About Us
Since 2013, the fairytale characters of Once Upon A Time Parties, LLC have been making magic for guests of all ages along the Gulf Coast. Owner, Kat Caraway, began performing for OUATP in 2015 and in 2017 took over ownership from founder and previous owner, Katie Conner, when she moved to pursue her magical dreams at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Kat is a Mobile native who has a passion for making magic. She has an extensive background in dance, stage performance, customer service, and business ownership giving her the experience to bring these characters to life and lead a team of trained cast members to make magic for and alongside her.
