We often have multiple clients interested in the same date but we have a finite amount of employees, so it's first come first served with completed payment and contract. This means even small parties have a chance to get booked, we DO NOT bump small parties for bigger gigs-once you are booked, you are booked. Even small parties are special to us. In THIRTY years we have only had to cancel one party due to Covid-19. All our entertainers are vaccinated for Covid-19, flu... it's safer for them and your party guests that way.

We DO NOT send entertainers out without a completed contract, even if you left a 100% deposit, so just send the completed contract back to us before your party date. We understand technology can be frustrating, so it's okay to text an image of the signed and completed contract, just make sure it's legible so we know where to send your entertainers. Weather happens! Have a contingency plan for your party or event: tent, alternate locations, move the party indoors... We offer rain dates for $250 added to the contract & bid prior to booking. Cannot be added the day of the party or after your cancellation. We tend to book up quickly for weekends, so it's best to add the rain date when you book your party for best availability. We may not have your rain date available if you wait. We reserve the right to cancel. If we cancel, you get a full refund minus the fees for any balloon sculptures/arches... If you cancel, you DO NOT receive a refund. Please have a contingency plan for inclement weather. We offer rain dates at the time of booking for $250 more(nonrefundable). Entertainers are happy to drive an extra 15 minutes for an indoor location if time permits, and have worked under tents and awnings to make sure the party went on even in crummy weather. However, if there is a declared state of emergency by the governor in the state where the party is held or in NJ (our entertainers come from there), we allow you to reschedule for any available non-holiday weekend date/time listed on our website at no extra charge. Rain is not a state of emergency and a formal declaration must be made by the governor to be able to reschedule. Example-During Hurricane Sandy and the beginning of Covid-19(when masks were mandatory due to a lack of vaccines available), we allowed a lot of reschedules because it wasn't safe for the party to go on. REQUIRED PREPAID PARKING/Valet as close as possible to venue as they will have heavy supplies. Entertainers DO NOT pay valet parking and are carrying 75lbs or more of equipment. We also have in our employ disabled entertainers. Please let us know if you have stairs.
