Our Process

Before contacting us, explore our website so you can look over our inventory as well as diagrams for tent rentals. It is best to know the date and location of your event prior to contacting us.

We can’t wait to hear your ideas you envision for your event! Contact an Event Specialist to discuss the event in detail over the phone or schedule an appointment to come into the showroom. We will talk through all the important details of your event to make sure nothing gets overlooked and we will make suggestions to ensure your event is exactly the way you imagine it.

*Helpful Tip: Use our ‘Prepare for Your Appointment with An Event Specialist’ document our team has created to help during the planning process.

After an Event Specialist receives all the information needed regarding your rental requests, our team will get started on creating a quote. The quote will include everything discussed and will be itemized. We are happy to make adjustments to the quote once you review it.

  • Quotes do not reserve the rental item(s) and do not guarantee inventory.

At this time, we are happy to do a layout design through our CAD program. There is a nonrefundable fee of $75 per design. The fee must be paid prior to creating the layout and includes two revisions.

In order for the rental to be reserved, we need the following items:

  • Signed Quote
    • Please make sure ALL the information is correct, including the delivery address.
  • Temporary Structures Addendum (tent rental only)
  • Credit Card Form
    • We require a credit card form to be on file regardless of the payment method you choose.
  • 25% nonrefundable deposit or balance must be paid in full if it is within 30 days of the event

We understand things may change during the planning process; such as, table and chair quantities. If you need to make any changes, please reach out to us. We will email a revised Order Confirmation for you to review, approve and sign each time there is a change made.

Important Notice: Please make sure the delivery address listed on the Quote/Order Confirmation is correct

  • Full balance is due 30 days prior to the event date.
  • If you cancel or reduce any item(s) within 30 days of your event, you will not receive a refund.
  • Commercial Tent Rentals: A tent permit or tent notification may be required based on the city, township, zip code or rental duration. Hoosier Tent & Party Rental will handle the permit and/or tent notification if one is required. There will be an additional fee for these services paid for by the customer. 
  • Final order for linens is due.
  • Reserved Tent Rental: Map for tent placement is required to be on file with Hoosier Tent & Party Rental.
  • Final add-ons must be reserved prior to the trucks being loaded, which is typically the Monday prior to the event date.
  • Hoosier Tent & Party Rental contacts 811 to have utilities marked. The customer is responsible for marking septic, irrigation system and any lines past the meter.
