About Wood-n-Crate

What is Wood-n-Crate Event Rentals and where are you located?

Wood-n-Crate Event Rentals is a family-owned wedding and event rental company based in Apache Junction, Arizona, serving the entire Phoenix Metro area. We design, build, and rent handcrafted wood furniture and specialty decor pieces — including farm tables, ceremony arches, dance floors, bistro lighting, and unique party pieces you won’t find anywhere else. Our warehouse and showroom is located at 565 34th Ave #4, Apache Junction, AZ 85119.

What areas of Arizona do you serve?

Our standard delivery area covers the entire Phoenix Metro, including Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Queen Creek, Apache Junction, and Peoria. Between June and September we also deliver to destinations outside the Valley — including Tucson, Sedona, Flagstaff, and Pinetop — with a Long-Distance Delivery Fee. Contact us early if your venue is outside the Phoenix Metro and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

What types of events do you serve?

We serve weddings, quinceaneras, corporate events, birthday parties, graduation parties, baby showers, bridal showers, family reunions, church functions, and holiday parties. Our inventory works for backyard events, state parks, wedding venues, and indoor spaces alike.

What makes Wood-n-Crate different from other Arizona rental companies?

Almost everything in our inventory is custom-built by our team — you won’t find our pieces at a big-box rental warehouse. Brad handles carpentry, welding, and fabrication, while Carole designs and curates the collection. That means our farm tables, arches, and specialty pieces like our S’mores Cart, Beverage Bar, and Ice Cream Stand are one-of-a-kind to the Phoenix Valley. We also include delivery, setup, and teardown with every order, so you can focus on your event — not the logistics.

Inventory & What We Offer

What rental items does Wood-n-Crate carry?

Our inventory includes farm tables and benches, cross-back chairs, dance floors, ceremony arches, floral and greenery backdrops, bistro string lighting, a Beverage Bar, S’mores Cart, Ice Cream Stand, lounge furniture, yard games, signage, patio heaters, and miscellaneous decor. Browse our full inventory at woodncratedesigns.com/inventory or download our pricing list for a complete item-by-item breakdown.

Do you rent farm tables in the Phoenix area?

Yes — farm table rentals are one of our most popular items. We have over 70 custom-built 8-foot farm tables available, along with matching benches and cross-back chairs. Farm tables can be rented as sets (table + seating) or as standalone tables. They work beautifully for receptions, rehearsal dinners, quinceaneras, and backyard parties. See our farm table rental page for full details and sizing.

Do you rent wedding arches and ceremony backdrops?

Yes. We carry a range of ceremony arches and floral/greenery backdrops for ceremonies and photo walls. Our arches are custom-built and available in several styles. View options at woodncratedesigns.com/wedding-arch-rentals.

Do you rent dance floors?

Yes. Our dance floors are a popular add-on for receptions and are available in various sizes based on your guest count. Setup is always included with dance floor orders. See options at woodncratedesigns.com/dance-floor-rentals.

Can you build or source something custom that isn't in your inventory?

Possibly! We have a full workshop and the skills to build almost anything. Your best window for custom builds is June through September, when our schedule opens up. If the item you need is already on our purchase queue, we may be able to bump it up if your event date allows. Contact us early to discuss.

Do you provide styling services?

We don’t style events ourselves, but we’re happy to refer you to some excellent event stylists and wedding designers we trust in the Phoenix area. Ask us when you reach out.

Changes & Cancellations

Can I add items after I've paid my deposit?

Yes — you can add items up until 14 days before your event, subject to availability.

Can I remove items after I've paid my deposit?

You can remove items at no extra charge up to 14 days before your event. Removals within 14 days of your event date will result in a cancellation fee equal to 50% of those items, drawn from your existing deposit.

What if I need to cancel or postpone my event?

Your 50% deposit can be applied as a rental credit toward a new order within 12 months of your original event date (credit applies to rental items only, not delivery or service fees). Any amount paid above the 50% deposit is refundable. Cancellations made within 14 days of your event date will incur a fee equal to the full rental order total.

Pricing & Budgeting

How much do wedding rentals cost in Phoenix, Arizona?

Costs vary based on guest count, the items you need, and your venue location. As a general guide, our farm table sets run in the range listed on our pricing page, and our full inventory pricing list is available as a free download there. We have a $1,000 order minimum for delivered orders, which ensures we can provide full-service setup and teardown. Smaller orders may qualify for will-call (warehouse pickup) at no minimum.

Is there a minimum order amount?

Yes — our delivered order minimum is $1,000. This covers the logistics, delivery, and setup that make our service full-service and stress-free. We maintain the right to waive the minimum for weekday or off-season events. If your needs are smaller, you may be able to pick up select items directly from our warehouse with no minimum. Not all items are available for self-pickup, so contact us to confirm.

What additional fees might apply to my order?

We believe in transparent pricing. Beyond your rental total, here are the fees that may apply:

  • Delivery fee (based on distance)
  • Terrain Fee — 5% of your order if stairs or long carry distances are disclosed in advance; 15% if disclosed less than two weeks out
  • After-Hours Pickup fee — if same-night pickup begins after 10:30pm
  • Late return or damage fees for will-call orders
Do you offer discounts?

Yes — we offer discounts for military members and first responders (ID required), returning customers, and wedding/event planners who serve as our primary point of contact. Let us know when you reach out and we’ll apply the right discount to your quote.

Do you price match?

We do. If you have a written quote from another professional event rental vendor in the Phoenix area for a comparable item — including all delivery and setup fees — share it with us and we’ll do our best to beat or match it.

Booking & Availability

How far in advance should I book wedding rentals in Arizona?

It depends on your event date. Our busiest months are October–November and January–May — for those months, we recommend booking 8–12 months in advance. Six months out is cutting it close. For December and June–September events, booking within 6 months typically still gives you good availability. That said, our farm tables are often 80–90% booked two months out, so reaching out early is always the right move.

How do I start the rental process?

You have three options — choose whatever works best for you:

  1. Visit our warehouse — Schedule a free one-on-one Inventory Tour using our Calendly page. You’ll see items in person and we can start your order on the spot.
  2. Submit an availability check online — Fill out our Check Availability form with your event date and items of interest.
  3. Use our Wishlist Tool — Build a list of items and quantities at woodncratedesigns.com/gallery and we’ll return a detailed quote within a few hours.
What deposit is required to book?

We require a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure your rental order. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your event date.

Can I come see your inventory in person?

Absolutely. Our warehouse/showroom in Apache Junction is open by appointment. Use our Calendly link to schedule a free one-on-one Inventory Tour. It’s a great way to see the quality and scale of our pieces before committing.

Delivery & Setup

Do you deliver, set up, and take down the rentals?

Yes — full-service delivery, setup, and teardown is included with every delivered order. Most of our pieces are heavy and require assembly, so our team handles everything on-site. You won’t be lifting a farm table on your wedding day.

When will you deliver and pick up my items?

We’ll confirm your delivery and pickup windows via email two weeks before your event. Our standard delivery is a morning-of, two-hour arrival window (excluding Sundays). If our schedule allows, we’ll deliver the day before at no extra charge — but if you want to guarantee a day-before delivery at booking, there’s an additional partial day’s rental fee. Standard pickup is within an eight-hour window the day after your event (excluding Sundays). Same-night pickup after 10:30pm incurs an After-Hours fee.

Can I request a specific delivery time?

Yes, for venues with strict arrival windows, we accommodate specific delivery or pickup times upon request — no extra charge for this.

How long do I have the rental items?

Our standard rental period is one calendar day. For a Friday wedding, that means access from Friday morning (as early as 9am) through Saturday morning (as late as 9am). Extended rental periods are available based on availability, and additional daily rates apply.

What do I need to do before you arrive for pickup?

Please clear table decor, lightly clean surfaces, and stack items accessibly. Anything delivered in boxes — candles, hurricanes, etc. — should be returned to the same boxes. If you paid for curbside delivery, curbside return applies too. Our team does the heavy lifting; we just ask that items are ready and organized.

Planning for Arizona Specifically

What should I know about planning an outdoor wedding in Arizona's heat?

Arizona summers (June–September) are hot — daytime temperatures regularly exceed 105°F in the Phoenix Valley. For summer outdoor events, we recommend: scheduling your ceremony and reception for the evening (6pm or later), providing shade structures or renting a venue with covered outdoor space, and renting patio heaters for fall/winter nights when desert temperatures drop quickly after sunset. Our team has set up hundreds of Arizona outdoor events and can share what’s worked well at specific venues.

Do you work with popular Arizona wedding venues?

Yes. We’ve delivered to wedding venues, state parks, ranches, private estates, and backyards across the Phoenix Valley — including locations at Desert Botanical Gardens, various Scottsdale venues, and East Valley properties. Some venues have preferred vendor lists; we’re happy to confirm whether we’ve worked with your specific venue or reach out to coordinate directly.

Can Wood-n-Crate handle a backyard wedding in the Phoenix area?

Absolutely — backyard weddings are one of our specialties. Our team is experienced navigating residential settings, including grass and hard surface setups. Just let us know about any terrain challenges (stairs, gates, limited truck access) when you book so we can plan accordingly.
