What to check when hiring a mascot

A great mascot moment is safe, comfortable and well managed. When providers reply through My Event Match, these are worth checking.

  • Costume & character. Confirm the exact mascot and see recent photos of the costume.
  • Performer & handler. Mascots have limited vision, so ask whether a handler is included.
  • Session length & breaks. Costumes are warm; confirm run time and rest breaks, especially outdoors.
  • Audience & ages. Check the mascot suits your guests, as some toddlers find large costumes daunting.
  • Background checks & insurance. Ask about current background checks and cover where relevant.

Mascot hire FAQs

No. Providers offer generic, inspired-by and original mascot characters, not licensed or trademarked ones. You choose a look and we match you with a suitable independent performer.
Mascot costumes limit vision and movement, so many performers include a handler to guide them safely. Ask each matched provider whether a handler is included.
Costumes are warm, so sessions are usually shorter with breaks, especially outdoors. Share your plan and providers will suggest a comfortable run time.
Most kids love them, though some very young children find large costumes overwhelming. Providers can plan gentle introductions. Mention the ages attending.
Pricing depends on the character, run time and location. You receive quotes from matched providers so you can compare. Submitting your request is free.
Two to four weeks is ideal for weekends and holidays. Last-minute requests are still worth sending.
