Look for as Many References (Reviews) as You Possibly Can 

Researchers have found that 83% of people trust recommendations made by friends and family, and you should too, especially when it comes to picking an event rental service. You want to get as many comments, quotes, reviews and critics as you can to evaluate different companies based on the opinion of the most insightful people you’ll find: their own clients! 

 

Pay Close Attention to Their Customer Service  

Every single interaction you have with your event rental service is an opportunity to assess the quality of their customer service. Whether if it is through the phone, e-mail or in person, you can quickly observe patterns of how they are likely to deal with you once you have committed to hiring them. You want to make sure they can kindly serve your needs and that they have the willingness to talk things through if something doesn’t go as planned. 

 

Be Careful with Cheap Alternatives. 

 As the old saying goes: “You pay for what you get”. 

There are some things you just don’t want to save money on. You probably don’t want to get heart surgery at a cheap clinic, or a $5 haircut to go to a high-fashion event.   

So, why would you pick the cheapest event rental service for an occasion as important as, for example, your wedding 

 Hiring the best doesn’t really come cheap. That doesn’t mean that the most expensive options are necessarily the best, but an alternative that’s significantly cheaper than the rest often comes with a downsize. Just make sure you know what that is before you commit 

 

Worst-Case Scenario Preparation
