Do you set up the equipment/party package?
Some equipment (outdoor movie, food machines, etc.) is set up by our team members and this is included in the price displayed on the product page and noted. For any other equipment set up (tables, chairs, picnic set-up, etc.), please let us know at the time of booking so that we can calculate the additional cost and time required.
How do I make a booking?
The quickest and easiest way to book equipment is submitting a request for a quote on our website. We will quickly get back to you with a confirmed price and availability, and then you secure the booking by paying a $50 deposit online.
Provisional bookings without a paid deposit will be cancelled 7 days after the deposit due date. The final balance is due no less than 7 days prior to the event date.
If the booking is made within 7 days of the event date, the full payment is due upon invoice receipt to secure the booking for the desired items and date.
Do you require a deposit to secure my booking?
We require a $50 non-refundable deposit to secure your booking, with the remaining balance to be paid 7 days prior to your event date. If you make your booking within 7 days of the event date, we will require full payment payable upon invoice receipt.
What happens if it rains on the day of my outdoor booking?
We offer a 'wet weather guarantee' which allows you to postpone your booking to another date (subject to availability) without the loss of your payment. We will give you a full credit note for the full amount your party cost to be used at a later date, valid up to 6 months. You have up until 12pm (midday) the day before your booking to take advantage of this option, if bad weather is forecast.
Can I cancel my booking?
In the event that you decide to cancel your booking, you need to notify us immediately in writing. A cancellation fee will be payable:
- more than 7 days before the hire period commences: $50 (the non-refundable deposit you have paid);
- between 1 and 7 days before the hire period commences: $100;
- less than 24 hours before the hire period commences: 100% of the booking fee, and where a balance payable is due, those funds become immediately payable.
Rescheduling an event incurs no fees if advising us with 48 hours or more notice. Otherwise a $50 postponing fee will be payable.
What if something gets broken?
We use the highest quality equipment that is built to last. All rental items may be inspected at time of delivery by you for any damage. Should any of our equipment or decorations be damaged during your hire period, we will invoice you for the repair/replacement cost or the insurance excess for our claim (whichever is lower).
