Events FAQ

What are my package options when booking a Go-Go to You party?

We offer two at-home party packages: Bounce Around and Bounce Around Bash! These packages include bouncy castles, face painting, electronic invitations and more. Details on each of these exciting package options can be found here.

Where are Go-Go to You parties held?

You are able to host Go-Go to You parties at any off-site location of your choice that can accommodate our castle dimensions. Some suitable spaces include a large back yard, a community hall, etc.

Are there any special requirements for the location where I want to host my party?

To set up our bouncy castles, we require a facility with access to electrical outlets. For outdoor events, we require access to a flat, grassy area. For indoor events, depending on the castle rented, we require between 10 – 16ft overhead clearance. Measurements of each castle can be found here.

What happens if it rains on the day of my outdoor party?

When booking outdoor events, we suggest having an indoor alternative in case of rain, or providing a rain date at the time of booking in case of cancellation due to weather. In the case of inclement weather on the day of your event we will require notice at least 3 hours in advance to provide you with a credit for your event.

Cancellation Information

Should the host cancel the birthday party, the fee is non-refundable and non-transferrable. In the event that the host decides to cancel the party due to inclement weather, and an alternative location is not available, Go-Go Gymnastics will make sure a make-up date is promptly available.

When will Go-Go staff arrive to set up?

Please expect our staff to arrive 20-30 minutes prior to the event, and leave approximately 20-30 minutes after the reservation in order to provide sufficient set-up and tear-down time.

Do parents of party guests need to be present?

Our experienced staff will supervise the children while they are in the bouncy castles, as well as fully run the face painting, glitter tattoos and parachute games.

Do I need to know how many children will be attending when I book my party?

In order to reserve the required amount of coaches, please confirm your expected number of party guests as soon as it is available. Please contact Go-Go no later than a week in advance of your party if you wish to change the number of children attending your event.

How early should I book my party?

We encourage you to book as early in advance as possible, as Go-Go parties are very popular, and therefore, spaces fill up quickly!

In cases of inclement weather, we request a 24-hour notice period to reschedule to an alternate date. If notification is not given at least 24 hours prior to the event, or if our team provides services for part of the event and then you must cancel because of inclement weather, Go-Go cannot offer a full credit to your account for the services. Go-Go Group Inc. encourages all clients to have a planned alternate date, or rain location in the case of inclement weather.

How many staff work at each event?

The number of staff at your event will depend on the amount of services you book. Typically, each service you book will come with one staff member to facilitate it unless otherwise specified.

How long will your team need for set up and tear down?

In most cases, 1 hour is enough time for set up and tear down of an event. However, in cases where multiple services or larger services such as our gymnastics equipment are booked, set up and tear down may take a bit longer. At the time of your booking we will specify how much time our team will need to set up and tear down the day of your event.

What are the electrical demands for your inflatable bouncers?

Each inflatable blower draws approximately 15 amps. As most circuits are 15-amp circuits, we will require a separate circuit for each inflatable castle rented. Should your event venue not have enough power available, Go-Go is happy to offer generator services at a rate of $65/hour. Please note, generator services must be booked at the time of the event booking.

How many inflatable bouncers can a Go-Go generator inflate at one time?

The Go-Go generator can power up to 4 inflatable bouncers at one time.

How much space do you need?

The amount of space we will need will vary depending on how many services you book. The dimensions of all of our bouncy castles are listed in the descriptions at this link. In addition, Go-Go requests a 10ft clearance on both sides and front of each castle for safety purposes.

Can your services be set up inside? If so, what locations are suitable?

All of our services can be set up indoors. Our bouncy castles require ceilings that are a minimum of 11-20 ft high, depending on the size of the castle you book. The dimensions of all of our bouncy castles are listed at this link.

How far in advance should I book?

In order to book an event for the date and time you prefer you should try to book at least one month in advance. Depending on the time of year, spaces can fill up very quickly so the earlier you can book, the better!

Will there be someone to attend to the castle? Or can I receive a different rate if I take the castle on my own?

Our attendants ensure safety, organization, liveliness and of course, fun! All Go-Go attendants are first-aid certified and have cleared criminal and social development checks.
