Every step of the way Game Craze was professional. Our school needed to pass a levy before we confirmed After-Prom, so we were late signing a contract. Game Craze worked tirelessly with us to assure we had equipment at our events. Brian was my calm during it all. He worked with me while I was on vacation and more. The days leading to the event, he was very reassuring. The day of the event Doug and Seth were awesome. Very Professional and we 100%will use them again next year.

Balloon Capital of the World

1912

The First Cigar-Shaped Balloons

Until 1912, toy balloons were round. That year an Ashland inventor worked out how to make them long and cigar-shaped, and the rubber industry that grew up around it made Ashland known as “the balloon capital of the world”. The city still celebrates every June with BalloonFest at Freer Field, with balloon glows and a kid fun zone.

Ashland Event Rental FAQ

Do you deliver everywhere in Ashland’s 44805 ZIP code?

Yes. Ashland is all one ZIP code, 44805, and we deliver across it, from downtown and the Ashland University campus out to the U.S. 250 corridor. We also cover the rest of Ashland County. Put your address on the quote form and we’ll confirm.

How far is Ashland from your warehouse?

We drive over from our Norton warehouse, roughly 45 miles and about an hour. We plan the trip ahead so everything is set up before your guests arrive.

Can we set up a bounce house at Brookside Park?

Ask the City first. Pavilions at Brookside Park and Brookside West are reserved through the city’s Pavilion Rental form, and pavilions are open until 10 p.m. The city’s pages don’t mention inflatables, so check with Ashland Parks and Recreation before you book. If they approve, we can send a certificate of insurance.

What about downtown at Corner Park?

Corner Park is run by Ashland County, not the city. Its usage policy requires liability insurance for activities like bounce houses, with the county added as an additional insured, sent 7 days before the event. Reservations open up to 6 months ahead. We can provide that certificate.

Can you staff an after-prom or a campus event that runs late?

Yes. Our attendants run the attractions all night, so chaperones and student leaders can watch the crowd instead of the equipment. Tell us the start and end times when you ask for a quote.

Do you work with Ashland schools and PTOs?

Yes. We work with schools and PTOs across the area. We send the school or PTO a certificate of insurance (COI) naming them, and our attendants can run the attractions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredibly professional! I rented the rock wall and obstacle course for last year's party and the kids had a blast... all the attendees were incredibly nice and competent. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with, as well! I would rate them 6/5 if I could. Hiring them again for this year's party and added the bungy cord thingamajig.... cannot wait!!!!
