You’re Engaged! And you need rentals, but where do you start?

When planning an event, especially a wedding, a lot of Brides call and open with “I don’t really know what I’m doing…” Here are some questions to get you started with planning of your big day! When coming to us with rental needs, there are a few questions we will have right from the start…

1)       Delivery or Pick Up – make sure you know when your venue will accept deliveries and the times you have been allowed to access the building.

2)       Dinner – Your china, flatware and glassware will depend on whether you have a buffet, family style or plated dinner. It helps us to know which style to guide you in the right direction with the amount of items you will need.

3)       Décor – Do you have a decorator? Do you have idea about colours and linens? We offer a wide range of linens from napkins to runners to full table cloths. The first question we will ask when you are looking for linens for your tables is – What size is the table? This helps us find the best size for the look you are trying to achieve.

Other things to consider that will help us, help you:

How many guests are expected? A lot of Brides ask if they can adjust their numbers after the make a reservation – YES! We recommend reserving your MAX amount…it’s always easier to remove items rather than add during the busy wedding season.

How much time in advance must I reserve my items? I always tell our customers, the sooner the better. That doesn’t mean you’re not going to get what you are looking for if you wait, but if you know you NEED or MUST have certain items, why wait?

There are just a few things to get you thinking about your big day! Avalon is here to help and we have a great team of professionals that an give you help with every aspect of your wedding!
