Specialties
At Awesome Parties & Events, we go beyond entertainment — we design experiences that feel completely your own. Every event we touch is built from the ground up around your vision, your guests, and your vibe.
What truly sets us apart is our seamless, all-in-one approach. No more coordinating multiple vendors or chasing down details. From high-energy DJs and engaging MCs to interactive photo booths, balloon artists, face painters, and even festive Dickens-style carolers — everything you need lives under one roof. One team. One plan. Zero stress.
With over 17 years in the industry, our entertainers know how to read a room and elevate it. We don’t rely on cookie-cutter playlists or pre-packaged performances. Whether it’s a school dance, corporate gathering, HOA event, or private celebration, we shape the music, energy, and activities to match your crowd in real time.
Clients choose us because we deliver more than promises:
* 17 years of proven experience

History
Established in 2009.
Awesome Parties & Events (APE) has been bringing the fun since late 2008–early 2009. It all started with a camera and a dream—our founder began shooting weddings at just 16 years old! While she now focuses on leading the company, she’s passed the torch to a passionate, talented team that brings the magic to every event.
What began as a one-woman show offering just photography and instant green screen photos has grown into a full-blown event entertainment company. Over the years, we’ve carefully added new services that align with our vibe—fun, creative, and unforgettable.
We’re still a small company, and honestly, we love it that way. Staying small means we can keep things personal and build real connections with our clients. In fact, many of the folks who booked us back in 2009 still party with us today!
At APE, we believe in more than just throwing amazing events—we believe in building lasting, positive relationships. That’s what keeps us going and what makes us awesome.
Meet the Business Owner: Bernadette R.
Hi, I’m Bernadette
(You might know me as DJ Burn, Balloon Bernie, or “the photo lady” — it really depends on the day!)
At Awesome Parties & Events, I wear a lot of hats — sometimes all at once. One minute I’m twisting balloons, the next I’m behind the DJ booth packing the dance floor, and somewhere in between I’m handling invoices and making sure every detail runs smoothly. Life as an entertainer is the best kind of adrenaline rush — like bungee jumping, but with more glitter and better music.
While I absolutely love the energy and creativity of the job, I’m just as passionate about the business behind it. Building APE has been a true labor of love. What started as a passion for entertaining has grown into an incredible team of talented artists and performers who pour their hearts into every event.
My goal has always been simple: bring joy, make memories, and build something that lasts. And honestly? There’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.
