Why Chicago Families, Schools & Companies Book With School Event Rental Chicago
Choosing a party rental company means putting your event, your guests, and your children’s safety in someone else’s hands. School Event Rental Chicago has earned that trust across hundreds of Chicago events through certified training, rigorous cleaning protocols, institutional partnerships, and attentive service from the moment we arrive to the moment we leave. Here’s what makes us different.
Hands On Experience Across Hundreds of Events
School Event Rental Chicago has provided inflatable rentals and party equipment for everything from intimate backyard birthday parties to large scale corporate outings for organizations like Nike, Target, Home Depot, and the Chicago Cubs. Every rental includes an on site safety briefing led by our trained crew, who walk you through capacity limits, supervision guidelines, and emergency procedures before your event begins.
SIOTO Certified Safety Operations
Our team is certified through the Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization (SIOTO), the industry's recognized benchmark for inflatable safety training. That certification covers proper anchoring techniques, electrical safety around blowers, real time weather assessment, and emergency deflation protocols. Illinois doesn't require SIOTO certification, but we pursue it because cutting corners on children's safety is something we refuse to do.
Trusted by Chicago's Largest Institutions
School Event Rental Chicago is a CPS Approved Vendor, meaning we've cleared background checks and are listed in the Chicago Public Schools procurement system. We also regularly serve Chicago Park District locations and Cook County Forest Preserve sites. Organizations including UIC, Rush, Boys & Girls Club, the Salvation Army, and LA Fitness continue to book with us thanks to our consistent reliability and thorough insurance documentation.
Clean Equipment, Transparent Practices
Every inflatable is sanitized before and after each rental using commercial grade, kid safe disinfectants that meet DisinfectIt standards. Our team pays particular attention to high touch surfaces, climbing stairs, side handles, and landing zones and dries each unit completely to prevent mold or mildew. All equipment is stored in a climate controlled facility between events, and we carry general liability insurance through an "A" rated carrier.
