About Us
Olivia Grace & Company is a prestigious organization of passionate entertainment professionals committed to producing the highest quality character entertainment - outside of a Theme Park. Whether we’re focused on creating unique offerings tailored for a local audience or developing innovative and immersive experiences, our team works together to bring magic to guests every opportunity we get.
Each costume and accessory you see our Characters wear has been custom created of the finest materials for our Company by American seamstresses and designers. Every wig is hand-crafted by local, professional stylists and restyled after every event. And every Cast Member has received professional Character Performer Training from Disney, Universal, or OG&C - Ensuring your experience with our company exceeds all industry standards for Character Entertainment. We thank you for noticing the difference in our company and finding value in what we have created.
Our Production Team
Olivia Grace Haines-Robey
Founder and CEO
Director of Casting
After graduating from Hope College in 2013, Olivia pursued her Master’s degree in Human Resource Management while simultaneously stepping into her dream role with The Walt Disney Company. As a Face Character Performer at Walt Disney World, she brought beloved Princesses and iconic characters to life in parades, stage shows, and immersive meet-and-greets throughout the resort.
During her time with Disney, Olivia was formally recognized more than 100 times by both Guests and Disney Leadership for her exceptional performance, professionalism, and commitment to world-class guest service.
In 2016, Olivia returned to her home state of Michigan, where she accepted a position in Talent Acquisition with Corewell Health, later earning a promotion to Director of Talent Acquisition at Signature Healthcare. Though she found great fulfillment in her HR leadership role, she felt a growing pull back to the magic of performance and storytelling. After months of careful planning, research, and design, Olivia made the bold decision to invest her life savings into founding what would soon become Olivia Grace & Company. The company officially began its magical journey with its very first booking in December 2017.
Olivia stepped away from her corporate career just two months later to dedicate herself fully to OG&C. From the beginning, her mission has remained clear: to create meaningful moments of magic, especially in the places that need it most. Every penny of profit generated by the company - including what would traditionally be Olivia’s salary - is funneled into the company’s Magic Fund, a charitable reserve that sponsors character visits for children’s hospitals, nonprofits, underserved schools, and families facing hardship.
"This has never been about making money.
For me, this is truly about creating magic."
- Olivia Grace
Olivia currently resides in Holland, Michigan with her husband Patrick, their incredible daughters, Charlotte Ann and Lydia Grace, and their three beloved rescue pups: Lincoln, Tilly Mae, and Mazie.
