Frequently Asked Questions
🌸 General FAQs
Where are you located?

​
When can I collect/return the items for DIY?
Generally, pickups are offered on Fridays or Saturdays. However, if it’s a fully booked weekend with event setups, Saturday collections may be unavailable, and two pickup times will be offered on Friday instead. Someone else may collect on your behalf if you provide their details and ensure they bring ID at the time of collection.
DIY hire periods typically range from 24-48 hours, depending on availability. If items are required for another booking the same weekend, the hire period will be limited to 24 hours.
When do I get my bond back?
Bond payments are processed and returned by the Friday following your event after a thorough cleaning and inspection of items.
