How it works

Renting should be the easy part.

Pick a date, choose your pieces, and we handle the rest. Here is exactly what happens, in order.

How it works

Six steps from date to done

  1. 01

    Choose your date

    Tell us your event date and ZIP. We show what is available for your day, from the warehouse that serves you.

  2. 02

    Browse available inventory

    Filter by occasion, color, material and style. Every piece has real photos, real sizes and a clear price.

  3. 03

    Reserve your pieces

    Add pieces to an Event List, adjust quantities and send a reservation request. We confirm within one business day.

  4. 04

    Pick up or delivery

    Pick up from our studio or have it delivered and set by our crew. Delivery windows are two hours.

  5. 05

    Celebrate

    Set the table, light the candles, and enjoy your own party.

  6. 06

    Return

    We collect the next morning, or you bring it back. Rinse off food, skip the laundry, and you are done.
