Event Rental FAQ — Fiesta Events San Diego

Submit your rental list on our Get a Quote page. We will confirm availability, the applicable rental minimum, delivery and service options, and send a formal quote for electronic signature.

A quote is a price estimate and does not reserve rentals, staffing, or the event date. A booking is confirmed only after the agreement is electronically signed and the required 20% non-refundable retainer is received.

Yes. You may reserve the date and base rentals first, then confirm colors and styles later. For weddings and larger events, we recommend finalizing linens, napkins, chargers, glassware, and other tabletop selections at least 30 days before the event, subject to availability.

Yes. Changes must be requested or approved by email or text. Additions are accepted up to 7 days before delivery or setup, subject to availability. Removals are accepted up to 14 days before delivery or setup. The rental-item subtotal may not be reduced by more than 20% from the highest rental-item subtotal previously approved in writing. Delivery, pickup, setup, breakdown, installation, labor, taxes, and other service fees are excluded from that calculation and do not automatically decrease when rentals are removed.

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Saturdays, peak wedding season, specialty rentals, larger canopies, and limited chair or tableware styles. Availability is first-signed, first-served.

The remaining balance is due 7 days before the event date.

Package contents vary and may include tables, chairs, floor-length linens, napkins, chargers, glassware, and flatware. Wedding packages may include a courtesy sweetheart table. The exact rentals, setup, breakdown, and tablescape services included are listed on your invoice.

No. Residential Partial Setup includes only the larger Fiesta Events rentals specifically listed on the invoice, such as tents, canopies, tables, chairs, dance floors, and other equipment. Linens, runners, napkins, chargers, plates, glassware, flatware, and other tablescape items are delivered in containers unless a separate Tablescape Setup service is approved and added to the invoice.

Washing is not required. The client, caterer, or designated representative must clear the dining tables, remove food and debris, empty glasses, sort the items, and properly repack all tableware in the provided containers. Fiesta Events does not clear tables, scrape plates, sort used tableware, or repack tableware after the event.

We offer standard tarp canopies and decorative draped canopies in multiple sizes up to 30 feet wide. Available size, style, color, and capacity depend on inventory and the installation location.

Canopies require a suitable, accessible installation area with approximately 2–3 feet of clearance on all sides, or more space when required for anchoring. We use cement blocks or water barrels and do not use stakes. When water barrels are required, the client must provide accessible on-site water.

No. We provide complete draped-canopy rentals using Fiesta Events frames and materials.

Under Flexible Residential Delivery, canopy installation may occur 1–3 days before the event, and pickup may occur 1–2 days after, based on Fiesta Events' assigned route and schedule. Clients who need a specific date must select Scheduled Delivery & Pickup in advance, subject to availability and additional fees.

Options may include market lights, chandeliers, and decorative twinkle lights. A working outlet must be available within 50 feet of the installation area. If the outlet is farther away, notify Fiesta Events in advance. Additional extension cords may be available for an extra charge, subject to availability; day-of requests are not guaranteed.

We serve most of San Diego County. Rental minimums and service availability vary by area, distance, date, season, access, and logistics. Review the service-area map above or submit a quote request for confirmation.

Flexible Delivery & Pickup: Delivery may occur 1–3 days before and pickup 1–2 days after, based on our route. The client does not select the date or time.

Scheduled Delivery & Pickup: For an additional fee, the client may select a delivery and/or pickup date; Fiesta Events assigns the arrival window.

Same-Day Delivery & Pickup: Limited, higher-cost service subject to staffing, routing, inventory, and availability. A higher rental minimum may apply, and weekend availability may be limited.

Drop-Off / Client Breakdown: The client sets up, folds, stacks, packs, and prepares the rentals for pickup.

Drop-Off / Fiesta Events Breakdown: The client sets up; Fiesta Events returns to break down the rentals included in that service.

Partial Setup: Fiesta Events installs the larger rentals listed on the invoice and returns after the event for breakdown. Linens and tablescape items are not included unless a separate Tablescape Setup service is approved.

Tablescape Setup may be available when arranged in advance and listed on the invoice. It may be completed during the original delivery/setup visit and left covered, or through a separate event-day return visit at a higher fee. Event-day tablescape setup is limited and is not guaranteed unless approved and added to the invoice.

Yes. For orders involving tents, tables, chairs, dance floors, bars, lounge furniture, or multiple package items, final placement instructions must be provided at least 7 days before delivery or setup. A professional floor plan is not required; a clear, simple sketch is acceptable. Setup fees cover placement and assembly of Fiesta Events rentals only. The crew cannot wait on-site while placement decisions are made.

Yes. Paid Layout Assistance is available for clients who need help arranging the placement of Fiesta Events tents, tables, chairs, dance floors, bars, lounge furniture, and other contracted rentals. It applies only to Fiesta Events rentals and does not include full event planning, guest seating assignments, or coordination of third-party items.

An adult must be available to provide access and confirm placement unless other arrangements are approved in advance. If no representative is available, Fiesta Events may place rentals using reasonable discretion. Before pickup, all rentals must be accessible and either remain where delivered or be returned to the same area.

No. The setup area must be clear, accessible, and ready when the crew arrives. Setup fees do not include moving personal furniture, décor, venue-owned items, or third-party rentals.

Remove food, trash, decorations, personal belongings, and third-party items. Clear, sort, and repack all tableware in the provided containers. Rentals must remain where Fiesta Events delivered or installed them, or be returned to that same accessible area. Client Breakdown orders must be folded, stacked, packed, dry, organized, and ready for loading.

A 20% non-refundable retainer is required to reserve the order. The remaining balance is due 7 days before the event date. Partial payments may be made earlier but are not required.

We accept credit and debit cards, Venmo, and Zelle. A credit-card processing fee may apply. Available payment methods and fees will be shown on your invoice.

Cancellation, refund, and weather-rescheduling terms are detailed in the agreement provided with your quote. Please review them carefully before signing.

Yes. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance after booking when required by a venue or property. Send the exact certificate-holder and additional-insured requirements at least 14 days before the event.

Missing, stolen, broken, or damaged items may be charged at the reasonable cost of repair or replacement, including applicable shipping, handling, and labor. Replacement charges are based on the item's value, not its discounted rental price. Normal wear is not considered damage.

We provide event rentals, approved setup services, and paid Layout Assistance for Fiesta Events rentals only. We do not provide full event planning, guest seating assignments, vendor coordination, or floral design.

Yes. Linens, runners, and napkins may be rented separately, subject to the applicable rental minimum and delivery or self-pickup availability. Please confirm your table sizes before ordering.
