FAQs

We specialize in vintage and custom pieces! This means a lot of our inventory that might have been available last week is now booked on your event date! If you have your heart set on certain pieces in our collection, please book as soon as possible to ensure availability! Our Sales team is here to coach you through the process. In the event your favorite piece is not available, we are happy to make suggestions on other pieces we know you will love! We recommend inquiring at least 6 months prior to your event date.

It’s simple! You can either pick the items you want on our website and submit a wishlist, reach out to us on our contact form, or email us directly!

We will respond within 48 business hours so we can learn more about your upcoming event, check on item availability, and create a proposal for you.

Please note, all items are rented on a first come, first serve basis. If you would like to reserve your items, you may secure your order with a 50% non-refundable deposit to book the items and secure your event date. You will pay the remaining 50% 14 days prior to your event date. That’s it! You sign and pay all online using our secure payment processing system and our sales team is available to answer any questions along the way!

To create a wishlist, add the pieces and quantities you are interested in into your cart for your event. Once you have added all of your favorites, click “Submit.” Within 48 business hours, we will check the availability of the items you requested and email you to let you know if your pieces are available with a proposal. Please note that because of the one of a kind nature of our pretties, many book up over a year in advance. Crazy, we know!

High Quantity rental items like our farm tables, dining chairs, and tabletop rentals may be reduced by up to 10%  up to 14 days before your event date. Any unique one-of-a-kind pieces, may be swapped out for an item of equal or greater value based on availability. Changes made within 14 days of your event date will be subject to a 20% rush fee.

Of course! We schedule warehouse visits by appointment only on Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Shoot us an email at info@somethingvintagerentals.com to make an appointment and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule! Please note, you must have a proposal started with us in order to schedule a warehouse visit with our sales team.

Our warehouse is located at 4828 Stamp Road, Temple Hills, MD 20748. When you see a fence of rainbow colored doors – you are in the right spot! We are open by appointment only.

We are happy to help pick out items that will go with your event and within your budget. For more in-depth styling and design services, please check out our Event Design Packages.

Yes! Our carpenters can build almost anything and we love going on scavenger hunts to find that must-have item for your event. Please email us at info@somethingvintagerentals.com to discuss your project.

We are based just outside of D.C. and deliver locally to Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia! Outside of our local market, you can find our trucks traveling up and down the East Coast from Massachusetts to North Carolina. Is your event somewhere further? We are always looking for a good excuse for a road trip (srsly – we went to Alabama last year!), so let us know where you are and we will see if we can help! *Extended rental minimums do apply.

We make delivery easy so you don’t have to worry on the day of your event! Our delivery service includes delivery, assembly, set-up, break-down, and pick up. Yes, we even set our own chairs!  Our crew will place each piece according to your specifications and make sure everything is FLAWLESS before leaving. Not to worry, you’re not being too much, our crews are used to our very particular standards so they know the drill and are happy to move things around until you are satisfied!

Our rentals are our babies and the delivery, installation & retrieval of them is so important to us! We get that what works for one person might not work for another. To help make sure you get the delivery service that’s right for your event, we’ve created four different options to accommodate a variety of needs. Each tier includes delivery, setup, breakdown, and pickup, but with slightly different twists! What exactly does that mean? The SVR Team will always be down to set your items in place and put together any items that require assembly — we’ve just created a few different categories at varying price points to accommodate everything from go with the flow to on the dot strict timing at particular venues. See the options below! 

Flexible Delivery

Our most economical option, Flexible Delivery is a great choice for events taking place at private residences and venues that do not have contractual load-in/load-out time windows. In the weeks leading up to your event, SVR will schedule your delivery and pickup based on what works best with our schedule. Basically, the ball is in our court! You can rest easy knowing that your order will be delivered and picked up within 2 days of your event, and we’ll reach out to confirm details and to provide you with a 3 hour window for both delivery and pickup the week of. This service requires a safe and secure place for all of our rentals to stay protected from the elements. *If outdoor, a tent with flooring and sidewalls is required. 

Standard Weekday Delivery

Our Standard Weekday Delivery is another great option for events taking place at private residences and venues that do not have contractual load-in/load-out time windows. A step up from our Flexible Option, any weekend events will be guaranteed delivery on Friday and pickup on Monday. (For weekday events, your order will be delivered the day of your event and picked up the following business day.) Orders will be delivered between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Specific delivery timing is not guaranteed, but you can always request the delivery/pickup windows that work best for you and we will do our best to accommodate! This service requires a safe and secure place for all of our rentals to stay protected from the elements. *If outdoor, a tent with flooring and sidewalls is required. 

Weekend Delivery

A step up from Standard, our Weekend Delivery option combines aspects of both our Standard and Same Day options. Consider it a combo! Maybe you need delivery on Saturday, but you’re flexible with pickup. Maybe you need us to deliver and pick up on Saturday or Sunday, but you’re cool with a three hour window. Whatever the case, Weekend Delivery is the best option for anyone with a little flexibility. Just let us know what you need and the SVR Team will make it happen!

Same Day Delivery 

Get what you want when you want it! If your venue requires load-in immediately before your event and load-out immediately after your event with contractually agreed upon windows, this is the one for you. The SVR Team will deliver and pickup at your requested times and will send additional staff to accommodate any narrow time frames. Like all of our other options, we will be in touch to confirm the timing the week of your event, but you can relax knowing you’re guaranteed the slot that works best for your timeline!

*Delivery fees are determined based on the size of the final order, delivery location, date and service category selected.

Yes! You can pick up small pieces and some furniture from our warehouse. We do require a $400 rental minimum for all pick-up orders. Unfortunately, all gold-framed upholstered furniture, rattan furniture, and any of our more delicate pieces are not available for pick-up. **All warehouse pick ups and returns are available only on Weekdays between 10 am and 2 pm. 

All furniture items such as tables, chairs, sofas, and backdrops must be picked up in a utility cargo van (with no seats) or a box truck. No SUVs, vans, or open pickup trucks will be accepted for pick-up. Furniture must be strapped down with ratchet straps to prevent it from falling over during transit and wrapped in moving blankets. Items must be returned wrapped and secured in the same way they were picked up. 

China, props, and small items can be picked-up in any vehicle.

The rental period for each item is 24-hours. Need it longer? We are happy to work with you and see if we can accommodate!
