Our Story

Once Upon a Time…

Amelia Rose, founder of Wands and Whimsy
The Founder

Amelia Rose

Wands and Whimsy was founded in 2014 by Amelia Rose – performer, singer, and lifelong lover of children's stories. Amelia has been singing since before she could speak, acting since age 7, and working with children since age 12. When she decided to combine all three, Wands and Whimsy was born.

What started as a side project became a highly requested service, with performances at birthday parties, school fun nights, Make-A-Wish celebrations, and more. Today, Amelia leads a talented ensemble cast and is proud to bring professionally performed fairy tale characters to families across Nebraska.
