Bubble Machine Cost

Typical costs:

• The cost to rent a bubble machine typically depends on the size and type of machine and can range from about $30 for a small plastic machine to $175 for a large metal machine with a high output and a variety of features such as a large reservoir for bubble solution and a timer. For example, House of Rental^[1] in the Chicago area charges $32 a day to rent a mid-sized bubble machine. Amanzi Party Rentals^[2] in Texas charges $30 to rent a large bubble machine for four hours, or $50 for eight hours. Atlanta Special FX charges $99 to rent a compact bubble machine^[3] that produces 10,000 bubbles a minute, $139 to rent a machine that produces 15,000 bubbles a minute or $175 to rent a heavy stainless steel bubble machine with dual fans to push bubbles into the air.
• The cost to buy a bubble machine can range from $30 for a small plastic machine at a discount store to $1,500 or more for a large professional-grade machine, such as those used by disc jockeys and party professionals. For example, Party City sells a mini bubble machine^[4] for $15. Target sells a basic plastic bubble machine^[5] , that holds one pint of solution, for $35. The American DJ Bubble Blast bubble machine^[6] , which has a 1.8-liter bubble fluid tank, a fan to push bubbles into the air and a timer, costs $420. Atlanta Special FX charges from $149 for a compact bubble machine and up to $1,500 for a large stainless steel bubble machine with dual fans and wheels.

• Bubbles can be used at specific times during a wedding or other event, such as when the bride and groom exit the ceremony or at the reception during the first dance.
• These machines range in size from very small, portable plastic versions that weigh a few pounds to large metal units that could weigh 30 pounds or more and have multiple features and higher bubble output. All machines have a reservoir that holds bubble solution and a fan that blows the solution through multiple wands to produce bubbles. Higher-end devices might have a large reservoir, a secondary fan to help lift bubbles into the air and a timer with remote control.
• Some smaller bubble machines run on batteries, but most plug into an outlet. The type of outlet needed should be specified in rental instructions.

• Bubble soap must be added to the machine. American DJ charges $25 for a gallon of bubble soap^[7] formulated for bubble machines.

• Some machines include free bubble solution with the purchase.

• One possible downside of a bubble machine is that as they land, bubbles can leave rings on the bridal party members' and guests' clothing. They also can make a dance floor slick.
• TheKnot.com has a directory^[8] of local party rental companies.
