I feel this company exceeds expectations and offers fair pricing and GREAT PRODUCT! Tierr RSD Dance Studio

Started calling 3 weeks out from th date and finally able to speak with someone. Spoke with this young lady no less than 6 times over 3 weeks Trying to confirm we had a tank with the propane burner (we were having a clam bake and steaming about 2,000 clams). She said she was pretty sure but she would confirm with Daryl. Welp, day of delivery came and no tank. I called and Daryl said for that price did you really expect a tank. I was like, am I in the business? Do I know rental prices. I told him forget it. I would go buy a tank. He said no he would get one there early before 10 am. Tank showed up at 12:33 pm. Yup! Chairs were filthy and had to be sprayed off with a hose and all wiped down. Tent was not tight and had sections at 5 foot 5 my wife had to duck down to walk under. If it had rained we would have had a tent pooling water in 3 corners as they were terribly set. Daryl made the comment about the tank, if I get one there would I give him a good review. Now I see why. His business is deplorable. Worst rental company I have ever used. I would pay $400 more than what I paid for better service. Never again. Able Smith is horrible!!!

Do not use Friendly Party Rentals if you actually want your rental products for your event. I had a…read morewedding in June 2026 and booked with Nicole of Friendly Party Rentals in January 2026 to ensure that we would have the things we needed (table, chairs, tent, games, beverage dispenser, etc.), as it was over father's day weekend which also aligns with many graduation parties. I confirmed via email that we were set for delivery the week of the wedding and got a response from Nicole that we were confirmed on their schedule for delivery and pick-up. The day of the event arrives and Friendly Party Rentals does not show up at the agreed time. I call, leave a message, and about an hour after they were supposed to be there, get a call back from Nicole. Nicole shares that there was some "confusion" about what day our rentals were supposed to be delivered since it was a multi-day rental. Then she tells me that they had a driver quit mid-shift and that is why the rentals were not delivered. I informed her that I still needed the tables/chairs/tent/etc. as I had people arriving ina few hours for the wedding weekend. She stated that she would call me back in 10-15 minutes to see what they could do. After multiple calls back to Nicole, she eventually called me back at 6:00p when the event was starting, told me that they would not be able to deliver the rentals and that she didn't have a solution. I informed her that we had to go to multiple stores to quickly buy tables and chairs so that we would have a place to have dinner, and that if she could get the tent and other supplies there the next day for the actual wedding that would be fine. After more excuses and the run around, I asked if there was a supervisor that I could speak to to figure things out, which Nicole was not open to and stated that she was the one to make any business decisions. As this was a stressful experience, on my wedding weekend, I became frustrated with Nicole's lack of care or empathy with the situation and she hung up the phone. My sister was eventually able to go a hold of Nicole again, who stated that I became "irate" and that they have a "company policy to not deal with people in that state". Nicole eventually agreed to a refund (as a "courtesy")of the tables and chairs since they were not needed, since we had to buy our own last minute, but that she would get the tent and other supplies delivered the next morning by 8:30a. At 8:30a on my wedding day, I get an automated email with a refund of the remaining rentals with no call, text, or email from Nicole with an explanation. After multiple attempts to get a hold of Friendly Party Rentals or Nicole, we were not successful and assumed that they were not coming, which was the case. I've waited to write my review due to seeing other people having similar issues that weekend and the following weekend and didn't want to add to the negativity, but after watching the google reviews and seeing some of the shady ways that Nicole is hiding the bad reviews and only having Google show the positive reviews, I felt it was time to add in my experience. Renters beware- Friendly Party Rentals will leave you high and dry on the day of with no care or solutions. I'm only giving 2 stars so that people actually see my review.

YELP should allow "ZERO Stars", because that is an honest review for Friendly Party Rental LLC in…read moreMinoa, NY. I contracted with them for a 7/3/26 event. We paid as required, received delivery reminders including the day before, and were told they would contact us when they were on their way for our 11:00am - 11:30am delivery window. At 11:25am, I decided to call as I hadn't heard anything and there was no answer, which was typical anytime I tried to call. Only email communication seemed to work. At 11:35am I receive an email, not a call, but an EMAIL to say they could not deliver due to a "staffing emergency and extreme heat." There was no owner/manager contact, no alternative solution, and no option for us to pick up. When my husband and son-in-law went to the business, it was dark, no one was there and the delivery truck was parked out in front, with no sign of an emergency noted. A refund was issued, but it had been submitted at 9:42am, well before we were notified of the cancellation, which would have given us more time to adjust. Recent reviews show other customers had the same experience in the same week! The lack of communication and accountability ruined important events for several customers, not just me! I will be reporting this business to the Better Business Bureau and strongly caution anyone to contract with them! In addition, multiple positive reviews have appeared this morning with high ratings and appear to be questionable, as a couple of them have the same name as the owner, which was able to be verified using a simple web search of the LLC. **PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE I POSTED ON GOOGLE AND CALLED THIS OUT, ONE REVIEW WAS DELETED. Honest customers deserve better and should not support a dishonest business!
