Bookings and Payments

Alterations and Annulment

Delivery of Equipment

Unless you specify that you need the equipment delivered, most companies require one to pick them up. If they are delivered, the charges are based on the drop off points accessible to the truck mostly the driveway or the yard. It is advisable to request for delivery to avoid the damages that can occur during transportation.

Set Up

The companies usually set up the tents, accessories, portable flooring, staging, lighting packages, furniture and additional setups at an added fee. They, however, do not offer table settings, linens, and decorations but can coordinate when required.

Returns

Once the event is over, the items are required to be taken back to the company. Appointing one person to be in charge ensures that the right equipment is collected and packaged in the required manner. Items that do not belong to the company are packaged and shipped back to the client.

Damaged and Missing Items

It is normal to break some glasses and other fragile items in any big gathering. Missing or damaged items are identified by the rental company, and the client is made aware. If they cannot be found within a day, replacement fees are then charged. There will also be extra charges on any hard stains on the linen.
