Real Reviews. Real Families. Real Fun.
By far the best birthday experience we've had! They dropped the bouncy house off Saturday morning and picked up Sunday morning. Very prompt, set everything up, and came first thing Sunday. Definitely our go-to low-maintenance birthday party accessory!
10/10 recommend Ricky with Backyard Responders! Everything from communication, set up and take down was a breeze. They came, set up the bounce house, cleaned it thoroughly, and on pickup they came early the next morning. We've already said this is a staple at our parties!
Could not ask for a friendlier or more professional set up. The bounce house was a big hit but we absolutely loved their customer service. Will 100% use their services again! Thanks a lot for helping make our party great!!!
One of the best water slide/bounce house combos ever! Super responsive and were there exactly when they said. All text contact which was very convenient. Set up and take down quick. Highly recommend this company!!

Concession Rental FAQ
What concession machines do you rent?
We rent two concession machines: a commercial-grade sno-cone machine and a commercial-grade popcorn machine, both priced at $49.99. Supplies are included with each rental. Both machines require a standard 120V electrical outlet. If your event does not have nearby power, we also rent a Predator 9000 generator for $125 that can power both machines simultaneously.
Do supplies come with the concession machine rental?
Yes — supplies are included with every concession machine rental. The sno-cone machine comes with flavor syrups, cones, and starter cups. The popcorn machine comes with popcorn kernels, oil, and bags. If you need additional supplies for a very large event, text us before your rental date and we can arrange extras.
Do the concession machines need electricity?
Yes — both the sno-cone machine and popcorn machine require a standard 120V electrical outlet within reach of the setup area. If your event is in a location without nearby power, we rent a Predator 9000 generator for $125 that can power both machines plus inflatables, speakers, and lighting simultaneously.
Can I rent both the sno-cone and popcorn machine at the same time?
Absolutely — and it is one of our most popular combos. Sno cones for the heat, popcorn for snacking. Both come on the same delivery truck with your other rentals. Running both machines requires two standard 120V outlets or the generator rental.
Can I add a concession machine to my bounce house or tent rental?
Yes — concession machines are add-ons that ship on the same truck as your bounce house, tent, tables, chairs, or any other rental. There is no separate delivery fee when you bundle. A set up of a popcorn or sno-cone machine on a 4-foot table under a 10x20 canopy is the classic party concession station setup.
How do I operate the sno-cone or popcorn machine?
Both machines are plug-and-play simple. The sno-cone machine: add ice to the hopper, place a cone under the dispenser, press the button. The popcorn machine: add oil and kernels to the kettle, switch it on, and wait about 3 minutes for the first batch. We walk you through operation at delivery and leave instruction cards with each machine.
