Jeff and his crew are awesome! Hired him after our initial phone conversation when I realized how down to earth yet professional he was. Jeff and his team are thorough and thoughtful with what they have planned for music and I'm glad I hired him to help make our day magical!

We bought two foam machine for one of our events, and they work fantastic. They are super light, so we were able to move them to different locations and store them without any hassle. Greg at partymachines is a huge help if you ever have questions about setting up. They also provide helpful tutorial videos to set up the machines. The foam powder packs were also extremely cost-effective and worked just a good as the liquid solution we had been buying. The powder packs were six times less expensive than the liquid solution, so we were able to increase our margin on the event. Thanks, Partymachines!

PartyMachines is your goto shop for foam machines and soap. Great products and an incredibly knowledgeable team. Get in touch and let them tell you the pros/cons of powder vs liquid soap. They take their time and fit you with the best solution for your company or event.

If you are just looking for a DJ, this is way more than a DJ.they really do know how to make it a celebration. I have been using this company for 5 years for a single event every year. I have never had any issues and EVERYONE loves them. Some DJs just sit and play music, well you can do that with Spotify. I learned quickly to make an event fun you need way more than music. You need a company that has an lights which helps create the environment, an MC, and the ability to judge the audience and see what they like.
They really do become the party. Every year at our event they get everyone in the floor dancing. This was always my big fear, what if no one dances. If you want a good event this is the place to spend the money not on the decorations etc, The Party Machine knows how to really make an event great!

I've rented in the past and at the end of the day it was cheaper and made more sense to buy a machine. Kids love having it at parties!
