Mark with Santa Barbara Event Rentals was absolutely incredible to work with from the very…read morebeginning! He was one of the first people to truly help us as we started planning, even before most of our wedding details were in place, and that support meant more to us than he knows. Beyond being quick to respond, Mark genuinely took the time to help us explore options, share his knowledge, and guide us through decisions. He went above and beyond just providing chairs, he was even willing to look into other inventory we were searching for and looped in additional support whenever needed. Mark's care, generosity, and dedication never went unnoticed, and we are so grateful for the role he played in bringing our wedding day together. I recommend Santa Barbara event rentals to anyone looking for chairs or event rentals in Santa Barbara! I primrose you will be in the BEST hands!!

If I could give this company negative stars, I would. THEY.ARE.THE.WORST!…read more They are putting on the carnival at the Strawberry Festival in AG right now. They have bouncers throughout the festival and at the point we saw a jumper and carnival ride (they were isolated from the actual carnival area), there was a sign to buy tickets, but no wrist bands, which I thought was weird. I asked if there were wrist bands and I was told no. I bought 24 tickets for $20. Since my daughter had wanted to go on that jumper and little ride next to it, we spent a total of 7 tickets. We walk around a bit more after that and find the carnival area WHICH IS SELLING WRIST BANDS FOR $25! So an all you can ride wristband for $25 and I had to pay $20 for 24 tickets because I was told that there were no wrist bands by an employee of Luna's Jump. Keep in mind, all bounce houses/jumpers/carnival rides/carnival games are all through Luna's Jump. I go up to the ticket booth in the carnival area, explain that when I bought the tickets on the other side of the festival, the employee specifically said there were no wrist bands. I wanted to trade in the remaining tickets I had and pay the $5 difference so my daughter could have a wrist band. The chick said she couldn't do that as it said on the tickets there are no refunds or exchanges. I said I wanted to talk to the owner, an employee makes a call, the chick I was talking to asked the person making the phone call "Is that Mom?" (MOM?!), talks to her, gets off the phone and says there is nothing they can do as it states right there on the ticket no refunds or exchanges. Oh, I didn't realize Luna's Jump was running a Disneyland type theme park. Are you freaking kidding me? This is obviously a family owned company and they couldn't just take the 17 tickets I had remaining and let me pay the difference of $5 - ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS THEIR COMPANIES FAULT FOR TELLING THEIR EMPLOYEES TO TELL PAYING CUSTOMERS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE FESTIVAL THAT THEY ARE NOT SELLING WRIST BANDS!!!! Obviously, I was upset - having some prepubescent girl have an attitude, refusing to make the situation better as it was one of their other employees fault. Hey "MOM/OWNER" - perhaps when doing the festival tomorrow or at any other point - SELL WRISTBANDS WHEREVER PEOPLE CAN BUY SINGLE TICKETS AND IF THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, HAVE YOUR EMPLOYEES DIRECT THE PERSON TO WHERE THEY CAN BUY A WRISTBAND. Oh, and also, you need to get your employees into check. My daughter went into the laser tag bounce house (FIVE TICKETS GOT YOU FIVE MINUTES) - wasn't in there for five minutes until the employee there called everyone out. When I said "My daughter hasn't been in there for five minutes and all of these other kids were in there way before her." She replied "Well, I timed it for the amount of time they were all in there. Sorry, we have to do that." I said "That's not right and no you don't." Aside from the horrible customer service, the bounce houses themselves were literally smudged/stained with brown - you could especially see it on the jumper designed as a blue sea theme. And besides the dirty bouncers, the first bouncer that my daughter went on was on asphalt. There was an older girl who went down the slide on her side and ended up slamming on the asphalt as Luna's Jump didn't even lay a padded mat down on the ground just in case a child was to land on the ground. The majority of the other bouncers were located in the carnival area which was on the grass. This business seriously sucks.

After contacting 6 vendors, The Tent Merchant clearly became our top choice. No other vendor was…read moreeven a close second, for the following reasons. (All other vendors were deficient in one or more of these areas. Every other vendor was deficient in the first. Scary!). 1-COMPETENCE- The Tent Merchant asked all the right, necessary questions to safely, legally, securely erect a tent and visited the venue early on to ensure they were prepared. Beyond safety, they had the best variety of tent sizes,features and embellishments. They also had varied tablecloths available from basic polyester (the only thing available from all other vendors) to cotton, linen, and luxurious textured fabrics. They offered more sizes of linens and tables than others as well. 2-TRANSPARENCY/INTEGRITY: Immediate, clear, unchanging prices and no "surprise" small print. By FAR the best contract terms. No required NON-(or partially)REFUNDABLE deposit on a tent until 10 days prior to event (when weather is more clear), yet guaranteed tent availability! (Others required tent deposit up front: a guaranteed loss if you don't need it). The weather forecast led us to forego the tent, but even after the 10 day deadline, TM assured "we'll do everything we can to take care of you". We had nearly daily communication that final week, with immediate responses, updates and support. 3-Word-of-mouth RECOMMENDATION by a local event planner, who also sent me a link to the 2025 Santa Barbara Independent Wedding issue, in which The Tent Merchant was a recommended vendor. Yelp and Google were sources for others. Concluding, every detail was efficiently and thoughtfully fulfilled as promised, and on time. I am grateful for the professionalism, competence and integrity of this company. I can't recommend them more highly. They will capably support and fulfill your vision with excellence, they will be available, encouraging and honest, and they will have your back from start to finish.
