Inventory Viewing
In order to provide the best service possible, all of our inventory viewings are by appointment only right now and are schedule for 1 hour. As our staff is limited, we ask that you have your date and venue booked prior to this 1 hour meeting. So that we can be sure to give you our full attention, we ask that you limit your party to 4 adults. We love children, however our warehouse is full of so many bright, shiny and fragile items, so please leave the little ones at home for this trip.
We understand there may be a need for additional table mock-ups and design consultations which may include other wedding professionals (which we LOVE to do!). Each “extra” consult will be charged at $85/hour.
I love Echos of Yesterday style!! Can I hand my entire event over to you?
Absolutely!! In fact this is our dream job. We offer comprehensive professional event design; extraordinary furniture and tabletop; floral design, and professional day-of styling services. Please see our Services page for more details… we look forward to making your event amazing!
What if I don’t see what I am looking for?
We are always on the lookout for new goodies and are happy to look for specifics for you! If you’re looking for something we don’t have, but would love to have it in our inventory… just let us know! Chances are we’ll find just what you were looking for but we will need ample time to search. I also have a very talented husband that can make almost anything with ample time notice.
Am I responsible for items that are stolen or damaged at my event?
We understand things happen and sometimes something gets broke but we do require a credit card and Driver’s License on file for all orders upon the time of reservation. For any tabletop item that is not returned, or are returned chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged, we charge five times the rental rate in order to replace the item. For any furniture, architectural pieces, decor, or other large items that are not returned or are returned damaged, we charge up to twenty times the rental rate in order to replace the item. If an item is able to be cleaned or repaired, you will only be charged for the cleaning or repair of the item and any time the item is out of our inventory.
Can I come see everything in person?
Absolutely! Please be sure to contact us as we are available by appointment only.
If we don't want delivery, can we pick the items up?
Yes, if you have the proper transportation for your items. We require all items to be hauled inside a vehicle or enclosed trailer. All items must be packed in the same boxes when returned. We will supply “moving blankets” and ratchet straps to make the move easier.
How long is the "rental" period?
We’ve priced each piece individually, allowing you to mix and match furniture, seating and tabletop decor. Our rates are assessed per event, which we consider to be a maximum of 72 hours. This allows for a day of pick-up/delivery and set up, day of event, and then take down and return. Typically it is a Friday pick-up and a Sunday/Monday return.
If you know you will need it longer then the 72 hours, please let us know as soon as possible. We do have “longer term” rates available. If not scheduled before hand, there will be an additional late fee for each day.
Do you offer custom signage, such as chalkboard rental and writing?
Yes! We have TONS of different chalkboards, windows, mirrors, etc. And we work with an AMAZING artist for our custom signs! There is a fee for your design, but TOTALLY worth it!
Do you rent things by the hour?
We rent things by the day or longer.
I have some cool vintage stuff for sale. Are you interested in buying?
Always! Please email your photos and price list to echosofyesterday@hotmail.com
What exactly is "Styling"?
You know all of those photo shoots you see on wedding blogs and magazines that are absolutely stunning? Those are put together and made picture perfect by stylists. Styling is the suggestion of pieces, set up, putting together, and making everything look pretty and in place for your wedding, event, or photo shoot. It’s having the eye and knowing that certain pieces will look great together, and knowing exactly where every last detail needs to be placed. You already have an idea of some the pieces you want to use, or the overall look that you’d like to achieve, and you’re looking to put your trust in a professional who can suggest all of the pieces to make that happen. We’ll be the ones to put it all together for you so your entire event is as perfect as those events you see in magazines.
How does this all work?
Once you’ve chosen a date and booked a venue – then contact us. Your venue is a big factor in figuring out what vintage items will be right for you and of course the date is important so we can make sure your favorite one-of-a kind pieces are available.
I am planning a photo shoot which I plan to have published. Do you ever collaborate on or offer a discount?
Yes we do. We’d love to hear about your project. Please email us with more information and we will get right back to you.
