Pick up cannot be scheduled with drivers and crew members

Allure Party Rentals offers late night pick up services if the venue requires. Late night pickups are an additional charge and they must be arranged at least one week prior to delivery. If our crews arrive on site at the scheduled pick up time and the equipment is not ready to be picked up, you may lose your late pick up spot and there may be an additional fee.

Q. My venue is above ground floor (or below), or not within the standard delivery requirements, are you able to deliver?

Yes, however, we need to know this information prior to delivery. Additional fee(s) apply if crews need to go up/down elevators and stairs, go long distances, through narrow passages, or through multiple areas. Call for specific information.

Q. What is required for a reservation?

All reservations require a valid credit card and signed authorization form for all reservations. A deposit is required if your order is $100.00 or more. The minimum deposit is 50% for orders $100.00 - $399.99; 25% for orders $400.00 & up.

Q. What is your Cancellation Policy?

Payment(s) are non-refundable. Payment(s) are applied to account as store credit ONLY for rentals cancelled more than 7 days from Invoice date.

Q. What happens if rental(s) are damaged or missing?

Customer is responsible for equipment from delivery to pick up. If equipment is damaged/missing, customer will incur repair/replacement charges. Missing equipment will be charged an extended rental per day until returned. If not returned within 3 days, full replacement value will be charged in addition to the extended rental days. If your event is outdoors, equipment must be protected from elements. Do NOT place wet items in bags or area without ventilation.

All equipment must be placed as delivered, stacked, and returned to packaging. Additional charges will apply for scattered equipment, or if it is not in area where delivered.

Q. Do I have to clean tableware items after they are used?

Full cleaning of tabletop rentals is not required. However, the rentals need to be rinsed and free of any debris and put back into the crates they were delivered in. If dinnerware is received with food or debris an additional cleaning fee (minimum $150) will apply.

Q. What can I do to avoid damage to equipment?

Many items should not be left outside as they can become damaged from rain/water. Chiavari chairs, farm tables, vineyard chairs, linens, and other items made from wood/fabric are items easily damaged by weather. Wet/damp linens should not be placed in plastic bags or enclosed as they will quickly mold. Candle wax will also ruin most linen/fabric items.

Q. How long does it take for tent set up?

It depends on the size of your tent. It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours or more. Factors that can add to the set up time are unlevel grounds, sand, amount of light, and if the set up is further away from the loading location. For your specific tent set up times, contact your representative.

Q. How much space do I need for a tent?

Allow a minimum of 4 feet around the perimeter of the tent for setup. That means if you order a 20'x20' size tent, the area you want to have for proper installation should be 24'x24'. The highest point of most of our tents is 13' so there should be no overhead obstructions in the perimeter of the tent up to 13' high. We can install tents in smaller areas than that but please advise us so that we can be prepared when the crew comes, and if necessary perform a site inspection. There should be nothing in the area of where the tent will be installed, as this can prevent the tent from being installed in a timely manner or correctly.

Q. What is needed for proper tent installation?

Equipment loading, transport, and installation areas must be open and cleared without obstacles or obstructions. Tent installation area must be clearly marked or verbalized and ready for installation.

Q. What is needed prior to install of flooring?

A day or two prior to your delivery, have your grass cut as low as possible. This ensures that your dance floor is being installed as level as possible. We do not recommend installing dance floors on sand or uneven surfaces.

Q. Do I need to supply a power source and extension cords for lighting or temperature control equipment?

A power source must be supplied for all rentals that require electricity to operate. A standard, dedicated outlet is sufficient. Extension cord(s) are not included with rental and must be supplied by the customer or rented from Allure

Q. Do you set up lighting?

Installation of lights is included only onto tent(s) rented from Allure Party Rentals.
