If you would like to arrange a quote, you can complete our online request form. Alternatively, you can call 1300 375 564 if we miss your call, please email us at enquiries@alexandcoevents.com.au with a list of the equipment you wish to hire. We will check the availability of the products and email you a quote.

Please include the your full name, dates, and location/venue name, times of delivery/pick up etc and any other information that you know of for the initial quote, other costs may be added in if the order changes.

Please use this checklist to ensure you have all your details handy.

Quotes for all hires and services are valid for 14 days, or 30 days for large orders, if you accept the quote please pay the deposit to secure your hire.

If you are still undecided after the quotation time has passed, whilst we cannot hold the equipment indefinitely, we do welcome you calling us when you have decided, and we will check availability.

We only hold the items for the duration of the quote, our products do book out quickly, so we encourage you to keep in contact with us if you are interested.

In our day to day trading we may be busy with a client or suppliers and vendors so therefore may not be able to answer your call at that time.

We prefer to correspond by email, so we have all the information on file and it also ensures information isn’t lost on the different platforms, like Facebook messaging and Instagram etc. It means you can send that email in the middle of the night, so you don’t forget your train of thought.

Obviously on the day of event texts and calls are very appropriate as you are our number 1 priority for the day. 

The prices shown on our website are based on our 1–4-day hire rate, generally day before drop-off and Monday after pick-up, unless venue requires same day in and out.

You can hire out our products for longer; we will simply increase the number of hires according to the length of the time required.

If you have hired chairs for a ceremony, you cannot take them in your vehicles to the reception. This a separate order and needs to be arranged at the time of quote as we may have booked the chairs out for another ceremony after yours. Additional fees are given for multiple deliveries. Ceremonies are generally a 3 hour hire only unless otherwise discussed and additional fee applied. This 3 hours includes set up and pack down. 

Our team at Alex and Co will deliver and collect your hired equipment, plus we can set up and pack down if required.

These fees are additional to the total of the equipment hire costs. We take into consideration these points:

• Types of equipment and quantities on the order,
• Delivery location and ease of access to the venue, grounds.
• Amount of staff required
• Time required to get in & out – the venue may only give a small-time window either side of event to set up and pack down, a smaller window requires more staff to achieve fast but safe results. Inside venues may allow day before setup and day after collection or Monday collection.
• Outside events/Ceremonies would be delivered to, set up and packed down on the day, unless on a secure private residence/ venue. Ceremonies are usually for a 3-hour hire. We know you will only be sitting on them for 1/2hour, but our hire includes delivery, set up, the ceremony, waiting for the guests to leave the area and pack down. 
• Access the previous day for light rigging is included in the light hirer price. If on the day rigging is required more staff may be needed, there may also be a small extra charge depending on level of difficulty, or if poles are needed.
• After hours collection times – after the event i.e. midnight pack down ensures a higher rate for our staff to be paid, as do Sundays and public holidays.

Dates and times of the event. Weekend and Public holidays are slightly higher.

We have a minimum Bond charge of $100 per order. Increases in Bond cost is directly determined on the total cost of equipment hired, the location and security of the venue. The bond charge is paid with the final payment and is not part of the initial deposit. The Bond charge is refundable on the condition that all hired equipment are returned in good condition as they were delivered.

If you loose or break equipment, please let us know and return all broken equipment or they will be considered missing/stolen. Please do not replace broken products with a similar item, it will still be considered missing/stolen.
