That depends on how many rentals we have that day. Generally, we ask the Customer for a three hour delivery window that best works for them. Also, when your party ends, we may come up to two hours after the end time if we are delayed.

We love setting up at parks, but most parks require a permit to host a party on site. Please be sure to acquire necessary permits prior to your event. Also, parks are first come, first serve so get your spot early in the day. Also, it is your responsibility to determine if we can stake the tents or if you’ll need to rent our sand bags to hold down the tents.

Can we see a copy of your contract and safety rules?

Yes, you may review our safety rules upon request by emailing us.

How much in advance do is required to reserve an item?

We do not have a cut off time for reservations, we take reservations as late as the day of your event for any last minute needs, upon our availability. It is highly recommend a minimum of 2 weeks prior and ideally 2 months in advance to ensure best rates and open available.

Do you require a deposit?

To secure a reservation all you need to do is call our office with a credit card or debit. This process would hold the Rentals for your date. Once you submit your reservation the cancellation fee is 50% of the entire order amount.

Does the price include set up and delivery?

The prices listed does NOT include the set up/delivery/break down fee. Remember prices do not include sales tax. Please ask about delivery fees for more information. When you pay for the delivery option, this covers us setting up and breaking down tents and inflatables only, if those items are on your order. For pick up, please have tables and chairs folded and stacked before the driver arrives.

A Comprehensive Guide to Budgeting for Your Next Event

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the task of creating and maintaining an event budget? You’re not alone! It’s easy to get bogged down by the many expenses of planning an event. However, resist the temptation to sign vendor contracts until you’ve established a clear budget. A well-organized budget will help you stay on top of your expenses and avoid last-minute surprises.

At A & B Party Rental, we want to help you plan and execute the perfect event. Read on for tips on creating a budget that works for you.

Tips for Creating a Budget:

Before we dive into the specifics of creating an event budget, here are some handy tips to keep in mind:

Don’t procrastinate: budgeting should always be your first step when planning an event.
Add details: by including as much detail as possible in your budget, you’ll get a more accurate sense of your expenses.
Know your focus: establish your priorities and allocate funds accordingly.
Don’t underprice items: while it may be tempting to underestimate costs, this can lead to dipping into backup funds.

Creating Your Event Budget:

1. Figure Out What You’re Budgeting For:

Start by identifying each element of your event that will involve expenses. Depending on the type of event, your list may vary. Be specific and consider every aspect of your event, from venue rental to entertainment. Some items you may want to include on your list are:

Venue
Food
Alcohol
Tables and chairs
Clean up
Entertainment
Decorations
Tents

This is just a preliminary list. As you start to talk to vendors, you can refine your budget.

2. Do Your Research:

Once you’ve listed your budget expenses, research the cost of each item. If you’ve done similar events in the past, you can compare the amounts spent on those events. If this is your first time planning an event, contact vendors and suppliers for cost estimates.

3. Estimate Your Costs:

Now that you have a general idea of your expenses map out each line item. You should have a good sense of the venue, food, and entertainment options you’ll be offering. With your research, you should be able to estimate the costs of each line item.

4. Finalize Your Budget:

You’ll finalize your budget as you make important decisions like choosing vendors and decorations. Remember that allocations can change, so allocate a 10-20% contingency fund of your overall budget. Your budget should be complete once you’ve added your contingency line item!

Creating an event budget may seem daunting initially, but with these tips, you’ll be well on your way to executing a successful event.
