EVENT RENTALS FAQ
​
1. RESERVATIONS
​
We suggest to our customers to make reservations as soon as possible. The more notice we have helps us guarantee we can accommodate your needs.
All rentals are reserved on a first come first serve basis. For this reason, we do require a 25% booking deposit in order to secure the items for your reservation. However, we will make every effort to provide the items you need at the last minute!
Any changes to your order can be made up to a week prior to your delivery or pick up.
​
2. CANCELLATION POLICY
All of our rentals are first come first. Which means once you put down your retainer and reserve your items with us, we no longer allow that availability to any other customer. For these reasons we have a cancellation policy in effect.
All tent rentals - the 25% retainer is non-refundable for any cancellations.
​
For all other rentals the following policies applies;
​
If cancelled with less then 30 days notice to us – 25% of the total bill will be charged
If cancelled with less then 1 week notice to us – 50% of the total bill will be charged
If cancelled with less then then 48 hrs notice to us – 100% of the total bill will be charged
​
3. RENTAL RATES
​
Prices are based on a one day event rental. We do allow a 72 hr period for delivery and pickup. An example weekend event would be delivered the business day prior and returned the next business day.
All pricing is based on time out, whether used or not so please make your selections carefully!
We do offer long term rentals as well, please contact us for pricing.
