FOR PARTY & EVENT RENTAL NEWBIES

Anyone who needs basic rental items such as tables and chairs for their home to host a party has only five steps to complete:

1- Look online for potential Party Rental Companies and view their web site.

2- Check out photos and information on the different types of chairs and tables available.

3- Make a list of the items you need to rent along with any questions you may have about the services or items. Some Rental Companies have their price list posted online – you can print it out to use as a guide.

4- Call the Rental Company you would like to use to get a quoted price (written). Aside from the rental costs of the items, expect to pay state tax, a delivery/pick-up fee, and maybe a labor charge (for additional services such as set up and break down).

HINT: You may be able to save the delivery/pick-up charge by doing a self-pickup and return – depending on how many rental items you need, this may be a feasible option for you.

The Rental Company should at this point email (or fax or snail-mail) you a printed quote.

5- If the rental quote shows what you want at an agreeable cost, you then place your order. The easiest way to reserve your order is with a credit card over the phone.


The entire ordering process can take only ten minutes if you have already seen the prices online and know what you want. Have your credit card and your email address (for the quote to be sent to) available when you make the call to avoid having to call back to reserve your order.


Party Rentals can be surprisingly affordable:

Lets say you are planning a party for 40 guests. The rental order would be 40 basic Folding Chairs and 4 Folding Tables (60” round or 8’ long) to fit ten guests on each. Your total cost would be somewhere between $70 and $80 if you pick up and return the items. If you need to have the items delivered, you would have to also pay the delivery/pick-up charge. It is based on how far away from the rental company you are – the fees are standardized and the rental company can tell you what they are when you call.


Larger Orders:

The process is much the same for larger orders that include tents, stages, china, linen, and glassware, etc. The delivery fee is for a truckload (and the trucks are fairly large) so it would remain the same. The only other fees (besides the rental fees) would be the additional services required by the renter.

Chair Layout Part 1 - How To Design A Layout To Fit Your Event Space

Image
Designing an Optimal Chair Layout: The most important part of the chair layout is not the chairs themselves - it is the aisles. If the aisles are not planned properly, your guests will spend a lot of time waiting to get into their seats, delaying the start of the performance. Safety is always important, so the access aisles should also allow your guests to get out of the room quickly. Row Aisles: When planning the layout for an audience, it is important to allow enough room between rows of chairs for guests to enter and exit the rows before and after a lecture or performance. The absolute minimum is eighteen inches. Any less than this and you could have major problems with moving the audience in and out of the space in a timely fashion. The amount of chairs in the row should be no more than fifteen. Your guests in the center of the row will then have to walk only ten or twelve feet to get out of the row. Middle Aisles: Center Aisles, Side Aisles & Lateral Aisles The other pl

How to design a Poster Board Layout

Image
Mark Saponaro camelotspecialevents.com Poster Board Goals The best poster board has more graphics than text and is easily readable in a very short amount of time.   The poster board should be self-explanatory  so any reader can easily follow the content without stopping to figure out what they just read.    The goal is to make your main points (2 or 3 total...do not overload with info) in a limited amount of space (typically a 4'x 6' poster board) with attention grabbing info & graphics. This type of poster board will allow a reader to fully understand your topic, its premise, and ultimate conclusion. Text Use a simple font for printed text (eg. Arial) that can be read from a distance of about 3 feet.  This means the type size should be about 1/2 inch tall.  For the Title text, use a 1 inch high type size.  Print out a test page and measure the font with a ruler to check for appropriate size.  Hang this test paper on the wall and see how far away it

KEEPING FOOD WARM AT YOUR PARTY

Image
Hot plates, crock pots, ovens, stoves, and microwaves can all be used to keep food warm at your party. They are not the best choice when it comes to a buffet. You want your guests to have easy access to a variety of hot food. The best way to accomplish this is with Chafing Dishes (also called Chafers). Chafers have their own heat source which is used to heat water which in turn heats the food. There is no direct flame on the food pan so your food stays warm without burning. The heat is most often created by an ethanol (alcohol) based gel in a can ( Sterno ). The fuel can last two to three hours depending on wind and how much the adjustable sterno cover is opened. The standard 8 quart Chafer is all stainless steel and consists of a base with at least two removable sterno cup holders and adjustable covers, a water pan, a food pan, and a cover. Preparing your chafer for use is easy: First, put about 2" of hot water in the water pan (the largest one). Next, load the p
