Q. Do I need to pay a deposit?
We only require a cash deposit when the goods are not being home delivered or paid for in cash. When picking up goods from our premises, a €100.00 cash or valid credit card deposit is required. 

Q. How long is the basic rental period?
Hire periods are for 48hours. Longer periods can be arranged.

Q. What are the delivery charges?
Delivery charges depend on the size of your order. For example, Party at home customers (only within counties Mayo, Galway, Sligo, Roscommon and Clare) ordering 1 keg will incur a €50.00 delivery charge. Where as a customer in Dublin ordering a full banquet bar installation with kegs and accessories can expect to pay around  €130.00. We also offer a collection facility whereas customers can pick up all their party supply at our store in Oranmore, Galway at no extra cost. See our Delivery page for more details.

Q.Why are the Party at Home delivery charges so much cheaper than the wedding or events delivery charges?
The party at home delivery charges are set anywhere between €25 and €50. These prices reflect the amount of work involved in setting up the event. For instance, delivering a single keg installation takes 1 driver, approximately 20 minutes to complete, and involves only a small area of van space. Whereas setting up a wedding bar for 150 guests takes 1 or 2 vans for delivery, with 2-3 drivers working for anything up to 1 full day.

Standard delivery / collection times are between 9am – 9pm, Monday – Friday.
Requested delivery or collection outside of these times are subject to additional charges.

Q. Can I collect the bar units from your shop?
Yes & No. Some of our smaller bar units will fit in the back of a large family saloon. Banquet bars and Steelite bars on the other hand are very large and bulky. Due to the size, weight and expense incurred in the manufacturing of our custom made bars, we can only allow for a trained member of staff to transport them.
