Who We Are

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about us.

 

Jim Fichera, Founder/Co-Owner

My name is Jim Fichera. I am President and founder of Party Vision, LLC. I grew up in the Live Entertainment Industry with my mother and stepfather who were professional musicians and talent agents. This is where I learned "The Show Must Go On" philosophy at an early age. I have been actively working in the Novelty and Amusement Entertainment Industry for over 20 years. I started in the industry in my early teens loading trucks and doing odd jobs for my stepfather's entertainment agency. I left the industry in my later teens to work in retail. The retail industry taught me a lot about customer service and of course that the customer is always right. In my early twenties I returned to entertainment full time and went back to work with my stepfather. Together we developed some of the earlier novelty events including Video Vibes, The Music Box and Bodywork Temporary Tattoos. I began to work as a freelance event staff person, gaining hands-on event experience with everything from novelty programs to theater, scenery, and live music events. I soon began coordinating events and working as a talent agent as I took business classes part time. In 1996 I decided to start my own company and founded Party Vision. The experience has helped me put together a team of people with the goal of providing you, our customers, with a world-class event experience. We don't consider ourselves to be a rental company or booking agency, but instead a blend of the best aspects of each. We will work with you from conception through completion to make sure your event is one that your guests will never forget. Our goal is to exceed your expectations!

I live in Amherst NH with my wife and three daughters. When I'm not in the office I try to get outside as much as possible. I love to scuba dive, camp and Kayak with my family. I also appreciate the artistic nuances that go into making a refined and eloquent zombie and sci-fi movie!

Nick Pratt is our Co-Owner

Known for his hands-on leadership and behind-the-scenes expertise, Nick oversees operations, staffing, and event logistics to ensure every celebration runs seamlessly. Whether coordinating large-scale productions or supporting the team on site, he plays a key role in bringing Party Vision’s high-energy entertainment to life. Outside of events, Nick draws inspiration from the outdoors, embracing adventure, family time, and the same passion and precision he brings to every event.
