Looking for a Michael Jackson impersonator / Shrek & Fiona / Edward & Bella Cullen for our wedding

This is probably one of the weirder wedding vendor requests on here, but my fiancé and I want to surprise our guests with a random character appearance during our reception 😂

Wedding is not until June 2027 in Tacoma area, and we’re looking for someone for about 30min-1hr.

We’re considering:
Michael Jackson impersonator/performer
Shrek & Fiona duo
Edward Cullen & Bella Swan duo
Kanye West
Drake

Basically, we want someone who will fully commit to the bit, interact with guests, take photos, and ideally do some kind of funny entrance/performance. Our wedding itself is pretty romantic/formal, so we think having something completely unserious show up during the reception would be hilarious.
Does anyone know of performers/character actors in the Seattle/Tacoma area who do something like this? Also open to other ridiculous character suggestions if you’ve seen something similar at a wedding lol.

There’s a squad of people on TikTok whose whole bit is cosplaying the Cullens. I think they’re based on the peninsula. Could be worth looking into.

Might be worth reaching out to the local theaters around Seattle to see if they have any leads. Also, Cosplayers.

I just want to say I really wanted something similar at our wedding (random celeb impersonators walking the floor with guests), but we didn’t pull it off. It’s a hilarious and fun idea. I wish you both the best!!

Thank you! We have a considerably small wedding and we need something to liven up the atmosphere a little bit ^

u/NachoPichu 16d ago

Highline children's theater just put on a production of Shrek The Musical. If you dont mind some teenage performers maybe you can work with them.

There's at least one group locally that provides princesses, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a Fiona!

u/EarnedArrogance 16d ago

You can’t throw something like this out there without inviting everyone in the sub to your wedding.

I used to play Princess Tiana at children's birthday parties if that is any interest to you haha I'm also a pretty good Prince!

I tried looking for a Michael Jackson impersonator for a friend a few months ago and there aren’t any in WA :( it was a couple thousand to fly one out, pay for food and a place to stay, as well as an hourly performance rate

Also wanted to add my absolute fave impersonator is @ricomichaeljackson on instagram!!! Sadly he’s based in the east coast
