How far ahead should you book?
Whenever suits you — there's no cut-off. Booking a few weeks ahead helps lock in a busy weekend, but plenty of parties are booked at short notice too. The best move is simple: fill in the booking form or call or text 0432 622 157, and Picco will tell you right away whether your date is free.
A good children's entertainer can have popular weekends booked out ahead of time, so if you already know your date, getting in early gives you the best pick of times. But don't let a soon date stop you — dates open up, and it always costs nothing to ask.
The busiest times to book
Some dates go faster than others. Plan a little earlier for:
- Saturdays — by far the most requested day, and the first to fill.
- School holidays — demand jumps as families plan parties and events.
- The lead-up to Christmas — corporate family days and end-of-year parties book out early.
- Warmer months — spring and summer outdoor parties are popular.
If your party lands in one of these windows, aim for the longer end of the lead time.
Booking at the last minute
Short notice is completely fine — a lot of parties come together quickly, and it's always worth asking. Cancellations happen, weekday and off-peak dates are often wide open, and gaps appear all the time. If your party is only days or a week or two away, don't assume it's too late: fill in the booking form or give Picco a quick call on 0432 622 157 and you'll know straight away whether the spot is still available.
How to lock in your date
Booking is quick: tell Picco your date, suburb, roughly how many kids, and what you're after — magic, face painting, balloons, or a mix. Call or text 0432 622 157, or fill in the online booking form, and you'll have confirmation and a quote within 24 hours.
