With so many choices out there it can be overwhelming to find a bounce house rental company. Luckily we found Michele with Merry Minstrel! She has a great selection of bounce houses, was responsive and extremely professional. Her staff delivered and picked up as promised! Would definitely recommend them!

First off renting a bounce house for a birthday can be really stressful especially since you worry if it will arrive on time for your party !
Michelle was very professional and exceeded my expectations as far being prompt on time of delivery and pick up . The quality of the bounce house was amazing . Perfect for our toy story theme . I was hesitant on renting because of covid however she went over their cleaning process as well and I felt very safe it was very clean. Her staff did a great job on placement of the bounce and securing the device. Look no further . Thank you all and I will be calling

Merry Minstrel came highly recommended from a local Facebook page I'm on. After giving them a call to see if a water slide would work in our backyard and sending them pictures we rented the 15ft double water slide for my son's birthday and it was a BLAST. They dropped it off and picked it up on time. Very clean and professional. My kids are already planning our next birthday. lol. Thank you guys again.
