Haydee, Cathy, and their team did an amazing job my wedding weekend. The Concepts Event Design team was so helpful throughout the whole planning process. They walked me through all their rental offerings, and I couldn't be happier with how our rentals looked at our rehearsal dinner and wedding. I will definitely work with them again the next time I need event rentals! read more

I loved working with them! They are SO quick to respond (thanks Cathy!!), reliable, and are very reasonably priced! They provided an amazing white dance floor, napkins, linens, etc. for my wedding. Everything came out perfect and better than I had imagined. I highly recommend working with them! read more

Working with Concepts was an absolute dream. I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with to help design my dream wedding.... And let me tell you it was PERFECT! read more

As a wedding photographer myself, I was very picky in which vendors I used for my own wedding. Concepts did an amazing job at bringing my vision to life! They provided the most beautiful farm tables, gorgeous white dance floor, and modern semi-circle deco bar. In addition, the concepts team was quick to respond, helpful, and on the day of my wedding they were so easy to work with and helped to rearrange my set up until it was perfect! read more

I worked with Ashley and she always responded to my emails in a timely manner. Me and my husband visited their showroom and they were able to show me all the items we would be renting. We rented the folding chairs, aisle runner, greenery walls, market lights, metal easel, and dance floor. Concepts did a beautiful job the day of and everything was placed exactly where we wanted them. read more

I used Concepts Event Design for lighting and table / chair rentals for my wedding. They were accommodating and professional and really helped bring my vision to life. The team met me at the venue on two occasions to discuss design details and run lighting tests. The ghost chairs made such a visual impact and the lighting really helped transform the venue in to exactly what I had imagined. The whole space glowed with those gorgeous warm purple light and the disco ball was such an awesome addition to the dance floor. Pictures don't even do it justice but I've attached a few here. The team is professional, responsive and accommodating and I would definitely recommend working with them in the future. read more

I want to start by saying that the staff is a PLEASURE to work with. Everything was organized & planned in advance . The responses to emails were prompt and professional. I can say I did not have a worry that anything would go wrong on my wedding day. They also have so many options to choose from in their show room for any event size or theme. What I did NOT like was that the items we rented were not in the greatest condition. The white lounge chair seemed to have dirt in the upholstered buttons, a lot of the Chiavari chairs had scratches on them and many of the ivory chair pads were dirty or stained. I have attached a photo . After spending the money I was disappointed somewhat. I understand these are rentals but I felt better cleaning could have been done or newer equipment could have been used especially once product starts looking old. Over all my wedding day was beautiful, I just felt the items that were noticeably damaged did not add the delicate touch I was looking for. These may be details my guests would never mention to me, but I surely did notice. read more

Concepts Event Design - Disappointed these were brought for my guests to use. I would prefer newer or cleaner equipment. - Party Equipment Rentals Near Me - National City, California

Great rental company, Bri and Jessica were great! Going to their store to select linen and furniture was easy and they were very flexible with customized requests. I had no problems at all! Reasonable rates with awesome service! read more

Concepts provided our wedding with tables, chairs, chandeliers and market lights. Our goal was to have an outdoor wedding under a tent with a romantic European style. They did a beautiful job and everything turned out so beautiful. We had long tables which turned out looking really nice and brought the family together. The sweetheart table was also beautifully decorated with the wood table. We rented the following... Concepts: 210 x Antique Whitewash Chiavari Chair with le creme matte pad 2 x Crystal 12 light 2 tier chandelier 2 x Light Dimmers 1 x Market Lighting 6 x 15'-65' strings Includes uprights, base plates and sleeves 24 x Provincia 8' x 40" Farm Tables 2 x Dessert Tables inside tent Both cakes from Fab Cakes 1 x Provincia 5' x 30" Sweetheart Table We were very pleased with the wedding decorations and highly recommend this company! read more

Pros- They are very nice! Everyone I worked with here was very sweet and they definitely don't try to upsell you. For example, when I asked about needing chargers the owner honestly told me that my venue has great chargers and there is no need for me to pay extra and rent them. That is great business as it creates trust. The linens were also beautiful and though I didn't look around, I feel like their prices were reasonable. Cons- I had to use them since my venue required it. They did not have many options regarding chairs. However, the worst thing would be their communication. Every time I called I always had to leave a voicemail. I would call in the middle of the workday and still only get a voicemail. My messages were returned weeks at a time. One time they called me three weeks later just to ask if someone had returned my call. Then there was a mix up with my order that thankfully was discovered a few days before the wedding. Communication is so important when you have a business. It can create a lot of stress when you can't get through to someone. read more

I've been working with Haydee and the rest of the Concepts team for several years on many types of events and can't sing their praises enough! They are amazing to work with and have a great inventory of rentals. I will continue to be a repeat client of theirs and highly recommend them for any event. read more

Concepts did an excellent job with rentals for our 200-person wedding. Everything looked great and there was wonderful customer service as we worked through our process of picking what we needed. Additionally, there was a really tight set up window for our reception venue and Concepts worked exceptionally fast to get all the tables, chairs and other decor ready extremely quickly. Highly recommend! read more

I initially wanted to meet with Concepts Event Design because they were highly referred by a friend. Concepts Event Design provided the linens, chair covers, and event decor for her wedding. Though I commend them for the beautiful work that they did; I, unfortunately, was not pleased with my experience. I had scheduled an appointment to meet with them to discuss options and what they could provide my fiancee and I for our wedding reception. Wedding planning is time consuming with scheduling appointments with several different vendors. I had set aside time to meet with Concepts Event Design only for them to give me a quote, which they could have easily just given me over the phone. The time it took for us to travel to their office was longer than the appointment itself. I felt that she was unprepared and didn't offer us many options. read more

CED made my corporate event breathtaking! Haydee and Cathy were on top of everything and being that I am a very visual person, they provided every detail of the event with their advanced rendering system. They exceeded all my expectations! They have a beautiful portfolio of events and I am excited to work together for another exquisite event designed by Concepts Event Design. read more

I always enjoy working with Concepts Event Design! I have worked in the hospitality/event planning industry for over ten years, and Concepts is my go-to rental company for events. When it was time to plan my own wedding there was no competition. Even when I shopped around initially out of curiosity, Concepts pulled through with best price, best inventory and best customer service. They are so accommodating and responsive with every request. I know that when I put in a call or email to their team, I will get the change adjusted and confirmed by the next day, if not sooner in a few hours. Their response time is fantastic and made life so much easier when planning a wedding! With so many items to keep track of during the planning process, I knew I could always count on Concepts. The entire team is very knowledgeable especially Cathy! She helped me walk through the planning of my wedding set up in person and made sure I felt confident in the design/diagram. I explained my vision and she gave me honest advice and guidance on how to make the event successful! Her expertise really helped, and put me at ease throughout the planning process. I felt confident in her staff and the team to deliver a great event set up! The day of our wedding, the lounge furniture I had rented looked fantastic! It exceeded my expectations and was a perfect fit for the location I had, and the amount of people I had in attendance. The on site staff was accommodating and set up on time! Big thank you to Concepts for all of your help in making our wedding day a success! Cheers! read more

I love working with Haydee. I met her back in 2004 when the company was Concepts Party Rentals. For my wedding, I rented tables, belly bar tables, umbrellas, chairs, and linens for my wedding reception. It was was a big order as I had 800+ guests. She was easy to work with and everything was delivered in a timely manner. In 2005 my sister got married and I suggested she use Haydee too. Again, it was a pleasant experience working with her. I used her a 3rd time when my sister and I threw a 40th anniversary party for my parents. This time I ordered linens, silverware, plates, champagne glasses, tables and chairs. I also have to say that her prices were better than the other local companies I looked in to. I sent a message through the company's website inquiring about renting a dance floor in a couple weeks. I was amazed that I received a phone calls within 3 or 4 minutes of sending the message. It was so nice that Haydee remembered me after 5 years. I haven't used her for event design yet, but if you haven't checked out the website, you should. The pictures of her work are beautiful! In case you want to see pictures of the 3 events, (and the things I rented) I wrote a "wedding report" that I used to post on the bridal boards several years ago. http://members.cox.net/wedding_report/ read more

We recently used Concepts for our wedding rentals and we could not have been happier! They were absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. They were very responsive and their prices were the best in town. They have a wonderful selection of rentals; we were able to get everything we needed to make our wedding perfect! read more

I ordered the satin blush linens and the gold chiavari chairs for my wedding. The linens were reasonably priced and looked good. The chairs were the best price I could find and looked amazing. Haydee was really helpful and sweet. I definitely recommend you check them out for your wedding/event. read more

Concepts Event Design - Chairs we rented - Party Equipment Rentals Near Me - National City, California

While planning my college graduation party I was refered by a friend to Concepts. Heidi was super nice and worked with me on pricing. I will tell you that this place is not for people who are looking for something cheap because this place is FAR from that. The linens I was looking for months and months she had! So they laid out the color of the table cover and complemented it with a brown napkin nicely folded as well as the pole and curtains and the design was complete. The guests at the party loved the entire setting and it was definitely a hit. I will however agree with some other reviewers that they do push you to use there chairs or plates or any other products they have. Yes, I understand that my party would look a 100 times nicer if I had those things but not everyone can afford to add all the little details. read more

Concepts is an incredibly professional rental company to work with and we had such a positive experience using them for my big day! I along with my mother collaborated on design ideas for my wedding and Concepts was able to help us finalize the exact vision we had. I ended up choosing them as my vendor for rentals due to their great pricing and professionalism. They also have a wonderful showroom in National City that made it very easy to go over ideas and come up with final decisions. I was an out-of-town bride as well and they helped accommodate me by sending photos of things we needed to revisit/relook at when we weren't in town. We were also lucky because Concepts and the florist we used, LaVonne of Adorations Inc., had worked together before and the two connected often to keep things organized and flowing. The only bump if any in our process was we did start with one contact, Tiffany, and ended up finishing the event process with Cathy, who was super helpful and reachable. There were a few things we had to go over again with the change but it all ended up working out just fine! We rented quite a few items for the wedding -- chairs, linens, chargers, special chairs for me and my husband -- and Concepts worked to make sure we got exactly the right mix of rentals we needed, down to color combos, texture types, etc. I had a keen eye for what I wanted to create and Concepts delivered! read more

I have attended several events where Concepts Event Design was either showcasing all they can do for your wedding, ceremony, celebration or whatever other happy occasion, as well as I have been seating in one of those magnificent tables nicely put and set. I think they have a great taste, everything is elegant and festive and good quality materials. Last time was some weeks ago at bridal bazaar I went with a friend who wanted to check how to organize her wedding, so she knows I will tell her my honest opinion...and honestly they seem to be doing great job just by the samples I have seen. I would like to visit their showroom, not been there yet. read more

Do not use this company if you have a choice! Unfortunately we did not have a choice, as they are contracted through our vendor, who I think might be reconsidering keeping them on. You will never deal with the same person, so they dont really know what was discussed with the last person you talked to, and dont ask to speak with the last person you spoke with, because they are always unavailable. I would send them emails with very specific details and they would continually get things wrong. This happened several times. I was emailing so I had everything in writing, but finally after so many screw ups I called to make an appointment to go down there so that in person I could spell out everything, so that they would stop screwing up. When on the phone, I explained all the screw ups, which this girl first tried to blame me & when I kept pointing out everything was THEIR mistakes, she was immediately full of excuses & never took responsibility that the company screwed up, nor did I ever even get so much as an apology. Even the manager knew & she acted like nothing ever happened while we were there. The worst part is that they send out bad products to the customers. I cant tell you how many chairs were falling apart and broken, and there were several damaged cushions. They also did not send the right tables for the design we had created & it was left to one of the hotel workers to jimmy rigg what we had to work with. Its sad that a company gets paid for bad merchandise and for you doing all the work because they aren't capable. You have been warned! read more

Concepts was so easy to work with and so professional! They have an excellent inventory and had everything we wanted. They were so flexible and easy to reach, and I appreciated their ability to change our rental amounts at the last minute. Deliveries and pick up were reliable and easy, and I couldn't recommend them more! read more

Concept Even Designs added the perfect touch and elegance to my wedding reception. It was definitely something we didn't budget for, but it was well worth stretching for. I appreciated their professionalism and they were always easy to contact, which is a huge plus for me. When I reached out to any of my vendors, I always appreciated the prompt response. I didn't do anything extravagant or needed much, just a simple curtain as a backdrop to the head table and a handful of uplights around the room. Even though it was much, it was the perfect touches to the room that made my dream wedding a reality. read more

I worked with Tiffany throughout the whole process, and she was amazing! All my questions and many, many, many edits to our wedding order was received quickly and answered/updated timely. She ensured we truly had everything we needed for our wedding, and made some great suggestions whenever we needed them. Even on the weekends, if Tiffany wasn't available, there would be someone to help us! My husband and I got married at Scripps Seaside in La Jolla, and it was great that they are very familiar with the venue. Everything turned out amazing, and even better than I imagined. Thanks so much CED! Joy & Justin read more

After getting quotes from several rental vendors, we chose Concepts for our wedding in part because it was the least expensive for what we wanted. And we were very pleased with their service, responsiveness, and quality of their products. Our wedding was at the Scripps Seaside Forum, so we needed draping, market lights, lighting, lounge furniture, tables, and chairs. It was very smoothly and looked extremely quality. Thank you Concepts! read more

Our daughter was recently married on New Year's Eve at the Hilton Torrey Pines. Concepts was recommended by our planner, Jaime Soto. We rented chairs, tablecloths, napkins and a few other things for a wedding of 125. Everything was beautiful. What a way to start the new year. Thank you for making Molly's and Danny's wedding so special. read more

The team at Concepts got it all right-- responsive, organized, on-time, great rentals, and easy to work with. They supplied us with rentals for our wedding and brunch the next day, and were great. Last minute changes/add-ons were no problem. Definitely would use again. read more

We hired Concepts Event Design for our wedding and it was great, they had the best selection of chairs and linens. Price was great, delivery was on time. We had to revise the invoice a few times and Becky was always friendly and easy going. We even had some last minute changes, to get different ceremony chairs and it was very smooth! We also rented some high end furniture for our photoshoots and it was such a big plus, it made our photoshoots so professional - we loved it! Highly recommended :) read more

We used Concepts Event Design for our wedding after having checked pretty much all the wedding equipment rental companies of San Diego. They were in our opinion the best. Tiffany who helped us, has very good taste, knows very well all of the products they have, and always answer emails very fast compared to other companies... One thing is that their furniture is very nice and not tacky. For example we used white lounge sofa and compared to other companies, these lounge sofas from Concept Events were looking way nicer in terms of quality and aspect, didn't look like a cheap random white sofa from walmart. Same for their charger plates, they have a great choice, and we used the Reef silver charger plate, no other company had these charger plates or had them in that large quantity (175), their silk linen was great too. And importantly the price was fair, especially compared to other companies that quoted us way way more for something of a lower quality. We also used the large LED cubes to go with the lounge furniture, and they were so cool! In conclusion I recommend everybody to go with Concept Events for their wedding furniture, lighting, etc... you won't regret it, and go take a look at their showroom asking to see Tiffany, she'll be so great to help you! Thanks again to Concept Events and especially Tiffany for having been a big part of the success of our wedding!!!! Daniel & Maryam read more

We worked with Concepts for our wedding a few years ago, and it was an amazing experience. From the very first visit, Haydee worked with us hands on to give the exact customizations we were interested in. As we progressed, she had no problem with all of the little adjustments we made to our order. Day of - their staff that delivered and set up was prompt, efficient, and just did a gorgeous amazing job. Concepts rentals made our wedding go from a standard ballroom wedding to one that was the talk of the town. The decor at our wedding created a mood that our guests still talk about years later. Couldn't have picked a better company to work with! read more

We originally heard of concepts on a local TV Channel feature news report and we were so impressed with the feature that we decided to hire them for a baptism. When we met management, we were so pleased with their suggestions! The shop owners really know what they are talking about. They suggest the decorations to have a cohesive element with the location and venue. They have an impressive resume, impeccable service and are artistically gifted. All of these talents made us very happy and satisfied customers and we would most definitely recommend them to anyone! Thank you! read more

Everyone at Concepts was WONDERFUL! Look no further - they have everything you need AND they have excellent working relationships with all of the great wedding coordinators and event venues in the area. Concepts provided beautiful linens, votives, beautiful boxwood privacy walls and much, much more for my August 2017 wedding. They're the BEST and were SO easy to work with! read more

We worked with Concepts for our early August wedding, and everything turned out absolutely beautiful! We are so happy we worked with them! We had our wedding at the San Diego Museum of Art, and we draped tall columns around the entire venue. We also ordered tables, chairs, linens, charger plates, and lounge furniture from Coast. They had great options, great pricing, and were so professional to work with. They had a great relationship with my wedding planner, so I really didn't have to do much except pick out what I wanted and sign the contract. When we saw the results on the day of the wedding, we could not have been happier. Thank you so much, Concepts!! read more

We are disappointed by the $1200 high gloss white dance floor. The size that was recommended did not match the venue space as it visually looked small in comparison for 135 guests. The worst part was the white dance floor was completely scuffed up by the time the newlyweds did their grand entrance and it shows in all of the professional photos. The communication process was mediocre given that there were inconsistent contacts resulting in repetition which was time consuming and challenging as we were based in northern California during our planning process and unable to visit the showroom in person. read more

Our venue works together with Concepts design and I'm so happy they do. We were able to find and pick exactly the color and type of linen/decor we wanted for our reception. It was absolutely beautiful! I couldn't have asked for a better company. Thank you all for making our wedding day beautiful and special! read more

My fiance and I recently had an appointment with Concepts to check out some lounge furniture for our upcoming wedding, and the whole experience left a pretty bad taste in our mouths. First, we had an appointment for 10am, which we were told was the first appointment of the day. However, when we showed up right at 10, the woman (I don't remember her name) was already meeting with another couple and we had to wait around for about 20 minutes. It became clear to me why she was ignoring us for the couple without the appointment- the other couple was interested in spending thousands more than we were. Call me old school, but I thought the hallmark of good customer service is treating all clients with respect, regardless of how much they're spending. My fiance and I looked at each other and said "If she's not done meeting with them in 5 minutes, we're leaving." Fortunately the other couple left only a couple minutes later, so we decided to keep our appointment and see what Concepts had to offer us. Imagine our surprise when, during our consultation, the same woman took an "important phone call" only to gossip/gab on the phone for another 10 minutes! Look, I get that it was a Saturday and events were being set up so "important phone calls" might happen, but that phone call was totally not a work related call! As far as the products and services offered? Turns out we couldn't even view their lounge furniture collection (the only reason why we wanted to come to the show room). Instead, we were pressured into linens and napkins and chivari chair rentals, even though we indicated we already had those items for our wedding taken care of. The woman asked us, "oh really? what kind of chair covers does your venue have?" And when I responded that I couldn't remember, she told me, "well, sounds like they must be really ugly!" and proceeded to try and sell me on linens. And finally (!), when we asked for a printed quote for lounge furniture, she gave us one that was missing a lot of information. As in, there were straight up blanks left in the space where the price of a certain piece of furniture should have been. So our "final price" quote was drastically inaccurate. When it comes to planning our wedding my Fiance and I made the decision to spend our hard-earned and saved money on only local vendors/businesses, but this is definitely one occasion where we will be looking into OC/LA-based businesses to provide the lounge furniture rentals we're looking for. read more
