The Guest Who Sits Out the Reception

There is often one at a wedding — frequently a grandparent — who makes it through the ceremony and then spends the rest of the evening at a table, because the walk from parking to the ceremony to the reception was further than anyone counted on. They rarely say anything. Nobody wants to be the reason there is a fuss.

We rent the thing that fixes it, deliver it to the venue or the family’s hotel, and bill the family directly — so it never reaches your invoice.

Where it goes wrong

Almost never during the ceremony. It is the walk from parking to the ceremony to the reception — often across grass, in shoes chosen for a wedding — and then an hour of standing for photographs afterwards. That is the part that ends the day early.

What we need from you: nothing

You pass on a number. The family books with us, we work out what suits the venue and the ground, and we bill them directly — it never appears on your invoice, your vendor paperwork or your timeline. There is no commission, so there is nothing to contract or disclose.

One detail worth passing along: tell us the surface. Small-wheeled transport chairs bog down on soft grass where a larger-wheeled scooter is fine, so if we know the ground in advance we send the right thing.

Two things before you recommend us

You are putting your own name behind this, so plainly: we are a hospitality rental company, not a medical provider — no prescriptions, no insurance, no medical advice. And we do not rent electric or power wheelchairs.

Plenty of these calls come the week of, or after the rehearsal, when someone finally walks the route. That is normal — we deliver same-day across the metro when we are called by early afternoon. Call 913-775-1098 and describe the day and we will tell you what fits, including when the cheaper rollator is the better answer than the scooter.

Link us, and we’ll take care of your couples' guests

If your organization adds our website to yours — your vendor or resources page, a member or vendor directory, wherever it fits — we’ll set up a discount code for your couples' guests. We create the code and we manage it, so there is still nothing for you to track.

It is open to any organization that links us, with no contract and no minimum. And to be clear about which direction the money goes: this is not a commission — we don’t pay referral fees to anyone, in any program. The discount goes to your couples' guests, not to you, which is why organizations that could never accept a kickback can still take this.

A number worth having before the week of the wedding.

No commission, no contract, nothing to set up in advance. Save it for the client who mentions a guest that cannot manage the distance — or call and describe the venue and we will tell you what fits.

There's nothing to sign and nothing to disclose. We don't pay referral fees or commission — to anyone, in any program — so there's no contract and nothing for compliance to review. We bill the guest directly. You make one call and it leaves your desk. If you'd like to link us from your site, we'll set up a discount code for your guests and manage it ourselves.
