2️⃣Enter your event details

📋 At checkout, pop in your billing, delivery, and event info. You’ll also choose whether you’d like to collect your order for free from us in Amersham or have us deliver it to you. (Delivery charges aren’t shown at this stage – they’ll be included in your official quote.)

3️⃣Review your official quote

📧 We’ll email you your full quote, including delivery costs and any notes. You can make changes if needed, and we’ll confirm availability or suggest alternatives if something’s not available.

4️⃣Secure your booking

💳 Once you’re happy with your quote you can click on the Accept button to confirm. If your event is within the next 6 months, we’ll ask for full payment to confirm the order. If it’s further out, we offer deposit options.

5️⃣You're all booked in

📦 Once payment is received, your booking is confirmed – we’ll take it from here!

6️⃣Damage deposit (pre-authorised only)

🔐 We’ll take a pre-authorised card hold before your event – not a charge. It’s only used if there are any damages or missing items, as detailed in your confirmation.

7️⃣If you’ve opted for delivery...

📍 We’ll send you a link to our delivery tracking portal, so you can follow along as we head your way.

8️⃣On the day

🚚 You’ll get an email and a call from your driver with an ETA – no waiting around wondering where we are.

9️⃣Set-up or drop-off

🛠️ If you’ve booked set-up, we’ll take care of everything. If not, we’ll deliver to the agreed location and leave you to it.

🔟Collection after your event

♻️ We’ll return to collect everything and count it back in. Crockery and glasses just go back in their boxes, we take care of the cleaning! Chairs should be stacked with seat pads bagged in 10’s.
