However, décor, linens, and catering setup are not included.

Booking Your Party Rentals

Q: How do I book?

A: To book your Santa Barbara party rentals, simply reply “YES” to your Event Plan and follow the link to complete payment.

Q: Can I pick up rentals instead?

A: Yes, we offer an In-Store Pickup option for smaller orders. However, most clients choose delivery for a more seamless, full-service experience.

Delivery Timing

Q: When will my rentals arrive?

A: Your rentals arrive within the delivery window listed on your booking confirmation. To stay on track, always refer to your confirmation PDF for your exact timing and service details.

Q: What if my event is at night?

A: You can store rentals overnight in a dry, protected area when needed. However, many venues have strict rules, so be sure to check your venue agreement in advance to see if you need after-hours services (which begin at $2,500).

Preparing for Delivery

To ensure a smooth experience, prepare your space ahead of time:

  • Complete landscaping a day or two before delivery.
  • Turn off sprinklers while rentals are stored on site.
  • Clear all access paths & driveways.
  • Schedule other vendors the day before or at least 2 hours after delivery.

As a result, our team can work efficiently and avoid delays.

On-Site & Delivery Conditions

Q: What happens if I'm not home?

A: Delivery will still take place based on your selected service level.

For Budget Delivery, items are placed as instructed and documented with a photo.

For Full Service Delivery, we follow your submitted layout. However, having a representative onsite helps ensure access and proper placement. The team will only place the product once per delivery, so this is an important step.

At pickup, return rentals to the same location and manner received upon delivery. Be sure to provide clear access to avoid delays.

Changes & Additions

Q: What if I forget something?

A: Just call us at 805-680-5484 or fill out the change request form online. We'll do our best to add the forgotten item or details if we can. The best option is to contact us at least 48 hours before delivery.

Q: Can I add or change rentals?

A: Yes, you can update your order up to 2 weekdays before delivery, depending on availability. Because availability changes quickly, earlier requests have the best chance of being fulfilled.

Q: How do changes work?

A: All updates are processed through an Addendum. After you submit a request, you'll receive a link to review and confirm your changes online.

Q: Can I swap items?

A: Yes, you may exchange items of equal value before the cutoff window. If you upgrade, you simply pay the difference.

Setup & Access Requirements

Q: What if access is difficult?

A: Safe, clear access is required for all deliveries. If the area includes stairs, gravel, or uneven terrain, additional labor may be needed. Therefore, it's important to share these details in advance so the setup is not delayed or rescheduled.

Q: Do you install tents and big rentals like stages and arches?

A: Yes. For safety reasons, all tents, inflatables, arches, stages, and other structures are installed and removed by our team only. Additionally, the setup area must be level and free of overhead obstructions.

Pricing for Party Rental Delivery

Q: Why is there one price? Where are the fees?

A: We use package pricing, so you receive one clear total for your party rental delivery in Santa Barbara.

This total includes rentals, delivery, and setup. Because of this, there are no hidden fees on the services shown on your Event Plan.

As a result, your Event Plan is simple, transparent, and easy to understand.
