Our Company
Based in Waterford, we started First Class Castles in 2009 as two college students, at the time we had a small collection of second-hand bouncy castles and a small van. We hired out bouncy castles during the weekend and got our heads down attending college during the week! We spent five years in the University of Limerick and juggled both First Class Castles and college commitments simultaneously. We graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor of Business Studies Degree and again in 2014 with a Master’s in Management and Entrepreneurship…. we even got separate degrees!
Over the years we have grown the business on the back of a reputation for high-quality products and service and have become one of Ireland’s leading supplier of inflatables and games hire to private and corporate clients.. and is now our full-time job!We have built a reputation on our professionalism, reliability, creative designs, innovative concepts, attention to detail and competent staff. Due to our hard work and dedication, It’s unsurprising some of our clients now include Microsoft, Vodafone, Google, Facebook and many more…
However, it’s not all about corporate clients, over the years we have built up a large and loyal customer base locally in Waterford and beyond, for which we are very grateful for their continuous support. We are also very fortunate to have family and friends who have continuously supported and encouraged us in our endeavours.
Today, our company offers one of the largest selection of inflatables, games and event hire equipment in the country. We’ve got rodeo rides, zorbing, fun foods, lighting, audio visual equipment, marquees, event props and much more! We also offer a wide selection of event services from team-building to event planning. We’ve got something for everyone and can work with all budgets.
Unlike our competitors, we’re not an agency! Everything you see on our website is in our warehouse. Holding all our products in stock means all our equipment is tested, properly insured, rigorously maintained, and immaculately presented and always state-of-the-art.
Operated by a young, enthusiastic and dynamic team of people, we’re the ‘one-stop-shop’ for all your party and event requirements. If you have a special event in the future, make sure you call us to see if we could be of assistance and if we can’t help we might be able to point you in the right direction.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
