Whether they\u2019re spending a moment as a princess, saving the world as a superhero, or turning a seemingly simple room in your home into their own Broadway stage, a child\u2019s everlasting world of make believe allows them to feel continuously inspired by some of the most fantastical experiences. But, what if one of your child\u2019s most dazzling of dreams came true on their birthday? Let us be the first to tell you it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n<p>We believe your child\u2019s birthday is as much a celebration for you as it is for them. For this reason and so many more, Mini Maniacs designs bespoke children\u2019s birthday parties and events in London and beyond that allow imaginations to come alive in new ways. With broad smiles and infectious excitement, children are whisked away on complete journeys of wonder at every Mini Maniacs birthday party, and parents rediscover the joys of their own youthful dreams through their child\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s work together to create a party for your child where we will first listen to their wildest ideas and use our boundless supply of creativity to construct an original theme. We can work together as we select the venue, styling pieces, favours, and sweets, or we can simply arrive with entertainment to wow every guest. Our goal is for you to feel stress free while children explore their every curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>We believe every child should feel like their birthday is complete magic.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<h3 class=\"sc_title sc_title_regular\" style=\"color:#98d1cb;\">Meet the Team<\/h3>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<h4 class=\"sc_title sc_title_regular margin_top_tiny margin_bottom_null\">Rav &#8211; Owner<\/h4>[vc_column_text]I am Rav, owner, event planner, and stylist at Mini Maniacs. A few years ago, I jumped at the chance to work abroad in China because I knew I could glean an incredible amount of knowledge by working in the international events industry. It was a fantastic choice because my experience was nearly indescribable. When I returned to the UK, I was newly inspired and reinvigorated. I knew I wanted to use my eye for design and passion for creativity in new ways throughout London\u2019s event industry, and that\u2019s when I found Mini Maniacs.<\/p>\n<p>Mini Maniacs had always strictly been an entertainment company, but my years of experience taught me to see the brand through a planner\u2019s eye. I knew Mini Maniacs could offer more to parents currently planning birthday parties for their children, so I transformed it into a full-service children\u2019s event planning, styling, and entertainment company. I have the great honour of working with parents and families to create days their children will always remember while leaning on my multi-cultural background and vast amount of industry knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like a gift to be a business owner in an industry that adores serving children, and I feel so fortunate to plan intentional events that allow a child\u2019s dreams to become a reality even just for an afternoon. I sincerely cannot wait to work with you.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<figure class=\"sc_image  sc_image_shape_square\" style=\"width:300px;height:300px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mini-maniacs.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mm-rav.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;45px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<h4 class=\"sc_title sc_title_regular margin_top_tiny margin_bottom_null\">Lea &#8211; Entertainment Manager<\/h4>[vc_column_text]Leanne (Lea)&nbsp; started working with children 9 years ago at the tender age of 16 where she trained as a dance teacher and gained my IDTA teaching qualification, she taught dance to children from the ages of 3-14, also had a second job and became a head gymnast coach gaining her level 1 and level 2 coaching qualifications and worked &nbsp;with children 2-12.
