Instead of Broadway, Your New Name should be WrongWay! We hope No-One will do business with you…read moreafter reading this. After my visit yesterday to A1 (formerly Broadway Rental), I wish zero stars was an option, because that's how bad my experience was.I came to the store looking to rent some scaffolds. The clerk asked for my driver license, I provided that to him. He looked puzzled and called for his manager Zack. They said there's a note here to not do business with me or my wife, due to a discrepancy from April 2021. That caught me by surprise because they said they are under new management. So I challenged them that if they truly are under new mgmt, then they should forget about the past discrepancy and do business with me. They said nope, You need to clear that up with the Party rental folks. I said, look, I'm willing to forgive you all of offending us and moving forward if you will. He continue to tell me emphatically NO! Now sense he wanted to continue trying to humiliate me, let me tell you why there was a discrepancy to begin with. In 2021, we rented a Gold Throne chair from Broadway Party Rental, for our very special 90 year old dad's birthday party. When the chair was delivered to us (late by the way) it was in bad shape, did't look as beautiful as the picture, paint was chipped, stains were on the velvet seat, both arms were broke and poorly glued back together, the legs were chipped, scratched, and looking wretched. We called the company to stress our disappointment, asked to speak with the manager. When we got on the phone with him and started to tell him about the issue, He became irate with us, thinking we were a different previous customer that had already complained about other chairs that were rented. Here's the catch, he said "You people are all the same. You rent from us and all you want to do is get stuff for free" We told him we never rented from from him and he had the wrong customer. We asked him what is that supposed to mean, he says "you know exactly what that means". So, yes we called him a racist, returned his broke down chair, and never looked back. The chair wasn't worth the $85.00 rental fee. We would have agreed to getting a better chair, as it wasn't about the money for us, because that chair wasn't worth $5.00. The close up photos show how abused the chair was when delivered. You can't tell from the full picture just how bad it was. Now a year later and New Mgmt, we see that they are still up to there old tricks. It should not have been a race issue. You classified us by saying "You people are all the same". Never the less, our fathers event was amazing and Thank God we made it, even with that horrible chair. By the way, Home Depot rental had everything I needed and was quite happy to do business with me. We encourage anyone who sees this review to think twice about A1 and Broadway Party Rental. This shows a lack of integrity on the part of the business and the Mgmt has not demonstrated any effort to move forward.

I rented a tent, tables, chairs, table linens, and glassware from Broadway Party and Tent Rental…read more(BPTR) - cost in excess of $2,000.00 - for a wedding at our home in Roseville, MN A few days before the event, BPTR sent out Gopher State to mark utilities in advance of setting up the tent. This marking should have been done with "flags only," but due to a lack of communication between BPTR and Gopher State it was marked in paint. The entire grassy lawn where the wedding was to take place was covered in Day-Glo red and orange paint just days before the event. Since the marking was done by Gopher State (at BPTR's request and direction) BPTR denies any responsibility. Tony at BPTR says "This happens every now and then - it's just the luck of the draw - it's not our fault." He (Tony) suggested that I purchase green spray paint and try to paint over the mess. Next, the tent and chairs arrived. I had specifically asked if the white tent and chairs would be clean and in good condition. The representative at BPTR assured me that "we take great pride in the excellent condition of our rental equipment." The tent that was delivered had apparently been stored soiled and wet. The "white" tent/canopy was covered inside and out with splotches of black mold. The chairs were also filthy - among the identifiable substances on the chairs were dried mustard, red wine, and dessicated pickle slices. I paid an additional $100 fee for tent lighting that was to be equipped with dimmer switches - guess what - no dimmers! The only option was to shine glaring, halogen work lights down on our guests. I could go on - for example the condition of the tables etc. - but you get the idea. It's unfortunate that in situations like this the customer has little or no recourse. One either has to accept what is delivered or go without. We (a team of 5 friends and family members) spent hours (of our wedding day) scrubbing down both the tent and 175 chairs with bleach and water in order to provide a sanitary environment for our guests. The guys who delivered the equipment said "You should call and complain about this." We did. Tony and Terry (owner/manager) both assured us how "terribly sorry" they were about our experience. But what would they do about it? NOTHING. Companies like BPTR get away with this because weddings are (with luck and love) once-in-a-lifetime events and they (BPTR) are apparently not concerned about the repeat business. I'm taking the time to write this in the hope that it will warn others what to expect if they choose Broadway Party and Tent Rental for their special day.

We thought, "we don't need a wedding coordinator, we've got this." The venue comes with a day-of…read morecoordinator; they said we didn't really need our own. We hired experienced vendors for a reason. Why would we need a separate coordinator? We needed our own day-of coordinator. Dana was perfect. (Special thanks to our photographer, Adrian Steinbach, for recommending her.) She'd have been an excellent full coordinator if we'd engaged her earlier, but for us, it was great to bring her into the planning ~2-3 months before our wedding. She ended up providing day-of coordination and some bonus last-minute vendor coordination and planning documentation in the several weeks beforehand. She thought of all the little things we wouldn't ever even know to think about. Made sure the aisles were packed at our ceremony. Suggested fair tip amounts/standards and distributed them to vendors day of. Made sure vendors were all in the right place at the right time. Shared planning templates with us. On the day of, we didn't need to worry about anything. We just trusted that Dana would guide us through, and she did wonderfully. As a bonus, she brought in her sister the day of the event for additional support! And she made sure we had safe Hora chairs so we didn't fall off. We trust our vendor team. They do this all the time. We do this once. Trust experts. Put them in a position to take care of you and they will. Dana was fantastic.

Dana was calm and "can-do" and jumped in and did an amazing job of handling the finalizing of our 250 people wedding/dance party. She directed set-up and brought with her a team that handled the prep, decorating, clearing tables, and taking every worry and responsibility off of my groom and me so that we could completely enjoy the fabulous fun! I cannot stress enough how wonderful Dana and her team were. Dana and Keyed Up Events will be my go to for any future large parties/events. She is completely reliable, knows what she is doing, does it perfectly! Thank you Dana & crew! Matt & I cannot thank you enough!

Paul was recommended to us by a friend - he was responsive, a clear communicator, his contract was simple and justified. He took time to understand us and what our vibe was, took care of all the details, made sure everything flowed perfect throughout the evening. We got married at The Whim, and he had great advice on where to place speakers during cocktail hour, the dance floor, etc so that everyone could hear well throughout the night. He honored our playlists we provided for cocktail hour and the dance party while still adding his own flair. He read the dance floor and kept it packed ALL NIGHT. The Sessions photo booth was perfect for what we were looking for and we loved being able to look through them all the next day! You MUST use DJ Sticky for your wedding, you will be in the best hands!!

A little bit about us , we are two gay men who have live in NYC for ten years , we have been to lots of parties , and had high expectations . Here is why we love Maddie Money - Maddy's price is very reasonable even for Minnesota standards- she pretty much paid for herself by saving us thousands of dollars with her long list of A list vendors. From linens , to desserts , to chandeliers. Maddie provided us with the best quality to price ratio. She attended every meeting, every tasting, and served as a liaison if we decided to make changes. Execution- Optimistic and fast, Maddie was sweet as sugar, but don't mistake that for weakness. Maddie has been in the business a long time, she made sure that the vendors were on point, modified timelines, and was prepared for the unexpected. She took the stress away and worked hard to make our wedding a success. Therapist - Maddie was personal and empathetic. She listened to every family drama, annoyance, or groomzilla crises that we went through. Professional yet approachable, Also she would respond to every email and phone call within an hour. Cutting edge As jaded New Yorkers , we had lots of fashion and PR industry patrons attend our reception. Our friends were blown away, by the execution creativity, and visual presentation of our wedding . This was because of Maddie . So in the end she is simply the best , she did exactly what we wanted , anticipated out needs, and kept us calm. If you want to plan a serious wedding that will impress your friends , hire this lady and her amazing team. She's the best in Minnesota and would kill it in NYC.
