We used Boutique Party Hire for my daughter’s 1st Birthday Party. We hired a bouncy castle and soft play. Right from the point of inquiry to the point of delivery & collection the process was easy and professional. They are also reasonably priced. The bouncy castle and soft play looked lovely and was exactly what we wanted! The kids also loved it! We will definitely be using this company again and recommending them to friends and family.
Charlotte was very responsive and accomodative of my very late request and change that had to be made. Will recommend and use again.
