About
Look around and you are sure to find hundreds of party planning business, event companies and party suppliers in and around South Africa. All of them offering the best of the best of everything. Most of them will also tell you that they found the proverbial gap in the market and are proudly filling it by taking the market by storm and reinventing the events business, when in fact wost of them offer nothing more than what the next guy offers. Most of these business models are based on the cheapest deal concepts with beautifully crafted websites and consist of mainly weekend worrier style traders, the moms and pops extra income earner business, the bakkie brigade style operators, or the franchised party company that has claimed to have changed the face of the industry. In reality, its pretty much the same old of everything with very little innovating, creativity or technical konw how of their business.

What if I want to change my order?
Give us a call or pop through an email. We will be more than happy to change your order however you see fit.
Are the inflatbles safe?
Inflatables are designed to have kids and even adults jumping and bouncing on them non-stop. Our expert team always sets up inflatbles with the utmost care and attention to detail. Every inflatble is tied down and all cables are neatly laid down. Blower motors are placed far from the action and marked. So yes they are safe as long as you and your children follow the provided rules for each item. Furthermore we do offer optional supervisors to help assist at your events and some of the larger scale items have compulsory supervision that will be on site to ensure safety at all times.
What if it rains?
Unfortunatly mother nature does call down upon events. No one can control the weather and in the event of adverse weather conditions we will have to cancel any and all outdoor equipment. JK Productions does not claim any responsibilty for adverse weather conditons, including rain, high wind, dust, low visibility etc. It is your responsibility to ensure a contigincy plan and allow for the postponing of the event to another date.
What happens if load shedding hits us or we suffer a power failure?
JK Productions will not take any responsibilty whatsoever for any power issues that may occur with power that is not supplied by JK Productions.
Other power concerns?
All equipment rented by us has it's own technical specifications. Most items require access to 1 or more 220V plug points; standard 3 point connections on most walls. Please ensure that there is a suitable electrical supply for all items booked. Please ensure that you understand the electrical requirements for all items and if you are unsure of the exact requirements please give us a call to assist you in power planning.
How long is the rental period?
Most inflatables and carnival equipment have a rental period of 6 hours and most sound and tehnical equipment have a rental period of 4 hours. However all items are subject to a number of terms and condtions. It is best to check with us as to the exact amount time you will have with individual items.
How does payment work?
All items and equipment are subject to availability, details and costing are subject to change without notice. Most bookings will be paind with a 50% deposit to ensure confirmation of the booking however depending on when you book (How close you book to the event) we may require payment in full. Once we have quoted you we will explain in full how we would like you to conduct payment. Some items require a refundable security deposit which will be retained until the goods are returned. Any damages and or loss will void your right to claim back the security deposit.
We made an 'oops' and damaged a peice of equipment, what do we do?
Please do not attempt to make a 'homemade' repair. We have a team who will repair the items in accordance to all safety guidlines once the item is returned. However the damages and losses to the item(s) in question will have to be at the expense of the client.
Do you deliver, otherwise how and where should we collect?
We do make deliveries and collections. Pricing for delivery and collections will be quoted depending on the exact location of the event. We deliver mainly to the greater johannesburg area. For out-of-town events costs will increase substantially due to additional fees; staff transport and fees, accomodation, meals and insurance. Standard delivery and collection fees will be charged during normal office hourse: 9:30AM to 4:30PM. Deliveries earlier or later than the afore mentioned times must be arranged with the office in advance and additional fees will be charged. Garen games must be collected and delivered at the expense of the client to our offices: 22 Devon Place Longmeadow Bussiness Park Modderfontein.
What if my venue is difficult to access?
During the intial quote it is the responsibilty of the client to make us aware of any diffuclties we may experience when attempting to access the event. This is most important as many inflatables can weigh over 400KG and much of the technical and sound equipment can also weigh upwards of 100KG. It is imperative that we understand the access to the venue so we can make the necessary provisions.
Is this everything?
NO! This is not everthing. We have an ever growing catalogue of items, products and services. We do try to add evrything to our website but it is not always possible. If there is something you would like that is not listed here please feel free to call us or drop us an email.
Do you provide staff to supervise and attend to products at an event?
For our specialized items we will provide apropriate staff to manage an supervise those items for the entire duration of an event. However if an item does not mention staffing please ask as we would be happy to provide staffing that require. We do have dry/self items which are exclusive of all staffing and delivery and collection.
Do I have to have an outdoor event?
No you do not! While most events we do are held outdoors you are welcome to have an indoor event. We have had many inflatbles set up indoors on many occasions. However the biggest concern is space for the inflatables, especially height. Please check that your venue can accomodate the equipment first.
Do I have to book?
Most certainly. During our peak season August to April, we reccomend you book 3 - 5 weeks in advance of hiring single items. If you are planning a large event, eg School Function, we suggest that you book at least 4 - 6 months in advance. The earlier you book the better as we cannot garuentee availability if you do not book long in advance.
Are you BEE compliant?
Yes we are a registered BEE level 2 company.

Yom Ha'Atzmaut 2018 - Israeli Independance Day.
JK Productions had the priviledge of working along side the South African Zionist Federation to celebrate Israel's 70th independance day. The day was a celebration of freedom in the Jewish homeland, to comemmorate the day that David Ben Gurrion signed the declartion of the state of Israel. This was not the first time we worked with the SAZF to create an outstanding evening of fun and games and pure joy for the whole family.
As it can be seen in this amazing drone shot, we pulled out all the stops for this momentous occasion. Everything from the rocket parachute to the carousels came out for this evening of fun.
Pictured in the front of the shot was the amazing family fun park. All the games and rides the kids could think of. Every single inflatble was set up earlier that day by our crew with an incredible attention to detail. Its a large undertaking setting up a birthday party with, maybe, 4 inflatbles but this night was unlike anything as we had to setup a total of 11 inflatables and a variety of carnival games and rides. Now you understand why this image had to be take from more than 400ft in the air with a state of the art camera drone.

Pictured towards the back of the venue was the one of a kind, JK Productions exclusive; stage and roof combo. An engineering marvel when you realize that the entire structure was setup that morning and by the next there was no trace that it had even been there. An enormous sound system had to be erected too in order for the lively Israeli folk music to be heard all the way into the Family Fun park area.
It did not take long for a huge crowd to form in front of the stage as guests sang and danced along with the highly talented bands and muscians. Backing these amazing people was our state of the art lighting system which provided incredible bright lights on stage for the preformers but also amazing mood and special effects lighting. Lasers were abundent.
In the end the evening was a huge success. Our clients were beyond ecstatic with the performance and the service they recieved. Every guest who was there that night will have memories to last a lifetime. And we were proud. Proud that we had conducted such an important event with excellence. Executed superbly. We look foward to working with the SAZF long into the future to bring them more incredible and outstanding events.
We hope that this case study has inspired you to choose JK Productions for you next event. You will not be dissapointed.
