What We Supply

School Event Rentals on One Purchase Order: Stage, Sound and Screen

A graduation, an assembly and a field day are three different equipment lists from three different suppliers at most schools. With our school event rentals it is one vendor, one purchase order, one delivery and one pickup.

Who We Serve

Graduations, Assemblies, Field Days and PTA Fundraisers

Schools book differently from parents. You need a W-9, a certificate of insurance, a vendor number and a delivery window that does not collide with dismissal. We have done this since 2001 and the paperwork for your school event rentals is ready before you ask.

Graduations

Graduation party rentals here usually start with the stage. A graduation stage rental is a deck, one set of steps, black skirting and a microphone that carries to the back row.

  • Portable stage from $850 a day, steps included
  • Height adjusts 21.5 to 48 inches, levels on any floor
  • Skirting in black, light gray or white
  • ADA ramps sized to the deck height
  • Wireless microphone and PA for the name reading

Assemblies and Productions

An assembly is a sound and screen job. A gym eats sound, so the speaker count comes from the room and the headcount, not from a guess.

  • Projector and screen from $595
  • 120, 150 and 180 inch screens
  • Speakers sized to the gym or the auditorium
  • Wireless microphones for staff and students
  • Stage lighting for a school production

Field Days and School Fairs

Field day rentals are an outdoor logistics job. Power, anchoring and a hard pickup time matter more than the units themselves.

  • Over thirty inflatable units, indoor and outdoor
  • Obstacle courses, slides and inflatable games
  • Generators where there is no outdoor outlet
  • Canopies over the water table and the gear
  • Delivery, anchoring and pickup included

PTA Fundraisers and Family Nights

PTAs run on volunteers and a tight budget. A long-term helium cylinder kept at the school through the year costs less than a tank per event.

  • Long-term cylinder rental for the school year
  • Tanks from $195 for seven days, regulator included
  • No deposit on any tank size
  • Tables, chairs and canopies for the yard
  • One invoice, on a purchase order
Delivery

Purchase Orders, Delivery and Setup

We are an approved New York City Department of Education vendor, registered as Party Services Inc. We work on purchase orders for all school event rentals and we can send a W-9 and a certificate of insurance before you raise the requisition.

Delivery is free in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. Outside those three there is a delivery fee based on distance, quoted from your school address. Setup is included on every job, wherever it is.

Order before 11:30 am and it goes out the same day. After that, the next day. We will also hold a delivery window around your bell schedule so nothing arrives at dismissal.

Keeping it longer? Day two and day three are half price. A stage set up on Thursday for a Friday graduation costs the same as two days, not three, and it means the rehearsal happens on the real stage.

In every price: delivery where it is free, setup, stands, all cables and a technician who does not leave until it is working. Not in the price, and we say so before you book: delivery outside the free zone, stairs above two flights with no elevator ($195), and pickup after 10pm ($195).

We cover all five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, northern New Jersey, Connecticut and eastern Pennsylvania. Open seven days, 8am to 8pm.

How It Works

How Ordering Works

Four steps from the first call to the pickup.

    Call (718) 787-4477 or text us, or send the quote form, with the date, the room, the headcount and your PO details.

  • Get One Price

    One number covering the gear, the delivery and the setup, ready for your purchase order, with a W-9 and insurance certificate on request.

  • We Deliver and Set Up

    Setup is included on every order. Book before 11:30 am and it goes out the same day.

  • We Pick It Up

    We come back for everything after the event. A pickup after 10pm is $195, and we tell you before you book.

Common Questions About School Event Rentals

Yes. We are an approved New York City Department of Education vendor, registered as Party Services Inc. We work on purchase orders and can send a W-9 and a certificate of insurance before you raise the requisition.

Yes. School event rentals are almost always booked on a purchase order here. Send the PO number with the booking and we invoice against it. We have been doing school work since 2001.

A small stage starts at $850 a day and one set of steps is included at any height. Graduation party rentals usually add a PA package at $695 and a wireless microphone at $175. Tell us the gym size and the headcount and you get one number.

It comes from the number of people on the deck at once, not the size of the audience. The stage is built from 4ft by 4ft platforms so it is made to fit the room, and the height adjusts from 21.5 to 48 inches with legs that level independently on a gym floor.

We are in Brooklyn and deliver across all five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, northern New Jersey, Connecticut and eastern Pennsylvania. Delivery is free in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens; everywhere else it is quoted from your school address.

Yes. Field day rentals cover inflatables, obstacle courses, inflatable games, canopies and generators where there is no outdoor power. We deliver, anchor everything and come back for the pickup at a time you set.

Yes. Tell us your dismissal time and we will hold a delivery window around it. Order before 11:30 am and it can still go out the same day, but for a graduation we would rather come the day before.

A gym is a hard room and it eats speech. We size the speaker count from the room and the headcount rather than guessing, and a wireless microphone with a small mixer is $175. A principal reading two hundred names should not have to shout.

We set up. Setup is included on all school event rentals and we come back for the pickup. Your staff do not touch the stage, the speakers or the rigging.

Yes, and it costs less than it sounds. Day two and day three are half price, so setting up Thursday for a Friday graduation costs the same as two days. The rehearsal then happens on the real stage.
