The number one question we get asked is “what made you start a Foam Party business?” The answer is always the same, we have five kids. Our initial business, Gator Bounce Rentals started one evening after a birthday party for our son, which was the second party in two months. For each one we had rented a bounce house combo for the kids and knowing we had at least two more birthdays in the coming months we joked about just getting one for ourselves. This started the almost daily conversation about bounce houses and water slides in the house. We looked online; we learned the industry trying to figure out if this was the business that we really wanted to start.

A month goes by and we are coming up on birthday number 3 in 4 months and guess what we were looking for another inflatable to rent, but this time we were looking at it threw a different set of eyes. We looked at the whole process from making a phone call to the day the slide was picked up and we realized one thing, we could do better. Thus, Gator Bounce started taking shape and a plan was made.

From there, we learned we love the atmosphere and fun of foam parties even more. So, SWFL Foam Parties formed as well. It is still operated under the Gator Bounce Rentals name and reputation. 

A little more about the owners, Brian and Megan Garcia. Both of us were born and raised in Florida and are South West Florida natives. Being raised in Alva and Punta Gorda, respectively. Our family have deep roots in East Fort Myers, with Brian’s family being in Buckingham for well over 100 years. These roots have shaped who we are and the values that we bring to SWFL Foam Parties. Those old southern values, where everyone is family and treated as such. When you call us for your birthday partyor big event, we want it to be just as much fun as you do, because you are now part of our extended family.

Love, Megan, Brian, and the 5 little ones.
