Paid for equipment ahead of time and now they won't answer the phone. Totally ghosted us. They took our money and ran. We never did get the equipment we rented.

Thanks to Bev and her team, my daughter's 6th birthday was the "best ever". The bounce house was clean, on time, and no hassle setup and pickup. I was surprised how quiet it was too! We will be using Beverly again soon and will recommend to friends and neighbors.

I rented a few items from this place for a carnival themed birthday party that I was having for my daughters. The truck showed up 15 mins before the party to set up. Relieved that they finally made it, we watched them set up the Carnival "Midway" and the included games. As they were setting up the Midway, they realized that they couldn't set up the games because they forgot the table to sit the games on!
They decided to use a picnic table from the park shelter that we rented. We needed that table for seating, so many of the children had to stand when eating. Also, after the party started, and the children were attempting to play the games, we quickly realized that one of the games was missing pieces needed in order for the game to be played. After calling Beverly for the 50th time that day to complain, she offered me a $6 refund (which I never received) for the truck forgetting the table.
Although the lack of the table, the time of delivery, the missing pieces to the game made the entire party look and feel like a joke. Carnival Times single handedly ruined my daughter's party, and I will never use or recommend their services again.

I will most definitely order from them again! Bev was professional and always a delight to speak with. She answered all of my questions right away. The staff that showed up to set up were polite as can be. I can't stress how easy the whole process was! And the kids had an absolute blast!
