Frequently Asked Questions

CAN I VISIT YOU TO DISCUSS OR MAKE SELECTIONS?

We don't operate a showroom or office space. This helps us keep overhead costs (like paying commercial rents and all that comes with a building) lower. It also means that we keep our storage fees low because everything is packed, stacked, apart, boxed, etc to maximise storage capabilities (and therefore buy more fun things, more regularly!) Because of this, we do not offer the ability to come to see furniture or decor. That been said, we understand some people prefer more reassuring chat than just an email - so we are more than happy to have a phone conversation at any time you need and find this often confirms any queries you may have.

DO YOU STYLE?

Yes! As of July 2020, we have had stylists on hand we call upon who partner with us to create your perfect event. 

We also supply DIY Options or "dry hire' , but there is a MINIMUM SPEND. Please see further down for details.

We are more than happy to work with your selected wedding or venue functions coordinator as subcontractors and will take the stress work out of delivery and pickup without question. 

HOW DO I REQUEST A QUOTE?

Please complete out 'Get in Touch' enquiry form or phone us. It is often better to send an email, that way we have all the relevant information in documented form and we will either email you back or call you if we need more information. We will get back to you as soon as we can, this is very important to us. 

WHEN SHOULD I CONFIRM MY QUOTE/ DATE?

Until we have your deposit, your equipment is not guaranteed for your date. The sooner you can lock the date in, the better.

IS A DEPOSIT REQUIRED?

A 30% deposit of the full hire price will be required to secure your booking. Any deposit not paid within 7 (seven) days will forfeit their reserved items unless otherwise discussed. 

DO YOU CHARGE A SECURITY BOND?

Bonds are charged out at our discretion and are relative to the size and value of the items ordered. Festoons that are returned with broken globes will be charged at $10 per globe per broken (glass) globe. If a light is blown this will not be charged. 

Bonds are fully refundable if taken, or part thereof, once the order is collected and returned to us in the correct way. While we try our best to recover any missing items, if we are required to return to the venue to pick up any items that were not left with the rest of the order on the initial pickup, an additional pick up fee will be charged. If this amount is greater than the replacement cost, we will consider it lost and the relevant amount will be charged. In order for your bond to be returned within a maximum of one week after the event; please provide the account you wish this to be deposited into. If we have to go back to the venue, particularly in a busy period or if we are unable to get back to a certain venue, this may cause a delay in the bond being returned to your account. If this does not suit and you require you bond back, we will have to charge the replacement cost of the item until we are able to get it back and will return the balance of your bond, less this cost.​

DO YOU HAVE A COVID POLICY?

Given the circumstances, we must! Our promise is to work with you to make your event work as much as we possibly can. 

Deposits - Our current cancellation policy stands, deposits are non-refundable. 

Postponement - A full credit will be issued in full for use within 15 months to use at a later date that is convenient for both The Dunsborough Event Co (hirer) and yourself.

Cancellation - Eligible for refund prior to 30 days of the date, minus the deposit. Within 30 days of the event date, delivery and pickup fees will be refunded only. 

Any changes must be in writing and acknowledged by The Dunsborough Hire Co (hirer). 

WHEN IS PAYMENT DUE?
