What is a Rental Decor Company?

A rental decor company reaches the needs of people hosting events. We love designing, setting up, and making your dream event come to life. We constantly add new inventory to best suit the needs of our clients.

Where do you deliver?

We are located on Metro Parkway in Fort Myers, Fl. We travel as far north as North Port and as far south as Marco Island. You also have the option of picking up certain items from our showroom. Please inquire about further distance delivery!

What happens in case of Bad Weather?

We know it can be a huge stress factor when there might be rain on event days, however we do live in Florida where the weather changes frequently! All items that are booked will remain booked and we will try our best to accommodate your plan B. For all orders that have an event outdoors, we strongly recommend you to have a plan B in case of these situations. We will work closely with you, your venue, and/or wedding coordinator on the day of to confirm your plan B. Rentals cannot be left outside in inclement weather under no condition.

Can I update items on my invoice?

Your invoice can be updated up to 21 days prior to the event. We understand that guest counts can change and some items may no longer be needed. We strive to ensure that we can fulfill all of your event needs.

When should I reserve everything?

Due to having limited amounts of decor and one of a kind items, we suggest reserving items with a retainer as early as possible, after booking a venue. Any order received or canceled within 7 days of an event will be considered a “rush order” and may incur a rush fee or restocking fee in order to process it on time.

So… How does this all work?

Once you have booked your event date and venue, you should contact us. Your venue will have a major impact on choosing what items to rent, and your date is important to us so we can make sure we have those items available. After that, feel free to schedule a consultation, stop by our showroom or visit our online inventory to see all that we have to offer.

Do I have to give a deposit?

Yes, we require a non-refundable 50% retainer along with a signed agreement in order to reserve rental items for your event date. Failure to give a retainer or signed contract will result in the possibility those items won’t be available. Final payment is due 14 days prior to event.

What if my chair, table or linen count changes?

If the number of chairs, tables or linens you need for your event increased, or decreased, let us know and we will adjust your remaining balance accordingly. You will only have to pay for what you need, however, reductions in quantity are limited to 20% of the original amount ordered per item. Guest counts to make adjustments must be given to Something Borrowed outside of 21 days (3 weeks) before the event. Failure to do so will result in keeping original count on invoice.

Do you offer setup and take down services that includes setting linens and table decor?

Setup and take down services are available at an additional charge. These services must be booked in advance and based on availability of staffing and logistics. The service is also limited to items that are rented through Something Borrowed.

What is my responsibility if we do not contract setup and take down services?

Tables and chairs should be folded and stacked and all linens and charger plates should be free of food particles. All other items should be boxed and/or crated in the containers you received the items in. Dirty linens must be placed in the provided mesh bags. You will be charged if rentals need to be disassembled, stacked or repacked when our crew arrives to pick up the items. A charge will apply for all items, including boxes and crates, that are missing or damaged. Please save and reuse all of the packing material you receive with your order to prevent breakage.
