FAQ
-
When should I place my order?
You should reserve as early as possible. Rentals are reserved on a first come basis. Deposits are required to hold reservations.
-
I have created a "Wish List" on your website. Now what?
The wish list feature on our website is a great way to get an idea of inventory options and related costs. However, it does not reserve or place a hold on the items listed nor can it confirm availability. After submitting your quote request, one of our event specialists will email you with a formal quote within 1-2 business days. Once you have reviewed the formal quote, you must contact us to confirm a reservation. If your event takes place within two weeks, please call us at (626) 295-2066 instead of submitting a wish list. This is the fastest way to confirm availability of your requested items.
-
Is deposit required?
Upon reserving, we will ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit as well as a credit card to have on file. We accept all four major cards. Final payment is due seven days prior to the delivery/will-call date. Instances when delivery date is on a Saturday or Sunday, final payment will be due on the Friday of the week prior to delivery date.

Damage Waiver
A damage waiver is offered to protect renters from charges incurred due to normal wear and tear on rental items. A damage waiver is usually 10% of the total rental bill. It does not preclude you from paying for missing or lost equipment.

What is my responsibility when I return my rentals?
Tables and chairs should be folded and stacked. Dinnerware, flatware and glassware should be scraped free of food particles and repacked in their original containers. All other items should be boxed and/or crated in the containers you received the items in. If our crew is retrieving the items from your event location, all items should be returned to the point of delivery ready for pickup. You will be charged if rentals need to be disassembled, stacked or repackaged when our crew arrives to pick up the items. A charge will apply for all items, including boxes and crates that are missing or damaged.

Do I need to wash dinnerware, flatware, glassware and linens?

-
Does your delivery fee include set-up?
Items that require assembly such as tents, dance floors, lounge furniture, and market umbrellas include set-up and tear-down in the rental fee. Set-up/tear down is an additional fee and arrangements must be made prior to delivery, on a case by case basis if time and labor permits. If set-up and/or tear-down have not been contracted in the rental contract, and we must perform either of these services, additional fees may apply.
-
Do I get my money back if I do not use the equipment?
Unfortunately, no. Once our equipment leaves the warehouse we are not able to rent the items to other customers. Therefore, once the items are in your possession, you must pay for them.
