But once you\u2019ve made your selection, here are five tips to help you get the best vendor experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Communication is Key<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to make your rental experience as smooth as possible, communication with <strong>all <\/strong>vendors is essential. Typically, most rental items are delivered before any of the other vendors arrive. Rental vendors typically set up tables, chairs, and dance floor accordingly to the agreed on floor plan. The rest of the items (dishes, glassware, linens) are left behind for another vendor (caterer, wedding planner) to take over. If you\u2019ve changed your mind in the last 24 hours and now have a different floor plan or need 20 more place settings you need to contact your vendor ASAP. If your original order has already been delivered you should expect an additional delivery charge for the new items.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12318\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12318\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12318\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517.jpg\" alt=\"wedding vendor\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517-500x334.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12318\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517.jpg\" alt=\"wedding vendor\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/medium_206523517-500x334.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theeerin\/206523517\/\">TheeErin<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> cc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Know What You\u2019re Responsible For<\/h3>\n<p>Though your wedding is a hectic day for all, it is your responsibility to make sure the people in charge know what is expected of them when it comes to the set-up, take-down and care of rental items. If your coordinator puts candles directly on the linens, you are on the hook for paying for any damage to them. \u00a0The same applies to broken dishes and glassware.<\/p>\n<p>One of our biggest nightmares for rental vendors is arriving for pickup and there is food, flowers and trash rolled up with the linens. Flowers and other items that are dyed can permanently stain linens.\u00a0 Let your tear-down crew (planner, family, caterer) know they should shake out all linens before putting them in designated bins or laundry bags.<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t Forget to \u201cRack Up\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s usually stipulated in the rental contract that at a minimum the glasses, dishware and linens must be assembled for pickup. It will take a few extra minutes for your team to collect the items at the end of the night, but it\u2019s worth it especially if glasses have wandered off or been broken; you won\u2019t be surprised when you\u2019re billed for these items.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12319\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12319\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12319\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638.jpg\" alt=\"wedding vendor tips\" width=\"680\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638-500x232.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638-672x311.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12319\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638.jpg\" alt=\"wedding vendor tips\" width=\"680\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638-500x232.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/large_7399829638-672x311.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/wedding-in-italy\/7399829638\/\">initalywedding<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/2.0\/\">cc<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Give Good Directions<\/h3>\n<p>Most vendors do their homework to ensure they have accurate directions, but what we won\u2019t know, unless you tell us, are any \u201cunusual\u201d factors to be aware of that might affect us, such as a driveway with hairpin turns or major road construction on one of your streets.

Unfortunately, unforeseen situations arise. Most vendors will do what they can to fix the problem, but every once and awhile something can&#8217;t be fixed.
