How do I check if props are available for my dates?
Renting from SLP is a collaborative process. Start by building your wishlist in your shopping basket and creating a quote request or contacting us directly at hello@sweetlifeprops.com.
Once we receive your quote request, we can let you know about availability. If your requested item is not available, don’t worry, we can usually offer an alternative item or source something for your needs! We may suggest substitutions or additions to help curate your order.

- Any optional add-ons (like styling or strike)
- Items can be returned earlier, but pricing is fixed for the 7-day term.
- We’re happy to work with a range of budgets. Just reach out!
Do I need insurance?
If you’re a production company, agency, or planning a large-scale shoot, we may require a certificate of insurance (COI).
Not sure if you need one? Ask us when you inquire, we’ll walk you through it.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We get it, things shift. Let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or adjust your rental.
We’ll always do our best to accommodate changes, though fees may apply depending on timing and prep already in progress.
What condition should items be returned in?
All props should be returned in the same condition they were received—clean, undamaged, and properly packed. If something breaks or gets lost, we’ll use your deposit to cover repairs or replacement.
