Such a brilliant company - really friendly staff and Jourdan who does all the bookings is fantastic. Highly recommend.
Used them for an event in London on 21st March. Fantastic service - would use again!
Wonderful company from booking to the day was so easy. Definitely recommend this company as I’d been let down last minute and they came through for me with no problems and were so friendly. My son and his friends absolutely loved the bouncy castle and it was exactly what I wanted and the set up and delivery were brilliant.
Wanted a bouncy castle, 4 tables and 8 chairs for my daughters birthday party, called up Russell Up Events Ltd.

I booked the Friday 11th August 2023 via the phone spoke to a wonderful young lady took my details and all set for my daughters big day.

A big mention to the wonderful, cheerful professional man who set up the bouncy castle.

Thank you for your professional service and will definitely use again and recommend to family and friends!
I have been using Russell Up for several years. I can honestly say the booking procedure is very easy. All staff are welcoming and nice from booking, emailing them and the delivery guys. I wouldn't look anywhere else. Thank you Russell Up for a great experience every time.
The team at Russell Up Events are superb - quick to respond, straightforward and efficient. We are very satisfied, repeat customers. Over a number of events, we have hired a range of games / equipment as well as rented funfair food machines. On each occasion set up/take down has been seamless. Food related hires are managed by a member of staff from start to finish; again we have been nothing but impressed by the efficiency, kindness and enthusiasm of those team members we have met. Highly recommended!
Fantastic service and great value for money. Luke was great with us and really ensured we got the most out of our day. We never felt rushed and will be recommending Russell Up Events to everyone. Luke gave us so many ideas for future parties and kindly left us some brochures. Thank you Russell Up Events & thank you Luke.
We cannot recommend 'Russell Up' enough. Jade, Luke and the team are so helpful, we have had numerous bouncy castles and even the chocolate fountain at Sunshine Nursery. They never fail to make everything safe, fun and easy when using their products. The children have endless fun and are talking about how fun their bouncy castle was for weeks. We cannot fault them and are so excited for another bouncy castle in 3 weeks. Thank you so much we have some very happy staff and children here at Sunshine Nursery and Pre-School.
Thank you for providing a brilliant bouncy castle for our daughters birthday! We really appreciated you exchanging the castle and setting it up last night ready for Saturday - the large Connect Four went down a treat with the kids as well! This is second castle we have hired from you and we'll definitely be recommending you to friends as you've once again provided great service and great value for money. Thank you!
Kind regards
Sarah and Stuart Gardner

Dear Luke,

I hope you are well.

I would just like to take this opportunity tosay a big thank you for all your help last week supplying RedRock with Bouncy Castles and soft play.

As you know it has been really hard the last few months for everyone’s children so to be able to bring the fun to them was amazing!Your service and the equipment you supplied was top notch.

Jackson and his cousins had fun for hours on end, you are now officially called fun uncle Luke!

I would have no hesitation recommending your services to all my friends and family.

Best wishes

Really pleased with all aspects of the service. Thank You.
Fantastic candy floss machine. It was the talking point of the event!
Fantastic event and as promised it ran like clockwork. Highly recommended to all!
Five star first class service, thank you.
Trustworthy & reliable. Turned up on time and provided everything agreed,
Absolutely perfect in every way. Could not have asked for a better day. Thank You!
I spent a long time looking for a reliable and safe provider of bouncy castles and wanted to share my experience and what I learnt.

Make sure you hire only companies who provide RPII operators (and can prove this with a certificate).

Make sure any bouncy castle that you hire are PIPA safety tested.

I only learnt these two things after speaking with Russell Up Events an other providers either did not mention this or clearly were not certified. These two things mean you are hiring a safety tested bouncy castle run by certified staff. Something which is obviously of great importance.

When you go back and forth and compare prices you will find that there maybe slightly cheaper alternatives but things such as liability insurance could be missing.

Needless to say we went with Russell Up Events and our day went smoothly.. Their customer service is second to none and as you can see from my review every aspect of our day was catered for in a professional and safe manner.
We used Russel up events for our engagement party. They always answered straight away to all our emails and was very helpful. We had the stunning floral wall and LED lights, they really did make that magical touch and was a great photo oppurtunity. Everyone absolutely loved them! I would most definitely reccommend them to anyone who is throwing a party!
Brilliant and professional company, good prices and lovely dance floor!
I used Russell Up events for my sons 3rd birthday party, it was a great stress free day sorted by lovely staff. I can’t thank them enough, will 100% be using them! Thank you
Highly recommend Russell Up, we use them every year for our corporate parties and we are never disappointed. They go over and above to ensure everything looks amazing and runs smoothly. Nothing is too much trouble.
Thanks again for the great service and the dancefloor provided for our great Gatsby party on the 7th.
Very friendly and efficient.
Great service!
What a great bunch of people to work with! We hired Russel Up for the first time this year for our Christmas LIghts Switch On event in Ramsgate and can't thank them enough for their professionalism, friendliness and patience (I asked them to change the position of their helter skelter once they had it all safely secured and they were very happy to oblige!). They were a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with them again next year!
Thank you for going over and above to make our work Xmas party look amazing! We had a 70’s theme, with light up numbers, light up coloured dance floor and themed photo booth all looked great and not only that you went out of your way to decorate the rest of the room with up lighters which set it off brilliantly! Highly recommend! nothing too much for this company and so professional.
GoodMorning RussellUp,
Thank you so much for yesterday. The kids enjoyed them selfs on the castle.
Regards
Cathrina

Hi.

Just wanted to say thank you very much for last Friday it was a massive success. Everyone was raving on about the magic mirror.

We have a Christmas fair coming up and one of the mums have approached me about hiring the hot dog machine. Your lovely manager said he would give a really good price if we were to book with you again. I will be passing on your contact details to her.

Many Thanks

Jess

My son was 21 at weekend - Jade you are a star the package of floor photoboth and numbers worked so well we have lots of photos and are looking forward to the album - we will use you again we were all so pleased with how it looked. And with Paul who was fantastic when it came to where to set things up. Russel you have an excellent team and you guys made my son’s birthday very special. Thank you all.

Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU!

The ice cream van went down very well with the staff.

Thanks again.

Louise.

To all the wonderful staff at Russell up events. I would like to say thank you for all your hard work at whybridge junior school on Friday 6th July. Your staff were wonderful and the children really had a good day. We can't say thank you enough . Especially working in the heat all day. Thank you so much Donna speirs
I would highly recommend this company to my friends and family we will defiantly be using their bouncy castles again the gentleman that dropped it off and set up was so pleasant aswell as the two gentlemen that picked it up thank u again x
Hi Luke, Sorry this is a little delayed, it’s been a busy week. Just wanted to say thank you for Sunday. The staff, without exception, worked incredibly hard to make it a fun filled event. The man running the go karts (who was nearest to me so who I saw the most) was especially fun and always interacting with the children. We had a great day and it was deemed a great success. Kind regards Sally
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for making my little girls 2nd birthday the best ever. Peppa Pig was a massive hit and my daughter was amazed/delighted she was there. The look on her little face when she realised was worth every penny and something I will never forget.

Thanks again and thanks to the lady who made my daughters birthday dreams come true.
Best wishes
Jessica

I just wanted to send you a huge and sincere thank you for supplying the sweet trolley at our recent Auction of Promises. The whole evening was a big success and your help and support played an important part in that.

I am thrilled to announce that, on the night, we made over £16,000 and an extremely generous businessman has topped it up with a magnificent donation of £10,000. All this money will obviously help us towards granting many more dreams for children with life threatening illnesses or severe disabilities.

On behalf of everyone at the Dream Factory, I would like to send you our sincere thanks for your much valued support. It is so much appreciated.

Warmest regards

Avril & The Dream Team

The Dream Factory

Hired a bouncy castle - Very professional, punctual and good prices. Very polite and lovely people too :)
Dear Simon,
Thanks for your email. The event went really well and everyone enjoyed it.
The inflatables were a hit with the kids and your supervisors were very good at controlling the float.
Overall, an impeccable service from you guys from beginning to end and we will certainly be using you again for future events.
Best,
Ilia
You are never too old for a bouncy castle! I hired a Frozen bouncy castle from Russell Up Events and all the children were delighted on arrival to my birthday BBQ. I was quoted excessive amounts from different companies and I found this company only a day before my event, so I ended up booking this last minute. But they were so attentive and understanding. The service was outstanding and I cannot recommend this company enough! Thank you soo much Russell Up Events
What a great service, wide range of fun party things. Also good for weddings
Great company! Friendly and punctual. Used the ball bit and superhero bouncy castle. Kids had so much fun. Will defaintly be using Russel-Up again. Thank you guys!
I would like to thank Luke Russell & Jade Traynor of Russell up for making my birthday truely memorable the food was tasty 'well presented and plentiful. The chocolate fountain such a success I think we nearly emptied it lol. And the sweet cart was a huge success with both young and old. You also go the extra mile in your professionalism helpfulness. And as friends too. U truely we're amazing. Ty both so much.
Excellent service from start to finish. Dance floor was great. Quick and easy to get all the bookings Many thanks.
We had a lovely day thank you. The weather was very kind to us and the children loved the bouncy castle. The two people who came to deliver and collect were really kind and courteous. Will def be using you again and will recommend you to others.
Many thanks
Hi Simon
Just wanted to thank you for your very professional customer service from start to finish!
You were extremely helpful and the delivery/collection went super smooth.
Jonathan enjoyed his party and the bouncy castle was a sure hit. (There were even some tears when the castle was collected).
I wrote a review on Google for you and will definitely be recommending your company to all my friends.
Hope to use you in future.
Best wishes,
Carlien Rendall
Loved the service! Hassle free, easy and definitely value for money. Will use again in the future
Excellent customer service from start to finish. Bouncy castle was clean and we had a fantastic day with it. Absolutely cannot fault this company and will use and recommend them. Many thanks.
Great speedy service on a dancefloor hire for my wedding. They suggested the size floor I would need and payment was effortless to do. The guy turned up early on the day just to be sure and he also cleaned the floor before he left ready for us to dance on. I would highly recommend Russell Up Entertainments.
Fast and quick and on time very friendly all round 5 stars... thanks
We hired a rodeo bull with cover and helter skelter. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the rides were erected very quickly. Unfortunately the weather was quite wet and cold so the heater skelter was not as popular as the bull which was under cover. We also had a lady who did face paining and glitter tattoos which were very popular with the kids and adults.
Very sufficient and very friendly the prices are very reasonable and the kids loved it
Great company to deal with
Great service
Excellent customer service on the phone which set me at ease. Hired a bouncy castle for our daughters birthday and it arrived right on time as promised. I had heard so many horror stories about bouncy castle hires but Russell Up were excellent. The driver was stuck in traffic on the way back to collect but let me know via text with his eta (even though it was only a minor delay) so that I wasn't worried, and still got there packed up and out before the end of the hall hire. Very impressed with the whole service and price. Thanks!
Absolutely fantastic! Hired the LED Dancefloor for our wedding on Saturday & it looked amazing. The team at Russell-Up are fab, so helpful when I had to change my set up times, would definitely recommend xx
Excellent service! Really nice guy and would definitely recommend. I would certainly use this company again.
Thank you!!
Amanda

Well done russell-up you saved the day great service reliable castle was just right kids had a great time will certainly use you again!
For my daughters engagement party on 3rd February, Russell Up provided us with a 'sparkly' dance floor and their price was extremely competitive. They arrived on time, installed the dance floor and cleaned the floor thoroughly once laid. Aesthetically the dance floor made all the difference, it made the venue look fantastic. They arranged to collect the dance floor after the event, again they were very punctual. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for your special event.
Wow, you’re service on Sat night was excellent. 300 rowdy teens, with popcorn, candy floss and the Bungee run!!! Your service, product and patience was amazing. I will definitly use you again and highly recommend you. Thanks.
Amazing company! Always at the end of the phone and able to advise. On time. Reasonably priced and great quality!
Love this company used them for my wedding and any event I have so professional go above and behond to Make the event amazing would defo recommend!!!!!
Efficient, friendly and prompt service. Very happy customer. We ordered the frozen bouncy castle for our daughters third birthday and was very happy with the whole service.

1st birthday party
I hired a bouncy castle for my little boys 1st birthday party. They came early and set the bouncy castle up nice and quickly. The staff member was very friends. We had a great time. When it came to collection again I can't fault the staff and there were no disruption at all.

The best service you could ask for. LED dance floor was amazing for our wedding and Paul was so patient when the staging had to go in first. They always come a smile on their face no matter how hard the job is like putting the dance floor, bouncy castle and photo booth away. Amber was so lovley To our younger and older guests with the photo booth I can't recommend Russell up enough just wish I needed tjem more often. Thank you for everything as always

Jes

I run an events company, I uses these guys literally every weekend. They are polite, punctual and great with customer services. I'm always willing to pay that little bit extra for that piece of mind. Thank you guys
Bouncy castle / face painter
Was extremely happy with the service provided. From initial delivery of the bouncy castle to the end of the night. All staff were awesome.
Special thanks would go to the face painter who attended.
Children and adults both really enjoyed getting tattoos and face paints.
Highly recommended
reliable, professional and reasonable hire company. Friendly staff who were punctual and professional, we had the bouncy castle for a 4th birthday from 9am until 7.30pm which I thought was great value. Thanks - would recommend.
LED dance floor
Thank you so much for your LED dance floor for our school prom! It made it that extra bit special. Thank you for the communication and professionalism. The floor was of high quality and the ability to change the LED settings was fantastic. Your attendants were friendly and laid the floor quickly and perfectly. Will definitely be recommending and using you again!
Primary School Summer Fete
I was so impressed with Luke and his team. Fantastic communication and advice, brilliant range of products and they couldn't have been more helpful - both during the planning process and on the day.
In the end they provided us with an ice cream van and a range of inflatables which they rigged and manned themselves - much more professional and reliable than trying to do it ourselves.
I was particularly grateful that they paid so much attention to the health and safety side of their responsibilities. I was given full risk assessments and certification in advance and was talked through all the safety precautions and rigging details on the day of the fete. So important with something like this.
Luke also talked me through some ideas that he had for future events and I wouldn't hesitate to use his company again. Far far better than anyone else I've spoken to. Russell Up are a one stop shop for anything that you need and I would definitely recommend them.
Thank you!
Excellent!
I have used Russell Up for many years for various events and they have never let me down. Nothing is too much trouble. Their service is excellent, their staff are excellent and their products are excellent. Each year they are expanding what they can offer and I am looking forward to the Merry-go-rounds! They are very competitive with their prices and I would highly recommend them. Thank you Luke and the rest of the team.
We booked Russell's for our little girls 1st birthday party . We had the Minnie and Mickey bouncy castle and the face painting/ glitter tattoos .
The bouncy castle arrived in good time and was erected by staff who made sure it was safe and fully functioning prior to leaving .
Amber , the lady who was there to do the face painting and tattoos was very friendly and engaging with all the children and really got into the party spirit .
Will definitely be using them next year .
Fabulous service . Thank you xx
We hired a DJ, hot dog machine, candy floss machine and pop corn machine for my son's 11th birthday party. It was a massive hit! The DJ was great (even though the kids weren't up to much dancing). I'd sent through a list of music that my son liked and it was pretty accurate. Leah who did the food machines was lovely and didn't stop all day.

It's really handy to be able to book everything together and I'd definitely use Russel Up again. Thanks for a great day!
Thanks so much to Russell up who supplied an ice cream van.bouncy castle and popcorn machine for my event.it was a great day we all enjoyed and raised loads for Essex & Herts air ambulance trust. Russell up s staff were very friendly.very helpful from the initial enquiry I made to on the day. A Very professional company who I will definitely recommend and use again for my charity events.Well done and thanks so much. Linda Gallagher
Thanks for providing a castle and chocolate fountain for a party . Went the extra mile with setup ! Also any changes or questions were handled swiftly by Jade beforehand.
Thanks again .
Russell Up helped us at a charity event we held for Macmillan, they supplied us with a disco dome, which kids of all ages loved, a slush puppy machine and also came along in the ice cream van to support our cause! The staff are lovely, the guys that come to set up were helpful, friendly and efficient. Russell Up have provided castles and other equipment on a number of previous occasions and we have always found them to be reasonably priced and good quality. They are reliable and you can hire almost any of your party equipment from them. I would highly recommend this company for all events. Our local schools also use them for summer fetes and inflatable days so even for larger scale events I would recommend.
We used Russell-up to supply soft play bouncy castle and a blow up ball pit at our baby's first birthday. It went down a storm with the children. The equipment was clean and in good condition. We even got left some additional baby toys that they had on board.

They turned up at the venue (even before we got there) to set up - set up the equipment efficiently liased with the caretaker about electrical supply etc and basically allowed us to just decorate and set out food taking away any stress. I can say the same for packing up at the end of the day too - a simple call as we had finished up earlier than we had booked the equipment out for and they were there in 5 minutes to take it all down. A thoroughly efficient friendly service
Massive thank you to Russell up for helping us raise money for our Macmillan bbq! The disco dome bouncy castle went down a treat with the kids as did the slush puppy machine and the cherry on the cake was when the ice cream van came round too � such lovely staff, would highly recommend these guys for any event/occasion! I have used them for years now and will continue to do so!
Thanks again guys x
Where do i start i contacted Russell Up wanting a 12 x 12 bouncy castle for my sons birthday having never hired from them before i was a little worried about if it would turn up would they put it where i wanted it all the usual worries you have when trying to organise a birthday party. I need not have worried though because from my initial contact with them my mind was put at rest they answered all my questions and couldn't have given me more help or advise.

On the day the castle arrived exactly for the time i had requested. A quick chat with the driver and he set it all up nothing was too much trouble once inflated it looked fantastic and my son was so excited he couldn't wait to get on it.

We got loads of comments at the party about how new and good the themed castle looked

Collection was as good as delivery the driver again arrived on time and quickly got to work with getting it packed away.

I will definitely be using Russell Up again very reliable very friendly
I would like to thank Russell-Up for making my Son's 1st Birthday party so special.
You took all the stress away from planning the day, as you did it all for me, so I could enjoy my day!
I hired the Photo Booth, Soft Play, Bouncy Castle, Chocolate Fountain, Ball Pit & Catering. I had so many compliments on the day and I have recommended you to everyone!
The staff were so polite and couldn't do enough for me, so thank you again. I will definitely be back again..... you've got me as a customer for life!
Want to thank luke for the amazing bouncy castle with a slide for my little boys birthday! The kids loved it and was worth every penny, so easy to order and reliable & ontime and made it stress free for me organising the day! Defo would recommend & will be using you againThank you!
I got an inflatable ball pit and hot dog machine for my sons party, they arrived in good time to set up and was professional and great with the kids. The equipment was perfect (and waterproof) and everyone commented on how lovely it was. Definitely recommend for any event coming up, brilliant! Thanks Russell-Up
We hired a bouncy castle slush machine and popcorn machine for my daughters 7th birthday on the 21st of May..it was all fantastic the kids and adults loved it..services was great too,the owner luke couldn't be more helpful.
Would 100% recommend Russell up..
I purchased the photo booth package for my sisters wedding reception. We had a amazing time with the photo booth. It is worth every penny! I am so pleased with Luke's service, expertise, and customer service. He responds to emails and calls in a timely manner. The company set up very quickly and quietly. His team is very professional and polite. The attendant was great and ready to go with a smile. We had about 100 people at the wedding reception and everyone from the kids to our grandparents went in it multiple times. People are still talking about it today. We also had them make the scrapbook, which turned out beautifully. You get the scrapbook immediately at the end of the night and it’s really nice to be able to go home with pictures.
Thank you to Russell-Up for making the wedding reception such a wonderful and memorable event!
If I ever need entertainment services in the future you certainly have me as a repeat customer.
Thank you very much Russell up for making my brothers 21st a brilliant one! We hired the disco dome & sumo wrestling outfits! It even chucked it down but the weather didn't dampen the spirits due to the great facilities! Russell up were also flexible with drop off/pick up times! I felt under no pressure. Defineatly recommend and will be using them again!
Fantastic service. Everyone had a great time and would definitely be using them again!
Very well organised and very helpful. All the staff are brilliant and the djs fantastic!!
