Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions
You have a question, we have an answer!

1 What are the advantages of renting equipment?
There are many, but the most common are the cost and convenience related reasons. We deliver and pickup all equipment, which means you don’t have to store it for any length of time. Also, equipment is available in any quantity. You don’t have to rent a preset number of items. So renting becomes much more cost effective. Another advantage is that the event can be held at whatever location you choose, instead of at a high-priced hall, or other venue.

2 Can your company help me organize other facets of my event?
Yes. Our party and event coordinators offer complete event planning. We can recommend caterers for just about any menu, florists for centerpieces, limousine services, lighting specialists, prop companies, and even event locations.

3 Do I need to launder the rental table linens?
No. All linens are provided on hangers, ready for use. Simply remove the plastic and drape them over the tables.

4 If I rent a tent or canopy, how will my guests stay comfortable in the cold night air?
We offer vinyl sidewalls on all tents and canopies (clear, white, window wall), and you can install outdoor heaters and lighting to ensure a comfortable evening outdoors.

5 How many guests can be seated at your tables?
We offer both round and banquet size tables to accommodate any number of guests. Round tables seat two, four, six, eight, ten, or twelve guests per table. Banquet tables can seat six, eight or ten guests per table, and can be combined to seat additional guests.

6 I’m planning a corporate health fair. Can you help?
Yes. We offer both indoor and outdoor booths. Trade Show booths are typically used for indoor events such as health fairs, career/job fairs, seminars, etc. Outdoor booths consist of canopy booths, and can be installed at parking lots, on grassy areas, or at practically any venue. Booths also include tables for display, and chairs for exhibitors.

7 Do you have any suggestions that could help with raising funds at our church or school?
Yes. Many churches and schools use their volunteer base to sell concession goods at fund raising events. We offer concession equipment in the form of cotton candy machines, popcorn machines, snow-cone machines, hot dog machines, nacho machines, and balloons. All of these items and more can help raise funds at your church or school.

8 We are scheduling a “walk-a-thon“ to raise money for a good cause. What type of equipment would you recommend?
Most events such as yours have event sponsors and vendors selling goods or food. Festival booths can be installed at the site and sold to each vendor. Booths can also be used for water stations along the walk, judging, VIP’s, registration, first aid, script sales, etc.

9 I understand permits are required for these large festivals. How do I secure them?
Like all good contractors, Dolphin Party Rentals will work with the nearest jurisdiction requiring permits. Typically, fire departments, or zoning and building/safety departments issue permits. All tents and canopies used for festivals require permits.

10 What areas do you serve and how is my rental equipment delivered?
Deliveries are available for all areas of Southern California, and are based on the size and scope of the event. Our trucks service all the Western States. Equipment is delivered “table ready.” By that we mean all china, flatware, glassware, napkins and linen is wrapped and packed so the client can set up tables as soon as the equipment arrives. Chairs, tables, canopies, umbrellas, etc. are placed at the site, per client instructions.
