What is your reservation fee?
If you are reserving the date of your event more than 120 days prior to your event, all services are subject to a non-refundable 50% down payment at the time of contract signing. The remaining balance is due 90 days prior to your event date. If your event is taking place less than 90 days, all payments are due in full at the time of contract signing. Any rental equipment will not be guaranteed unless these requirements are met.
What is your damage deposit?
A damage deposit is required to cover any charges incurred due to normal wear and tear on rental items. A damage deposit equal to 20% of your total package is due at the time of contract signing. We also must have someone’s credit card on file. Damage deposit payment can be made in the form of check, cash or money order. This deposit is due with your final payment. After the event, we will refund your damage deposit less any damages and any other charges incurred. Your damage deposit will be separate from any other fees and may not be applied to any other payments. In the event damages exceed the amount of the damage deposit collected, you are liable for the difference of costs which must be paid no more than 30 days after your event date. Any unused portions of the damage deposit will be returned to you no more than 30 days after your event.
Who is responsible for the items?
Responsibility of the equipment remains with the client from the time of delivery until the time of return. Please be certain equipment is secured when not in use and protected from the weather. Charges will be assessed for missing, broken or damaged items, as well as linens which are lost, torn, burned or soiled beyond cleaning. The full replacement value will be charged in addition to the rental charge incurred for usage. Please be careful of candle wax as it will permanently damage most linen.
What info do you need to place an order?
