Question 1

What should I expect when hiring an event burro?

Accepted Answer

Your donkey or donkeys will arrive to the event freshly bathed (weather permitting), brushed, and each with a knowledgeable, friendly handler to walk them. We will dress them in our faux flower arrangements and/or flower crowns. We arrive early and will be ready to walk into the event at the scheduled time!

Question 2

How far do you travel for events?

Accepted Answer

We will generally only travel up to around 50 miles from our Smithville MO farm for the health and safety of the donkeys. Please enquire for pricing for events 50+ miles away as we can review these on a case by case basis, but unfortunately some events are too far outside our travel zone.

Question 3

Do they like people?

Accepted Answer

YES! There is nothing more they love than being pet and scratched and loved on. They adore attention and people.

Question 4

Do you only do weddings?

Accepted Answer

Heck no! We can do all sorts of parties like corporate events, birthday parties, any event where  you want great photo opportunities and want beverages or party favors handed out to your guests. They are also available on a case by case basis for photoshoots. Please email for inquiries about photoshoots!

Question 5

What about the poop??

Accepted Answer

We always bring help with us and will have manure forks to remove any "gifts" the donkeys decide to give us! There is always a chance they can urinate so we do like to stick to outdoor venues!

Question 6

Can kids sit on them for photos/Do they give rides?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not allow anyone to sit on the donkeys, even just for a photo. This is to ensure their safety and comfort, as they are very small!

Question 7

How long can we rent the burros for?

Accepted Answer

The donkeys are available for your event per hour, and we generally book one hour events and like to stay under 2 hours. For special circumstance we can discuss longer events. Generally, we find one hour works perfectly for most cocktail hours!

Question 8

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We carry commercial liability insurance.  The donkeys are also up to date on their vaccines and coggins tests to show they are not carrying transmissible diseases.

Question 9

Do you provide the photographer?

Accepted Answer

While we do not provide the photographer, if you do not have a photographer for your event we are happy to help snap photos of you and your guests with the donkeys with your smartphone or camera.
