Planning a Graduation Party.

2011-02-07T11:59:00.000-08:00

A high school graduation party is truly a monumental event. It is a celebration of what you have accomplished and a send off into the next chapter of your life whether that is college or a career. When i think back to my own graduation party it brings back great memories. It was one of the last times i was together with the friends that i had spent the first 18 years of my life with. Life was care free then, and i believed that all of us would stay friends forever. How wrong i was, we all went to different colleges and most of us left our home town once we graduated. Sure we still keep in touch through text messaging and facebook but it will never be the same as the care free days that we spent together after graduating high school.

The Proper Tent For Your Event.

2010-03-31T07:36:00.000-07:00

So you have decided to have an outdoor event for 250 people. You know you need a tent but have no idea how large of a tent you will need for 250 people. This is a very common problem that customers come to us with here at Windswept Entertainment & Events. When customers ask us how big of a tent they need we figure it out by asking them questions about what they will be doing under the tent and then plugging that information into the formula below to get a square footage size of the tent they will need to accommodate their guests.

How many guests will be at the event?........................ 250
Seating:
Theater (chairs in rows)= 6 sq ft/person .................... No
Classroom (tables and chairs in rows) 6 sq ft/person......... No
Banquet Seating:
Rectangle Tables 8 sq ft/person.............................. No
Round Tables 12 sq ft/person................................. Yes
Cocktail Parties:
All Standing 6 sq ft/person.................................. No
Some Seated 8 sq ft/person................................... No
Activities:
Dancing 2-4 sq ft/person..................................... Yes
Bar 100 sq ft................................................ Yes
Buffet 100 sq ft per table................................... Yes 4 tables
DJ 100 sq ft................................................. Yes
Band 240-400 sq ft........................................... No

Now that all of our information is in the tent sizing formula all we have to do is add up the total sq footage. In this example the total sq footage would be as follows:

250 people seated at round tables 250 x 12=...................3,000 sq ft
250 at the event with dancing 250 x 3=........................ 750 sq ft
Bar .......................................................... 100 sq ft
Buffet 4 x 100=............................................... 400 sq ft
DJ............................................................ 100 sq ft
Total sq footage needed=......................................4,350 sq ft

Now that we know that the total square footage of tenting we will need for your event is 4,350 ft we can pick a tent that is the right size. The style of this tent will be determined by the size of the property it is going to be put on, and the budget you have allowed for your tent.

So how do you determine how many sq ft a tent is considering they are not listed by square footage size? To get square footage we multiply the length times the width of a tent. Most rental companies tents will be listed in sizes like 20' x 20' or 40' x 60' so if you multiply those numbers together you will get the square footage of a tent.

Example: square footage for a 40' x 60' tent is 40 x 60 = 2,400 sq ft.

For our example event of 4,350 sq ft we will need to go with either a:
50' x 100' clear span tent = 5,000 sq ft
40' x 120' frame tent = 4,800 sq ft

This formula is a great way of getting an estimate on the size tent you will need, and the cost of the tent, but we recommend having a trained professional come out to look at the site before booking a tent. If you would like to schedule a site consultation please give Windswept a call at 724-539-1009.

Confetti Cannon

2010-03-19T11:39:00.000-07:00

We just got our new wireless confetti cannon in and decided to create a video of it in action.

We chose this confetti cannon over the competitors because it is so versatile. What makes this cannon so versatile is it shoots 3 different size loads. So if you have a small venue with 8' or 10' ceilings you can use the small confetti cartridge without having to worry about blowing the ceiling out. If you are in a large banquet hall with 20' to 35' ceilings the medium cartridge will be your best option. And if your outside the large cartridge will shoot confetti over 55' in the air. You can also choose the color of confetti you want, the style you want (streamers, or square confetti), or you can order an empty cartridge that can be stuffed with items like popcorn. If you would like to learn more about our confetti cannons you can visit our website at www.windswept.com or call us at 724-539-1009.

Planning a Company Picnic?

2010-03-01T10:29:00.000-08:00

So you have been put in charge of planning the company party this year, now what? Well there are a couple of questions you will need answered before you even start planning the event.

1. What is my budget?
2. Is the party going to be for employee's only, or for employees and their family?
3. Is the party adult only?

Once you answer these questions you will need to determine what kind of party you want to have. Do you want to have a formal, or casual event? The answer to this question will help you choose the proper venue, and caterer for your event. If you choose to do a formal Party that is adult only, you may consider holding your event in a hotel banquet hall or in an elegantly decorated tent, and book entertainment like a jazz band.If you choose to have a casual event where children are welcome you may want to look into a local park or consider bringing tents and entertainment to the parking lot of your business.

We have found parks are very popular, especially parks that have a pool. Most of the time these parks can be rented out so that you will not have to share them with the general public. Not having to share the park with the general public is what makes this option so much better than renting a pavilion at an amusement park. The problem with holding your party at an amusement park is you hardly see your guests because they are mixed through the park with thousands of strangers. The other nice thing about holding your event at a park rather than an amusement park is it is normally much closer to where your employees live. This eliminates the need for your employees and there families to travel long distances to attend the party.

Once you have chosen a venue you will have to select a caterer. If you choose to hold your event at a banquet facility they will most likely be doing your catering so you will only have to decide what food you would like them to serve. If you are going to hold your event at a local park you will need to find a caterer. When you start calling caterers it is important that you tell them where the event will be held, and that you ask them if they are capable of providing food to the number of guests you are having at an outdoor venue. You will also need to find out what power and space requirements they require, often you will have to provide the caterers with a tented preparation area and power. BBQ is always a popular choice at outdoor company parties, because it is affordable, it serves large numbers of people, people love it, and it typically cuts down on the power and set up area the caterer will require. BBQ is also a good choice because most caterer's that do BBQ menus bring a large variety of meats and side dishes plus a vegetarian alternative to your event so there will be many different options for your guests to pick from, this ensures all of your guests will be satisfied with there meal.

After the catering is booked you will need to consider shelter in case of inclement weather. This really only applies if you have chosen an outdoor venue for your event. If you have rented a local park for your event you will typically have a pavilion that can be used, but you will have to decide if it will be large enough to keep all of your guests and food dry in case of rain. If the pavilion is not large enough you will need to rent tents for your event. Most good rental companies like Windswept Entertainment & Events will try to set your tents up a couple of days before your event and then tear them down the day after your event is over. Before you tell your rental company that this delivery and tear down schedule is ok you need to check with the park, because they may have other events in the park the day before or the day after your event. If you find that your tents need to be set up and torn down on the same day as your event Windswept and other good rental companies will meet those installation deadlines for you, but you can expect to pay an additional set up fee. Along with tenting you will need to consider the sites facilities, is there enough bathrooms to meet the needs of your guests? If there is not you will have to decide if you want to rent port-a-johns or restroom trailers that give you all the amenities of your home bathroom.

Now that you have the venue, shelter, food, and sanitation taken care of you will need to decide on what you are going to do to entertain your guests. If you have chosen an indoor venue you will want to consider entertainment like balloon artists, face painter, caricature artists, and magicians, for the children and a band to keep the adults entertained. Casino set ups are also very popular at these events and can keep both the children and adults entertained considering they wont be playing for real money. If you have chosen an outdoor venue such as a park, mixing inflatable rides in with the same entertainment used at an indoor event is a very popular way to keep both children and adults entertained. A good amusement ride company will have a variety of inflatable rides available for all different ages. When choosing an amusement ride company be sure to ask if they are ensured, that they will deliver, set up, and staff all the rides, and that there ride operators are all state trained. Using a professional amusement company will keep your employees and there families safe and make you look like a hero.

Where do our Inflatables come from?

2010-01-26T07:41:00.000-08:00

Windswept purchases all of its large inflatable rides from cutting edge creations. Cutting Edge Creations is known as the most expensive inflatable ride manufacturer but Windswept believes their products are worth the extra money, because they are also known as the industry leader in safety and innovation. Since Windswept's number one concern when running an event is safety it only makes sense that we would buy CEC's products.

Aside from purchasing the safest rides in the industry Windswept trains and tests all of their ride operators before they are allowed in the field to operate a ride. This training takes place both at our facility, and at the state training facility in Harrisburg. This is another step that we take to ensure the safety of our clients. Not only have Windswept's ride operators been trained in ride safety, our sales staff has been as well. Because are sales staff is trained they are able to pass all of their knowledge onto our customers and help them decide which rides would be appropriate for different age groups and size events. This allows us to ensure your event is not only safe, but that it will be as fun as possible because you will have the right rides to fit your crowd. If you would like to learn more about our inflatable rides visit our website , or give us a call at 724-539-1009.

Maintenance Time

2010-01-18T12:43:00.000-08:00

January and February are very slow months in the Party rental industry, so what do we do to keep busy you might ask? This is the time of year where we maintenance all of our inflatables, tables, chairs, and simulators. Our trained ride operators will go over all of our equipment sanitizing it and checking it for areas that are showing wear. Any equipment that is showing wear is either fixed in house or sent back to the manufacture to be fixed depending on the severity of the problem. This is also the time of year were Windswept Entertainment and Events sales team gets to go to the IAPPA show to look at all the new inflatables that the manufacturers have came out with, and purchase any new rides that they feel will be popular with our customers in the following years. This year we purchased the Boulder dash obstacle course, a new mechanical bull, and a lot of new tents. One of the most important things we do at this time of year is go over all of the industries ride safety procedures with our ride operators and test them on these procedures.

School Fun Days

2010-01-12T13:04:00.000-08:00

It is getting to be that time of year where PTO groups start calling to book inflatables and entertainment for their children's school fun days. The questions that are always asked by PTO groups are:

Q. Is your company insured?
A. Yes we are fully insured so if there would be an injury on any of our rides the liability would be on us (injuries rarely happen).

Q. Do we have to set the equipment up ourselves.
A. No, we send state trained operators to set up the equipment and supervise the volunteers you provide us to run the rides. Most schools choose to use volunteers but we will provide ride operators for all the rides at an additional cost. Certain rides like the Mechanical Bull, Trackless train, Surf Simulator, and Bungee Trampoline will always be operated by our state trained operators.

Q. Why is there no pricing on your website for the inflatable rides.
A. We create a custom quote based on the number of rides you are renting, and the number of ride operators you require.

If you have any questions about planning a school fun day please give us a call at 724-539-1009. We do over 100 school fun days a year and have experts that can help you pick the equipment that will be right for your fun day.

Surfboard Simulator

2009-02-25T08:18:00.001-08:00

The surfboard simulator also referred to as the mechanical surfboard is one of our newest inflatable rides. This ride is great for all ages, and all types of events. You can create a incredible tropical theme at your event by incorporating some of our tropical themed entertainers, steal drum bands, and other tropical themed inflatable rides. Some of my favorite inflatable rides that fit this theme are the tropical maze obstacle course, palm tree bouncer, mutiny on the bouncer, and inflatable tiki bar.

The Surfboard simulator is small enough to fit in most rooms and is a great way to beat away the Pittsburgh Pa, winter blues. You can see some videos of the surfboard simulator on the video bar at the top left of the page.

Mechanical Bull

Checkout a few of our mechanical bull videos on the video bar at the top left of the page.

Kongo Krazy Slide

2009-02-19T08:44:00.000-08:00

Accompany this slide with a few of our tents, children's entertainers, and catering services and you have yourself one heck of a party!!

You can see pictures of the Kongo Krazy Slide as well as all our other inflatable rides at www.windswept.com.

Jugglers

2009-02-17T11:13:00.001-08:00

Their are many types of children's entertainment available in the Pittsburgh area for birthday parties, company picnics, graduation parties, festivals, and corporate events. My favorite type of children's entertainment is our variety entertainers, and jugglers.

These guys do it all!! Our variety entertainers combine the talents of jugglers, magicians, unicyclists, stilt walkers, and mentalists all into one performance.

I think this is one of my favorite forms of children's entertainment because it is entertaining for children and amazing for adults as well.

Field Trips

2009-02-12T12:12:00.000-08:00

Recently many elementary and middle school event budgets have been cut. This is such a shame because some of my best memories were of field trips and special events with my classmates. Because of this budget cut we have had a lot of success with entertainment items like our Science Rocks show, or our live animal shows. These shows are extremely entertaining and educational for the children. They provide a very enjoyable experience in the comfort and convenience of their own school. Having the event at the school saves money on packed lunches, buses for transportation, and admission fees to your destination. A great show like Science Rocks or one of the animal shows usually ends costs less than $2 per child.

School Field Day!

2009-02-09T08:50:00.000-08:00

This time of year is always a busy time for planning elementary school field days. School field days are one of my favorite types of events every year. The school gets to choose from our huge selection of inflatable rides and children's entertainers. Our Inflatable slides, obstacle courses, and bouncers are among the more popular inflatables chosen. The schools really like the balloon artists, airbrush tattoos, jugglers, and magicians for the event as well. We usually have the entertainment strolling through the event and then usually have a short stage show at the end.

The children have so much fun at their field days it makes the day fly by.

Magicians

2009-02-05T08:49:00.000-08:00

I recently received an updated promo video from one of our talented Magicians. I added the video to the blog so my fellow blogger's could see what a incredible show he offers. We offer a wide variety of magic shows to the Pittsburgh area. Our shows can be small and designed for young birthday parties or extremely large stage shows designed for high schools, colleges, and corporate events.

Magic shows are one of our most common forms of entertainment booked and are a great addition to any event. Our magicians perform at countless birthday parties, schools, and corporate events throughout the year. For smaller shows our magicians often perform balloon animals and sculptures for the kids as well.

Entertainment

2009-02-03T08:46:00.000-08:00

I am looking forward to some warmer weather so we can start having events again. One of my favorite events that we had towards the end of the year was a company picnic for a large fiberglass manufacturer. They went all out!! I had plenty of entertainment for the guests. I had clowns, jugglers, stilt walkers, face painters, caricature artists and one of our best country bands at the event. We also provided them with a few inflatable slides, inflatable obstacle courses, and bounce houses. We also provided tenting, tables, and chairs for all 800 guests. The seating area was definitely needed to handle our delicious catering.

We started offering catering to the Pittsburgh area in 2004. Our barbecue is out of this world!! We provide massive portions of delicious meats of your choice along with a variety of mouth watering side dishes. The combination of food, fun, and sun made this event one to remember.

The employees made numerous comments that the event couldn't have been any better!

SB Show

I would like to start off by saying congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers! as a leading party rental company in Pittsburgh we often set up tents, tables, chairs, banners, and even stages for the Steelers. There business is always appreciated and it was great to see them leave Florida with a extremely exciting victory.

I was also extremely impressed with the Half Time show. Bruce Springsteen put on one heck of show. Being an event planner and entertainment coordinator makes me wonder how much staff is required to get the stage and pyrotechnics ready in such little time. I know how much work it is to get one of our bands, or children's entertainers ready for a show so I cant even imagine the amount of work that goes into a entertainment production like that!

Hi Kristina! Welcome to my blog . I'm glad to hear you understand the importance of childrens entertainment at events. It sounds like you share the same passion as i do for these types of events. what type of event was this party you attended in the summer? was it a coorporate event? Our entertainers are often at the larger events in the pittsburgh area. I would be will to bet that the clowns, jugglers, stiltwalkers and magicians you saw at that event were ours. what was your favorite childrens entertainer that you saw?

Did this event have tents, tables, chairs, or inflatable rides?
