Questions to Ask Yourself Before Selecting an Event Rental Company

Oct 18, 2019

Event rental vendors can bring your dream event to fruition by providing all kinds of things you may need. But it can be tough to choose the right vendor for your event. Choose wrong and you may not end up with the event supplies you need. So before you select an event rental company, make sure you ask yourself these questions.

What do I need to run my event successfully?

Before you select an event rental company and rent cotton napkins by the hundred, make sure you have a sound understanding of what you actually need for your event. How many people will be there? Where will your event be held? Are table and chair rentals included on-site? These are the kinds of things you need to know before you select an event rental company. Even a small party of 15 people can require up to 200 napkins. Without this knowledge, you and your event rental vendor won’t have an accurate idea of what you’ll need for a picture-perfect event.

What kind of quality am I looking for?

If you need to rent cotton linen for a high-profile wedding or dinner, you’ll need the best quality linens. But if you’re planning a big backyard bash, you might not need to pay top dollar for linens that your friends’ kids are going to be using all day. Determining the quality of supplies that you’ll need can play a big role in what kind of event rentals you’ll need. It can also sway your decision on which event rental company to hire.

Do I need set up, tear down, or technical support?

Say you’re renting out a sound system or a stage for your event. If you’re unfamiliar with setting up and operating equipment like this, it’s important to determine what kind of support you’ll need. Even set up and tear down support for tables and chairs can be useful if you’re really strapped for time. Ask yourself whether or not you’ll need this kind of support from your event rental company before starting your search. And if you’re unsure, ask! Here at Allied Party Rentals, for example, customer satisfaction is our top priority. Just say the word and we’ll offer the support you need to pull off an amazing event.

Does my event require a bundle of services or just a few equipment rentals?

Planning a multi-faceted event might require a large number of services. For example, a day-long festival event is likely to require multiple equipment rentals and perhaps some more extensive services. So before you search for an event rental company that only specializes in one area (sound systems, catering, etc.), make sure you’re asking whether you need a variety of services or just a few things. This can help determine your choice in hiring a singular event rental company or going to several different vendors, as well.

Whether you’re planning to rent cotton linen, tents, sound systems, party tables, chairs, or all of the above, you’ll need to make careful considerations before you can pull off the perfect event. Here at Allied Party Rentals, we want to help you make every event special, so make sure you contact us if you have any more questions.
