CONSULTATION
All clients must have an event date and venue booked prior to booking a one-on-one consultation. Site visits and venue walk-throughs are available with your rental order. Complimentary in-studio design consultations are available.

All reservations require a 50% non-refundable deposit upon reserving the items, along with a signed agreement, signed invoice, and credit card on file. We accept payment by cash, check, Visa, Amex & MasterCard. Please note: a quote or proposal is not guaranteed until payment is received.
DELIVERY
The delivery service includes the time and labor involved in packing the truck prior to the event, driving to the venue, delivering all items on order, setting up all large items according to the floor plan, driving back to the showroom, returning to the venue to pick up items following the event, driving back to the showroom, and time and labor to unload truck and place items back into our warehouse showroom. Our delivery services ensure that all large items (tables, chairs, furniture) are set in place according to a floor plan or direction provided. It does NOT include styling of small rentals such as tabletop items or other decors. Styling services must be reserved separately. Delivery services generally begin at $295 each way, within regularly serviced areas in Northern Virginia, rates for the DC area begin at $395 and are based on distance traveled, size of the order, the labor involved, times requested for delivery/pickup, and venue restrictions.
OUTDOOR USE
We love our rentals being used outdoors. However, we must have a plan in case of rain. The backup rain plan is because we do not EVER want to have to charge our clients for rain or water damage to our vintage rentals. A backup rain plan must be established prior to the date of the event, and a rain call must be made prior to LBL rentals & Designers’ scheduled arrival. Rentals may never be left outside overnight.
DAMAGES
The Client assumes all responsibility for any damages that occur to rental items at their event and agrees to pay the pre-established replacement value in order to replace the damaged item. If a spill of any kind can be professionally cleaned, the client will only be charged the professional cleaning fee. Damages include, but are not limited to cigarette or cigar smell, spills, water damage, chips, cracks, and tears. La Bella Luce will send an invoice for any damage, cleaning, or repair fees within seven business days of the event. The client has the option to submit the balance of the invoice via the accepted method of choice. The credit card on file will be billed if no alternate method of payment is chosen.
STYLED SHOOTS & WEDDING SHOWS
We love participating in styled shoots & wedding shows. Due to the high demand for both, we do require a minimum fee.

WHAT EXACTLY IS STYLING?
You know all of those photoshoots 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 of 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 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.
