The first idea for a party.

Whether you saw our parties on one of our social media platforms or were a guest at another party and saw our fantastic equipment, you've decided to host one yourself! But don't worry! You're in good hands! One of the first steps is to gauge roughly or accurately how many guests will be coming and their age group, try and think about how many will be using the equipment and how many will be supervising and sitting to the side. We have lots of equipment to choose from, many already included in our party packages! All of our equipment has a maximum capacity so multiple items of equipment may be needed for larger parties!

Finding suppliers.

Now you have a good idea how many guests you need to entertain, it might be a good idea to find some suppliers if needed. First establish what types of suppliers you need, do you need any equipment or props? Tables and chairs? Event Decorations? A DJ or dancefloor? Finding suppliers can be a tedious job. searching the web for hours to find a company that turns out to be hundreds of miles away, or asking multiple friends or family for suggestions with no luck. Once you have made your mind up, a good way to get positive recommendations is finding local social media groups. If you still cannot find any suppliers then maybe try find a social media group themed around your type of event and ask the community for recommendations. We are always happy to help and recommend any suppliers or venues that we have worked with in the past.

Browsing Products

Make sure to browse each suppliers full list of products as they may have some hidden gems that could get missed! We have made it easy as pie to browse all of our items by breaking them up into categories and also having an availability checker!

Finding a suitable venue.

There is a few things to take into consideration when looking for a venue. The size of the room/rooms, ceiling height, car parking, and probably most importantly the venue location.

Comparing measurements

Comparing the measurements is crucial. What's the point in going to the stress of booking and organising everything to then find on the day that nothing fits where you want it or doesn't fit in the venue at all! All of our equipment sizes can be found on their original product page (i.e look for the red and blue 11x16 sizes on its original page and not on the large castle and slide combo page). As always, we are more than happy to confirm sizes or equipment just contact us for more info!

Booking items

Once the plan has been confirmed and the venue has been found... GET IT BOOKED!! Don't dordle at this point as you are only giving other people chance to book your items! If you can't find the perfect package for you, contact us to see if we can swap items! (If you are struggling to find a venue but are sure on the items you want to hire, you are welcome to book the items and add a delivery address at a later date, contact us to find out how to do this)

Adding extras

Extras can be added to any booking. Once the booking process has started you can add any items to your basket to book multiple items at once. There is no limit to how many items are added, but we do have a minimum hire of £70

Booking Delivery and collection times

Please book any supplier's (us included!) with enough time for them to safely complete their set up before guests arrive. With us set up times vary depending on equipment, feel free to contact us for an estimated set up time frame.

Give us your info

The next step is to give us some information about you and the event. This helps us with the legality's and logistics side of things like route planning and arrival times. Giving us an accurate delivery location via google maps is appreciated (especially for hard to find venues or named houses), contact us to learn how to do this.

Deposit, final payment and cleaning deposit

To finalise everything, we ask for a £25 non refundable deposit to secure your items and date. This is deducted from the total balance and the remaining is due 48 hours before delivery. You are welcome to pay in full at the time of booking if you prefer. Don't forget we also ask for a £35 refundable cleaning deposit upon delivery of your items. This is returned to you on the basis the equipment is clean upon collection.

Collection info

We usually like to arrive after the party has finished and the guests have left. This is for multiple reasons, firstly it allows the car park to empty allowing us to get closer to the best entrance for our equipment. Secondly, as there are less guests in the venue it is easier for us to dismantle and clean down the equipment. Lastly, it will help save any collisions between us and your guests as we come in and out of the venue whilst loading equipment back into our vehicle.
