If you want the best birthday party planner Singapore parents and hosts actually rave about in 2026, this is my shortlist. Throwing a memorable party, whether it is a four-year-old's superhero theme or a milestone 40th, is a surprising amount of work: entertainment, decor, a cake table, games, food, and someone to run it all so you are not refilling the popcorn machine during your own celebration. The right planner makes it effortless.
I went through the Singapore party planners that genuinely deliver, weighing their entertainment and activity range, their experience with kids versus adult events, their reviews and client roster, and their safety and food credentials. The eight below are the teams I would trust with a birthday or private party.
This is one of my Terris Recommends events guides. For a company-wide event with staff families see my best family day companies in Singapore guide, and if you just need the games and booths, see my best carnival rental companies in Singapore guide.
Key Takeaways
- 1 A good party planner takes the whole thing off your plate: entertainment, decor, games, food and setup, so you can actually enjoy your own kid's party instead of running it.
- 2 For an all-in-one kids and private party service, Party People is my first call. For a dedicated kids-entertainment specialist, Jellybean Party has been doing it since 2010.
- 3 Kids party packages commonly start around S$300 to S$800 for core entertainment, with full themed parties running S$1,000 to S$3,000 or more once you add decor, food and a venue.
- 4 If there are live food stations, check the caterer is SFA-licensed and the operator is insured. With children around inflatables and games, safety and supervision are what you are paying for.

What to look for in a party planner
The best party planners do two things well: they bring genuinely good entertainment, and they take the logistics off you. For kids that means engaging performers (a magician, a balloon sculptor, a games host), the right activities for the age group, and a setup that runs to time without melting down. For adult and private parties it shifts towards decor, atmosphere, food and drinks, and entertainment that suits the crowd. A good planner reads the occasion and pitches the package accordingly.
Safety and food are the two things I would not skip checking. If there are live food stations, the caterer should be SFA-licensed, and for inflatables, games and any setup, I want a BizSafe-certified, insured operator. With children around bouncy castles and equipment, supervision and proper cover are exactly what a professional planner is for.
On cost, kids party packages commonly start around S$300 to S$800 for core entertainment, with fully themed parties running S$1,000 to S$3,000 or more once you add decor, food stations and a venue. Larger private and milestone events scale up from there. Tell the planner your budget and headcount so they package to it.
1. Party People
Party People is my first call for an all-in-one party, because they genuinely cover the whole spread under one roof: kids birthday entertainment (magic, balloon sculpting, face painting, bouncy castles), carnival game and arcade rentals, live food stations, decoration and even adult and corporate celebrations. For a host who wants one team to handle everything, that breadth is the selling point.
They are also properly credentialed for it, BizSafe Level 3, registered on GeBIZ and Vendor@Gov, publicly insured and SFA-approved, which matters the moment you have food and inflatables in the mix. For a fuss-free, end-to-end party with everything sorted, they are an easy recommendation.

Best known for: All-in-one kids, private and corporate parties with entertainment, rentals and food
2. Jellybean Party
Jellybean Party is the dedicated kids-party specialist, and the track record speaks for itself: running since 2010 and, by their count, more than 120,000 happy kids and parents served. When a company has done this many children's parties, they have seen every meltdown and every wow moment, and it shows in how smoothly they run the show.
Their bread and butter is entertainment, signature magic shows, balloon sculpting, face painting, slime and Nerf workshops, pool parties and bouncy castles, with fuss-free packages built around them. They have even handled events for the likes of Facebook, DBS and MediaCorp. For a kids party where the entertainment has to land, they are my pick.

3. Happier Singapore
Happier Singapore is a strong pick when the party is as much about the look and atmosphere as the entertainment. They lean into event decoration, elaborate balloon arrangements, garlands, arches, backdrops and sculptures, alongside entertainment, food carts and full planning for both private birthdays and corporate celebrations. Their glow-in-the-dark party setups are a nice signature.
With over a decade of experience and clients including Google, Citibank, JP Morgan and various ministries, they bring a polished, design-led touch. For a milestone birthday, a baby shower or a styled private party, they are an excellent choice.

4. FunCo
FunCo is the pick when the party is all about the games. They carry a genuinely huge carnival catalogue, more than 200 game booths, from traditional marble and tikam-tikam games to giant Jenga and Connect 4, plus inflatables, arcade machines and water games. For a kids party or a bigger celebration that you want to feel like a mini funfair, they have the variety to fill it.
Beyond games they handle live food stations, fringe activities like face painting and balloon sculpting, and event planning, so they can take a party from booth rental up to a full setup. A great choice for a fun, games-led birthday.

5. Electric Dreamz
Electric Dreamz is my pick when the party leans adult, a VIP, pool or disco party, or a private celebration that needs proper sound and lighting. Alongside corporate events and dinner and dance, they handle party planning for birthdays, weddings and private events, and crucially they own the AV side, sound systems, lighting, LED walls and projectors, so the atmosphere is dialled in.
Based at Shaw Centre on Scotts Road, they pitch themselves as a low-cost, one-stop solution and have worked with a range of schools and organisations. For a grown-up private party where the vibe matters, they are a smart choice.

They are also ISO 9001:2015 certified, a real mark of process quality.

Carnival Empire brings their carnival expertise to private parties, which suits a big birthday or a large family celebration that you want to feel like a mini funfair.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a birthday party planner cost in Singapore?
Kids party packages commonly start around S$300 to S$800 for core entertainment like a magic show, games host and a couple of activities. A fully themed party with decor, food stations and a venue typically runs S$1,000 to S$3,000 or more, and larger private or milestone events scale up from there. Tell the planner your budget and guest count so they can build a package to fit.
What is usually included in a kids party package?
A typical package bundles an entertainer or two (magician, balloon sculptor, games host), a set duration of activities, and often a bouncy castle or fringe activity like face painting. Add-ons include themed decor, live food stations (popcorn, candy floss), photography and a goodie-bag service. Confirm exactly what is in the base package versus charged separately.
Can these planners do adult and private parties too?
Yes. Several here, Party People, Happier, Electric Dreamz and FunEmpire in particular, handle adult birthdays, milestone celebrations, baby showers and private events, not just kids parties. For a grown-up party, look for one strong on atmosphere, decor, food and the right entertainment rather than children's activities.
Are kids parties with inflatables and food safe?
They should be, with the right operator. Look for a BizSafe-certified, insured planner that supervises inflatables and games, and make sure any live food stations use an SFA-licensed caterer. Supervision and proper insurance are a big part of what you are paying a professional for.
How far in advance should I book a party planner?
Three to six weeks is usually comfortable for a standard kids party, but popular weekends and school holidays book up fast, so earlier is safer. For a large private event or a specific date, give as much lead time as you can to secure your preferred entertainers and venue.
Need a website that brings in more party bookings
The planners on this list win a lot of their bookings on a website that looks as fun and well-organised as their parties. That is the part I work on. I design and build websites for businesses across Singapore, including events and entertainment brands, that turn a Google search into a booked enquiry. You can see the kind of result that brings in my Arcade Rental case study.
