- When to Book
-
When to Book
Right Now
Book now to secure nationwide availability (excluding these states). Once an order is placed, our system takes those rentals out of inventory (meaning it goes out of stock). This is why we encourage interested clients to place orders immediately.
Last Minute Orders
If booked 15 days or less from your date, there might not be enough time to ship rentals to your state. Even worse, is not having any options & paying $100s – $1,000s extra for 2-day shipping. Avoid shipping fees by ordering today.
If You Wait
Typically orders are placed 8-12 months before an event. Orders over $94 have free ground shipping. All it takes is a large order placed anywhere in America to put rentals out of stock. We’ve seen this happen numerous times, don’t delay. #book

- Linear Feet in the Drapery Drop-Down
-
Linear Feet in the Drapery Drop-Down
Linear feet are the distance in length against a wall. For example, if your wall is 30 ft long from left to right, you need a 30 ft long backdrop (30 linear feet of draping). Linear feet have nothing to do with the height of a draping setup. ShipOur.Wedding™ drapery rentals adjust from a 4 ft to a 10 ft tall height.
- Rounding Up Linear Feet:
- Wall length: 26 ft → Round up to the nearest 10.
- Reserve 30 linear feet, adjustable down if needed.
- Crossbars adjust 7 ft – 10 ft long.
- Example: 30 ft section with (3) crossbars → Minimum 21 linear feet.
.
- Calculate Entire Room Linear Feet:
- Room: 40 ft long, 60 ft wide.
- Add the total distance of all (4) walls.
- Calculation: 40 + 60 + 40 + 60 = 200 linear feet.
.
- How to Measure Linear Feet:
- Consult the venue for precise measurements.
- Tape measure for accurate dimensions.
- Venue diagrams are helpful for room dimensions.
- Read diagrams: One dash ‘ for feet, two dashes ” for inches. #linear

- Renting (2) Cloud Machines
-
Renting (2) Cloud Machines
This depends on your venue & ideal conditions. Only use a cloud machine for indoor events. The reason why is that you can better control the climate (wind, temperature). These (2) factors help determine ideal conditions. Ideal conditions are an enclosed room with 72 degrees or less. An ice cream cone in the sun melts faster as a cloud will be less visible in a hot room.
.
Also under ideal conditions, the venue should not be too large or have too much ventilation to dissipate your cloud effect. It would be harder to cover a large space especially if your event space has an air filtration system installed.Make sure your venue AC is turned on during your event
Some venues may keep the AC off to reduce utility expenses. They might deem the outside temperature is not hot enough to justify turning on the AC. Discuss with your venue contact before your event so you have the ideal conditions in your event space.
Even if you were to hire a local vendor to set up this effect for you, they would still have to work under these same conditions. Using (2) machines is not common. 90% of the time renting one machine should give enough coverage. The cloud effect is dependent on many factors that are beyond our control. This is solely based on your expectations, budget & venue conditions. #cloud

- When to Book
-
When to Book
Right Now
Book now to secure nationwide availability (excluding these states). Once an order is placed, our system takes those rentals out of inventory (meaning it goes out of stock). This is why we encourage interested clients to place orders immediately.
Last Minute Orders
If booked 15 days or less from your date, there might not be enough time to ship rentals to your state. Even worse, is not having any options & paying $100s – $1,000s extra for 2-day shipping. Avoid shipping fees by ordering today.
If You Wait
Typically orders are placed 8-12 months before an event. Orders over $94 have free ground shipping. All it takes is a large order placed anywhere in America to put rentals out of stock. We’ve seen this happen numerous times, don’t delay. #book

- Linear Feet in the Drapery Drop-Down
-
Linear Feet in the Drapery Drop-Down
Linear feet are the distance in length against a wall. For example, if your wall is 30 ft long from left to right, you need a 30 ft long backdrop (30 linear feet of draping). Linear feet have nothing to do with the height of a draping setup. ShipOur.Wedding™ drapery rentals adjust from a 4 ft to a 10 ft tall height.
- Rounding Up Linear Feet:
- Wall length: 26 ft → Round up to the nearest 10.
- Reserve 30 linear feet, adjustable down if needed.
- Crossbars adjust 7 ft – 10 ft long.
- Example: 30 ft section with (3) crossbars → Minimum 21 linear feet.
.
- Calculate Entire Room Linear Feet:
- Room: 40 ft long, 60 ft wide.
- Add the total distance of all (4) walls.
- Calculation: 40 + 60 + 40 + 60 = 200 linear feet.
.
- How to Measure Linear Feet:
- Consult the venue for precise measurements.
- Tape measure for accurate dimensions.
- Venue diagrams are helpful for room dimensions.
- Read diagrams: One dash ‘ for feet, two dashes ” for inches. #linear

- Renting (2) Cloud Machines
-
Renting (2) Cloud Machines
This depends on your venue & ideal conditions. Only use a cloud machine for indoor events. The reason why is that you can better control the climate (wind, temperature). These (2) factors help determine ideal conditions. Ideal conditions are an enclosed room with 72 degrees or less. An ice cream cone in the sun melts faster as a cloud will be less visible in a hot room.
.
Also under ideal conditions, the venue should not be too large or have too much ventilation to dissipate your cloud effect. It would be harder to cover a large space especially if your event space has an air filtration system installed.Make sure your venue AC is turned on during your event
Some venues may keep the AC off to reduce utility expenses. They might deem the outside temperature is not hot enough to justify turning on the AC. Discuss with your venue contact before your event so you have the ideal conditions in your event space.
Even if you were to hire a local vendor to set up this effect for you, they would still have to work under these same conditions. Using (2) machines is not common. 90% of the time renting one machine should give enough coverage. The cloud effect is dependent on many factors that are beyond our control. This is solely based on your expectations, budget & venue conditions. #cloud
