Anything missing will be taken from the damage deposit.
Venues: Should we be required to dress an event out of hours (8am – 5pm) or on a bank holiday there may be additional charge for this, please contact us for more information.
We are unable to un-stack or put out chairs at your venue. This is something you need to arrange with the venue before our arrival. If there is an issue and we do need to put chairs out, there is an additional charge of 50p per chair. This payment will be taken directly from your security deposit and a receipt will be sent.
It is your responsibility to arrange with your venue to have the correct amount of chairs available for us to dress. We will only cover the chairs that have been put out for us, if this is less than you have booked through us we will leave the remainder covers/sashes with the venue). We are unable to leave
any spare covers/sashes. Should you require more please notify us 24 hours prior to delivery and if in stock these will be delivered and the cost deducted from your damage deposit.
If your event includes a ceremony remember to check with your venue if they supply the extra chairs for registrars and dont forget to include yourselves! You would be suprised how many people forget! Many venues will have four chairs at the front and you will need to order covers and sashes for these.
We always suggest that you let your venue know the final quantity of chairs you require for them to prepare the room with. Occasionally venues ask us to cover extra chairs that haven’t been paid for; if this is the case (and we have enough with us) we will take this from the holding details on file.
Hire Charges – Period of Hire: The hire charge for the products commences from the time that we dress the venue, items are delivered to you or collected from us, and continues until the equipment is collected by us or returned to our premises. The company will require a 50% booking fee to secure your booking, cheques made payable to ‘Hire Your Day’.
Payment: The full balance is due 6 weeks prior to your event date. You will receive a reminder 7 weeks before and then at 6 weeks you will receive another. If for any reason you don’t receive an invoice please contact us as soon as possible. If payment is not received at this time, we will assume our services are no longer required and will automatically cancel the order. Cancellation fees apply see Cancellation Clause. Once the invoice has been paid we cannot issue refunds on any items that are no longer required but can exchange items subject to stock.

Adverse Weather Conditions: We cannot accept responsibility for any of our items that are used outside should they be damaged, soiled or affected by weather conditions after we have left them – Examples are; Hay Bales (You may be charged at replacement cost in the event the Hay Bales cannot be reused), Garden Games (if soiled and cleaning is not successful you be charged for a replacement). In the event of adverse conditions, it is Hire Your Day’s sole discretion on all outside decor to provide the hired items due to potential damage and safety.
Cancellation Due to Adverse Weather: In adverse weather conditions such as Snow & Ice, it is Hire Your Day’s decision not to deliver/setup hired goods to the venue if it jeopardises the safety of our staff. Hire Your Day will endeavor to get the hired goods to the venue and exhaust every option that is available before cancellation of the booking. It is the responsibility of the hirer to make sure the hired goods are insured for such incidences. As a gesture of good will, we would be happy to move the event up to 6 months subject to availability.
Hay Bales: If you are hiring hay bales from us, you must be aware that these are extremely flammable and you should make all guests aware that smoking or naked flames are not permitted close to them. It is your responsibility as the hirer to ensure that all fire and health and safety precautions are in place. We cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury caused by fire or misuse of the bales.
If hay bales are being delivered by us or our couriers, they will be delivered and collected from an agreed area. If delivered by a courier they will be delivered on a pallet. You must ensure that the pallet is kept for the return delivery. It is your responsibility to ensure that the persons accepting the delivery are aware of this and make this clear to the delivery driver.
Unless paid for in advance we will not set-up and lay out the hay bales. If this needs to be done when we arrive at your venue there is an hourly charge of £25 per hour with a minimum of 1 hour set-up. This also applies when collecting the hay bales, this fee will be deducted from your damages deposit.
If they need to be collated and it takes our driver more than 30 minutes to load you will be charged as per the set-up costs above. They must be in one area with easy access to a door and close parking for a large vehicle.
When hiring hay bales from us, they must be kept dry. If they are being used outside and it is raining they must be moved undercover. If your event is in the evening, the bales must be moved under cover at the end of the night to prevent water and wild animal damage. When moving hay bales please ensure they are lifted by the white string on the top. Do not attempt to lift by the special netting as they will become damaged and you will be charged for the damage.
Any damaged bales or covers will be charged for at a replacement cost at the time of hiring, which includes the cost of them being covered with our special netting. We strongly suggest that if you have not paid for a set-up cost that you make one person responsible for this at your event.
Termination of Liability: The Company shall be relieved of all liability for obligations incurred to the Hirer and any other third party.
Law This contract shall be governed by English Law in the Courts of England.
