Reservations and Payments
Do I need a reservation?
Reservations are highly recommended. Early booking ensures product availability and smoother planning.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. We require a 50% deposit for most orders. For reservations that include tents or canopies, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required.
When and how do I pay?
Deposits are due at reservation. The balance is due before delivery or at pickup. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and ACH payments. Credit card payments incur a 3% processing fee.
Do you offer invoicing for companies?
Yes. Businesses can apply for credit with a predetermined credit line pending approval.
Delivery and Pickup
Do you offer delivery service?
Yes. Delivery is available for orders over $250. Delivery fees vary based on location, timing, and setup requirements.
Can I pick up my rental instead?
Yes. There is no minimum order for pickups. Just ensure your vehicle is appropriate and weather-safe for the items. We’ll assist with loading but cannot be held liable for damage to your vehicle. We do not assist in tie downs or supply any tie down ropes.
Can I choose a specific delivery time?
Standard delivery covers a general window. Specific timing may be arranged for an additional fee.
What if I’m not home during delivery or pickup?
Let us know in advance where to leave or retrieve the equipment. If we don’t have instructions and no one is present, rescheduling may incur additional fees. For tent installations, someone is required to be present. Event site or drop off area must be free and clear of any obstructions. Party Savvy is not responsible for moving said obstructions.
What kind of service should I expect from your delivery team?
Standard delivery is tailgate drop-off within 20 feet of hard surface from the delivery truck. Additionally, long distance placement of equipment, setup and take down of rental items, inside deliveries, or navigating stairs will incur added charges. Please notify us in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Does delivery include setup and teardown?
Setup and takedown are available for an additional charge. Some items (e.g., stages, dance floors, tents) include setup. See our price list for more info.
Can I rent equipment for use in a park?
Yes but check with the local parks department for permit or delivery restrictions.
When will my order be delivered and picked up?
We typically deliver the day before and pick up the next business day after your event. Specific windows and weekend/holiday arrangements can be coordinated for an additional charge. You are welcome to call your local store the day of delivery and pick up for an estimated window.
Rental Policies
How long is the rental period?
Rental pricing is for a one-day event. Extensions can be arranged.
What happens if I need to cancel or change my order?
Deposits are non-refundable. Final counts and balances are due two weeks prior to the event. We allow a 15% reduction in quantity after finalization. For business accounts:
- Cancellations > 14 days: 50% charge
- Cancellations < 14 days: 100% charge
What if I return equipment unused?
No refunds are given for unused items. Once equipment leaves our facility, it is considered rented.
How do I reach Party Savvy during off-hours?
We typically deliver the day before and pick up the next business day after your event. Specific windows and weekend/holiday arrangements can be coordinated for an additional charge. If you have a question about a current event with Party Savvy rental items in use, call your local office and follow after-hours prompts. If for a future event, leave a message and a staff member will return your call the next business day. You may also utilize the shop feature online to call your local store the day of delivery and pick up for an estimated window.
What if my equipment doesn’t work?
We test all equipment before every use. During transportation, shifting equipment may render an item inoperable. Notify us immediately by utilizing the after-hours on call service above.
Damage, Responsibility, and Returns
What if equipment is damaged or lost?
You are responsible for all items while in your possession. We offer a Damage Waiver (12% of rental total) to cover accidental damage (excluding theft, gross negligence, or loss). Damaged items must be returned to qualify. If declined, full replacement charges apply.
What are my responsibilities after the event?
- Tables/chairs: folded and stacked in the same location as delivered
- China/glassware: rinsed and packed in original containers
- Linens: shaken food-free, returned in cloth bags or hangers
- Skirting: returned on provided hangers.
Failure to meet these conditions may incur additional fees.

Late returns will incur additional charges. Extensions are available with advance notice and may incur additional charges.
