Top Six Questions to Ask When Choosing a Party Rental or Amusement Rental Company

Are your rides insured and for how much?

Be sure to ask this question! Most states require that a company carries at least a 1 million dollar liability policy. Ask for a copy of the policy and it’s always a good idea to ask to be listed as additionally insured. If the answer to this question is no than run don’t walk!

Will your staff Stay On Site?

Certain rides such as Mechanical Bulls, Rock Walls, Mechanical Rides, Bungee Trampolines, larger inflatables etc must be staffed by a professionally trained staff person. Other units such as smaller inflatables can be run by volunteers but make sure they are fully trained by your rental companies staff. Also make sure that there is a person from the rental company staying on site to supervise the volunteers.

Give Them Something to Talk About at Your Next Event

Everybody looks forward to a great party. Who doesn't love to let their hair down with friends from time to time? A memorable party is one in which you show up, grab a cold drink from the cooler or something delicious off the buffet. You look around the room and see that everybody there seems to know everybody else, and before you know it everyone is standing around in little groups, talking and laughing like mad. It's especially fun at company parties, employee mixers, and other, similar events. And, if everybody doesn't know one another already, a well-planned party with games and events can help make all the attendees feel like they have something to share and talk about.

Make Your Holiday Party Unforgettable

The holidays are the busiest travel season of the year. Families from all over the map fly back home for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years. It's also the biggest time for parties and events, whether it's family gatherings, friendly gettogethers, or company parties. With extended families, competition for holiday event times can get pretty fierce, so it's important to make sure that your holiday party preparations really shine. If your guests get a half-dozen invitations for a shindig around the holiday season, you want to make sure that your event is the one that they can't miss!

College Halloween Events and Attractions for a Spooky Thrill

Halloween has come a long way over the years. Far from just tricks and treats for the kids, Halloween has become the second-largest commercial holiday in the country, right on the heels of Christmas.

That's where we here at Party Vision come in. We've got a wide range of spooky and seasonal performers, games, foods, and other products to make your next Halloween event a can't miss!
