Frequently Asked Questions

The Event Rental Company

  • How does the rental process work?

    Browse our inventory online and submit a free quote request for the items you’re interested in.

    Once selections are finalized, we will send a formal invoice.

    Rentals are officially reserved once payment is received.

  • How do I reserve items for my date?

    Rentals are officially reserved once payment is received. Inventory cannot be held without payment.

     

  • Can you place items on hold?

    To ensure fairness and availability for all clients, inventory remains available until payment is received. All reservations are confirmed on a first-paid basis.

  • What if I’m unsure about how many items I need?

    This is common. We suggest reserving your best estimate as soon as possible to secure inventory for your event date. Adjustments can be made later if availability allows. We cannot hold extra inventory without payment, as other events may require the same items.

  • Can I adjust quantities after booking?

    Yes, adjustments can be made based on current availability. However, we recommend reserving your best estimate early to secure your preferred pieces, as inventory becomes limited as event dates approach.

  • Do you offer delivery and pickup?

    Yes. We are a delivery-based rental company.

    Our team coordinates directly with your venue to ensure delivery occurs prior to your setup time and schedules post-event pickup.

  • Can I pickup or return items myself?

    Unfortunately, no. To protect the quality and condition of our inventory, all rentals are professionally delivered and picked up by our team.

  • Do you deliver to residential homes?

    We primarily work with event venues for safety and logistical reasons. However, residential deliveries may be considered on a limited, case-by-case basis.

  • When will my items arrive at the venue?

    Once payment is received and we have your setup date and time, we coordinate directly with your venue to ensure delivery before setup begins.

    We communicate with your venue contact in advance so you’re not interrupted during event preparation. You’ll receive confirmation of delivery and pickup, along with photo confirmation once items arrive.

  • What is the process for returning linens?

    Professional laundering is included for your convenience.

    After your event:

    - Gently shake off food and debris

    - Do not wash, dry, or treat stains

    - Ensure linens are dry before placing them in return bags

    - Return the full quantity rented

    Normal staining is covered. Burns, mildew, tears, chemical damage, or missing linens may result in replacement charges.

  • What happens if an item is damaged or missing?

    Normal wear is expected but items that are excessively damaged, lost, or not returned will be charged at replacement cost to ensure inventory quality for future events and clients.

  • Do you offer setup services?

    We are a rental company and do not provide design or setup services. Items are delivered ready for planners or clients to style and place.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Once reserved, items are removed from our inventory and is listed as unavailable to potential customers, so payments are non-refundable. However, we can offer a credit toward another item or rentals in the future. 

  • What is the best way to contact ERCO?

    Our team is frequently on-site managing deliveries, especially on weekends. For the quickest response, we recommend submitting an inquiry through our website so we can review your event details and assist you with care and accuracy.
