Frequently Asked Questions

  • Introduction

    If you’re planning a big event, such as a wedding reception, retirement party, graduation celebration, golden anniversary, or an outdoor corporate event, you likely need to rent party equipment. Event rental businesses supply equipment and other critical materials for parties and gatherings of all types and sizes. 

    With rentals, you can host a spectacular event with all the necessities, along with any frills and extravagances you may desire. Renting is a convenient, cost-effective choice that saves you time and effort. But unless you’re an event planner or a serial party host, you may not have all the information you need to make an informed choice. Review these event rental FAQs to better understand the various options and services, pricing, and other important details about renting event supplies.
  • What is an event rental business?

    Event rental businesses rent out party equipment and supplies for a fee. The items they provide are typically expensive or event-use-specific. So, renting the items for individual events makes more fiscal sense. Many companies include delivery and set up with their services, as well as equipment pick-up after the event.

  • Are event rental companies the same as caterers?

    Caterers and event rental companies are not the same types of businesses, but they often work with one another. Food preparation and management are the services catering companies most commonly provide. However, full-service caterers also take care of acquiring much of the necessary party equipment, usually from an event rental business.

  • What services do event rental companies offer?

    In addition to renting event supplies to consumers, event rental businesses often help their customers with planning, setup, and break down. Many companies offer packages categorized by event type. For example, weddings, special themed events, a popular party essentials package, and a deluxe bundle with trendy extras and luxury items. 

  • Do the delivery fees include setting up the equipment?

    No. Equipment setup for large items, such as stages, tents, and dance floors is commonly included in the rental cost. Delivery fees are separate from the rental price and are typically charged by the round trip and include pickup. Standard delivery may only include a first-floor drop off.

  • Are setting up and breaking down the rental products included?

    The rental price typically includes the setup and break down of equipment that requires assembly, such as tents, market umbrellas, stages, lounge furniture, and dance floors. It’s standard practice to charge an additional fee to arrange tables, chairs, and other non-assembly items. Prior arrangements must be made, as well.

  • What party rental equipment can you rent?

    The list of available event rental supplies is extensive. Common items include outdoor equipment to host the party, such as tents and canopies. Tables, chairs, dishes, cutlery, dance floors, sound systems, and stages are popular party rental items. Specialty items such as bounce houses, concession machines, games, and décor items may be available too.
