FAQs

Need a little help? Reach out anytime—we’re happy to assist!

What sizes are your tables available in?

Our standard farmhouse, trestle, and kids tables measure 8 feet long by 40 inches wide. We also offer a farmhouse sweetheart table that measures 5'6" long by 40 inches wide.

How many tables do I need?  

We can help with this based on how many are attending and your needs.  We simply take your total guest count, then divide guests by table seating capacity, rounding up slightly to ensure comfort and extra space is a best practice.  Our standard 8 foot long farmhouse/trestle tables seat 8 guest each on sides only such as putting them in rows end to end.  Or 10 guests each if tables are separated and end seating is used as well.   

How much space should I allow between tables when planning my layout?

​Here are general spacing guidelines to help plan your space:​​

  • Minimum (Tight): 36 inches
    Allows limited movement and chair pull-out, but may feel cramped.

  • Standard (Comfortable): 48 inches
    Provides comfortable seating access and easy guest movement.

  • Aisles / High-Traffic Areas: 60+ inches
    Recommended for server traffic, food service, and smooth flow throughout the space.

Can I see the rentals in person?

​​We are more than happy to accommodate your request to preview our rentals.  Please contact us and we will set up a time for you to meet with us in Carlinville IL.

Can I add or remove items once RSVPs come in?

Absolutely! This is a very common question when events are booked well in advance. You are welcome to add available items at any time.  If you choose to remove any item, please note that the 50% retainer is non-refundable for us holding them, but your final balance—due two weeks prior to delivery—will be updated to reflect the remaining items.

When will you deliver and pick up the rentals?

​​We will work with you on a delivery and pick up date that will work with your schedule as close as possible.  We typically are able to deliver at least the day or two before your event and pick up the following day or two after as long as long as items remain protected and secure.  For events that are in public places or not as secure, such as a ceremony in a park, we deliver and set up in ample time before and pick up at an appropriate time after.

Can we pick up the rentals ourselves?

Sorry, no self -pickup at this time.  Our rentals are specialty pieces that require unique assembly and delicate handling for travel to avoid costly damage.   

What area do you deliver your furniture to?

We deliver throughout Central & Southern Illinois within 2 hours from our location of Carlinville, IL in Macoupin County.  Beyond service area delivery may be available "Illinois only".  Contact us today to check availability.

Do you deliver outside of Illinois, such as Missouri?

Sorry, we no longer deliver outside of Illinois due to logistics and scheduling. This allows us to keep deliveries consistent and provide the best service to our clients.

Do you charge the same rate for single and multiday events?

All rental/event charges are assessed as a per event/day rate at Country Event Rental LLC’s discretion.  For events with attendees lasting over a day (such as a weekend festival), a discounted multi day rental rate may apply based on specific event details. 

Can I get a refund for items we end up not using during our event?

Rental items are charged for the time out on reservation, not for use.  No refunds will be given for items not used during your event.

How do I reserve items for my event?

Rental furniture is reserved on a first-come, first served-basis, subject to product availability.  Once you have a date in mind, reserve your rental items by submitting our Estimate Request form on the Contact Us page.  We will verify availability and answer any questions you may have and send an estimate.  Once we have your approval, we will e-mail our Rental Agreement for you to check over, sign and return along with your 50% deposit to reserve your items.  

Do you have a minimum order?

Yes, our minimum order is $200.00 in our service area not including delivery/pickup/set-up charges.  Our service area is based on the distance of 2 hours of our location of Carlinville, IL in Macoupin County.  Beyond service area delivery "Illinois only" may be available.  Contact us today to check availability.

​

Standard Delivery vs Non-Standard Delivery

​

Standard Delivery 

We deliver using pickup trucks and enclosed trailers and move our products to setup areas with rolling carts. Standard delivery assumes truck or trailer access on solid ground (dirt, rock, or pavement), clear of obstacles such as overhead limbs, and within 100 feet of the setup location. The setup area must be ground-level with unobstructed rolling cart access (no stairs). Please let us know in advance if these conditions are not met so we can provide an accurate estimate and avoid delays during delivery and setup.

​

Non-Standard Delivery

Conditions that may affect access include, but are not limited to, soft ground, mud, sand, water, hills, ditches, stairs or steps, tight spaces, hallways, doors, elevators, or other unusual obstacles. Any condition that restricts access for our delivery vehicles or rolling carts may require additional labor or resources and must be quoted in advance. With prior notification, we can prepare accordingly to avoid delays. If restrictions are discovered upon arrival, service may be delayed and additional on-site fees will apply before setup can proceed.

​​​

​​

Rental Item Relocation 

If rental items need to be moved from the original setup location, please notify Country Event Rentals, LLC immediately to obtain authorization or make proper arrangements. Our furniture requires special care and handling by trained staff for breakdown, transport, storage, and reassembly to prevent damage. Unauthorized relocation may result in additional fees or damage charges.

​​​

Weather-Related Issues / Setup Restrictions

Country Event Rentals, LLC does not issue refunds beyond the policies outlined in Cancellations / Rescheduling. Clients assume all risks associated with weather conditions that may impact an event and are responsible for having alternative plans if inclement weather arises. Country Event Rentals, LLC is not responsible for revising event locations or designs due to weather. If an alternate delivery or setup location is needed, please contact us immediately so we can plan accordingly. Additional charges may apply.

For outdoor, uncovered, or unsecured event locations, rental items must be picked up at the arranged time immediately following the event to ensure protection from theft, vandalism, or weather damage. Delivery and pickup may be delayed or adjusted during severe weather (e.g., storms, high winds, hail, flooding, or excessively wet/muddy ground) to prevent property damage.

Country Event Rentals, LLC reserves the right to decline setup in areas that are unsafe, unstable, or prone to flooding or excessive mud. For outdoor events, we strongly recommend having a backup indoor location in case of severe weather.

​

Pick-Up Availability

All rental items must be accessible for pick-up on the pre-arranged date and time. A minimum two-hour window is required for Country Event Rentals, LLC staff to collect and load all items.

If items are not accessible at the scheduled pick-up date and time, the client will be charged additional rental fees for extended wait and/or return time beyond what was agreed upon.

If, for any reason, items remain inaccessible for pick-up after two days, the rentals will be considered stolen and reported to local authorities. Country Event Rentals, LLC will take all necessary steps to recover the equipment, including pursuing cumulative rental fees, full replacement cost of all items, and any loss of business resulting from missing items.
