“How much does this cost” is usually the first question, and the honest answer is: it depends on what you're picturing, not a flat rate per hour or per guest. A few things actually move the number.
Category is the biggest factor. A single backdrop rents very differently from a full statement installation or a table piece — bigger, more elaborate pieces cost more to rent, same as they'd cost more to buy or build.
How many pieces you're combining. One statement piece (a single arch, a single throne) is the cheapest way to get a designed look. Building a full setup — backdrop plus seating plus a few tables — adds up the way any multi-item order would.
Pickup vs. delivery. Pickup from our Queens, NY location is free. Delivery across NYC and NJ is quoted by ZIP code — closer and easier-access locations cost less than a walk-up in a building with no loading dock.
The deposit is separate, and refundable. Every rental includes a refundable security deposit on top of the rental fee — it's not an extra cost, it comes back to you after the piece is returned in the condition it left in. Full terms are on our Rental Policy page.
The fastest way to get a real number: open the piece you're picturing and submit a request — it takes about two minutes, and we confirm exact pricing by hand, not a bot. See how the whole process works on How to Rent.
