Do rental prices include delivery and setup?

No. The prices shown are the rental for one event day: the partner's rate plus our 10% fee. Delivery and pickup, setup, a damage waiver and sales tax are itemized on your free quote before you pay anything.

How can I save on linens rentals?

Use specialty fabric only for the head and cake tables. Choose runners on farm tables instead of full cloths. Ask for the venue's house linens. Combining categories on one order also saves, because one delivery covers everything.
