We hired Elmo and Cookie Monster for a 4-year-old's birthday party (kids were between 1-6). The price was a little higher than another company I looked at, but the costumes were clearly better, and since they're coming from a bit farther away (we're in Newport Beach), it seemed reasonable. They showed up on time and everything looked like what we expected. I'm fine using a company that's not as close if they're reliable and the quality is there. The performers were good with the kids and kept things moving without it feeling forced. They also stayed a bit longer for photos and the cake, which worked out well. read more

We had the Paw Patrol characters come to my son's party at Lucky Strike in Orange and they were a big hit with the kids. The place was packed and pretty noisy, so I wasn't sure how well it would work, but the performers handled it really well and kept the children's attention the whole time. The costumes looked great and were much better than I expected. The kids recognized the characters right away and got really excited when they walked in. Most of the activities were simple, but that was actually perfect for the younger kids at the party. They got to interact with the characters, take pictures, and be part of the fun without things feeling overly structured. read more

Just rented a really cute combo inflatable jumper castle with slide attached. Was a good fit for the ages of kids we had, everyone had plenty of space to go in the bouncer and use the slide. The slide was a good height for even the smaller kids to be able to climb up and slide down by themselves. Seemed very safe and stable and the jumper was in excellent condition, very clean. They got it all set up on time and came back to pick it up after with no problems. Didn't even damage our grass! We tipped the delivery guy because he did a great job and the jumper looked just like the picture on their website. read more

We recently hired this place for our annual Kid's Day at Magnolia Science Academy Santa Ana, and they did a great job. We booked them for 3 hours to have a balloon twister entertain the kids. The event is a mix of a fundraiser and a community gathering, and the balloon twister really added to the fun. Even though we're based in Santa Ana, they came from their Anaheim branch, and they were nice enough to waive the mileage fee since we booked for 3 hours, which we appreciated. Their website was a little tricky to navigate, but they were very responsive and helpful by email and phone, so the booking process went smoothly. read more

We booked pony rides through Fun Factory Parties for a young child's birthday celebration and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. The setup took place in our backyard within a fenced area and everything was handled smoothly and professionally. The ponies were calm, well cared for, and thoughtfully matched to the ages and sizes of the children which made everyone feel comfortable and safe. The staff was friendly and attentive, helping each child on and off while making sure everything ran safely throughout the event. The kids absolutely loved the pony rides and it added a really special touch to the party. Overall the entire process felt easy and reliable and we felt very comfortable booking with them. read more

We had a super fun party with Poppy and Branch from Trolls coming to visit the kids. We hired the characters for an hour and we had about 18 kids total. Some of them were too young to really participate but it didn't matter, they had a fun time just dancing and hugging the characters. The costumes looked great, I was really impressed by the quality. I've seen some mascots that don't look that good so I was worried, yeah I did see the pics on their website but you never really know until the characters show up how they're going to look in person. They did a great, were very upbeat and energetic with the kids and made sure to give lots of extra attention to the bday girl. She loves Trolls so it was really fun to see her dancing and having fun with them on her bday. She wasn't expecting them to come in person so she was super excited. I don't mind paying a little bit more than some other companies it was like maybe $50 over another company I found but I liked their costumes more and they were very easy to deal with on the phone and get everything arranged. I was glad they gave me a call the day before the party to confirm ahead of time, that helped me feel more secure about the whole thing. Definitely added a fun touch to our party! read more

This place really came through for us with our last minute request. We had hired a Minnie Mouse party character from another company and everything was all set to go. Then just 2 days before our party they sent a text saying they weren't coming! What?? Wow that was stressful and unprofessional. Our party was on a Saturday afternoon so most of the places we called to get a replacement were already sold out or they didn't have a Minnie available. Also our party was in Murrieta which a lot of local places don't serve. So after about a dozen emails to every character company I could find online I heard back from Fun Factory and they said they were available. Yes they were a little bit more expensive than the place I had originally hired but that was understandable because they had to drive about 75 miles one way to get to our party so it made sense. And the amazing thing was that they were actually willing to adjust their schedule at the last minute and find me a staff person who would be able to come out. Not only that, but when they came out their Minnie Mouse costume was AMAZING. It was exactly what we wanted, the style was really cute and the costume was in excellent condition. It was the closest I have seen to a professional mascot from a theme park. The performer was there right on time and had great energy with the kids. You can see in the pic that the birthday girl was super happy and excited to meet Minnie. So glad we were able to find this company and not have a disappointed bday girl. It saved what could have been a huge disaster and turned it into a super happy moment for the kids and saved me from a ton of stress. read more

We threw a tropical-themed street party for our block last weekend, and having something for the kids to stay busy was a must. We really wanted to keep everything matching the theme, but finding an inflatable with that tropical look wasn't as easy as we thought. Definitely one of those things we should've planned out a little earlier. I checked a bunch of rental sites and nothing really stood out. Some were too small, a couple places wouldn't deliver out our way, and a few just weren't great at getting back to me. Didn't want to chase people down while trying to pull the party together. Came across these guys and it was a different story. Their website was clean, easy to use, and they had a ton of options. They had this tropical jumper with a slide that fit our theme perfectly. It looked awesome in person and was seriously big--worked for all the kids and even some adults jumped in for fun. Reservation was quick and easy, and they showed up a few hours early so we weren't scrambling last minute. Armando handled the setup, made sure everything was in the right spot, and secured it really well. Overall, super smooth experience. The kids stayed on it pretty much the entire party. Everything was clean, looked great, and just made the whole event better. Would definitely use them again. read more

This place really helped make our event great! We do a food booth at the annual street Orange County Street Fair every year. We always try to have something fun going to draw in the crowd and attract people to our booth because there's a lot of competition. Sometimes we have people in fun costumes so this year we thought it would be fun to have a couple mascot characters standing around in front to attract attention to our booth.  All of our staff were busy working in the booth serving customers so we didn't really have anyone extra available to wear the mascot costumes. Someone found Funfactory online and we emailed them about maybe sending a couple of their staff to our event to wear the costumes. They were great! They responded right away and they actually did have a couple of staff people available. They said their staff would be high energy and had experience wearing mascots, so it seemed like a good fit. Day of the event the 2 performers Jeremy and Gemma arrived right on time, actually half hour ahead which was perfect. They were right, they were both super friendly, high energy and kept the crowd involved and definitely brought a lot of cool attention to our booth. Plenty of people came by to take pictures with the characters and that led to great interaction and high turnover for our booth. We had a great year and their crew helped a lot. This is kind of an unusual gig so it's hard to know where to find staff people for it, but in future if we need some cool costume characters I would definitely get in touch with them again! read more

Poor customer service, the character I booked for my sons birthday was late and had a bad attitude when he showed up, would not book again

I'm going to give this place an overall positive review because of our experience with using them for a work party. We don't usually hire a lot of stuff for kids so I wasn't really sure where to go or even what to do this time around. A lot of our corporate functions don't have families so it's not something I have a lot of experience with. Google brought me to Fun Factory after a couple of clicks, I still wasn't sure what to go with but they gave me some pretty good suggestions. What I liked a lot was that they never tried to upsell us on a bunch of extra stuff we didn't really need. They asked some normal, basic questions about the size of the party, ages of the kids, number of kids etc etc. All things that showed that they were actually interested in finding us a good match for entertainment options and not just telling us to order a ton of stuff that wasn't a good fit. That matters a lot to me and also that saves time because we don't have to go through a lot of unecessary back and forth. Their website is very easy to use and I was able to get a detailed written quote in half an hour! Out of 4 places I tried this was by FAR the fastest response, and when I requested a phone call back I got it right away. The other places seemed like a lot of phone and email tag which does not make it any easier when you're trying to plan an already complicated event schedule.  They recommended a few things which definitely made sense for our event, and we got the whole thing worked out in under an hour. That was great, gave me plenty of time to move on to other pieces and one less thing to worry about. They stayed in touch the whole time right up until the day of the party, and even followed up after to see how it all went. That's a level of customer service that I didn't experience from the other places I contacted, and it's worth it to me to have that even if the price was maybe 5-10% higher than a couple of the other places I called, it was totally worth it for the time I saved and also it seems like it's backed up by the quality of the service they provided. Got a couple of Minions characters, a balloon twister and a Magician who all turned out to be great for everyone. Kids loved it, parents were happy and everything went smoothly and on time. I'd say, based on this experience this is a trustworthy place that stands by what they offer. read more

The bouncer rental was the highlight of the celebration. As soon as it was set up, the kids ran straight to it and stayed entertained for hours. The bouncer was bright, colorful, super clean, and the perfect size for a group of energetic kids. It gave them a safe space to jump, laugh, and burn off all that birthday excitement while the adults could relax and enjoy watching them have fun. read more

We just hired the CUTEST Sonic mascot character for our son's 5th bday!! Omg it was sooo fun. I wasn't sure if it would be too silly for a 5 year old but it definitely wasn't and also there were tons of other kids there of different ages who were SUPER excited to meet Sonic lol. It couldn't have gone any better, the costume that came looked EXACTLY like the pics on their website. I wasn't sure cause sometimes you never know for sure until your party date but this time it was legit. They young guy who wore the costume was super energetic and fun with the kids, poor guy we had the party indoors and I know he must have been hot but he did an awesome job. It was such a relief to find a place that would be on time and reliable AND have a great costume and performer. Very impressed and many parents asked for their contact info. read more

We got a couple walkaround type characters just to add a little fun to our event. We just needed them to walk around, meet the kids, take pictures etc. No big deal, just a nice little extra for the kids and families to have fun. I was expecting the more traditional type mascot style costumes. However they seemed to use a newer type of inflatable style mascot, which was also cute. The main thing is the kids liked the characters and the parents got to take their pics. Their staff was good and energetic. For something like this it's a fun idea. read more

These guys did all the setup for our annual street festival party. We had over 5,000 people in 3 days. They did an awesome job with hiring 3 different styles of bouncers. We got an inflatable bouncer slide and a cotton candy and snowcone machine. The kids loved it and the setup was very smooth. A little issue in the beginning with figuring out the whole electrical situation, but they got it figured out pretty quick and it wasn't a big deal. I appreciated the reliability, great communication. read more

I found this company online when I was looking for somewhere to rent an adult sized Daniel Tiger mascot costume. It was for a school event for about 100+ kids, mostly ages 4-7. We needed to have the Daniel Tiger character for a long time, so it definitely made more sense to just rent the costume and get an adult here to wear it instead of hiring a live performer for an entire day. We actually needed the costume for flexible hours too, so the rental was obviously more in line with what we needed. The price for the rental was pretty reasonable, we actually got to keep the costume for a few days and it was around $200.00. I'd say the rental process was pretty straight forward. I emailed them a couple times with questions and also to get a pic of how the costume actually looked. Both times I got a response back pretty fast like in less than half an hour. Their costume looked GREAT, and I was really happy to see when it arrived that it did look like the pics they had sent me. I'd say it's good for an adult to wear, it maybe takes a little bit of help getting it on which is why we had a couple people to assist the person wearing it. But all in all it fit great and looked great. The kids loved it, and the whole rental and return process was pretty easy. I like their selection of costumes so it's pretty likely we will do this again maybe for something seasonal or a holiday theme type mascot. read more

I just found this place to rent a really cute white pony for my little girl's 6th birthday party. She really loves ponies I mean come on what little girl doesn't haha. We had both boys and girls there but we really wanted to get something that would fit a pony princess type theme. This place had exactly what we were looking for and the price seemed pretty reasonable. It was a little bit higher maybe $25 than another company but I compared the way their pony looks and I loved it. The pony was the perfect size for little kids to ride on and take pictures. There were around 12 kids at the party mostly girls and everyone got to have a turn. The company brought out the animals and had them all set up and ready to go in about 20 minutes. Alyssa the lady who handled the pony with the kids was super sweet and she made sure all the kids were safe. As far as a place to rent a birthday pony goes I would say they do a great job overall. read more

I rented the PJ Mask mascot costumes for my son's 4th birthday party. When the boxes arrived, I noticed an odor right away. The odor wasn't like the costumes had been stored for a while, it was a dirty, sweaty, Body odor. Upon inspection of the costumes: Owlette had thread unraveling from the body suit, browning teeth, pins sticking out, an eyebrow falling off, and visible dirt/sweat stains in the mask and shoes. Gecko had a missing eye (that I later found in the box), the same visible dirt/sweat stains, and the front of the mask looked as though a cat had clawed at it. Cat Boy had a broken zipper on the suit, same cat scratches and dirt/sweat stains on the mask, and was WAY smaller than described. When I expressed my disappointment to Jeff via email, he no regard for the condition he sent the costumes in or the fact that he overcharged my card by almost double the rental amount, which I have now begun disputing with the bank. I also had to pay $135 to ship the costumes back! PLEASE READ ALL REVIEWS ON GOOGLE AND YELP BEFORE FALLING INTO THIS COMPANIES TRAP!!! read more

I'm at a very interesting position due to the fact I have worked for this company for over 10 yrs off and on. I had no idea the owner Jeff was the way he was. Let me explain. I went to an event Jeff booked last weekend but the client said he already had a magician and Jeff was rude to him and unprofessional. So I left the event and told Jeff I still needed to be compensated for my time as I had turned down bookings for his event as well, he said ok and never paid me. Little did I know he had cussed out the client and threatened bodily harm come to his kids and covid as well. I couldn't believe it. DO NOT BOOK YOUR EVENT WITH THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT YOUR KIDS SAFE. JEFF NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO BBB and THE AUTHORITIES FOR MAKING TERRORISTIC THREATS. I HAVE SCREEN SHOTTED HIS TEXT TO THE CLIENT. read more

We used this place to hire a Ryder from Paw Patrols costume entertainer. We were doing a Paw Patrols theme bday for a 5 year old. We wanted to get a couple of the characters but the price was higher than we planned so we ended up getting just one. It was fine, we had about 14 kids so it turned out one person was enough. The mascot performer that they sent came on time and his costume was really nice. They brought out enough to do with the kids to keep them engaged for the whole time they were there. We used the last 10 minutes to bring out the cake and do pictures. Basically I would say we received the service we were offered. The price seems a little high but we live in kind of a remote area so it was understandable that they charge a bit more for the extra time it takes to come out to our location. read more

We just hired FunFactory to bring a huge sports theme bouncer / obstacle course to our family event for our company. It was an outdoor event with tons of kids, about 100+ kids over a 2 day time period. The obstacle course was great, huge amount of space for all the kids and could also accomodate parents who wanted to go inside it with their kids. The setup was fast about 20 minutes and they secured it well to deal with some wind we were having on the event day. Unit looked really clean and was in good shape. The price was fair for the size of the jumper we got and for the amount of time we got to have it for. read more

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE for our son's 4th birthday party in the park. Jeff was very communicative leading up to the event, and the performer Ana was just wonderful. The first 30 minutes she was dressed as Cookie Monster, and the last 30 minutes as a fairy, playing games with songs, limbo, magic tricks and balloon animals. She was right on time, enthusiastic and engaged the children. At the end she played happy birthday music as the kids gathered around the cake. I was concerned because there are poor reviews here on Yelp, but I was so happy with the experience, zero complaints, happy kids and parents! read more

Our school had a big parent / student fair for back to school this year. We don't do this every year but this was a little big of a bigger deal because we've been transitioning from online learning back into real time classroom, which is SO much better for kids of our age ranges. We really wanted to do a nice "welcome back" type thing so we had a fundraiser and got the parents and some neighborhood community businesses and other organizations to pitch. It was really unbelievable how everyone stepped up to help make this possible. I had gotten in touch with Fun Factory about 2 months before our event to see if there was anything they would be able to do to help us with our event. They offered to give us a very good price on hiring a live Elmo character to come out to meet the kids at our event. That was perfect and their price was very reasonable and fit within our budget. On the day of the event it couldn't have gone any better, with Elmo there meeting the kids and parents and posing for pictures during the event. Everyone loved it and it was a great fit for our back to school event. We really appreciated that Fun Factory was willing to work with us on price, and not only that they really came through for us with sending a great quality Elmo mascot character. Really nice to have the support of a local business during times like these! read more

Overpriced and rude customer service. I was looking for a rental and asked for a quote. Received one over the phone and then was texted another quote that was $120 more than the verbal one, and was more than double the quotes I received anywhere else. I asked for pictures of the costume and whoever was texting was rude about it and simply wrote back in all caps PASS. Totally their prerogative, as it is mine to give them a bad review as a result. As a note, their rental price was more than half the cost to buy the same costume. Find somewhere else if you're looking for a rental. read more

I used this place to hire a live Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story character to make an appearance. It was for a special even at a movie theater. We did like a promo there for the new Toy Story movie and we thought it would be a really fun idea to have Buzz himself come out in person to watch the movie! It worked out great and it was a really fun unexpected promo and surprise for the kids. It was easy to work with the agency and I made the arrangements in a couple of short phone calls. I was VERY impressed with the queslity of the Buzz costume that they use. It looks really professional and for something you get from a local company it seems like they use high quality mascots. We do these promos couple times a year so I would definitely consider them for the future. read more

We rented a totally cute Elmo and Abby Cadabby party characters from this company. We had a whole sesame street style party at an event center at a park near our house. We had both characters come out for 1.5 hours. The costumes looked amazing and the kids reactions to having them come to the party was worth every penny. Very professional looking mascot costumes and also the people wearing them Greg and Julie really did a nice job. It was a warm day so I felt a little bad with them being stuck inside these costumes but they never showed it. They were really upbeat and kept things moving along the whole time. You can see in the pics that the kids were really into it. If your kids are still small enough to be into cartoon characters, this seems like a good place to get it. read more

I rented one of the paw patrol mascot costumes from this place.  We didn't want to hire a live character due to covid but we still wanted to do something fun. We ordered online and the costume came about 2 days before.  It looked good, kinda hard to see out the front but it was fine cuz we really didn't do much besides take pics with the kids.  We kept it a couple days and sent it back after. Pretty good deal overall, we had it for the entire party and got lots of pics. Easy, fun way to add something to a party without spending a ton of money. read more

CROOKS OF THE CROOKS Anyone following me knows I never do bad reviews unless I really really mean it. These guys RUINED my baby's birthday party. UNPROFESSIONAL SCAM ARTIST CROOKS THEVES IMMATURE NASTY Name it. I would never even tell my worst enemy to hire them. No one deserves to be treated the way we where treated and embarrassed I front of all our guest. I feel so patiently about this review and I hope that I can save other people from making the same mistake as me. I had called and booked them from 2 months in advance. In all my bookings I booked the petting zoo from 11am-2pm. On my conversations and confirmation texts and emails all said from 11am-2pm. On the day of the party they came and set up at 11am, (not a second earlier) Right at 11:30am, their attend came up to my husband made an entire seen that he needed his money RIGHT NOW because he has to pack up and leave. I was confused and asked why and that we had them reserved till 2pm. He called his boss who said absolutely no give our money and pack it up. I obviously refused to give the money and they man packed up and left. The petting Zoo was set up for no more than 10 minutes before the man came demanding for his money and they where not willing to accommodate and figure it out at a later time or accept that I had them booked for 3 hours. I have never been so mortified or humiliated In front of all our family and friends, by a vendor! That was supposed to be our entertainment for the kids. And here is the cherry on top, I sent and email with all our conversations, text, confirmation of payments and asked for a refund - no answer. Pleaser please please use ANY OTHER COMPANY OUT THERE. It's not worth it. read more

Absolute scam of a company. Completely unprofessional, rude behavior from the business owner. Does not care about providing a professional and comfortable experience and seems to be more interested in berating and abusing potential clients and employees. I will not post the details of my interaction with him as my communication with him was volatile, and the instability I experienced was honestly a little frightening. I cannot believe he works on events for families. I felt it was important to post a warning to any consumers or businesses thinking of using the company, especially those with kids. I would NEVER permit this owner around my children whatsoever. read more

I had a great experience with this company. I used them to rent a combination jumper and slide for a bunch of 5,6 and 7 year olds. The jumper they sent looked great, just like the pic they emailed me ahead of time. Their setup process was really smooth and I appreciated that they showed up super early so it was all ready to go by the time my party started. They were also very good with their price. They gave me a great deal and even beat the best quote I had been given. Really easy to work with and I'll for sure use them again. read more

I was involved with trying to plan my little cousin's 6th bday party. We had it over the 7/4 week so we combined everything into one big party both for the 4th and his bday. That meant we had a TON of kids and obviously we needed something fun for them to be able to do. We have a pool so that took care of part of it but you have to do something extra fun if it's a birthday party especially since it's also the 4th with so many kids and adults. I think we had almost 75 people! So we called a few places to rent jumpys but unfortunately everyone was sold out probably because of the holiday. Finally got an email back from this place and so glad we got in touch with them because the jumpy we rented from them was PERFECT for a big party and kids ages 2- 12.  It looked great, Alejandro the guy who brought it was super nice and got it all set up smoothly and wayyyy before our party even started like 9am which was great. Everything was already out of the way when we went to set up the tables, chairs and bbq area. The kids spent the whole day in and out of the pool and jumper and it definitely gave them somthing fun to do. It was a big unit and pretty reasonable for the price especially considering it was kind of a last minute order on a major holiday. read more

Keep away from this business. I paid a $250 deposit for a pony and a character for my daughter's birthday. The total quoted cost was $550. After a week, I get an email saying the pony has an ear infection, asking if I could either move the party to another day (nope, party is in 10 days) or keep the character only. Well, what does Jeff do? Aside from having a very rude tone (after me being understanding), he basically stole from me. Jeff increases the price of the character to $350. He claims he had sent me an itemized quote saying this was always the price. Nope. Never had an itemized quote. Besides, when does a pony only cost 200? Per their website, a character is $215 and a pony is $385 per hour. The pricing was based off of this. Again, no itemized quote. Instead of arguing, I say just refund and cancel, because you can't deliver the full service anyway. So what does Jeff do? He offers only $150 back even though in writing he said "you can cancel and get your entire deposit back". So my options with Jeff and Fun Factory Party are as follows: 1. Pay $350 for a $215 character ($135 swindle) 2. Get $150 of my $250 deposit back ($100 swindle) Even if I went with the first shakedown, what is to say I won't get another note from Jeff saying the character suddenly can't make it. Now I am out $250 and nothing for the party as he still refuses to give the deposit back. Unethical. Shady. Stay away. read more

We rented a facepainter lady from this place for a holiday party a week before xmas. Ended up with about 45 kids. They had sent out 2 people to paint the kids faces and also make glitter tattooes and other types of facepaint style decorations. It was fun, seems like maybe the girls were a little bit more into it than the boys but all in all I think they kids all liked it. Good thing is they can do diff types os styles like if the boys want a superhero spiderman or whatever they can get that, and if the girls want like rainbows etc they can do pretty much anything. It's all pretty simple and basic but the main thing is the kids have fun. The people they sent out were nice and came on time. read more

DO NOT look for servoce through this company. They are beyond rude & clearly don't care about customer service. This is the most unprofessional business I've ever dealt with. I inquired about a rental for my sons birthday and their response was rude from the beginning but the last response was unnecessary. They should not be running a business if they hate what they do this much. Find another job/business to run. Clearly was raised with poor people skills and no manners. Don't bother inquiring through them! I saw another similar review from someone else. read more

We hired a Cocomelon party mascot entertainer from this company to come out to a 4 year old bday party. I was a little bit hesitant because I've been to some parties where the costume they send out does not look good or like the actual character. This company does have pics of their Cocomelon online but still you never really know and I've seen some weird looking mascots in the past at other parties. The Cocomelon they sent out looked perfect, you can see in the pics from our party that it looks exactly like the real Cocomelon and also the costume is new. They did some party games and a few Cocomelon songs and at the end posed for pictures with everyone. To have someone come out live in our area during this time was a real find, took our party to another level and gave the kids something fun to do finally after all this time having to stay at home. read more

If your child's party or celebration is important to you, please do not use this company. Clearly things happen, unforeseen traffic or delays, yet the clown that was supposed to perform at my child's birthday showed up extremely late. There was only 20 minutes left in the event when they arrived and most of the children had already left. As opposed to the owner calling to apologize to my wife, he began threatening her with sending the family to collections unless the balance be paid in full. If my business missed the mark like this one did, the first thing I would be doing would be calling with an apology as opposed to threatening a woman with collection agencies and further financial penalties. Please, seek a different company for what should be a joyous celebration.! read more

I rented 2 refreshment machines from this company for a small company party we had last week. It was kind of thrown together at the last minute and we decided to maybe have some fun snacks for people to eat during the event. We knew it was going to be a hot day and our event was outside, so why not have some snowcones?? Come on, you don't have to be a kid to like a snowcone on a hot day! We also got a popcorn machine because hey, everyone loves fresh popcorn right? The company was overall very helpful and easy to work with. The machines looked great and they were able to deliver them on short notice a few hours before our event. Everything was set up and ready in place long before the event actually started. The machines were super easy to operate but even so Alejandro the guy who delivered them gave us a quick tutorial before he left. Pricing was pretty good especially considering they deliver and pick up. Just a quick call and the whole thing was ready to go! read more
