CENTRAL KENTUCKY’S CONCESSION RENTALS

The Cheapest Upgrade at Any Event

Fifty dollars buys a machine that runs all afternoon and gives every kid something to come back for. It is the smallest line item on most of our invoices and the one people mention afterward.

Two Machines, $49.99 Each

A popcorn machine and a sno cone machine. Rent one or both. Either way it is the cheapest thing on your order.

Cleaned Between Every Event

Kettles, scoops, and hoppers are washed after every rental. Food equipment that is not clean does not leave our shop.

We Show You How to Run It

We do not just drop it and go. Our crew plugs it in, runs a batch, and makes sure somebody there knows how to use it.

Runs on a Regular Outlet

Both machines plug into a standard household outlet. No generator needed unless you are out in a field.

Keeps a Line Moving

A sno cone machine at a summer festival or a popcorn machine at a fall event gives the crowd somewhere to go between activities.

Book Right From Your Phone

See prices, check your date, and add a machine to your order in minutes. No phone tag, no waiting on a callback.

Why People Add Concessions

You’re Not Renting a Machine. You’re Buying the Smell That Makes Kids Line Up.

Popcorn and sno cones do something food off a table does not. Kids line up for them, come back for seconds, and remember them. For fifty dollars that is hard to beat.

Kids Come Back for Seconds

A sno cone machine gets worked harder than anything else at a summer party. It never runs out of takers.

Cheap Way to Feel Generous

Free popcorn at your event costs almost nothing and reads as hospitality every single time.

Something for Between Activities

When the inflatable has a line, the concession stand is where everyone else goes.

We Deliver and Pick Up

Delivered, set up, demoed, and collected afterward. No hauling a heavy machine in your trunk.

Easy Enough for a Volunteer

Both machines are simple. A teenager can run one after a two-minute walkthrough.

You Can Trust Who Shows Up

Licensed, insured, and on time. You know exactly who is coming down your driveway.

This company was awesome! We ordered a water slide/bounce house for a birthday party and it arrived earlier than we were told which meant more time to enjoy! We also rented the yard pong for adults, both were in use the entire time we had them. Really appreciate Ricky for making the party more than we could have ask for. We will be renting again SOON

Wonderful company to work with! We rented tables and chairs but had to make a last minute event change due to flooding! Backyard Responders was happy to accommodate our request to change the date and they were very kind and understanding of the circumstances. Highly recommended!

10/10 We were highly satisfied with not only the inflatable/tables/yard game we rented but the A+ Service we received as well. The owner himself was there to set up for us. His hospitality was outstanding. He was kind and personable. Set the equipment up in record time. The whole neighborhood was impressed. My kids had the best birthday party yet. Theyโ€™ve already told me they want to do this again next year. && Backyard Responders will be my go to business for all of our Inflatable needs in the future. Highly recommend his services. And to top it off the price was super reasonable. I checked out multiple sites before making my decision and this was the best bang for your buck!

We host our annual Strong Families Resource Fair at the Housing Authority of Danville. This year, we had the pleasure of working with Backyard Responders, and Ricky was fantastic! He and his team were very professional and clearly explained all the safety rules for the Firehouse inflatable. The children and their families had a wonderful time. I highly recommend them! Additionally, we rented two tabletop games, Jenga and Connect Four. Thank you, Backyard Responders!

Very good communication with timely delivery and pick up. We ordered 20 tables and a popcorn machine. All were clean and in working order. Ricky's patience with us as we navigated payments (items were for a non-profit event/organization and dealing with donations to then send out as payment was complicated) and paperwork was very appreciated. We will be renting items again in the near future and we would definitely recommend Backyard Responders to anyone else! Also, regarding the table rental and popcorn machine, the price was MUCH cheaper than competitors!

Ricky was great to work with. We needed a 10x20 tent - very last minute - and Ricky got us exactly what we needed within 2 hours. It was a good quality tent. Will call him again next time we need one!

We rented two tents at the last minute for our granddaughterโ€™s wedding from Backyard Responders. Ricky was able to provide us with exactly what we needed. Set up was on time and take down was on time , the price was good and the service Ricky provided was professional and helpful. We would definitely rent from him again when we need tents!

I rented some tables and chairs from Backyard Responders for a large event. Their online ordering was so simple and they immediately confirmed my order and sent instructions. They were flexible and wonderful to work with. The tables and chairs were clean and like new and perfect for my event. I will absolutely use them again soon.

Ricky with backyard responders was awesome. I was planning a birthday party and he was super patient, helpful, and accommodating with whatever we wanted or needed. Although the weather/wind was unsafe for the inflatable that day- he provided other last minute and was happy to do whatever would help. They also have tables and chairs- that are reasonably priced and are super clean! He offered to setup those as well. Definitely will be working with Ricky & Backyard Responders!

CONCESSION RENTAL QUESTIONS

Common Concession Rental Questions

Here is what Central Kentucky families, churches, and schools ask most before they book.

Two: a popcorn machine and a sno cone machine. Both are $49.99, both plug into a standard household outlet, and both are simple enough for a volunteer to run.
Each machine is $49.99. Delivery, setup, and pickup are free within 20 miles of Lancaster, KY. Adding a machine to an inflatable rental or a tent rental costs nothing extra in delivery because it all comes on the same truck.
Ask us when you book. Supply packs are handled separately from the machine rate, so tell us your expected guest count and we will make sure you have enough kernels, oil, syrup, and cups for the day rather than running out halfway through.
No. We plug it in, run a batch with you, and do not leave until somebody there is comfortable with it. Both machines are the same ones you see at school carnivals. A teenager can run either one after a two-minute walkthrough.
A standard household outlet is enough for either machine. If your event is in a field or a park with no power nearby, add our Predator 9000 generator to the order and everything runs off that.
Yes, and most people do. Add a machine to the same order and it arrives with everything else. Our party packages bundle concessions with an inflatable, tables, and chairs so one booking covers the whole event.
