Rental Calculator

Okay... so this is going to seem like a plug but it's really not meant to be.

I'm often asked to calculate the cost of rentals that a couple will need for their wedding; here's a little tip to help you determine how much you should budget for your rental needs. To start off, your wedding venue is going to be a big factor in determining what you need. First, look at what the venue has for your use. Does it have tables? chairs? linen? dishes and flatware? Does it have a podium? a mic? etc. etc.

If you're trying to save money do your best to make use of the items that come with the space. Once you know what you do have it's time start figuring out what you'll have to rent. When it comes to figuring out the cost for everything I often go to the Cody Party Centre website (see... that's where the "plug" comes in). Now, I don't necessarily always use Cody for rentals but the prices they have posted are comparable to other rental companies (although you can get some items for less if you shop around a bit).

The reason I automatically go to the Cody website is because they have a great calculator that you can use to tally up your costs quickly. Simply enter in the units you'll need for each item and click "Add to Rental Cart" at the bottom. Regardless of whether or not you're placing your order with Cody you have a quick tabulation that you can plug into your budget as a guideline.

To calculate your rental items click here to navigate to the Cody Party Centre website. Then click on Party Rentals or Linen Rentals on the left-hand side of the screen.

Cheers!
