Can we set up the tent ourselves?

Installation of a tent must be done correctly for the protection of the users, the tent, and ultimately the success of your event. Therefore, it is our strict policy that all installations and takedowns are done by our experienced crews. All prices quoted will include these services.

What about site preparation?

Site considerations need to be dealt with before we arrive include mowing, automatic sprinklers turned off, electric and gas transmission lines clearly marked, etc. The crew will be back on site within the following day or two after your event for tear down; this usually happens early in the morning. We require decorations are removed and all rental items are in the designated site for pickup.

Does cost include setup of equipment other than the tent?

Like most rental companies, we provide curbside delivery; which means we will provide set-up of tents and draping. You or your event coordinator will be responsible for final placement of tables, chairs, linens, dishes, etc. However, A Covered Affair is happy to provide setup assistance for an additional fee.

Do you guarantee availability?

When is delivery and pickup?
