Wedding Rentals – Make sure you have all the needed items!<\/h3>\n

Having an outdoor event or using a venue that doesn\u2019t provide every item needed (or the
\nitems that they provide don\u2019t meet your style)? Well let\u2019s talk rentals!<\/p>\n

The starting point:
\n\u25cf Check which vendor provides what –
\n\u25cb venue to see what they include in the price.
\n\u25cb caterer to review what they include in their price. If you need to provide rentals for them, what do they need and will they unpack and repack the rentals?
\n\u25cf Contact a rental company with your total guest count, the budget you would like to work within (be realistic and honest, as a truly professional company will guide you to the best options), and if you have examples of styles that you like, provide those too!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSome items you may want to consider and discuss with your wedding rental company:
\n\u25cf Outdoor wedding:
\n\u25cb Do you need a tent? Is it the main venue or will it just be your backup plan if the weather is unpleasant?
\n\u25a0 Will you want fabric draping, chandeliers, or other specialty decor?
\n\u25a0 You may also want to consider heating or A\/C depending on the season and weather forecast.
\n\u25cb Will you need power? Will you need generators to provide electricity for the DJ, band, caterer, and lighting? (These are a few suggestions that will need power, it’s not an exhaustive list!)
\n\u25cb Restrooms? If you’re outdoors will you have adequate restroom facilities? Estimate around 4 stalls for women and 3 stalls for men per 150 guests.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\u25cf All venues:
\n\u25cb Tables and chairs:  You will also want to check if they are provided and meet your expectations at any venue you choose. Remember to include ceremony seating and any special situations like musicians that need seated while playing. In addition to tables for your guests you may need
\ntables for buffets, cake, and gifts.
\n\u25cb Dance floor. If you are outdoors this may be a necessity, and if your
\nvenue doesn\u2019t have one or you dislike the one they have you will want to
\nmake sure you have this in your list of rental items.
\n\u25cb Linens and napkins. There are an array of fabrics, patterns, and colors to choose from, and linens are a wonderful way to customize your wedding and showcase your style! Renting linens ensures that they arrive clean and pressed and that you won\u2019t have to deal with the hassle of cleaning\/storing\/selling them after the wedding.
\n\u25cb Dinnerware, flatware, and barware. The best way to figure out what you need here is to start with the venue, caterer, and bartenders to see what they provide and any recommendations they will provide. Your wedding rental professional will answer any questions and assist you with
\nrecommendations and suggestions.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

— There are other rentals that may appeal to you depending on the look and atmosphere you would like to create from lounge furniture to ceremony decor like archways. Check with your local wedding professionals to learn about the options you have available.<\/p>\n

Tips:
\n\u25cf If your caterer is placing an order with the rental company, see if they will add your items to their order so that the wedding rentals are all delivered at the same time. This will keep you from having to pay multiple delivery fees, and if all rental items are from the same company you won\u2019t have to keep the orders separate to make sure that they are returned to the correct rental company.
\n\u25cf Inquire if the company charges damage waiver fees and what these fees cover and, just as importantly, what is not<\/em> covered.
\n\u25cf Review cancellation policies, deposits, retaining fees, and payment arrangements.<\/p>\n
