From Your Date to Monday Pickup
The whole thing, start to finish, with nothing hidden in a contract you see later.
Pick Your Pieces and Your Date
Start with a package or build a list from the collection. Choose a date and every piece shows whether it’s free that weekend.
Hold It With Half
A 50% retainer books your date and takes those pieces off the calendar for everyone else. The card you use is saved for the balance.
Sign the Rental Agreement
One page, signed online. It covers the terms below, nothing else.
The Balance Pays Itself
Fourteen days before your wedding we charge the rest to the saved card and email you a receipt. That leaves time to sort out an expired card.
We Deliver and Set Up
Thursday or Friday, we bring everything and set it where you or your planner want it. Picking up? Come to the shop in Columbia on Thursday.
We Pick Up Monday
Leave it where it stands. We take it down, haul it home, and check every piece.
Online booking with instant checkout opens this winter. Until then, steps one and two happen by email: send an inquiry and we’ll send a quote with a payment link.
Rental Terms
| Retainer | 50% of the order total, non-refundable, due at booking. Your date isn’t held until it’s paid. Booking inside 14 days of the event? The full amount is due at booking. |
|---|---|
| Balance | Charged automatically to the card on file 14 days before your event. We email a receipt. |
| Rental Window | Thursday out, Monday back. One weekend price, not a daily rate. For a weekday wedding, pieces go out the day before and come back the day after. |
| Damage Waiver | 8% of the rental total on every order. It covers normal wear, scuffs and the small things that happen at a wedding. Damage past normal wear, or a missing piece, is charged to the card on file, which you authorize in the agreement. |
| Delivery | Included in Zone 1 (up to 30 miles from Columbia) on any delivered order. Zone 2 is a flat $125, Zone 3 a flat $225. Farther than that, we’ll quote it. See delivery zones. |
| Minimums | $150 for pickup orders, $400 for delivered orders, in rentals before tax. |
| Sales Tax | 9.75% Tennessee and Maury County sales tax on rentals and on delivery and setup. Tennessee taxes delivery on a rental even when it’s a separate line. |
| Pickup Orders | Pick up Thursday at our shop in Columbia and bring it back Monday. Bring a truck or trailer that fits the piece; we’ll help you load it and show you how it goes together. |
| Setup and Safety | Light poles and large arches stand on ballast bases; we never stake into a venue’s ground. If wind makes a piece unsafe, our crew decides where it can stand. Nothing gets climbed, hung from or sat on unless it’s built for it. |
| Final Changes | Add pieces any time they’re free on your date. You can remove pieces until the balance is charged, 14 days before the event; removing them doesn’t lower the retainer already paid. After that the order is final. |
| Quotes | A quote is good for 14 days. It doesn’t hold anything until the retainer is paid (planners can ask for a 72-hour hold). |
| Photos | We may share photos of our pieces from your event. If you’d rather we didn’t, say so and we won’t. |
