How to Get Started
Important 2025 Update:
2025 has filled up really fast and many weekend dates are now filled to capacity. Please note: I am not able to take any additional new bookings for dates between now-May 31, 2025. (If you have non-expired rental proposal from me, than this does not apply to you). If you have a new event request between now and the end of May and need a referral to another vendor, please contact me and use the shortened ‘out of state’ form.
Many weekends this summer and fall are also now booked to capacity or nearing capacity. To see if your date is available, please add the items you would like to rent to a Wishlist and then go into the Wishlist and submit it to me with the details (pop form) about your event, so I can check the availability of your date and the items you are interested in renting. (See more information about the Wishlist below)
Once I know what you would like to rent, I look at the items & services that are already booked for that weekend and I determine if I can meet your request. If I am not able to help you personally, than I will provide you with a list of other vendors that you can check with.
I am currently also booking rentals for 2026.
I look forward to working with you!

Location & Pick-ups
I am located in Kalamazoo, Michigan, however, I often work with clients that have their events in other parts of Michigan, in Indiana, in Illinois or in Ohio. Items can be picked up a day or two before your event and returned a day or two after (for weekend events, returns are Monday or Tuesday). I am not able to ship items due to possible breakage, loss or delays.
If your venue is out of state and you are not able to pick up and return, let me know and I will send you a list of some rental vendors in your state or surrounding area that carry some similar inventory. (Visit the ‘Contact Kirsten’ page and click on the “Contact Kirsten for Out of State Referrals” button.)
To Get a Quote, please:
Create a Wishlist for your event with the items/quantities you are interested in. Then go into the Wishlist and hit the submit button. A pop-up form will appear to collect the information I need about your event. Fill this out and send it to me and I will check the availability of the items for your date and, if available, send you a rental agreement to review.
Please note: You can only add 500 pieces to your Wishlist. If you need to add more than 500 pieces to your Wishlist, please add just 1 of each of any place setting components you like (ex. 1 dinner plate, 1 goblet, 1 flatware set), but add actual quantities for any decor or serving pieces you are interest in renting. On the pop-up form it will ask your guest count so I will know how many place settings you actually need.
Example Wishlist for an event for 150 guests with decor: Place settings:
1 Ivory Dinner Plates
1 Ivory Salad Plate
1 Mismatched Pink Goblets
1 Brushed Gold 3-Piece Flatware Set
Other Items:
57 Votive Holders
57 Glass Bud Vases
70 Brass Candlestick Holders
19 Glass Water Pitchers
19 Eucalyptus Garland
19 Gold & Acrylic Table Numbers
Not sure what to rent?
After looking at my inventory, if you are just not sure which items you need or want for a Wishlist, there is also a basic contact form on the ‘Contact Kirsten’ page to start a conversation about your event.
