Frequently Asked Questions for Springfield, Decatur & Champaign Events

Do you service events on the University of Illinois campus in Champaign?

Yes, absolutely. We are experienced in coordinating with campus venues for student events, alumni gatherings, and other university-related functions.

How far in advance should I book for a graduation party weekend?

Graduation weekends in May, especially in Champaign-Urbana, are extremely busy. We highly recommend booking your rentals at least 3-4 months in advance to ensure availability.

Is renting equipment for our Springfield church event a better value than buying?

Without a doubt. Renting gives you access to professional, high-quality, and fully supervised attractions for a fraction of the purchase price, and it completely eliminates the costs and hassles of storage, maintenance, and insurance.

How messy is a foam party, and is cleanup difficult?

Our foam is non-toxic, biodegradable, and designed for easy cleanup. It dissolves on its own in the sun, or it can be hosed down to disappear even faster, leaving no residue or harm to your lawn.
