Event Essentials absolutely knocked it out of the park on our holiday project. Korrine, the designer and project lead, provided incredibly creative ideas and flawless execution, and her fantastic support staff truly went above and beyond. If you're planning an event, fundraiser, wedding, or a memorable party at home, Event Essentials is the best choice. I've worked with them for years and wouldn't consider anyone else for any major event in my life. They've managed everything for me--my wedding, birthday parties, picnics, fundraisers--and every experience has been outstanding. You will never be disappointed. read more

Shae at Event Essentials was so helpful and great at communication and collaboration as I worked out rentals for my wedding. I first reached out to Event Essentials to rent dessert plates. Then I needed napkins but couldn't find the right color and Shae offered to help. I sent the picture of what I was looking for and Shae found the right color. She even sent a sample to my parents house so I could see the exact color. Shae was always there to help, even when I was last minute trying to figure out if we could get a stage for the band. She helped with the stage measurements and even helped figure out if the stage pieces would fit through a standard door. I would recommend working with Event Essentials and especially Shae. She was my partner in planning and I knew I could count on her to help. read more

Thank you Ali! Ali helped us pull off a very last minute 50th birthday party the week before Christmas. I still can't believe they were able to do it. Ali had a completed contract to us complete from linens to lights in just a few hours. The night was perfect and so much fun. It is very difficult these days to plan get together a with friends in a safe and comfortable environment with COVID. But this made the set-up very festive and we had over 80 friends that were able to stop by and enjoy safely. It made it even that much more special. Did I mention that the tent made it through an evening with wind advisories and gusts up to 70mph? Didn't even sway. Excellent job. Thank you! read more

I had an incredible, beautiful wedding because of Event Essentials! Jackie was so great to work with and gave me a tour of their showroom so I could see my vision come to life before I rented anything. If you can stop by and see their showroom, I highly recommend it so you can see pieces come together! All of the staff were extremely friendly and made the pick-up/drop-off process so simple. Such a fantastic business to work with if you have a big event coming up! read more

I rented a backdrop and acrylic stands for my wedding ceremony. Event essentials made the set up and tear down so easy. They even came to the ceremony space to make sure what I ordered would work in the space and made suggestions based on what they saw in the space. Very happy to have worked with them read more

As to events response, I work really hard too which is why when I spend $600 for tent rental I expect it to not be defective & setup correctly, you haven't been in touch but here is my email recycledcashmere@gmail.com. I would love to hear your solution Beth read more

Event Essentials was great in terms of communication and set up for our wedding. All items were accounted for on our day of, and setup/tear down was taken care of without me having to worry! There was some confusion on times for setup and clean up, but after speaking with the Sales Director, the entire situation was remedied. I appreciated their attentiveness to correcting the error. The only suggestion I have for future customers is to be sure to ask detailed questions, and have them in writing, regarding setup and tear down estimates. It'll save you potential confusion in the end! Thanks again, Event Essentials. read more

Love these guys. They are professional and know this business better than anyone else in the state. Highly recommend. They have a designer there while is top notch and no corners are cut. You get the most with your dollar here. read more

So they charge you the full amount but refund the difference when you return the bouncy house in dry and satisfactory condition. This would have been nice to know when I made the initial arrangements. The guys helping me unload it from my car were nice and helpful. I would reconsider using them again. read more

Loved working with Event Essentials! So many wonderful products that we used for our Southern Celebration preceding our son's wedding. They have just about everything one could ask for from lawn games to tents. Highly recommend read more

We were not happy with any aspect of doing business with Event Essentials. Once we ordered and paid a deposit for an amplification system and other decorative items for a wedding, we explored adding chairs for an outdoor wedding as well. That revealed a series of hidden fees such as extra costs for delivering at a specific time versus a 6 hour window. There would have also been extra charges for late pick up after hours which was not revealed initially either. The cost to cancel any items you've reserved is dicey and comes at a high cost (your deposit PLUS the entire amount of items that would have been rented). We weren't sure we'd need the chairs dependent on weather and there was no option to cancel without penalty. We ended up renting the sound system only and ended up picking it up and dropping it off personally. The sound system worked, but it was beat up, buttons were broken, and a speaker stand needed to be altered to make it work. In the end we had music at our event, but the entire experience was frustrating. read more

We used event essentials for our decorating needs. I felt like they were easy to work with and the staff that came out to set up decorations were professional and timely. One thing that I wish I would have checked prior is if they set up chairs. We didn't realize that they didn't set up chairs and it added another 45 mins to our set up time. Lesson learn, don't be afraid to ask questions. read more

Wow. Don't rent from event essentials. They are not consumer oriented at all. I called to try to get some last minute items for a party I was planning. Since I was unable to meet their minimum order amount, they wanted to overcharge me for the item I requested. When I spoke with the manager asking for her to help me out given the circumstances, she rudely told me that she was unable to help me. I would not recommend renting anything from these people after this service. I have worked with other rental places in the past (Capitol City Tent Rental in McFarland), and they were outstanding. I would recommend them for sure! read more

Having worked in the rental industry before as well as several other customer service oriented jobs, I have a high level of expectation for professionalism. It seems this company is not entirely on the same page with that concept. Farrah was a delight to work with! She was polite and helpful both in person, over the phone, and via email. However, when she was unavailable to assist, her counter girl lacked a great deal of those qualities. She was curt on the phone and in person. I found her very rude and unaccomodating lacking a general respect that is important when dealing with customers. We drove quite a distance for the rentals for our wedding which was large in part due to my initial interactions with Farrah. Bailey makes me wish I had taken my business elsewhere. My interaction with Andy was two-fold. When we initially arrived to unload our rentals, he was busy on the phone with a non-work related issue and failed to even make a polite gesture such as I will be with you in a moment. His redeeming factor was after dealing with Bailey, he did honor my request to count everything and ensure the accuracy of numbers so we could have our account closed out. The condition of the items we received were fair. I wish the glasses didn't have as many water stains on them and that the chairs had been a little cleaner but I also know from experience, that things are not always perfect. I would most likely rent from them again but they do need to train their employees on the importance of professionalism! read more
