Cristabelle's Parties & Events has been delighting children of all ages for the past 12 years with exquisite characters, friendly clowns, and quality shows. Christine Rodriguez, the owner and originator of Cristabelle's Parties & Events, was born with a love for entertaining audiences and a yearning to succeed. She dreamed of some day becoming famous and she has definitely accomplished that here in Palm Beach County. While still in school and working 2 other part time jobs, she took up Party Entertaining on the side to hone her acting skills. Step by step she patiently built her company from the ground up.

The first personality Christine developed was Cristabelle the Clown. It started with a shoulder length, straight haired wig with bright neon rainbow colors. Soon came her attire half pink with hearts and the other yellow with multicolored swirls. The swirls became the signature for Cristabelle’s face painting and attitude: fun and whimsical. Born on a rainbow, hence her look, Cristabelle is only 5 years old and never ages. She is very witty and loves to dance and play with her little friends. Cristabelle has an older sister, “La-La” Belle the Clown, who was born beyond the stars. La-La’s theme is neon green, with neon green pigtails, a neon green intergalactic dress, and bubble gum tights. This bubbly 15-year-old clown loves to accessorize with lots of rings, bracelets, and necklaces. There is also Berry Berry the farm-girl clown with strawberry hair and overalls, Glory with her Reds, Whites, and Blues, and Cha Cha with a fruit-filled hat complete with a bumblebee and parrot. Cristabelle’s family takes a new millennium approach to clowning by simplifying the makeup and veering away from the traditional white face look. Christine explains, “I am here to make children happy and the last thing I want is for them to be afraid. I found that by doing away with the white background and keeping it cute and simple, children are more receptive. I love to see their eyes fill with delight when I walk into a room and to know that I made their day special.”

As busy as Cristabelle's Parties & Event is, they always find the time to give back to the community. Every year they raise money over the holiday season to help provide gifts to homeless families at the Lord’s Place Shelter. They have donated their time, talent, and efforts to help charitable causes such as Leukemia, Crohn’s disease, and American Cancer Society to name a few. The Cristabelle group has taken part in the Sorrento’s Feast of Little Italy Festival, Fourth on Flagler, Fourth of July in Lantana, Winter Festival in Boynton Beach, Easter Festival at SF Fairgrounds Expo Center, Sunfest and many others. They have performed live at Trinity Church Preschool, Planet Kids Preschool of Lantana, the Children’s Schoolhouse Museum, the Boynton Beach Library and the Boynton Beach Mall. Many corporate businesses recognize her company to add a special touch to their events.

Cristabelle's Parties and Events... is not just clowning around, they have princesses, superheroes, cartoon characters, magicians and weird scientists to name a few. They offer expert party planning services from bounce houses and slides, petting zoos and pony rides to d-jays and catering. Christine prides herself in selecting the best entertainment that South Florida has to offer. All of their costumes are professionally handcrafted with fine materials and brilliant colors.
