About My Service

At Dax & Bo DIY Decor Co., I specialize in providing tablescape decor rentals—including votives, vases, candles, and signage—to help you style your event beautifully and affordably. Please note, I am not a full-service decor company and do not provide floral arrangements or on-site styling services. My goal is to offer you the key pieces so you can bring your own vision to life.

Zero Surprises.

Below is everything you need to know about deposits, payments, delivery, and more.

Payment & Deposits FAQs

Planning an event is enough work — your rental process shouldn’t add to the stress. Here’s a simple breakdown of how pricing and payments work at Dax & Bo, so you can book with confidence and no surprises.


How does payment work?

To officially reserve your rental items and event date:

  • A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at booking to hold your items and date.

  • The remaining balance is due 7 days before pickup or delivery.

  • A 20% refundable damage deposit is added to your total (see details below).

Your invoice will include:

  • Full list of rental items and quantities

  • Pickup or delivery fees (if applicable)

  • Your 20% refundable damage deposit total

  • Final payment due date

  • Itemized replacement values for all rented items

If any items are lost, damaged beyond repair, or not returned, you’ll be charged based on the replacement values. Charges beyond the damage deposit will be billed to your payment method on file.


When will I get my damage deposit back?

You’ll receive your damage deposit refund within 7–10 business days after your rental items are returned and inspected, provided that:

  • Items are returned on time

  • Items are in the same condition you received them (normal wear and tear expected)

Accidents happen. If items are damaged beyond normal wear and tear, missing, returned late, or not cleaned properly (e.g., leftover wax or personalized details), deductions may be made from your deposit.

You’ll always get a clear, detailed breakdown if any deductions occur.


How are payments processed?

All payments go through Booqable’s secure checkout. You can pay with:

  • Credit or debit card

  • Apple Pay or Google Pay (if enabled on your device)

No outside apps or extra steps — everything stays in one place, securely encrypted for your peace of mind. You’ll receive confirmation and receipts for all payments.


How does the final payment work?

Booqable sends automatic reminders to help you stay on track with your payment schedule.
To keep your reservation secure, please make sure your remaining balance and damage deposit are paid by the due date (7 days before pickup or delivery). If payments aren’t received on time, your reservation may be canceled.


What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

The 50% deposit is non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss availability. Deposits may be applied toward a future rental depending on availability.


Are taxes included in the prices?

No, prices do not include applicable Minnesota state and local sales taxes. For items picked up at the Otsego location, a sales tax rate of 7.375% applies. For deliveries, taxes will be calculated based on the delivery address and added to your final invoice.

Rental Details

Rental Policies

  • Minimum rental order is $100.

  • Free local pickup available from my Otsego location.

  • Delivery fee is $35 within a 30-mile radius.

  • Delivery beyond 30 miles is available — just ask for a custom quote.

  • Rentals must be returned by the agreed-upon date, usually the Monday following your event.

  • No return pickups — you’re responsible for returning items on time.

Rental Periods

  • Weddings usually have a rental window from Wednesday through Monday, allowing plenty of time for setup, event day, and cleanup.

  • Other events (birthdays, showers, corporate, etc.) may have shorter or flexible rental periods, often just the event day or weekend.

  • Custom rental periods are available—just ask!

Rental rates are based on the items you choose, not how long you have them. So whether your rental is for one day or the whole weekend, your price stays the same.

Additional Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, I don’t provide setup or floral services. My focus is on offering affordable DIY decor staples you can style your way.

  • I recommend booking as early as possible—ideally 4 to 8 weeks before your event—to secure your date and preferred items. Popular dates fill quickly, especially during wedding season.

  • Please return items free of wax, debris, and personal decorations like flowers or vinyl. Normal wear and tear is expected, but excessive damage may affect your damage deposit.

    To help avoid any issues:

    • Make sure candle holders are free of wax

    • Clean mirrors, signage, or displays of vinyl, marker, tape, or stickers

    • Pack items carefully to prevent damage during return

  • You can add items subject to availability. Order updates are allowed up to 14 days before pickup or delivery. Deposits are non-refundable, so please contact me as early as possible if you need to make changes.

  • No, return pickup is not offered at this time. Clients are responsible for returning rental items by the agreed-upon date.

  • Currently, delivery is available within Minnesota only. For events outside the 30-mile delivery radius of Otsego, I can provide custom delivery quotes upon request.

If you have questions about how it works, what to rent, or how to customize your order — just reach out. I’m happy to help you figure out what makes sense for your event.
