess Parties, a business that provides princess, superhero, and character parties for kids. They offer a range of activities such as story time, games, crafts, and superhero training. Mary-Jean also plans special events like the Princess Club, which helps kids prepare for school. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the business had to adapt by offering video calls and driveway visits. Mary-Jean has plans to expand the business by opening a venue with themed party rooms and potentially an indoor pool for swimming mermaid parties. She finds staff, often university and college students, through auditions and training sessions.
