Absolutely incredible!!!

I’m so happy I chose special event rentals for our reception decor. Kaitlyn was incredible to work with and made everything fun and easy! She helped us pick so many beautiful things! We paid for delivery and pick up and it was definitely worth it! Our reception looked absolutely beautiful. Thank you for everything!!!

Helped make our outdoor fall wedding spectacular!

“Good clear website, helpful advice and able to provide all of our preferred choices of tent, tables, chairs, dance floor and stage we needed to host our daughter’s wedding. Great set up team. Levelled stage in tent. Clean up after take down was excellent.”

Hi Sara,

We truly love this feedback. Thank you.

We are happy we were able to accommodate. We hope to help you again at your next event!

Wonderful experience

We rented a heater, propane tank, vent and two outdoor carpet runners for my sons wedding this weekend. Jennifer was quick to respond and very knowledgeable about what we may need for our space to heat it. Everything was easy to install and great to use. We had absolutely no issues and drop off and pick up was easy. So grateful for services like this.

The wedding dreams are made of

Customer service was excellent. Jennifer was quick to reply to my many email and questions. She was very accommodating and even gave me a discount. Delivery was incredible and everything that was ordered arrived. I am very pleased. Everyone we dealt with was professional and helpful making our special day flawless. From the tent to the tables and chairs and linens to the speakers and microphone, everything fit so well together and worked great! I would recommend them to anyone needing rentals for their events.

Special Event Rentals 10/10!

These guys were great to work with, lots of hands on displays of all of their items with a huge selection of rentals. They were also very helpful with any questions you have with prompt responses! Picking out items, placing the rental order, delivery and drop off went very smooth. They also have a discount day where if you go into the store they will take 10%-25% off the items on your rental order, which was fantastic! One minor snag, they forgot to put any of the linens we rented on the delivery truck but the issue was remedied in about an hour, other than that we had a great experience with them and I would recommend them!

Good selection, service and overall experience was mediocre

Special event rentals has a decent selection and pricing, but nothing was exceptional. The experience was overall mediocre and I wouldn’t particularly recommend renting through them

Decent source for all things wedding

We used Special Event Rentals for glassware, table cloths, and a backdrop and it worked out well for us. We managed to get a discount by attending their wedding event. The staff were friendly and helpful and knew their products well. We were happily able to reserve enough products for the number of people we had invited and then update later once we had our final numbers. My only issue was the website, which I found a little frustrating to navigate at times (but the staff were helpful and knowledgeable in person and over the phone).

Outdoor wedding haven!

We used special event rentals for our outdoor acerage wedding. We rented two large tents, large rectangle tables that we put together for a family style dinner, and chairs. We loved the responsiveness over email, and they were always a short phone call away. The only thing I would have liked is if our specific tent we rented was able to be set up by them. Unfortunately it wasn’t so it was quite the task with a bunch of family the day before. Apparently Most other tent types you can pay for them to set up, not sure why this one wasn’t? Either way though it all worked out great!
