Great catch! Here's the updated version with that line smoothed out: A planner's secret weapon for bar & bat mitzvahs. As a corporate and social event planner with over two decades in the industry, I have very high standards for the vendors I bring into my events. The Fun Claw has earned a permanent spot on my preferred vendor list -- I've hired them for multiple bar and bat mitzvahs, and they never miss. From the first inquiry, the booking process is seamlessly easy. They're responsive, clear about logistics, and a genuine pleasure to coordinate with -- which matters enormously when you're managing a complex mitzvah weekend with high expectations from both the kids and the parents. No surprises, no last-minute stress. Just a professional team that shows up ready to deliver. And the guest reaction? Pure magic. The moment those claw machines hit the party floor, the kids swarm them -- and honestly, so do the adults. It becomes an instant focal point of the room, driving energy, laughter, and the kind of genuine excitement that keeps guests engaged all night long. It layers beautifully into the overall party experience and always leaves a lasting impression. If you're planning a bar or bat mitzvah and want an entertainment element that truly lands with every age group in the room, The Fun Claw is a no-brainer. They make my clients happy, and they make my job easier. That's a combination I'll keep booking. read more

We wanted to do something unique for our wedding and after seeing The Fun Claw at another wedding on social media, we knew it had to be. Everyone at our wedding LOVED the claw machine and it was busy ALL night. It was a total hit for all ages, and we even had people play it multiple times throughout the wedding. People were raving about it and showing off their prizes throughout the night. Josh was responsive, kind, easy-going, and was able to answer all and any questions prior to booking and leading up to the wedding. Josh had numerous machines and plushies to choose from and even let us throw in our own prizes, such as labubus and personalized t-shirts. The machine was well-stocked for our 3.5 hour reception and never ran out of prizes. His pricing was reasonable and he was on time for set-up and tear-down. We would definitely rent from The Fun Claw again for our next event!! read more

We recently booked The Fun Claw for our wedding vow renewal and it was over the top, delightful and so much fun! From the moment we connected with the team, everything was seamless and personal. They were friendly, responsive and genuinely excited about helping make our event extra special. The pricing was impressively fair. We reviewed their package list ahead of time and felt the value was excellent given what was included -- the machine, plushies, bonus games, customization options -- all at a transparent fixed rate. On the day of the event, the claw-machine setup arrived right on time and looked fantastic - clean, bright, fun décor that drew everyone in. Our guests had a blast -- the anticipation as the plushies tumbled, the cheers when someone snagged one, it added a magical, playful vibe to the celebration. One thing we loved: The Fun Claw let us truly customize our package to our wedding-renewal theme. They made it easy, flexible and fun. They sent the rental agreement in good time, they handled everything professionally yet with warmth. If you're planning a wedding, renewal, birthday or special event and want something unique that guests will talk about -- book The Fun Claw. Fair pricing, amazing experience, super friendly team. We couldn't have asked for better. Highly recommended! read more

The claw machine was such a hit at my wedding! My guests loved the surprise claw machine upon arriving and were all glued to the machine. I think the machine was set on easy mode because it was basically emptied by the time I came up to play. My coordinator told me she removed some piece inside the machine to make it harder for the guests. Overall I definitely recommend booking the fun claw machine! read more

I wanted to book a Claw Machine for my wedding because...I am a bit of a Claw Machine addict! Regardless, from the beginning, Josh has been very open in communication with me. It was easy for me to book wit him, although I wouldn't book with him as early as I did. He was also professional in coming to my event (Wedding!) early enough to set up the Claw Machine. Unexpectedly, the Claw Machine was a HUGE hit! My guests LOVED playing with the machine, and by the time I wanted to play more, the plushies were OUT! So many of my guests raved about how fun the machine was! Also, the price for the package I purchased was actually pretty good! The Claw Machine was definitely a highlight to my wedding, and an unforgettable memory I won't forget. Thank you to Josh and his company! read more

I just realized this review is long over due!! I apologize Josh!!! My sister actually had the great idea of having a claw machine! It was the most pleasant experience with Joshua from the initial inquiry to setting up and picking up. We had the Fun Claw for my daughters Spooktacular 4 birthday party and let me tell ya, it was the ish!! we couldn't have had a better attraction!! Although it was a mad house with the kids taking turns it was sooo much fun and the kids got to take multiple turns and take home multiple prizes! Joshua gave us the option of having the machine filled with a ton of plushies that fit were our daughter's favs plus we were able to include additional toys, and capsules which we filled with money and goodies!! I haven't seen a claw machine at any other party yet so it was so cool to set the bar. I Highly recommend if you're considering it the slight bit because you won't be disappointed. Thank you once again Josh!! read more

HIT. OF. THE. NIGHT! 100/10 recommend. Best decision we made was finding Joshua and The Fun Claw - so glad we decided to invite them to our wedding back in April. Josh made it super easy to book, answered all my questions, and even worked with me to put what we wanted into the machine. Guests were obsessed with this all night! Fantastic customer service and will definitely be hiring them again for my future events! read more

I was looking for a fun activity for a community event and I am so glad I booked The Fun Claw! The machine was a huge hit with a line the entire time. The machine had a good mix of prizes and everyone was excited to try and win. I liked that we could also add in our own prizes and Josh explained how to customize the difficulty level by adding or removing the rubber grippers on the claw. Booking and communication with Josh was super easy and I appreciate the good customer service! I'm looking forward to booking with them again! Would highly recommend for any event! read more

Great addition to my daughter's 1st birthday! Everyone loved it. Josh was very communicative and made everything was easy.

We rented the twin claw machine for my baby's first bday and it was a hit! We had 30 kids coming and I was stressing about what activity/entertainment to plan for them when I came across Fun Claw. This was perfect--kept the kids AND grown adults busy! The parents were telling me that their kids said "it was the best birthday party ever" which made me so happy to hear and so relieved. Josh was super easy to work with. We communicated via email throughout the entire process (which I prefer because I like having written documentation), but was able to get everything ironed out for the big day. I had to adjust event time and he was super flexible and was able to get everything set up well in advance of guests arriving. Would definitely work with this team again! And highly recommend for any event! read more

I love claw machines, so when I heard about The Fun Claw, I had to have them at my son's first birthday! Everything was super easy from my inquiry to setup and pickup. Extra props to them because they were so accommodating when I had to do a bit of back and forth to make sure all of my strict HOA's requirements were met. The claw machine was a total hit with everyone--kids and adults couldn't get enough. Such a fun addition to the party! Highly recommend! read more

Everything about working with The Fun Claw was amazing. We ordered a claw machine for our wedding. Josh was very responsive, answered all my questions, and made my job really easy. The claw machine was also a huge hit at the wedding! read more

Booked the Fun Claw for my daughter's 18th birthday. We upgraded to get a few sphere containers to add gift cards too and purchased Sanrio, Disney and Labubu's to add to the plushies that already come with the package. The teens and adults had the best time with the claw machine. There were kids glued to the machine the whole night watching what others were able to get. Fun way to divvy out party favors and it was a hit with the guests! Would highly recommend using the Fun Claw! read more

I found The Fun Claw on insta and wanted to rent them. They have couple different machine options. I wanted a claw machine for my son's first birthday. I find these claw machine very creative to have at parties and especially weddings. Our theme was pokemon so I pre-bought pokemon plushes to add to the machine but fun claw does have options for them to provide toys or plushies for the machine. Communication was very fast and very professional. They dropped off the machine showed me how to use it and after the party was over they came to pick it up. It was a very BIG hit at the party the machine always had a line and my guest love it. If you're looking to add something new and fun to your party or wedding I highly recommend getting a claw machine. Will most likely be booking with fun claw again. read more

This is our second time working with The Fun Claw. Josh and his team are so professional. The machine was a massive hit at my eight-year-old's birthday party. We didn't need anything else.! The kids just kept on lining up for this machine. Highly recommend !!! read more

Amazing company and great team - super easy to work with for my custom 300 person event. They customized the signage and showed up on time for setup, clear explanation, easy use and easy takedown. They took care of everything and would 100% use them again everyone loved it. read more

Service: quick response, thorough and detailed quote. 2 people delivered the claw machines, the toys were inside. They provided the coins and key to reload the machine. Machines were clean, and they have new standard sizes with awesome lighting. We also got our own toys to put into the machine. I works definitely rent from then again!! read more

We had the fun claw at my daughter's 3rd Birthday party in May 2025 and it was a major hit with all the kids (small kids, big kids, and even some biggest kids, the adults ) Joshua and his wife were absolutely amazing and professional! They were on it from quote request to contract, details, drop off, and pick up. (The set up inside the machine was beautifully placed) the attention to detail definitely showed. Thank you The Fun Claw! For a memorable event! read more

We've hosted several parties throughout the years with the usual jumpers and characters, but this year we wanted to try something different for our kids' birthday and renting a claw machine was the best decision we could've made! It was an absolute hit with the kids and adults!!! Who knew these kids were already pros at using the claw? The only thing we'd change is adding more plushies because they were going at it all night! We had about 50 kids and the machine held up perfectly. Communication with Josh was excellent, on time, professional, and he made the whole process so easy. We'll definitely be renting from FunClaw again. Highly recommend! read more

Used the fun claw for my daughter's 5th bday. The owners were very helpful and so sweet!! They made it so easy from booking, asking the party theme to picking up. The kids and adults at my daughter's bday party had such a great time! My neighbors across the street are using them now for their kid's bday party. This is the real deal claw machine! NOT a rinky dink machine you see MOST of the time! Definitely will be using them again for both my kids bdays!! read more

Very fun and professional. Would recommend to everyone. They came on time and communicated very well how to use the machine

Awesome! The claw machine was a big hit at our son's 8 year old party! We would definitely rent again!

The claw machine was such a great hit at my son's birthday party, and I had multiple guest tell me that they were going to have it at their events in the future. Working with Josh was extremely simple, cordial, and professional. The process was extremely simple. Contacted Josh, signed contract, send small deposit. Then the day of the event, he texted 30 minutes before the event to keep me updated about his whereabouts, and I had designated a space for him. Josh had filled it up with some really great gifts. The dolls that he had were soft and squishy. There were some rubber balls, the kids really enjoyed playing with it, some really good quality small squishable toys, and a few beanie babies. These gifts were a lot better than I thought. Honestly, didn't expect the balls to do so well, but they loved it. Overall, the claw machines are not like the scammy ones you see on the streets. Josh will explain to you, during setup, how difficult he can make the game. This is what makes it so great. The kids are actually winning, some on their first try, but most on their 2nd/3rd try. It really is a great experience, and I can't recommend Josh and The Fun Claw enough. Thank you Josh and your team! read more

I saw The Fun Claw pop up on my Instagram feed that a couple had a Claw Machine at their wedding! This prompted me to reach out to the Owner Joshua Ochoa. He got back to me within the day via email and then we switched to texting which was more convenient. He is very straight forward and easy to work with on what type of machine you want, the types of plushies and the cost. Joshua is very transparent and flexible in how you want the claw machine to arrive as well. I wanted it to be a surprise for my wife for our wedding and it went so smooth that my wife only realized there was a machine there right before our Grand Entrance! The Machine was a hit and our guest were asking on how they can get a Claw Machine for their events as well. I would recommend this company to anyone out there asking about claw machine rentals. My recommendation is that when getting the claw machine, get more plushies than usual. The cost of getting your own versus through Joshua is better for both your time and money. You might as well support him because the claw machine is such a hit that it'll probably get cleaned out within an hour! The claw machine can pick up Labubu Boxes! Anyways, 5/5 would recommend this company for their claw machines. Book fast because this is up and coming! read more

The kids loved the fun claw at our birthday party! I definitely recommend this place!

Rented a claw machine for my daughter's 4th birthday party which was a hit! Very professional and responsive communication, I very much appreciate Josh being flexible and accommodating as much as possible. Set-up is super convenient. They come by to drop off and pick up the machine. The plushies and knobbie balls were awesome, I would definitely rent from them again. Thank you! read more

Josh and his team came through for us on a VERY last minute request for a conference after our first vendor was unable to deliver. Responding late through the night and over the weekend, The Fun Claw team were absolute lifesavers - calm, cool, and collected through and through. Excellent communication, outstanding delivery, cannot recommend this phenomenal team enough. Thank you! read more

This machine was a hit for my daughter birthday party. Excellent customer service and very communicative as well. You are also able to give them a theme to they can customize the items for inside the machine. It truly was a hit at our party. I would definitely recommend Josh to my friends and family. read more

10000% would hire them again! Genuinely friendly and professional people! Due to traffic, they were 30 minutes late but they were super apologetic and worked with us to make sure we had enough time for our guests to enjoy the claw machine. It was perfect! Joshua, you have a forever customer over here! Thank you so much for making our night extra special! I will post photos when I get it from my photographer :) read more

Fantastic, Josh was super to work with. The machine was delivered to the party and filled with an assortment of fun stuffed animals & knobby balls. Josh worked with me to have special items added to add to the fun & he recommended the right number of prizes for the guests and timeframe of my daughter's graduation party. Our guests had a fabulous time playing and it was certainly a hit of the party for the young & old alike...we received so many comments of how many prizes were won and there was never a time when the interest level waned...the guests kept playing. We received so many compliments on the party and the claw machine was most certainly part of the reason. read more
