FAQ - Marquee Letters and Numbers
We have Colorado’s largest inventory of four-foot stand-alone marquee letters, giving you endless possibilities of what you can say! However, we still encourage you to reserve your letters as soon as you can. It’s the only way to guarantee you’ll get the letters you want on the date you want.
We also have numbers, exclamation points, question marks, hash tags, and ampersands (&).
Our letters are all capital letters and stand 4ft tall. They’re each between 2-3 ft wide and are 8-9 inches deep. Each letter weighs between 30 and 50 lbs. Plan 3 feet of floor space per letter when considering where to place them.
Our letters are made of solid wood. They’re American made by a professional carpenter. They’re sturdy, splinter free, with a white paint finish. They stand on their own when placed on a hard flat surface.
The Marquee lights are made for indoor use or outdoor with shelter. Putting letters where they will be fully exposed outside is possible if you agree to the stipulations outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Our marquees are made from substantial wood and weigh between 30-50 pounds each. Together we’ll determine the best place your letters, and we will set them up for you prior to the event. Once they’re in place they are wired together, with all the cords secure and hidden, making them difficult to move. It’s safest not to move them unless there is a prior, pre-arranged agreement written into the contract.
They use normal sockets, and once they’re connected they typically require only one cord leading to an outlet.
We tape down all cords to eliminate tripping hazards but still encourage you to place them near the outlet when possible.
Speaking of power. They are beautiful from the front, but the back of every marquee is filled with wiring bringing electricity to every bulb. Having them near a wall or a backdrop is ideal.
Fill out an interest form or give us a call. When you know what marquees you’d like, we’ll check availability for your date.
We can’t give you a quote, however, until we have the exact delivery address.
Once we’ve confirmed they’re available, and agreed on the rental fees, we’ll send you the contract for your review. If you have no questions or concerns you’ll sign it using an e-signature.
The Rental Agreement gives you all of your payment options. Once we’ve received the signed rental agreement, and your payment, or deposit, your reservation is secure
The rental fee is primarily determined by how many marquees you get, and the mileage between. our warehouse and the venue; each reservation requires two round trips.
There may be additional fees if : (1) Together we decide you need weighted boxes. (2) If the pick-up time is after midnight, or an overnight stay is required of our team.
(3) Choosing balloons or flowers instead of bulbs. (4) If you want a bulb color we don’t carry, there may be additional charges.
(5) Last minute orders come with a an extra fee.
However, you will know the exact amount before signing the Rental Agreement. We guarantee no hidden costs.
We offer two styles of bulbs, and both come in a variety of colors.
The Starlight Bulb is soft and elegant. (8 watts); Traditional Globe Bulbs in clear are bright and bold (15 watts) and Colored bulbs are great for creating a party atmosphere or matching a theme or school colors.
Or, forgo the bulbs altogether and fill the marquees with flowers or balloons instead! However, balloons and flowers are very labor intensive and come with addtional fees for materials and labor.
We leave replacement bulbs with every set-up, and make sure there’s at least one person at your event who knows exactly where they are and what to do in the unlikely chance this happens.
We try to make it as stress free for you as possible. We deliver, set up and take down your marquees within the time frame agreed upon when the contract was signed.
Site visits prior to the event aren’t usually required but can be scheduled if necessary. We are of course happy to work with event planners and venue managers. Together we’ll help determine the best possible location to place your marquees.
We will work with you if you need to change the date, or venue after the contract has been signed, but obviously can’t guarantee we can accommodate a change.
We refund 100% if cancellation is within 72 hours of purchase. 75% refund if your purchase is cancelled 6 months prior to the event. 50% refund if cancelled 3-5 months prior to the event. No refund will be given if cancellation is 3 months or less prior to the event.
There are circumstances when we allow the customer to have a payment plan. A down payment is made to make the reservation. How it is paid off, is unique for each customer. If using a payment plan, no deposits are refundable.
Should the government ever mandate venues to close again forcing you to postpone your wedding, we will refund you 100% – minus credit card fees. That is not going to happen, but it might give some of you peace of mind knowing this.
It’s not our preference. If a marquee is damaged, you’d be charged the full cost of replacing the letter or number if it can’t be repaired without compromising our standards. However, exceptions are made. You’d be asked to agree to several stipulations, sign an Addendum to the Rental Agreement and pay a significant security deposit.
No. Our marquees are not for sale.
