Special Services & Add-On Support

At Classic Party Rentals, we know events rarely go exactly by the book. That’s why we offer a range of flexible services to help meet your unique needs. From tight delivery/pickup timeframes to last-minute changes, our team is here to support you.

These services are offered on a limited, first-come, first-served basis and are designed to help when you need more time, flexibility, or hands-on assistance. We will always do our best to honor last-minute requests, but availability depends on our existing event schedule. The earlier you reach out, the more we can do for you! Please note that these fees are in addition to standard round-trip labor and delivery charges and will be listed as a separate line item on your order confirmation.
