Frequently Asked Questions

Dream Away Soirée is a sleepover party rental service designed to bring unforgettable, magical experiences to your home. We provide beautifully curated themes, complete with cozy teepees and bedding, whimsical decorations, and fun add-ons, creating a picture-perfect celebration for kids and families. Whether you're planning a birthday party, a special milestone, or a just-because gathering, we handle the hard work so you can focus on making memories.

We serve Rochester, MN and the immediate surrounding area. Delivery is included if located within 15 miles of our warehouse location (near downtown Rochester).

Our parties are best suited for kids aged 5 and up and we find that our services are especially popular with kids aged 5–14. That said, our setups can be customized for older kids, teens, and even adults looking to host a unique and memorable gathering!

Everything included in your Dream Away Soirée package is part of a rental experience designed to create a magical sleepover for your guests. This includes the aesthetic theme, beds, teepees, and all the accessories used to bring your chosen theme to life. After the party, we handle all the laundry, sanitation, delivery, and setup/takedown, so you can enjoy the experience without the hassle. The only items you’ll keep are optional purchases like balloon toppers or party favors (if you’ve added them to your package). None of the rental items from the setup are yours to keep, ensuring we can provide the same magical experience to future clients!

First, you will head over to our Book Now page and fill out our book now form about the number of guests, package, theme and your desired date. Once the inquiry form is complete, and you find your selected date is available, you will receive a party proposal. If you agree with the party proposal, you will sign the party contract and pay a deposit of $100 to reserve your date. The full payment for the party will be due seven days prior to the party date. Full payment will include all taxes, add-ons, and a $75 refundable security deposit. After the party, we will check the inventory and return your party deposit.

Absolutely! While our packages begin with four tents, we are happy to accommodate smaller groups. However, to ensure we can maintain profitability, the total booking for the full-service packages must meet a minimum of at least $250.

A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance is due one week before the event. Changes to bookings (such as rescheduling) must be made before final payment is made (one week prior to party date).

Cancellations made within 24 hours of the event or now shows are non-refundable.

To help us create the perfect sleepover experience, we ask that you provide the following: Clear Setup Space: A clean, open area indoors with enough room to accommodate the teepees and accessories. Please ensure the space is free of clutter before our arrival. Electrical Outlet: Access to a nearby outlet. We need them to blow up air mattresses. Parking: We require a driveway or nearby parking space to make loading and unloading supplies as smooth as possible. That’s it! We’ll take care of the rest to make your event stress-free and memorable.

Each teepee setup takes up approximately 6.5 feet by 3.5 feet of space. To ensure a smooth setup, make sure there is enough space to accommodate the tents with an unobstructed walkway, and that any furniture is moved prior to our arrival.

Most setups typically take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the party. Removing the items usually takes about 30 minutes.

To ensure a smooth setup process, we ask that you: Clean the floors in the area where the party will be set up. Remove any furniture from the setup area, as we are unable to move furniture ourselves or help move furniture when we arrive. Keep children and pets out of the setup space during our arrival and while we work.

We currently offer a variety of enchanting themes to make your sleepover unforgettable! Visit our Themes Page to explore the options available.

Yes! If you have a specific vision in mind, we’re happy to work with you on a customized theme. Please note that custom themes may incur additional fees depending on the details of your request.

Yes! We now offer personalized DIY Bracelet Kits — a fun, mess-free activity where each guest can create their own name bracelet to match the party theme. It’s a keepsake and craft all in one!

Clients are responsible for any damages or loss of equipment during the rental period. Repair or replacement costs will be billed accordingly. A $75 refundable damage deposit will be added upon final party payment. It will be returned to client after party supplies are checked the day following the party.

For the safety and comfort of all our guests, we do not allow smoking around the tents. Smoke can be difficult to remove from fabric, and we are mindful that some children may have sensitivities. To ensure a pleasant experience for everyone, we cannot set up a party in a space where there is a lingering cigarette odor.

While we ask that food and drinks be kept away from the setup to prevent any potential damage to the rental equipment, mess-free options are acceptable as long as they do not cause harm. Please note that any damage resulting from food or drinks will incur additional charges and even mess-free options can cause more damage than anticipated.
