How much would you expect to pay for this?

A full rig can cost anything upwards of £500 depending on location, venue size, degree of sumptuousness(!) required and number of guests.

You can usually rent individual props or groups of props for as little as £35 (plus delivery) per night. Your suppler should arrange delivery and collection afterwards - one more way they can help take the strain!

Will your special occasion benefit from the KayDeeElle themed event ideas generator? Of course it will!
