Can you arrange décor for a London town hall and a separate reception?
Include both addresses and the time each room is available. The quote needs to account for two delivery stops, any ceremony-to-reception move and the team required. Check what the ceremony venue permits before ordering aisle decorations or an arch.
Do delivery quotes include London parking and access charges?
Ask for any parking, road-user charges and extra delivery trips to be itemised. The venue postcode, vehicle access and timing affect the delivery plan. Delivery is quoted for your venue and date.
Can you work with a short setup window or a late collection?
Give the earliest supplier access time and the deadline for clearing the room. A short turnaround can affect staffing and which installations are practical. Late-night collection must be agreed in the quote.
Does dry hire mean the same thing for a venue and for decorations?
No. A dry-hire venue and dry-hired decorations are different bookings. Décor-only hire means you arrange placement and return of the pieces unless the agreement says otherwise. It does not include a venue, catering or wedding coordination.
Can I request décor for a specific cultural or religious ceremony?
Describe the ceremony and any required structure, dimensions or floral details. Specific items such as a mandap or chuppah need to be confirmed individually; a general wedding décor enquiry does not confirm specialist stock or installation expertise.
What does wedding decoration hire in London include?
The agreed items are hired for a defined period. Styling, delivery, flowers, installation and collection are separate things to check. Your proposal should specify the item names, quantities, materials and the jobs included, so you can compare it with your venue’s own package.
Can I hire individual items instead of a package?
Include the individual pieces you want in your enquiry. A package can help coordinate a larger setup, but a shortlist is useful if you only need table centrepieces or a ceremony backdrop. Availability and any minimum order need to be confirmed.
How much does wedding decor hire cost in London?
Start with the spaces you want to dress and the amount you are comfortable spending. Guest-table quantities, floral choices and installation affect the cost. Share your budget to help prioritise pieces; the budget options in the form are planning bands, not advertised package prices.
Is hiring wedding decorations cheaper than buying them?
Compare the full cost of buying, transporting, storing and disposing of or reselling the pieces with the hire quote and its delivery charges. Hiring may suit large or specialist items you will use once. Small personalised keepsakes may make more sense to buy.
Can I request wedding décor for my London venue?
Send your London venue name, postcode and wedding date so delivery can be checked. Include separate ceremony and reception addresses if needed. An enquiry is not confirmation of coverage or availability.
Can you set up and take down the decorations?
Tell us if you want installation and pack-down included in the quote. Share the venue’s earliest access time and latest collection time, plus any room change between ceremony and reception. The proposal needs to say who does each job.
Can I collect and return the décor myself?
Ask about DIY collection when you enquire. Confirm which items are suitable to transport, their packed dimensions, the collection point and the return window. Larger arches or installations may need supplier handling.
How long can I keep the hired items?
The hire period needs to be agreed before booking, including delivery or collection day and the return deadline. Mention a multi-day celebration or restricted venue access at enquiry stage so the quote accounts for it.
How far ahead should I book wedding decoration hire?
Enquire when you have an approximate date and venue. Specific pieces and installation teams depend on date availability. Check the reservation process and payment deadline before assuming an enquiry or quote holds stock.
Can I enquire before I have booked a venue?
Yes. Give the area you are considering and an approximate date. A final quote may depend on the venue, access arrangements and the quantities you need. You can explain what is still undecided in the optional details.
How many table centrepieces will I need?
Begin with one arrangement per guest table, then consider the top table and other displays. For example, eight guest tables would mean eight guest-table arrangements before those extras. Long banquet tables may need a different layout.
Can wedding decorations match my colours or theme?
Send a colour palette, photographs or a Pinterest link with the enquiry. Specify any exact shades or finishes that matter. A reference image communicates the direction; it does not confirm that every pictured item can be supplied.
Can I hire fresh flowers, silk flowers or faux arrangements?
Ask which floral materials are available for each piece. Faux and silk arrangements can be reusable hire items, while fresh flowers need a separate scope and care plan. Confirm whether vessels are hired and which flowers, if any, you keep.
Can ceremony flowers be moved to the reception?
They may be reusable in another space if the design, access and timing allow it. Agree who will move them and allow enough time to do so safely. Do not assume your venue team will move hired décor.
Are candles and outdoor arches allowed at every venue?
Venue rules vary. Check flame restrictions, electrical requirements, permitted fixings and installation arrangements. Outdoor setups also need a weather contingency. Share those rules with the enquiry so unsuitable options can be ruled out.
What happens if something is damaged or returned late?
Read the hire terms before booking. They should explain responsibility for loss, breakage, cleaning and late return, including how charges or any refundable security deposit are handled. Keep the agreed inventory and report issues promptly.
Is a deposit required, and can I change or cancel the booking?
The written offer should state any reservation payment, balance date, security deposit and amendment or cancellation terms. Request the terms with your quote before paying.
Can I see examples or view the hire items?
Ask for photographs of the actual pieces and their dimensions before booking. For a large arrangement, a venue-scale image or a viewing can help. The images on this page show styling inspiration. Ask for photographs of the available hire items.
