About a year ago, I had a pretty cruddy customer service experience with another party rental…read morecompany in the Greater Portland area, so I made a vow to try A Plus Party Rentals for my next big shindig. Pros: + I needed round, high-top, cocktail tables. At the other party rental place: $40. At A Plus Party Rental? $8. I KID YOU NOT. I don't understand this at all, but it's magical and I'll take it. Segue... + Generally speaking, their prices are always a bit cheaper than the other big party rental place in South Portland. Did I ever tell you the one about the $40 high-top cocktails? No? See above. + They had all the items I needed when I showed up. At the other party rental place, they hemmed and hawed with me about what I needed and when I needed it by. + Even though they weren't supposed to (and I hope this doesn't get them in trouble), the two young men in the "warehouse" area loaded all of our equipment in and out of our U-Haul. To sit back and watch them load made me feel like a princess... I did ask multiple times if I could help, and they very politely told me I didn't have to. They were respectful, they were responsible, and they were thoughtful - asked questions about what we were doing before the event, remembered who we were and asked about our event when we went to return everything, and even helped us clean the U-Haul after (knowing U-Haul fines for any piece of litter left in the bed or cab). + Every person I encountered - from the young men, to the woman in the office, to the man with the delivery truck (who I think was the owner) - was a rockstar at customer service. Accommodating, efficient, timely... I so appreciated being treated like a customer here, while at the other party rental place I was made to feel like a joke. Thank you, A Plus Party Rentals, for treating me like a human regardless of the size of my order! Cons: - For the life of her, the woman I was speaking to when I called could not understand me despite spelling everything out multiple times very slowly; as such my name and address were completely wrong when I got my receipt which I had to call a second and third time to have sent to me when they didn't send it the first and second time I called asking for it. - They are located REALLY off the beaten path. If you're throwing a party in Portland proper, it's quite the extra effort to get the stuff from A Plus Party Rentals and bring it back into town. All in all, these folks are worth your time if you like being treated with respect and saving money. Two things I know I appreciate always!

We could not recommend Chris more! We hired him as our wedding DJ after experiencing his awesome…read moreskills at a relative's wedding last year. He was so fun and easy to work with. From the first time we reached out to him, he was communicative and friendly, answering all of our questions. He was super helpful in the lead-up to our wedding with finalizing our reception timeline and helping us make some music choices. He was a great emcee and made us feel so comfortable, and most importantly, he kept the dance floor completely full all night! Our guests had a blast at our wedding and he was a huge part of that. Thanks again, Chris!

You can really tell Chris loves what he does from the level of detail he puts into his work, his honesty with you on timeline questions, and just how hard he works to make everything perfect. The dance floor was never empty and he kept my party dancing their butts off. Also - if you are debating on the up-lighting DO IT. It made the whole tent feel like a romantic setting for dinner and down-right the best party spot after food closed up. Chris, you made planning so much easier and the night a perfect blast. You were flawless. THANK YOU for a night I will never ever forget!

The ceiling lighting and draping added just the right touch. Everyone loved it. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is because the wedding planner realized, at the last minute, that the draping near the door wouldn't work as it was set. I was surprised that Robin didn't realize this before she left. The bride and the wedding planner moved some things around and it worked perfectly. We were very impressed with the work that Maine Event did under very weird circumstances in a very weird space. I would highly recommend them.

As I was getting ready to check out, the system then hit me with a $1000 minimum to check out. This was not made clear ANYWHERE on the website until the very last step of check out. This is a very deceptive business practice and more than slightly ridiculous for a company that purports to rent bounce houses for a child's birthday party.
