Emory, TX • Gateway to Lake Fork • Serving since 2006
Bounce House & Party Rentals in Emory, TX
Trusted by Emory families, Rains Wildcat boosters, Lake Fork lake-house owners, ranchers, church families, and Rains County event organizers for nearly two decades.
Emory is small, tight-knit, and anchors a county that punches well above its weight on outdoor recreation. As the seat of Rains County and the gateway to Lake Fork - the premier bass-fishing reservoir in Texas - Emory draws anglers from across the country, fills the fairgrounds for stock shows and rodeos, packs out Wildcat Stadium on Friday nights, and centers community life around the historic courthouse square. Jumper Bee Entertainment has been making the drive east from DFW into Rains County for nearly 20 years, delivering bounce houses, water slides, carnival rides, synthetic ice rinks, and full event builds for Emory families, Rains ISD, Lake Fork tournament weekends, and everything in between.
From a six-year-old’s birthday at a shoreline cabin on Lake Fork to a courthouse-square Main Street event, we bring the equipment, set it up safely, run it professionally, and clean up after. You focus on the guests, the fish fry, or the kickoff.
Why Emory Books Jumper Bee
We Make the Lake Fork Run
Emory sits east of DFW at the gateway to Lake Fork - we build the route up TX 19 and I-30 and have been doing it for nearly 20 years.
Full-Service Production
Inflatables, rides, synthetic ice, Santa, entertainers, concessions, tables, chairs, tents, and staffing - one call covers a Rains ISD field day or a bass-tournament family day at the marina.
On Site Before the Wildcats Tip-Off
We target anchored and safety-checked well ahead of Rains Wildcats games, homecoming weekends, and Friday-night spirit events at the high school.
COIs for Rains ISD & the City
We carry the liability coverage Rains Independent School District, the City of Emory, and Rains County venues require - same-day COI turnaround when you need it.
Clean, Inspected Equipment
Every inflatable is sanitized between events and inspected on setup - same standard at a Lake Fork shoreline birthday as at an Addison office campus.
Backyard to Courthouse Square Scale
From eight kids on a gravel drive off FM 515 up to a full festival footprint around the Rains County Courthouse, we scale production to match the event.

FAQs - Party Rentals in Emory
Do you really deliver to Emory, or is that too far east of DFW?
Emory is a regular stop for us. We run I-30 east and TX 19 south into Rains County during the season and book Rains ISD events, Lake Fork tournament family zones, courthouse square events, and private parties in and around 75440. Distance is not a barrier - we build the route.
How far in advance should I book a bounce house or party rental in Emory?
For weekend events during peak season (March through October), book 3-6 weeks out. Big Rains County weekends - Lake Fork tournament dates, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Wildcat homecoming, and the county fair - book 6-10 weeks out. Weekday and off-peak events can often be accommodated with 7-14 days’ notice. Same-week availability happens; call us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you set up on the Rains County Courthouse Square or at the fairgrounds?
Yes. Courthouse Square events and county-facility events typically require permits from the City of Emory or Rains County and a certificate of insurance listing the appropriate entity as additionally insured. We handle the COI on our end and walk you through the permit process.
What about a Lake Fork marina or shoreline event?
We set up at Lake Fork marina host venues and private lake homes regularly. Private-marina and SRA (Sabine River Authority) facility events have their own permitting; we’ll flag that on the booking call and provide the COI naming the right entity.
How much does a bounce house rental in Emory cost?
Standard bounce houses start around typical DFW market rates, with combo units, water slides, obstacle courses, and themed inflatables priced up from there. Full event packages - rides plus inflatables plus concessions plus staffing - are quoted based on scope. Call 972-429-4545 or submit a quote request for a firm price on your specific Emory setup and date.
We’re setting up on a ranch road or lakeside lot - can your trucks access it?
Almost always, yes. We regularly set up on ranches, FM routes, and Lake Fork lakeside lots. On the booking call we’ll ask about access - gate width, turnaround space, and whether the path is paved, gravel, or graded dirt - so we can send the right vehicle and plan the setup path.
What’s your cancellation and weather policy?
Full details are on our Refund and Returns Policy page. Short version: we monitor weather, communicate proactively, and work with you to reschedule or refund when conditions force a change - East Texas spring storms and lake-weather fronts included.
