Meet the Owner & Managers
Behind Your Perfect Event!
Rainbow Tree Events (formerly Bounce with the Brices and Rainbow Tree Balloons) began during the challenging days of the Covid-19 pandemic when, like many families, we found ourselves at home looking for ways to stay entertained. To beat the boredom, we purchased a bounce house — and as they say, the rest is history!
Since then, Rainbow Tree Events has expanded significantly. We now offer a wide range of products and services including full service event planning and design, balloons, event rentals, staffing and more. Our team has grown to 2 full time managers, over 15 part-time and seasonal staff members and our office pet tortoise Pancake. We operate out of a spacious warehouse in Woodridge, IL.
Aimee Tyler
Owner / Lead Designer
Hi! I’m Aimee (uh-may), owner of Rainbow Tree Events! Family is at the heart of everything we do. My family includes myself, my husband George, and our children Camden and Chiylo. George works full-time as a mechanic, while I work full time as a business owner. Camden and Chiylo attend elementary school in Downers Grove.
In addition to owning and operating Rainbow Tree Events I also own The Playpen in Glen Ellyn which is a children's indoor play cafe and event space, and I co own Burst Party Co, a foil balloon manufacturing brand.
I am passionate about female entrepreneurship and I am always looking for opportunities to educate and inspire women to look into the world of small business, business ownership, or business management. I am proud to say that all three of my businesses are led by an all female management team.
Katie Rasine
Events Manager
If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I am never afraid of a little organized chaos.
I have been part of the Rainbow Tree Events team for over two years as the Events Manager, where I get to combine my love of creativity, organization, and bringing big ideas to life. With a degree in Graphic Design, I have an eye for the details that make an event feel extra special. My favorite part of the job? Seeing an event come to life from the very first idea all the way through the final guest walking out the door.
I am also the Operations & Fulfillment Manager for Burst Party Co., another one of Aimee's businesses. Here I keep product stock together, fulfill orders, and all the behind-the-scenes details that keep the business moving—which means organization and multitasking.
Outside of work, my life is just as busy I live in Darien with my wife and our twins. Somehow I find time to work as a travel agent and run a dog-sitting business. Between events, balloons, travel, kids, dogs, and everything in between, there is never a dull moment!
I love creating experiences that make people smile and believes the best events are the ones where every little detail comes together to create something guests will remember. Whether planning an event, solving a last-minute problem, dreaming up a new idea, or simply making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, I am always ready to jump in and make it happen.
