"My daughter wanted a Spidey and Amazing Friends birthday party. She insisted on having all three spidey and Stu was the only company in the DMV that could deliver. Not only were they easy to work with, punctual and fun… they made sure we got individual photos, sang her happy birthday - including the Stevie Wonder version AND kept the kids entertained. Totally worth the cost! Oh- we also got professional looking photos back that night!”

"Stupendous Events orchestrated a fantastic 6th birthday party for my son. With appearances from Superman and Green Goblin, the children were thoroughly entertained. They engaged in gymnastics, tackled obstacles, and shared countless laughs. Every child departed with a broad smile, a testament to the genuine effort of the actors to connect with each one. I'm deeply appreciative. For top-notch entertainment, look no further. They truly are unparalleled.”

"This was our first time hiring an entertainer for a party and we are so glad we went with Stu! He showed up early to set up the activities for the “Darth Vader” training, and then came back in costume once the party started. He kept about 15 kids entertained with activities for about 45 minutes, and then did photos with whatever kids wanted them. He brought special gifts for the birthday boys, as well as small prizes for all the other kids. The kids all had a fantastic time!”

"STUpendous Events is amazing! We had both Spiderman and Black Panther come to a birthday party at a park, and everyone at the party was beyond impressed with them. It happened to a rather warm and humid day, but they stayed in full costume and character for 2 hours. They fully entertained the children for the whole time. They did superhero training and obstacle courses. After the activities they posed for pictures and lead everyone in singing Happy Birthday. The owner is super is easy to work with and responds in a timely manner. We will definitely be using them for future parties and recommending them to friends.”

"Stu was amazing to work with! We hosted a kids neighborhood party with Santa, Mrs. Claus & a few elves- they were hands down the best! The elves helped kids make cookies & Santa & Mrs. Claus surprised them with a story, caroling & pictures. We even finished the night with a Santa dance party. So much energy & commitment to character. The kids had the best night ever. Truly magical & unforgettable.”

Amaizing with the kiddos, engaged the audience as he read, "Twas the Night Before Christmas, and customer service from Stu and Santa were above and beyond. Looking forward to many more events together!!! Thank you for making our event extra magical.”

"We hired Stu to do our son’s ninja birthday party and he was amazing. He showed up 1.5 hours early to set up, he engaged the kids for an hour of fun activities, and then he got them to help clean up and they loved that too. I would definitely recommend him to others and hope to have him again for future parties. Very professional and a lot of fun.”

"Stu is amazing. He is my go to person for organizing the birthday parties. This is the second time I hired him and he made the birthday party a big hit and both kids and parents were talking about it. Stu went out of his way to make sure all the details of a new theme (costumes, props, etc) were correct through constant communications. Quick response.”

"We’ve hired Stu and his crew 3x now and excited for the next. After two super hero parties, where the heroes entertained our kiddos with so many fun activities, I didn’t think it could get any better! Today we had a zoom visit with Santa & Mrs. Claus ! 🎄 It was so much better than going to see Santa at the mall or anywhere for that matter because the boys actually had quality time talking to them both like never before ! For 45 minutes Santa and Mrs. Claus talked to our kids about how important it is to love your siblings and friends and to be kind and how important it is to keep learning the alphabet and how to read. They sang to the kids who then started dancing all over the place. It was absolutely adorable! Santa asked about what they wanted for Christmas and even got to see a recent Little League t-ball award our son received. Our 3 year cried on Santa’s lap last year at the mall after waiting an hour. Today’s virtual visit is something our boys cherished and haven’t stopped talking about it all day! Thank you Stu! You always impress!”

"I attended a birthday party where Stu and company were avengers and was so impressed by the level of interaction they did with the kid that I hired him to be Darth Vader for my son’s birthday. Stu was simply amazing and I strongly recommend him. He works so hard and patients with kids that have had lots of sugar. Simply amazing!”

"I don't write reviews generally but I just attended an awesome cocktail party for my best friend's 50th, the music and decorations were so cool and every one had a great time. Great attention to detail also- Stu even had props like a crown and scepter for my friend to wear all night! I am planning to have him plan my kids upcoming party too:)”

"Amazing Party"
"We had an amazing party for our son's 5th birthday. Captain America spent time with the birthday boy before the party and spent a great deal of time training all the kids to fight evil. He had a ton of games and activities for kids age 4 to 10. They ALL had a great time and parents kept talking about how cool, entertaining, and original the party and Stu was. I would highly recommend and hire again!"

"Memorable Party"
"We had a wonderful experience with superhero Stu! He performed as Spider-Man at my children’s 3rd and 5th Birthday Party. He came early, set up and had some one on one time with the kids before the party started. He made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted and kept all of the kids, which were all mixed ages from 3-10 years old, engaged throughout the party. Thanks for such a memorable party!"

"Perfect Tween Party!"
"Perfect tween party. My daughter wanted a glow dance party with a slim station for her ith party. Super Hero Stu Made it happen. He was very professional showed up on time brought tons of lights, lazors and equipment to transform my family room into a dance club. The kids loved making slim and dancing. Several of them told me it was the best party ever."

"Thrilled!"
"We are thrilled with the Mr. Incredible performance that Superhero Stu did at our son's 5th birthday party. Not only is he an incredible entertainer, but he is also very professional and communicative, and was really helpful and responsive to our questions/scheduling, etc. We had a full action-packed hour and then some of all sorts of inventive activities that were creatively related to the theme, the kids were having the time of their lives and really engaged, and Mr. Incredible even stayed to sing Happy Birthday to our boy. My son has repeatedly said it was his birthday ever, and I've been told by parents that the other kids at the party are still talking about it as well. Thank you so much for making our son's birthday so special!

"We Lucked Out!!"
"We really lucked out with getting SuperHero Stu booked for our 4 year old’s birthday party. Stu was very professional and accommodating to my changing event schedule. Day of the party, he arrived extra early to set up his stations, which we really appreciated! As Spider Man’s helper, ahead of the party, he was interactive with our son and let him play with some of the superhero gear and tag along during setup. In costume, he was great at taking on the room full of chaotic kids & getting the our event and kids organized for super hero training activities. He had a lot of props and activity stations and the kids really had a blast. Highly recommend, as we felt he went above and beyond for our event needs. Thanks!"

​
"Awesome!"
"I'm a little late to review, but I still think about the AWESOME ninja party Stu and his colleague put on for my 7-year old twins in March. Stu remained in contact leading up to the party and made sure he was adequately prepared to entertain ~40 kids at my house. He showed up early to assess the layout and set up his equipment. He provided tons of fun activities and great, high energy music to really get the party going.
Stu's parties are ACTIVE, they are not a show. For the ninja party, the kids rotate through various training activities involving swords, nun-chucks, tunnels, etc. My kiddos had a blast and three months later, their party is still talked about among their friends - both boys and girls. We will absolutely use Stu for other parties."

"Best Decision I Made For The Party"
"Hiring Stuart for my son's 5th birthday bash was the best decision I made for the party. My son is totally into Marvel. And Stuart made his big day just the way he wanted. He is very professional, arrived on time with his assistant. Throughout the party he made sure that the birthday boy feels special and was totally in zeal of the marvel characters.
All the kid superheros had fun time during the party. I still keep getting complements about Stuart's work. ( My son again wants to repeat same theme for the next party, and he wants to call Stuart again.) I wish him a good luck!"

"Super Hero Stu was awesome! Spider Man came to my Son’s 4th birthday party and had all the kids running around! It was so awesome to have activities for the kids to play and for the parents to watch! Best party ever! All the kids were sad to see him go but happy he was going to fight the bad guys! Thanks Super Hero Stu!"

"Greatest party we could have imagined!"
"Superhero Stu was easy to communicate with during the planning, showed up on time, set up and helped move things around with us to make the space work. The Bat training he did with our very excited group of kids was fantastic! He really knows how to engage at the right age level and there were NO squabbles or tears from anyone. I call that a success! He looked great, was happy to stay for photos, and generally made our son’s day so special. Have had great feedback and referral requests from so many parents who attended. Thank you
