Meet the Family Behind 3 Monkeys

We're not a faceless corporation. We're a family - now in our second generation - who genuinely cares about this business and the community we serve.

A Second-Generation Family Business

Founded by Pam and Steve Corsner

Named after their three sons - Gabe, Cole, and Lincoln - the original "3 Monkeys"

When you search "3 Monkeys Inflatables" on Google, you'll see we dominate the area - but not because of clever marketing. We win because you win. We care deeply about every single event, from the smallest backyard birthday to the largest community festival.

👑 The Founders

Steve Corsner
Co-Founder | Master Technician

PA Ride Inspector Food Safe Certified

A CPA by training, but his real talent is fixing things. Steve became so skilled at inflatable repair that manufacturers started calling him. That led to Inflatable Doctor - an industry-known repair service. Now retired, it serves as an educational resource for the entire party rental industry. Steve's hands touch every piece of equipment we own.

Pam Corsner
Co-Founder | Industry Advocate

PA Ride Inspector

Pam founded Women of Vinyl over 10 years ago - a non-profit support network helping women succeed in this male-dominated industry. After nearly 20 years of building 3 Monkeys, Pam is stepping back as the second generation takes the reins - though she's never far when her expertise is needed. Her legacy of customer care lives on in every interaction.

🌟 Second Generation Leadership

The next generation is here - Gabe, Cole, and Kellie now run day-to-day operations, carrying forward the values Steve and Pam built the company on.

Gabe Corsner
2nd Generation Leadership

PA Ride Inspector Operations

Grew up in this business - literally. When customers rave about "Gabriel and the team being phenomenal" in Google reviews, this is who they mean. Now leading operations alongside Cole and Kellie.

Cole Corsner
2nd Generation Leadership

PA Ride Inspector Operations

One of the original "3 Monkeys" - all grown up and now part of the leadership team. Cole specializes in our extreme attractions like rock walls and mechanical bulls.

Kellie Corsner
2nd Generation Leadership

Office Manager Compliance

The glue that keeps our team together. Kellie runs the office, manages scheduling, ensures compliance, and makes sure every customer interaction exceeds expectations. As Pam steps back, Kellie has stepped up.

"Cole ran our rock wall at the company picnic and it was the highlight of the entire event! He was so patient with the nervous climbers and made sure everyone felt safe. The kids were lining up for hours - we're definitely booking again next year!"

- Sarah M., Corporate Picnic ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The customer service was super helpful and accommodating, they constantly kept in contact and were flexible with any changes we wanted to make... Everyone I spoke to from customer service was nice and I look forward to working with them again."

- Zack T., Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🌱 Growing the Team

Lincoln Corsner
The Youngest "Monkey"

College Student Part-Time

The youngest of the original "3 Monkeys" is all grown up and in his first year of college! Lincoln works part-time between classes and over summer breaks. Starting 2026, he'll become a driver managing his own team - the next chapter is already being written.

Jordan
Office Team

Customer Service

Works alongside Kellie to deliver the exceptional customer service our customers rave about. From first call to final pickup, Jordan helps ensure every detail is handled with care and every question gets answered.

"From my first inquiries, to booking, and to the day of the event - the process went very smoothly and I was always kept in the loop of things. Everything we were expecting and more, our students had so much fun!"

- Kevin B., College Event ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

- Mike D., Graduation Party ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Emmett was amazing to work with! Definitely went above and beyond to make sure our event was successful and ran smoothly. Very grateful to have worked with them!"

- Mrs. Harner, Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

- Becca Q., College Event ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The bounce house was clean and in great condition - the company clearly cares for and maintains the inventory. Delivery and pickup teams arrived on schedule and they were friendly and professional. Setup and breakdown was surprisingly quick and easy!"

- Lauren D., Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why This Matters to Your Event

Happy employees deliver better service. That's why we provide constant drinks and snacks on busy days, homemade cookies and fresh pretzels during peak season, owners meeting crews in the field, end-of-season bonuses, and an annual team trip - this year, a cruise for the whole crew. We treat our team like family because they ARE family. And that care shows up at your event.

How to Choose a Party Rental Company

Not all rental companies are equal. Some are fully licensed and insured. Others are just someone with a used bounce house and a pickup truck. The difference matters when it comes to your family's safety.

5 Questions to Ask ANY Rental Company

Before you book with anyone - including us - get answers to these

1 State Registration

"Are you licensed and registered with the state?"

In PA, companies must register with the Department of Agriculture. Ask for their registration number. Hesitation = red flag.

2 Insurance Proof

"Can you provide a certificate of insurance?"

Reputable companies carry at least $1 million in liability. Many venues require proof. Legitimate companies provide this easily.

3 Equipment Inspections

"Who inspects your equipment, and how often?"

PA requires registered inspectors. At 3 Monkeys, we have eight on staff and inspect monthly - plus before every public event.

4 Cleaning Protocols

"How do you clean your equipment?"

Look for antimicrobial treatments, not just a "wipe down." Ask about their cleaning protocols between every rental.

5 Emergency Plans

"What happens if equipment breaks during my event?"

Professional companies have backup plans and 24/7 support. Ask about their emergency response procedures.

⚠ Red Flags to Watch For

❌ No Insurance Proof
Can't or won't provide certificate of insurance or state registration
❌ Worn Equipment
Equipment looks faded, patched, or damaged - signs of poor maintenance
❌ Cash Only
Cash-only transactions with no written contracts or receipts
❌ Too Cheap
Prices that seem too good to be true - they usually are
❌ No Address
No physical location - just a cell phone number
❌ No Reviews
No online reviews or way to verify their reputation
