Questions to Ask Your Wedding Rental Company

How many do I need of each item? An experienced, professional rental company can help you estimate the perfect quantities based on your expected guest count.

What are the fees? Be aware of any fees for setup, delivery, damage deposits and charges for damaged/lost items. Make sure you know exactly which fees are included within your cost and which fees are incidental/extra.

How are delivery and setup handled? Are there special instructions to operate anything you won’t be setting up?

Are the items I’m viewing in your catalog warehouse samples/stock photos or pictures of the actual rental items in your inventory?

You’ll also want to consult with your venue before meeting with the rental company to be aware of what’s included with your venue rental package.
