- It is the responsibility of the client to get any required permissions from the venue for doing any hooks, hanging lights, drapes etc. Sparkling Events NZ takes no responsibility of communicating with the venue before and after the event. We will only be taking the words of our client and they need to be getting the permission from the venue.
- We try to keep the stock maintained but as these items are hired and reused over and over
again, client needs to be aware that hired items aren’t brand new so minor wear and tear is there but if you have any specific needs, please inform beforehand. - We reserve the right to take photographs and videos of our event setups for marketing and promotional purposes.
