Making a booking

The easiest way to place an order with us is by completing one of our Enquiry or Contact Forms which can be found on the Wedding Packages or Contact Us pages. You can also email us to place an order, by emailing hello@rentforyourevent.co.uk 

Your booking will only be confirmed and the date of your event secured once we have sent you an invoice and received your booking fee.

Payment

We currently have three payment options in order to give our customers plenty of choice when booking with us, including being able to spread the cost! These are;

50/50 

A non-refundable booking fee of 50% of the full hire amount is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance plus security deposit will then be due no later than 4 weeks prior to the event date. 

Pay in Thirds

A non-refundable booking fee of a third of the full hire amount is required to secure your booking. A further third is payable at a date provided at the time of quote (usually at mid point between date of booking, and wedding date). The remaining third plus security deposit must be paid no later than 4 weeks prior to the wedding date. 

Pay in Four (available with spends over £1500)

A non-refundable booking fee of a quarter of the package/booking total is required to secure your booking. Two further quarter payments are payable at dates provided at the time of quote (split evenly between date of booking, and wedding date). The remaining quarter plus security deposit must be paid no later than 4 weeks prior to the wedding date. 

We will also send you reminders in the lead up to your wedding date for any outstanding balance. We will do our upmost to contact you via email and phone/text/whatsapp to let you know when your balance is due, and will do whatever we can to help / be as flexible as possible. However, in the event of not receiving your outstanding balance by 2 weeks before your event date (and with no response from yourselves after numerous attempts to contact you) we have the right to cancel your booking and retain the booking fee. This is absolutely a last resort, so please do contact us – we’re here to help!

Prices

Our quotes are valid for 2 weeks from issue. After which they will be subject to the current prices advertised at that time.

Once we’ve received your booking fee, we will not increase the cost of the booking unless in the following circumstances; 

– the date or location of the event changes, and therefore travel and/or time costs need to be recalculated

– you inform us of the need for us to return and move an item, which will be quoted separately for. Note items must not be moved once set up, see below ‘Set Up’ 

Should you wish to add additional items to your booking at a later date after you have paid your booking fee, these will be subject to the current prices advertised at that time.

Cancellations

Cancellations (up to 3 months before the wedding date) will result in the loss of the booking fee (the amount of which will be detailed in your invoice). We will do our utmost to accommodate a new booking for your new date however should we not be available we reserve the right to keep the booking fee.

Cancellations with less than 3 months until the wedding date will incur a loss of all monies paid to date, this is due to us having held your date and chosen items (turning away other potential customers). Should we manage to obtain a new booking for your date though we will refund all but the non-refundable booking fee.

Once an order has been placed and booking fee paid for, you may not reduce the price of your order. This is because we have held these items for you and quite often turned away other customers. We will allow swaps for other similar priced items, if they are available on your wedding date.

Please note: should Rent For Your Event need to cancel your booking due to unforeseen circumstances or illness, all payments already made will be refunded to you.

The security deposit will be fully refunded on safe collection/return of the hired items in the same manner as to how the deposit was paid. The speed of refund will depend on your bank. Please allow up to 3 days for us to return the security deposits during busy periods due to the need to check all items hired.
