Do I have to clean the items before return?
Yes. All glassware, crockery, cutlery, and any other equipment that has had food or liquid on it must be returned rinsed clean. Chairs etc do not have to be cleaned unless they are extremely dirty. Albany Event Hire reserves the right to charge cleaning fees if items are unsuitably returned.
What if I break or lose something?
Breakages and missing items will be charged at replacement cost for that item. Most of our glassware lines are tempered glass which means they are more difficult to break than standard glassware.
How do I go ahead and turn my quote into a booking?
To lock in your items and go ahead with your booking we require a NON-REFUNDABLE 30% deposit. This locks in your items for your date, after the deposit has been paid you can still add items to your booking, small changes quantities but cannot remove whole items from your booking, as they could have been hired out to other people and is considered loss of opportunity.
