If any rental items like tables, chairs, linens, or décor are damaged or stained while in your care, you may be responsible for repair or replacement costs.
Here’s how it works:
--A 10% damage protection fee is automatically added to your invoice (unless you decline it by email before delivery).
This fee covers:
--Up to $150 in accidental damage
--50% of repair/replacement costs above that amount
--If you decline damage protection, you’re fully responsible for 100% of any repair or replacement.
Additional notes:
--Cleaning fees apply if linens, dishware, or other items are returned stained, soiled, or with candle wax, food, or debris.
--Damage caused by misuse, neglect, weather, or theft is not covered by damage protection and will be your responsibility.
We recommend reviewing your coverage and caring for all items as if they were your own to avoid any unexpected fees.
-
Yes — we understand that plans can change! Last-minute rental changes or additions are possible, but they depend on inventory availability and our delivery schedule.
Here’s what to know:
--Additions made within 48 hours of your event may incur a rush fee
--If we’re already fully booked or the item is unavailable, we may not be able to accommodate the change
To avoid last-minute stress, we recommend finalizing your event rental order early, especially during busy seasons in West Michigan (like graduation and wedding season).
Need to add extra chairs, a tent wall, or a game last minute? Give us a call — we’re here to help.
