We rented furniture for a birthday party and had a great experience from start to finish. Browsing their catalog made it super easy to choose the pieces we wanted since everything was well laid out and visually clear, which really helped with planning the look of the event. Once we finalized our selections, coordinating with customer service was smooth and pleasant. They were responsive and communicative, which I really appreciated, especially leading up to the event. It helped everything feel organized and stress-free. On the day of the party, the team arrived right on time and set everything up exactly where we wanted. Pickup was just as efficient! Zero hassle. There was a small hiccup: a loveseat we had paid for wasn't delivered initially. I was almost going to dock a star for that, but once I flagged it, they responded immediately and issued a refund without any pushback. That level of accountability and professionalism really stood out. Overall, great service, great communication, and great experience. I'd absolutely work with them again for future events! read more

Good Events, delivered for our daughters Quinceañera. Since the very beginning working with, Daniel, at Good Events has been amazing from start to finish. He made the process of planning our daughter's Quinceañera seamless. They were responsive, accommodating, patient and friendly. They listened to both my needs and requests. If I needed to make changes or faced any unexpected issues, both Daniel and the staff handled the requests efficiently and professionally. We rented the following: *Lighted XV 4 foot marquee * Table linens * Black napkins * Sheer curtains * Petit Silver Royal Chair * Easels * Silver stand table * Coffee urn and condiment holder The quality of all the items we rented were excellent and clean. Their attention to detail when setting up in our space was impressive. They returned back in the evening for teardown and were able to meet our deadline for being out of the event space. We would work with Good Events in the future and would highly recommend them. Thank you for your support! read more

A wonderful customer service experience with Daniel C. I found them to be very responsive and accommodating. We rented a stage for a school event and there are a lot of logistics around getting in and out when 600 students are around and they did great! I would hire them again! read more

Poor customer service, explicitly from sales representative Daniel C. He's very rude and places blame on his customer, when he himself makes multiple mistakes. Would never recommend this business to anyone. I'm glad we didn't sign for or receive anything, as we will be going with a more reputable company. read more

WILL ABSOLUTELY use Good Events again. Daniel and Otto were both very communicative, patient (we had sooo many questions and changes) and extremely responsive. Our company's ERG had an event with about 100 attendees and we needed everything from chairs, linens, umbrellas, tables (seated & cocktail) AV equipment (speakers, mics, power source etc.) and they we quick to set up + tear down (extra fee - and well worth it) and helpful and easy to talk to while they were on site. I was in the hospitality industry in a previous role, and thoroughly and enjoyed and appreciated Daniels customer service, attention and suggestions throughout the planning process. Thank you all at GE! read more

My husband and I celebrated our daughter's sweet 16, and we had a very positive experience! I communicated with Daniel and Otto. They answered all my questions. The day of the event I provided a layout of our set up, they followed up and set up 200 chairs. The chairs looked beautiful! Thank you Good Events! read more

Daniel C. at Good Events is an absolute saint. There were a good 20+ emails back and forth as I made one inquiry and contract and then had to follow-up with another for rental items that would hopefully help the guests ordering at the food truck we had outdoors at our wedding this past weekend. One of those items was a number of string lights which they also set-up and took down for an additional fee. When I noted that I wasn't sure about the height of the food truck and if the lights could go above it, Daniel took the initiative to research the average food truck height and satellite images of our venue. He put together some mock photos of the lighting hung from a nearby tree and reassured me that his team would figure it out and make it work the day of. Fast forward to the day of my wedding and the rental drop-off and pick-up process went absolutely perfectly. The team from Good Events was prompt and professional through and through. I really appreciate that Good Events offered specific drop-off and pick-up times so that I could plan things out in a timeline rather than guessing. Can't thank the staff at Good Events enough for quality items and a smooth process. read more

Good Events is awesome! From Ana, at the office who helped secure a last minute 20x20 tent to the team who came and set up our tent at 8AM and then tore down at 6PM as scheduled. We needed a last minute tent for my daughter party and, Ana did a great job with communicating with us and checking to see what they had available. She gave a good tip about making sure to check in with the park to confirm what's the approved size we can have at the park. Thanks again, Good Events for the last minute rental! read more

I needed a cool water slide jumper for my dtr's 7th birthday. Stumbled upon GE after contacting a few in the area. I chose to hire GE bc of their quick response time, transparent fees and professional set up and delivery. My dtr and her cousins had a blast. We ordered the lava slide and the basketball game. I'm definitely going to order again from GE!! read more

Needed to rent chairs and linens for a backyard wedding. Good events had really good prices. They also had the chairs and color linens I wanted. Placing an order and payment was very easy. Contract was easy to read the price breakdown wasn't confusing. I changed the color linens because my decor wouldn't have stood out and it was very easy to adjust that. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is there was 2 oil stains on the linens. I was able to cover it with my decor so that was ok. Also I picked delivery time slot 8 am to 12 pm and they literally came at 12 pm to deliver. Which is fine but I was like are they coming? I had to call to make sure. Also on pick up day our time frame again was 8am to 12pm but this time it was already 12:39pm and no one came. I had to call to found out the status. Its just a courtesy to let the customer know if your running late or etc. I had an appointment at 1pm to be at. Also some chairs were pretty banged up and scratched but overall not bad in the photos. read more

Had the worst experience ever! Contacted Good Events for a small graduation party ( 4 table, 20 chairs and 1 tent). Items brought were okay for what was needed, thought the tops for water containers holding the tent in place were missing tops to hold water in. When making order online, there was no "take down" service item to add to cart and was charged a fee because tables and chairs weren't in the same exact place the gentlemen left them when dropped off. The lady that contacted me for payment was extremely rude and I had a very hard time communicating with her, along with the gentlemen that delivered the products. Thankfully I had someone that could speak Spanish when time of delivery. Would NEVER use this company again, total lesson learned. Make sure you take pictures upon delivery when using this company so you can avoid the "take down service" fee. read more

This family owned party rental company is my go-to one stop shop. I rent their jumpers for every single one of my events. They have a wide selection and they are very clean. As a matter of fact, they clean and sanitize them upon delivery and during pick up. The quality of their jumpers are different than others I have rented in the past. Their delivery and pick up times are always at exact time. Extremely friendly workers. Their chairs and tables are clean and have no dirt or grass stains. Their rental process is super easy and they even give additional discounts for returning customers. I highly recommend them. read more

Good Events - W enjoyed this jumper so much, we kept it for two days. - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Hayward, California

Outstanding business and customer service. Since the very beginning of my wedding planning process, Good Event rentals has been so amazing. They responded to all of my questions quickly, the communication was super professional and friendly, and they accommodated all of my request and have over exceeded my expectations. For my wedding, we rented their arch, photo mirror, and up lighting. All of which was delivered on time, and set up to perfection. The owner Ana, was a pleaser to speak to and responded quickly to my questions. Otto is an employee and was there the day of the wedding to set up and to attend our photo mirror. Super nice and professional man who took the time to customize our picture layout. Thank you Good Events for being so unbelievably amazing to work with and for making my wedding so beautiful!! read more

I needed to rent a tent and some tables for my Christmas party. I found Good Events on yelp. I decided to give them a try based of their reviews. I was very happy that I was able to do everything online it made the process easy and stress free. I liked the fact that I could see what I was going to be getting. I placed and paid for my order online I called a few days later just to make sure that my order had gone through and that I was scheduled for the date needed. The person on the phone did confirm my order and delivery time frame. The gentleman that I spoke with on the phoneas well as the crew members that came to do the set up were very polite and professional. I will definitely be using this company for any future events. March 24th 2018 I hired Good Events for another party I was having and honestly I am such a happy customer Both occasions have been a great experience with this company! read more

Didn't have the good experience since be charged $50 again for reschedule delivery fee. We didn't expect the delivery driver just only wait for 10 minutes and leave. We were just in the back yard and missed the driver's phone call. We called back to delivery driver. Just about 10 minutes after we missed his phone call. It wasn't like he already went back and unload the tables& chairs to the storage or even an hour later. It was just about 10 minutes late. Then the messages shows we have to pay another reschedule fee $75 to get delivery again. We didn't have other choice since the reception coming next day so we can only accepted it and paid it. The lady on the phone was polite and gave us about $25 discount but we still have to pay $50 for delivery after 2 hours at the same day. The quality of tables and chairs were ok but not great because I have to clean some dirt on those tables and chairs myself before use it. Anyway, I don't feel good about this experience. read more

Booking good events was the best decision I made! Ordering was breeze! Ana was super attentive and made the overall ordering process easy and stress free! I will definitely be using them again in the future! The delivery staff was fast and made sure everything looked great. Thank you so much! You guys helped make my birthday a success! read more

We had to file a claim with the Better Business Bureau due to their unethical business practices. We tried contacting Good Events a few weeks before our wedding to make sure our order was was good to go. However, Good Events refused to respond to our voicemails, emails, and direct messages. We had no idea they were even still in business. After finally getting a hold of someone (who was completely unresponsive), we decided to cancel our order. The ironic thing is that we were charged a 30% cancellation fee. We had no idea Good Events was even open due to the company's zero communication with their client. We have an open case with the BBB which Good Events lied to an initial claim and gave invalid information. Please do not use them. There are way, way, way better businesses in the area. read more

My wife and I just completed out son's 1st birthday party and it was a huge success!! We deal with the husband and wife - Anna and Otto. Anna answered all the calls and was the face of the operation. I had submitted an inquiry online and Anna invited my wife, son, and I over to her house to see her inventory of things available to rent. We rented 8 tables (big enough for 10 people), 80 chairs, table cloths, a snow cone maker, and a bounce house. Paid a total of about $550. Throughout the process, I did not feel nickle-and-dimed. Anna was professional and worked with us and our budget. Anna also threw in syrup, straws, cups, and bag of free ice with the snow cone machine. Also, because we lived 3 miles from their headquarters, they waived the delivery fee. GREAT SERVICE on the front end!! On the day of delivery, Otto came through on time and and collected everything on time. GREAT SERVICE on the back end. The entire process was smooth and I felt like a valued customer. ***The bounce house was a basketball bounce house but did not include a ball. We purchased a ball and accidentally left it in the bounce house.*** read more

Zero stars. Ruined my wedding. Rude, impossible to get a hold of. Unapologetic and inappropriate. Do not give them your money.

Horrible customer service. Went into the business on Friday and provided details of what I needed. The owner stated he was going to send me an invoice within an hour which he did. Never did he say I had to pre-pay 24 hours in advance. I got up Saturday morning and tried to pay but the invoice said "cancelled"...WHAT???? I called the number and a woman answered saying the business had an emergency with another customer. Hmmm, but I can't get my rug so I'm doomed. My event was to take place today and I was screwed! I went to another establishment and they literally saved the day. Got a better deal and I'm now happy. Note to owner: Make sure you tell the customer they have to pre-pay. read more

They went way beyond my expectations! They called me earlier in the week to see if they could drop off the tables and chairs a day before the day I wanted them with NO CHARGE, which was a coincidence because I just had a conversation with my sister about having the chairs and tables come the day before just so we have time to set up. Funny how things work out. Of course I said yes, and they dropped it right off. I was worried they needed me there because I was the one who paid for it, but I didn't even know they dropped it off until my grandma called me afterwards and told me. AMAZING. Picking up also was easy! This was by far the easiest task I had to accomplish for my mom's 50th birthday. I will definitely rent from this place again and again. Thank you GOODEVENTS!! read more

BOOK Good Events NOW! They were professional, reasonable and overall extremely easy to work with. We rented 10 60' Rounds for my Mothers Retirement Party .They also provided a detail breakdown of the time, products rented, etc, very well organized ! Their Products are great quality and they delivered and picked them up with ease! I have a friend who works as a Busy Party Planner- I will forward her over to Good Events in the future for her million weddings and parties she do for her company every week. Good Events is the best around. Thanks again for making our party a hit! read more

Really no one can beat their prices and their service was great. Had a birthday for my daughter and they were very prompt with their work, on time, clean equipment and furniture. I would definitely use again with no hesitation. read more

Zero hassle service and very reasonable prices. Otto is very responsive. What I loved is that they dropped off tables and chairs a day before the party which gave me a fair chance to organize decorations. Will be using their services from hereafter. Excellent service read more

They are very professional and communication was prompt! Get a quote and be very specific with what you need and delivery time, etc. Cost of delivery is slightly higher than their competitors but they are flexible - plus response time was great so it's well worth the extra $5-$15. Mr. Otto answered all my questions and various concerns, their inventory is very complete so you won't have to look at other places for all your party needs. I didn't rent a jumper, but I did rent chairs, rectangular/ circular tables/ high top cocktail tables, and table clothes for all of them! Everything was in great condition! I would use this company again for my next party! read more

Great company! Quick response, good customer service. prices are reasonable and they have a variety of equipment you can choose from for any party/event. I rented a Jumper, tables and chairs, and 2 patio warmers. had I known, I would have rented turf as well, but I found out the day of the party that we needed something for the dirt in the backyard:(. No big deal, next time I will order it. Ana was very helpful placing order and the delivery guys were very professional and explained how to use the patio warmers. read more

I used Good Events for my kids' first birthday party at our house and everything was perfect! First, they came by to help me measure our yard and they offered suggestions on what size bounce house and tent would work best for the party. Then when we were ready to book the rental, our invoice came quickly (pay via paypal...big plus) and they were willing to drop everything off early, and adjust the pickup time. The day before the event I received an email confirming our order. The day of the event, everything arrived on time and was set up quickly, and finally, after the event the items were picked up as scheduled. All of the furniture we rented was clean and the bounce house was a big hit with the kids! I will definitely use this company again for any future events and I would recommend Good Events to all of my friends and family. Be sure to ask for Otto, he is the best! Thanks Good Events for making our party a success. read more

We decided at the last minute to rent a bouncy house for our 5-year-old's birthday party and could not have been happier with the service we received from Good Events! Ana was incredibly responsive and helpful with all my questions. Delivery and pickup on the day of our event was on-time and went very smoothly....Otto was so friendly, professional and helpful. The bouncy house was very clean and well-kept and the kids had an absolute blast! We can't wait to use them again for future events. read more

Another updated review: I called Good Events today and received a text that they were unavailable to speak at the moment but to either email or txt them. I sent a txt and received a response immediately! I needed to get some tables and chairs for a very small, last minute celebration for my daughters 8th grade graduation. As usual, Otto and Ana were able to accommodate my needs. I am so happy they are up and running again. I assume they were shut down for months due to COVID. I STRONGLY recommend using Good Events for all your party needs. Not only do they have GREAT customer service, but they also have CLEAN good quality equipment. Best of all they are local!! As I mentioned in my previous posts- GOOD EVENTS is my go to supplier for all my parties. THANK YOU OTTO AND ANA!! Updated review: We had such a great experience with Good Events a few months ago, that they were the the ONLY company I reached out to for my oldest daughter's graduation party. Ana and Otto did not disappoint. Ana was so patient with me. I was stressing out about having so many people coming over that I kept emailing Ana to make changes and ask questions. She was always so professional and understanding. Although they were busy, they always found time to respond in a timely manner and accommodate my ever changing requests. Otto was great! He ime decide what items would work in the spaces I had. I rented multiple tables and chairs and 2 jumpers. All the items were very clean and the service they provide is exceptional. I strongly recommend using Good Events for all your party needs. Ana and Otto- THANK YOU BOTH for everything!! You guys are THE BEST!! EXCELLENT SERVICE!! I host parties pretty often, and have used multiple rental places. But I think I have found my go to place now. I had an issue with the original company I rented from. The day before my event, I received a call from the first company I rented from and they informed me that they made a mistake with the dates and they could not provide the tables and chairs I needed until at least an hour AFTER my party started! I called multiple places and found Good Events. I read a review that made me a little hesitant, but I decided to call anyway. I AM SO GLAD I DID. I called and spoke with Otto who was very pleasant and informative. He informed me that they had the tables and chairs available for my party. I was still a little hesitant so I said I would call back. I eventually called back and spoke to Anna who was also very pleasant. Anna sent me a quote via email that I received quickly and was able to pay for online. Quick, easy and painless process! Anna confirmed delivery before 1:00pm, which was perfect! The tables and chairs arrived on time and were very clean. The pick up was easy and fast. This was one of the smoothest processes I have had. I would not hesitate to use this company for all my party needs and to refer to friends and family. FYI.. I found out later that they also rent jumpers. What an awesome deal- get everything you need from one company that is professional and friendly! Great job Good read more

I used Good Events for a wedding I planned in the Hayward area. Great communication and easy to work with.

I had a bad experience with a different company last year. The bounce house never showed up. I was so relieved when Good Events showed up with this year's bounce house. I love their easy payment process and their constant contact. I highly recommend them, I know I will use them in the future. Easiest vendor I have ever dealt with! Thank You!!!!! read more

We were looking to rent some some kid-sized tables and chairs for my son's birthday and Good Events had them! And, in multiple colors (bonus!). We rented two of the 4-ft tables and 12 yellow chairs (so cute!!) to match the theme of the party. The rental process was very easy by making a reservation via phone and then approving a professional email invoice and making payment via PayPal. We had a small order so made arrangements to pick up and drop off the rentals on our own, but otherwise they have a delivery service, as well. Highly recommended and I will definitely use them again for future parties! read more

I don't even remember how I came across Good Events but I was so glad that I did. We rented 3 outdoor games for a party & they were delivered (early), set up & taken back super easily. Very clean equipment & very nice delivery folks. Will use them again if I have the chance. read more

Updating review to reflect a response to Otto. You were absolutely 100% late on both days and I had to call both days to see where your delivery drivers were. Twenty minutes late is still late. If you show up at 1:20pm, it's not between 10:00am-1:00pm, correct? This time was never changed so what's your excuse other than lying and saying you weren't late? Perhaps that's why you were late, you need help understanding time? If you can't handle delivering all over the Bay Area on time, perhaps you shouldn't advertise that you can. I didn't mention times earlier because I didn't think I needed to ding you any further. What last minute changes are you referring to? I called on Friday to make a request for SUNDAY that your company agreed to. The change was early enough to be reflected in an updated contract we signed off on when you delivered the rentals late to My event on Saturday. Might want to check your paperwork! If you could not accommodate the change, then why give me a new time window? Again, you chose the new time. Fighting your customers over Yelp? Yep, I'm sure customers are going to read your responses and think, "I can't wait to rent from a company who can't accept any fault and publicly fights with their customers online. Again, you did not show up between 1:00-6:00pm on Sunday. I finally left the venue at 6:45pm and your delivery person STILL WAS NOT THERE. I never even received a call saying they were going to be late. This is a waste of my whole Sunday, as your drivers never showed up. Not sure how or why you don't understand that. You are 100% wrong in this situation and this could have been repaired by an apology. I hope your customers will learn that Good Events will take absolutely no responsibility when they mess up. Rent at your own risk. ***** Yelp should really give a zero stars options. Good Events? What a joke. Don't bother using this company if you require delivery. They give large delivery windows and don't bother to show up. They were late dropping off my rentals on the day of my event and extremely late picking them up the day after. I had to call both times and ask where they were. Both days we were given large delivery/pickup windows (3-5 hours) and they couldn't even bother to pick up the phone to call me and tell me they would be late both days. Keep in mind, they are located in Hayward and our event was in Union City, there really was no excuse for delays. When they were late with delivery, my husband asked if they could please be earlier for the next day pickup to which they replied, "we'll try." For our pickup, we were given a pickup window from 1:00-6:00pm. We sat at our event venue (which was not our home) and waited for 5 hours. At around 3:00pm I called Good Events to see if maybe they could give us a more accurate time frame, but of course no one answered. When 6:00pm came and went I called and no answer again. They called me back and told me they had "trouble with deliveries both yesterday and today." Ok, and you couldn't have picked up the phone either day to let us know? She then told me her delivery person would be here at 5:15pm. Lady, it's already passed 6:00pm! She finally told me I could leave the items out front and leave since her delivery drivers wouldn't arrive until at least 6:30pm. 1. I'm pregnant, so I'm not lifting 30 chairs and 5 tables by myself, and 2. If leaving them was an option in the first place, I would have had someone come by and help me do that at 1:00pm instead of wasting my whole Sunday waiting for Good Events not to show up. At 6:30pm, I received a voicemail from the same woman at Good Events, stating that they were not making 6:30pm, and actually had no idea what the delivery driver's ETA was. She also stated that I had changed my delivery time. Yes, on Friday, I called and asked if they had any pickup windows other than 7:00am-10:00am since our event wasn't taking place at our home and I needed to make sure someone was available to be there for pickup. Good Events chose the 1:00-6:00pm timeframe and I agreed, even though it meant that I was now going to wait around for 5 hours for them to show up. If they couldn't make any other time work, I would have been there at 7:00am, although I doubt they would have made that time frame either. Again, my updated contract even states the rental pickup window was 1:00-6:00pm, so I have no idea what mentioning this in a voicemail had to do with anything. Especially a voicemail where you're telling me that you have no idea when your driver will be here to pickup your rentals and your company chose the pickup time? Yes, instead of apologizing let's attempt to blame the customer for a time change chosen by your company. Awesome customer service. We plan tons of events in my family and I plan events for work. I really wanted to give this family owned business a chance, but they've lost my family's business and any future business from the events I plan. read more

Good Events is awesome! I mainly worked with Otto when booking equipment rentals for our wedding on 8/18/18. He was very fast with his responses every time I had a question or wanted to adjust my equipment list. Meeting Otto in person at our site visit was even better as he is the nicest person you'll ever meet! Otto and his team were on time when it came to delivery/set-up and tear-down/pick-up. They were also very fast and accommodating to such a unique venue. I am sure I'll be using Good Events for any future events I may have and recommending them to anyone who asks! The prices are competitive but you really can't beat the service they provide! Thank you, Otto and team, for making our special day even better! read more

I was fortunate enough to work with this company this past weekend for an event I hosted at my home. Because a huge April storm was coming the day before my event I kept going back and forth with what I needed. They responded quickly to all my questions. They accommodated all my needs in a timely manner. Drop off and pick up was also done smoothly with no problem. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone. Great job and thanks for your cooperation and patience. read more

I had a great experience working with GoodEvents! Staff is friendly, patient, and quick response. My wedding day was on August 12th; a very busy weekend according to multiple vendors.. I didn't book my rentals until a couple of weeks before the wedding :/ lots of places don't really have everything I needed. When I reached out to GoodEvents, they have all I needed and also with a reasonable price. Due to the size the party changed and last minute notice from catering and bartending, I had to modify my order 4 times.. I felt so bad but customer service was very patient with me, also had my order delivered correctly! I want to say thank you for your awesome work! I will definitely come back and be your customer again! read more
