How can I contact you?
You can reach us by email at gemstonemermaids@gmail.com or submit our contact form and we'll get back to you in a splash!
How many mermaids do I need?
The number of mermaids needed depends on your event's size. For smaller gatherings like birthday parties, one mermaid and an assistant are usually enough, but larger events, like renaissance faires, may require more. If you're hosting a smaller event, you're always welcome to book additional mermaids! While bigger events must meet the minimum mermaid requirement based on attendee count, smaller events can book multiple mermaids if desired. Reach out to us, and we’d be happy to help determine the best number for your event!
How do I pay?
We prefer payment through our digital invoice, but we also gladly accept cash and check as well! 50% of your event total is due upon booking to secure your event's date, and the remainder is due on the morning of the event date. If you are extra satisfied with your entertainment, we are thankful for any tips you may wish to give to your performer!
Do I need to prepare anything for the event?
Our performers have restricted mobility while in tail and will need time for their assistant(s) to set up the performance area and help transport our mermaid(s) to and from. We require all clients to have a designated place where our performers can transform from feet to fins in private. For larger events, we require adequate additional space to set up a 10x10 changing room for our performers.
What is the booking process?
Once you reach out for a quote for your event, a digital contract will be sent over including all important details of your event. The contact will be sent via email and electronically signed by both parties. After the contract is signed, your 50% deposit must be received to secure your event date. Your remaining balance will be due the morning of your event.
