How It Works
While most Amaranth + Artifact rentals are true one-of-a-kind, vintage pieces, A+A also offers furnishings with a modern design for a look and style that could be straight out of the showroom. A mix of unique, vintage furnishings and sleek, modern pieces make Amaranth + Artifact’s curated collection a stand-out, one-stop-shop for event rentals.
There are two ways to book rentals.
01
Utilize our designer services.
Schedule a consultation with our designer, where we’ll discuss your inspiration, style, needs, and budget. Then we’ll design rentals around your specifics, and create a visual board for you. Finally, you’ll receive a visual design proposal as well as a corresponding rental order. This service requires a non-refundable $500 booking retainer that is applied to the total if rentals are booked.
02
Build your own wishlist.
Create a wish list from our online inventory with your selected rentals, and send it in to create an order.
FAQ

Our specialty rentals offer unique one-of-a-kind details that you will not find anywhere else!

-
Mostly around the Outer Banks and surrounding towns. As far south as Ocracoke and as far north as Carova and Currituck County. We always consider outer lying towns and areas. Deliveries outside of a 50 mile radius are considered “Out of Town” and cost will vary depending on location and rental load.
-
There are two ways you can do this!
Option One: Create a wishlist from our online inventory, and submit to start an order. Once an order is created, the rentals are reserved for 10 days.
Option Two: Book our rental design service! We design rentals around your vision, needs, inspirations, style and budget. After we have a consultation, we’ll create a visual design board & a rental quote, and send it to you for review.
A $500 non-refundable retainer payment is required to book your design service. This pre-payment is applied to the balance after the order is created. This does not secure any rentals or lock you into our rentals - it’s simply a booking retainer. If you choose to book rentals after seeing the designs & rental order, a 50% retainer will be collected with signed contracts to confirm the agreement.
-
Yes, you have 61 days from your event date to make changes. After that point we allow exchanges for rentals of equal or greater value and rental additions. Within 60 days of event date removing rentals can result in a 10% fee. Within 14 days of event date removing rentals can result in a 50% fee.
-
A retainer payment (50% of the balance) is non-refundable. We always strive to be understanding and realize plans can change. We do honor a partial refund for cancellations 90 days prior to your event date of any monies paid in addition to the non-refundable retainer. If order is canceled 14 days before the event date A+A retains the full order amount. Our full cancellation policy can be viewed in our contracts.
-
Yes, we will always do everything we can to make a delivery and set-up happen. Extreme weather conditions, death, illness and pandemics are unpredictable and we understand. You are provided with our ‘Inclement Weather/Act of God’ clause in the contracts.
-
Accidents happen and we understand. We charge a 10% non-refundable fee to your proposal to cover wear and tear and small damages. That may not cover a completely broken furnishing. If the rental is returned completely broken, we will survey the damage, attempt to make repairs ourselves, and source out a quote for repairing if it is beyond our capabilities.
Any extensive repairs will be at the clients expense. If the rental item is beyond repair and has to be pulled from inventory, the client is billed for three times its rental rate to cover the replacement of the item.
-
Due to the delicate nature of the majority of our rentals we do not allow for pick-up services. We handle our rentals with the utmost care to insure they look exactly as you expected for your event. This also relieves you of extra work and possible damages that could occur during moving.
-
We are always open to seeking out new inventory to offer to you at a rental rate. It will depend greatly upon what it is and if we feel it will rent again. But always email us your ideas as we are very open to new and exciting pieces! Also some of our pieces may still be waiting in line for their photo to be taken. It’s possible we may have what you're after!
-
We LOVE custom designs! Our creative minds are constantly mulling over new and exciting ideas. Backdrops, Walls, Ceiling installations and Hanging Décor we really do love to make it happen. A non-refundable retainer of $500 and minimum of 60 days production time is required for ideation, creation and plan of execution.
“Jessie from A+A was an absolute DREAM to work with.
Her work is incredible and she really brought our vision to life. She gives suggestions, tailors things for your style and makes sure everything is covered within your budget. I went into our consultation a little all over the place and she was able to somehow pull EXACTLY what I wanted and created the best vision board. I'd work with her a thousand times over again.
