HIRE A MERMAID

New Zealand Event and Party Entertainers

Hi, I’m Fi, founder of Making Mermaids. As a parent, I remember wanting to create something magical for my child’s birthday—a themed party filled with wonder, excitement, and believable performers. But finding high-quality, professional entertainers who could bring the magic of mermaids to life was very difficult. That’s when I realised: New Zealand needed real Mermaids and Pirates!

That’s one of the reasons I founded Making Mermaids—a place where talented mermaid performers across Aotearoa could easily connect with parents, businesses, event planners to perform, entertain, and inspire at themed events. Our trained mermaids bring parties and special occasions to life with interactive storytelling, underwater performances, games, hostessing and educational experiences.

So if you’re looking to make your next event truly unforgettable, let us bring the magic of mermaids to you!

We recently hired three mermaids from Making Mermaids for an underwater advertising campaign, and we couldn't be more impressed! From the moment they arrived, it was clear we were working with true professionals. Their tails were of the highest quality—visually stunning and incredibly lifelike on camera. What really set them apart was their ability to perform effortlessly underwater. Our photographer was amazed at how they could immediately adapt to the environment, striking graceful poses and delivering exactly what we needed without hesitation. Their experience as freedivers and underwater performers made the entire shoot seamless, allowing us to capture breathtaking shots without delays.
