Smiling Dog Entertainment has a number of fun and entertaining party games available for rent including 9 Square in the Air, Corn Hole, Crossnet and our newest game - Jazzminton - Sport!
Jazzminton-Sport is a great new paddle sport that can be played indoors and outdoors. It doesn't take up much space as the Sport birdie can only fly so far.
Jazzminton-Sport is perfect for a mid-day stress release at the office or a picnic with the family in your backyard at home or the park.
We're so excited to introduce the game to you that we don't even have it listed on our website yet, but you can rent it, for $49.99 for an up to 72-hour rental, by contacting us at [email protected].

At Smiling Dog Entertainment we have the opportunity to work with many amazing people to help them create memorable events.
This past weekend we had the opportunity to create memories at 4 Graduation Parties, 2 Wedding Receptions, a college All Class Reunion, and a 90th Birthday Party.
The individuals who hired us for these events were so appreciative of the services we provided and made the events so much fun for our staff to support.
One bride enjoyed her photo booth experience so much she wrote a review of her experience the next day!
The attached photo is our White Barn Wood backdrop in use at the 90th Birthday Party. We supplied the backdrop and the client provided the rest of the decor. This client could not have been happier with our services and went above and beyond to make the delivery of our services so easy!
To all of our clients, both old and new, on-going and one-time, we thank you for your support of Smiling Dog Entertainment and for giving us the opportunity to help you create memorable events!

Thank you for inviting us to be part of your special day Claire and Chad!
At Iowa Memorial Union.
Thank you Borrow My Vintage for helping us out with the beautiful black loveseat.

The Vintage Wedding Photo Booth Experience comes with, among other elegant options, your choice of a vintage couch or loveseat.
We have a number of options for you to choose from, but if you have something in mind that's not in our inventory, let us know what you'd like and we'll see what we can do to get it for you.
For instance, Claire, who's wedding we'll be at tomorrow, wanted a Black couch or loveseat for her photo booth experience. We don't currently have anything black in our inventory so we're working with in West Branch, Iowa to provide a black couch for Claire's photo booth experience.
This is just one example of the quality of customer service you can expect when you work with Smiling Dog Entertainment.
When quality is the deciding factor, we make your decision easy.
