Phony Bridal Show Duped Thousands

Phony Bridal Show a Scam

Starting in January the bridal show season starts to heat right up. Here in Toronto there are so many shows it is hard to differentiate.  Which are good and which are bad? The shows main purpose is to make money from both the advertisers / vendors and from the attendees. Admission at $15.00 for two is a fair investment. For the vendors displaying the space in even a minor,  poorly attended show starts at thousands of dollars.

Over 6000 were duped by this. Estimates on the size of this fraud range fro 150 to 300K. Does this also mean that eventbrite, the credit card companies and paypal will be held partially or fully resposible for their forwarding of victims money to the con artists? So far no charges have been laid.

With the internet being what it is today this fraud is easy to perpetrate. The skills required will be the ability to create facebook, twitter and e-mail personalities. A blog and you are in business.  In the case of the Boston scam the event page was set up using Eventbrite. The success of the venture will be determined more on social networking and search engine optimization skills than any other abilities.

How To Protect Yourself

For the attendee, simply pay at the door.

For the vendor check the track record of the company putting on the show and know who you are dealing with. If in doubt, meet with the show producer and pay by check. A background check to see if the show producer has paid for the venue should help.

Party Rentals: Finding The Best Company

Author: Party Rentals

If you need party tents, tables, chairs, linens, sound systems, or lounge further, the best option would be to look into the services of Las Vegas Party Rentals Company. So what should you do first? Search online or pick up the phone? Well, before you contact the party rentals company, it might be a good idea to gather your thoughts to know what you really want for the party.

Party Rentals – Conditions You Need to Know About

Everyone knows what renting entails. In essence, you will have temporary possession of certain goods or services which can be charged by the week, day, or even hour. In dealing with party rentals, a rental contract is usually drawn up to bind both parties to the agreed-upon rights and obligations. This contrast goes into effect after the renter gets physical possession of the inventory. It will continue until the turnover of the merchandise.

The contract will cover everything you rent from beverage bars, tents, to the furnishings. Expect that there will be a rental deposit charged if you go to a party rentals company. It is usually a third of the total rental price, to be paid when you make the reservation. The setup and tear down of the equipment is the responsibility of the company. They should provide qualified personnel to unpack, assemble, and install the materials. At the end of the party, they should come back to disassemble the equipment and then load them to be returned.

Reservation and Tips

It is important to know early on what equipments you need before contacting the party rentals company. Reserve these equipments three months in advance to make sure that it is available at the time of the celebration.

During the peak season such as June (for weddings), reserving even earlier is highly recommended. A lot of wedding planner reserve as early as six months to ensure that in-demand equipments will be available at the wedding. Take note that the reservation fee is usually non-refundable.

Quick Background Check

Having a glitch-free party is the desire of every bride or birthday celebrant. To achieve this, it is critical to check the background of the company you’re interested in. Determine whether the Party Rentals company is in good standing with associations such as the Better Business Bureau and the American Rental Association. Sometimes, no information is readily available if it is a start-up. In this case, try the feedback of friends and family should be given priority.

Also, try to inspect their inventory before making the reservation. It is critical for the Party Rentals to be in good condition. If it contains dents, dings, and marks, it might be better to look elsewhere.

Outdoor Heating Solutions

Paramount Patio Heater

Paramount Patio Heater

Patio Heaters

Propane patio heaters can be economical to operate. Depending on the heat output level you set, a standard propane tank can provide 10-12 hours of heat.

Propane-powered “mushroom” or “umbrella” heaters (so called because of their shape) are the best choice for heating large areas. They radiate warming rays from the top cylinder and provide a comfort zone of 12 – 20 feet in diameter. The propane tank is hidden in the bottom of the unit. It’s a good idea to put these units away when not in use as they can be sensitive to the elements. Smaller tabletop units are also available.

Although electric heat is usually the most expensive, there are a few electric heaters designed specifically for outdoor use. Be sure that any heater that is left outside is rated as such.
With the wide selection of outdoor heating devices available, you’re sure to find one that right’s for you. So heat up the night – and go right on enjoying your outdoor space.

Infrared Heaters

Infrared or radiant heaters are said to be 100% efficient as they do not heat space but the object being pointed at.

Summary

Typical installations for outdoor heat requests at ASAP Tent and Party Rentals generally fall into two types. A press conference or presentation or evening parties that spill out to the deck or back patio.

Our response to our customers is to have a combination of the two styles of heaters, one heating from above and one from below. In practical usage this provides the best results.

Beer Beer and More Beer

Recently the Labatt Brewery in Toronto closed and moved to London taking their free beer taps with them. You can rest easy though because Molson’s up the street has come to the rescue.

If you would like to have draft beer at your party or event it is possible to get the necessary equipment and advice at the Molson Brewery company store.

The draft beer dispensers are available at the store. There is a damage deposit on the equipment that is refundable on return. If you do not have access to the Brewery store you can contact your local beer store. Some carry this equipment and the draft beer kegs. Check by phone in advance before as all stores do not have the same range of products.

The Molson company store is located at 1 Carlingview Drive in Toronto.
