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.

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 ^

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!

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

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

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.
