We used
Wagner Costumes last year for our production. We did a mostly whole package for about $2600; however, they might be willing to rent just the enchanted costumes. We rented all major enchanted creatures, the Beast, the enchantress, Gaston, Belle, Maurice, LeFou, a lot of villager dresses & petticoats, and men's costumes. These costumes came with multiple pieces and several characters had several costumes. The Beast had a crazy amount! We outfitted about 30 students (maybe a little less) through them. We rented costumes from a local place as well for some villagers whose sizes weren't compatible. We made our own napkin and silverware costumes. However, Wagner does have enchanted ensemble costumes; we just chose to make them to save money.
Wagner was WONDERFUL to work with. We had weather issues (blizzards) and they did everything in their power to ensure we got what we needed. I would 100% work with them again.
Here are pics of Lumiere, Cogsworth, Pots, Chip, and Babette. Madame de la Grande Bouche had a GREAT cabinet costume but I can't find a pic of it. Lumiere's hands light up and are controlled by the actor. We made the cart for chip but the head piece was Wagner's. Each enchanted creature also had an "after" costume, so I did put Madame's after dress below.

Hi all -
My High School is performing Beauty and the Beast the second weekend of March. I have been looking around for a rental company that would allow for us to ONLY rent the enchanted objects. However, I have had no luck as most want groups to rent the whole package for about $6,500+.
Does anyone have any costume they are willing to rent, sell or leads to a source I might be missing.
Thanks in advance!
