Gemma

Hi I am Gemma, I am 22 years young! I started this journey in the Spring of 2014 as a girl in a Princess dress. Today, I am the owner & managing director of this amazing company. Having performed for many years myself, I have now transferred my performance knowledge into providing 5* entertainment. I am currently studying a degree in Dance and Psychology, and have previously completed a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing Arts, Graded Ballet, Musical Theatre, Street Dance and Level 3 Childcare! In 2019 I gained an Academy Diploma in Face Painting, and Children's Entertainment, Party & Event Planning.

I created Little Gem Princess Events, following my wild dreams and I have never once looked back. Ever since I was a little girl, she dreamed of becoming a real Princess. Little did I know my dreams would become reality! 👑

My favourite character is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She is a strong minded, independent, imaginative thinker who loves to read and speaks her mind!

Sophie

My name is Sophie Van Der Waal

I’m 22 years old and I’m currently studying Fashion Design at University. I started dancing and musical theatre at 4 years old and trained vocationally until I was 18. I trained at Bath Dance College where I learnt classical and modern dance along with singing and acting. From 18 I started to dance competitively and I continue to compete in cheerleading. I have taught musical theatre all around the world and have just come back from teaching dance in Australia. I also worked with Stagecoach Schools working with the early years 4+ in musical theatre and movement.

My favourite character is Jasmine because she is strong and stands up for what she believes in; she is her own person and that makes her special!

My favourite character in the world is a hard choice. However, of choose Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons because he is very cute!

Millie

I trained locally and after graduating I went onto work professionally touring the country doing production shows and pantomimes.

Saskia

Maisie

I have been performing since the age of 4 when I started dancing a variety of styles including Ballet, Jazz and Tap. I have taken part in a number of musicals including Miss Saigon, Spring Awakening, Billy Elliot, Factory Girl in Les Miserables and Miss Lynch in Grease. However, this year I am taking on the role as a Musical Director for my university’s production of Our House. I was previously a member of a choir and acapella group that made it to the national stages of a music competition where I performed at Birmingham Symphony Hall. I also have a Grade 8 in Flute and Music Theory, and a Grade 7 in Piano, as well as being a well-established musical theatre vocalist.

I would have to say Belle is my favourite character because in my opinion she has the best songs and best outfits, she’s so intelligent, and she has a rough start but through patience and kindness she finds her true love.
