I was having a huge baby shower for my 1st grand, and my original party rental company stopped responding days prior to the event. I was beyond stressed and super pressed for time.
Luckily the owner Edgar answered the phone and agreed to help me, had everything I needed at SUPERBLY FAIR prices compared to dozens I'd spoken to, and he gave me a great referral for other types of rentals that I wanted.
But aye aye aye he almost gave me a stroke cuz he stopped responding too. In his defense we'd been texting, he took care of me and all the arrangements by phone due to my extenuating circumstances; usual business is done onsite at their Gardena location due to the need for accuracy and so many moving parts, and he stays booked & is extremely busy so telephonic just isn't feasible. When we reconnected he assured me that "he had me", I was on the schedule for delivery and not to worry.
His guys arrived 4-5 hrs late to set up the tents in the dark, but they kept in contact and did still show up it rained all that day so my pretty pink draping got dirty, they sloppily pinned the drapes, the seat covers only came in white & I wasn't told prior to but the pink reflected off the tent drapes and made everything look pink anyway, they connected the extension cords to the beautiful chandeliers wrong so we couldn't plug them into the generator that I rented just for that purpose, so at night we were in the dark using cellphone lights; I was super disappointed about that because he has the original classy candelabra chandelier and not that new cheap looking (to me) dangling crystals that most of the other rentals had & I had 4 or so it was going to add the perfect touch to our fairy princess theme...he did not respond to requests to refund either of the unused items, they didn't set up the tables or chairs, idk if they were supposed to, BUT they worked very very hard late into the night actually "sawing" the pipes to fit the tent/drape in our nonstandard sized narrow driveway. And the fact that I could rent green artificial turf and Chiavari Chairs at a fraction of the cost of every other vendor in America offset the short comings.
So once all of my decor filled the space & everything was set up, it was absolutely dreamy and no one noticed a thing! Every single guest was in awe, said it was the most beautiful shower they'd ever been to and I was well pleased.
So even though they were not "perfect", they were perfect for me & stood out amongst many. Edgar @ Ocotlan will truly try to accommodate you, come through in the clutch and save you in the process. Our event was next level gorgeous and I will definitely use Ocotlan again and I recommend them to anyone with caviar taste on a king crab budget because they're NOT cheap, just not raping you! You will feel like you got your moneys worth. Thank you Edgar for making my daughters especially blessed perfect day possible read more
