A little planning goes a long way.

Bring the essentials together before you request rentals. Clear details make it easier to discuss options and avoid assumptions.

Your rental request checklist.

Use what you know now. Flag anything that is still undecided.

Include the event start and end dates. Note any separate setup, delivery or collection windows.

Share the city and postal code, venue name if known, and access restrictions or loading instructions.

List item names, quantities, sizes and style preferences. Say where you can consider an alternative.

Describe the occasion and approximate guest count when it helps explain the rental list.

Explain what you need help with. Ask who supplies setup, collection and any associated services.

Note anything you still need to decide, such as layout, timing or whether particular items suit the venue.

What if I do not know exact quantities?

Should I include a budget?

Share the details you have and the questions you still need answered.
