Planning an outdoor event? Don’t let unpredictable weather interfere with your big day.
Awesome Entertainment offers an optional Weather Waiver to give you flexibility and peace of mind. For a small fee, this waiver allows you to reschedule your event up to 1–3 days before delivery, or substitute outdoor rental items for indoor-friendly options — without paying the usual 20% substitution fee, as long as changes are made at least 2–3 days prior to delivery.
The Weather Waiver covers a variety of situations that could impact your event, including rain or thunderstorm forecasts over 40%, extreme heat warnings, or a Snow Emergency Level 2 or 3 issued before 11 a.m. on the day of delivery.
It also covers situations where guests of honor (for private parties only) are ill or hospitalized, government orders that prevent your event, or power and water service interruptions caused by utility companies.
As a bonus, if you do need to cancel under the Weather Waiver, you'll receive a non-expiring gift card that can be used for any future event with Awesome Entertainment. Please note: a processing charge applies when the waiver is used.
The fee for the waiver is 10% of your rental total if added 21 or more days before your event, or 15% if added 10–20 days in advance. The waiver must be added during the advance planning stage and cannot be applied last minute.
By adding this waiver, you can plan your celebration with confidence — no need to worry about the weather until just before your delivery date!
For full details, see Section 2 of our Contract, and more info can be found under our FAQ section. For P.O. bookings, the Weather Waiver cannot be added unless the purchase order is paid within 7 days of confirmation.



Damage Waiver
For your peace of mind, we offer an optional damage waiver for items rented from Awesome Entertainment.
This allows you to pay a 10% fee that protects you from 80% of the costs of repairing or replacing
accidentally damaged items, up to $5,000.
Keep in mind the damage waiver doesn't cover repair or replacement costs of items that are misused,
mishandled or otherwise abused (example: a chair breaks when being used as a ladder).
If the damage waiver is declined and any rental items are damaged, the customer will be responsible for the full cost
of repair or replacement. Customer is responsible for equipment from delivery until return.
Broken equipment must be returned in order for the damage waiver to apply.
To see all details concerning our damage waiver, see section 4 of our contract and more info can be found under
our FAQ section.
So you can relax and enjoy your event when you have a damage waiver!
PREPAID CLEANING WAIVER
We offer an optional Prepaid Cleaning Fees Waiver for items rented from Awesome Entertainment.
This allows you to pay a 10% fee that waives standard cleaning fees. No need to clean your items after your event.
Saves you time and helps you budget accurately.
When a Prepaid Cleaning Fees Waiver is added, AFE will not bill Lessee for cleaning the following individual items
or sets of items within these time frames:
Inflatable ride cleaned in 1 hour or less
Non-ride inflatable cleaned in 30 minutes or less
Empty concession or food machine cleaned in 30 minutes or less
Carnival game cleaned in 30 minutes or less
Carnival ride cleaned in 30 minutes or less
All chairs/tables in a single rental order cleaned in 15 minutes or less
Any items not listed above cleaned in 30 minutes or less
If the cleaning time for any rental item covered by this awesome waiver exceeds the time limit set above, the resulting cleaning fee will be $25 per 30 minutes or part thereof, instead of the standard $75 per 30 minutes or part thereof.
To see all details concerning our Prepaid Cleaning Fees Waiver, see section 5 of our contract and more info can be found under our FAQ section.
Add this waiver and you can relax after your awesome celebration and not to worry about cleaning your rented items!
SAFETY
An awesome event is a safe event!
In 25+ years of business, Awesome Entertainment has had NO accident claims!
Safety is an important aspect of our business, so check out our safety videos:



Awesome Entertainment requires proper paperwork to meet state regulations, insurance company concerns and your own organization's legal and compliance department stipulations. Our waiver forms help ensure that your event runs smoothly, from start to finish.
These waivers are readily available for your convenient download.

The cost of insuring inflatable attractions, amusement rides, special events, and extreme activities climbs higher every year. Many amusement planning companies consciously decide to conduct their business without such protection.
Not only is this an unwise risk — it’s against Ohio law!
At Awesome Entertainment, we follow the regulations enforced by the state of Ohio’s Amusement & Ride Safety Division — and we even offer to list our clients on our liability policy, naming each as an additional insured for their event.
Our long-standing safety record shows how hard Awesome Entertainment works to offer our clients
events that are both fun and safe.
Planning an amusement event that’s not in Ohio? We've got you covered!
Awesome Entertainment will take the necessary steps to adhere to that state’s safety requirements.
Plus, our insurance policy tags along with us.
Awesome Entertainment is about having awesome fun — and knowing all we do to make sure our attractions and rides are safe and insured gives our clients the peace of mind they need to enjoy their special events.
