STRONG EVENTS RENTAL FAQS
Q: What are your payment terms?
A: 50% non-refundable deposit due upon signing of contract and remaining balance (including any changes made to order) due 7 days prior to load-in.
Q: What if I don’t see what I want on your website?
A: You should definitely reach out to us via email as more than 50% of our work is custom for our diverse clients’ needs. Yes, we have a stock of existing inventory but our specialty is definitely in custom fabrication for the corporate and luxury wedding market.
Q: Do you have chairs & tables for rent?
A: We have a small assortment of furniture rentals to enhance stages and photo booth moments but if you are seeking large quantities of the same style chair, table, etc, please consider the following trusted rental partners: Marquee, Premiere, Whim, Cort, AFR.
Q: If I am a non-profit seeking a donation, how does this work?
A: Every event is reviewed individually, and here are our standard protocols when considering:
Any custom builds unfortunately do not qualify for a discount unless there is a multi-year agreement in place
Anything we already own, happy to consider heavily discounting depending on the item and what is already booked in our system by other clients
Labor & delivery fees still still apply, especially on weekend and non-standard hour load-in/load-outs
If your event date is during our peak season (late Feb - May & Sept - Dec), there is typically a minimum spend of at least $5K to help us manage our current team's workload. In other words, we can still donate some items, but please keep in mind that the minimum out-of-pocket cost to your nonprofit is $5K. We are currently NOT accepting any October non-profit event asks.
Depending on the final value of the in-kind donations, we ask that Strong Events be recognized as a Sponsor at the event with our logo and website link.
One way to maximize your budget is we can extend pick up orders for certain rental items (NOT all) so please feel free to reach out to hello@StrongEvents.com for more information
