We are unable to wait until the ceremony is finished to dress the tables unless pre-arranged with us. We are unable to un-stack or arrange chairs at your venue. This something you need to sort with the venue before our arrival. If there is an issue an arrangement will be made prior to the event.

We strongly recommend that you check the items before they are collected and sign them off when the driver comes to the venue, if you are unable to do this we will check the items and our decision is final.

All of the items on the displays are counted before we leave and will be recounted when we come to pick the goods up. Anything missing will be taken from the security damage deposit.

Save the Date will endeavour to get the hired goods to the venue and exhaust every option that is available before cancellation of the booking. It is the responsibility of the hirer to make sure the hired goods are insured for such incidences.
