We rented a tent and several tables and chairs for a graduation open house. Delivery was fine,…read moreexcept that the tables are all cobbled together, and the tent was patched in several places. The problem came when they came to pick up the equipment. The crew did not check with me before entering my fenced in back yard. And despite my going out and telling them to use the side gate to our fence, which is wider to accommodate the tent, they continued to use the front gate, which was in the process of being repaired. When I went out to tell them again, the person who said he was in charge told me he couldn't understand me, and from his appearance I'm guessing English is not his first language, but it seemed more derogatory than just that because he seemed to speak English just fine in his response to me. Because of their negligence, now I have a further damaged gate, that could've been avoided if, instead of just going into my backyard without permission, they had just checked with me first. So, given the low quality of Equiptment, the crew, and the damage, I cannot recommend Party Time Rental.

We had another great experience with Party Time Rentals…read more We have used them previously, for a much larger, annual (July 3rd and 4th) community festival we are involved in, and they came through for us again. This most recent experience was for a Holiday Crafts Bazaar for our small business. Their prices were great, made some really good suggestions and they came through for us on short notice. The table linens and back drop they provided made us look good and set us apart from the other vendors. Their people were knowledgeable and great to work with. They nailed it! Thanks Party Time Pauk S

Talk about A-1 service - this company is amazing. I contacted them on a Monday for a Celebration…read moreof Life for my husband, for that coming Sunday. Thankfully, they had a tent available, I also got tables and chairs and a big fan, all for under $.800.00. Rob was very quick to respond and provide a cost. I couldn't believe it... it was half the cost of a quote from Hoosier Tent, and their quote $1400.00 didn't have a fan. Tip Top came out Thursday and very quickly had it set up exactly where I wanted it. Keep in mind, I had to have the table and chairs set up myself (took me and a friend all of 45 minutes to do it). When it was time for them to pick up the tent, they moved like ninja's (LOL), I came downstairs Monday morning to find it was all gone. Perfecto! You can't go wrong with this company. Thank you to Rob & his team.

I got married in a brewery, and the one thing I knew when we decided to hold both our wedding and…read morereception in the rather grey, sparse space was that I was going to need to adorn the venue with pieces that would bring about elegance and make an impact. I liked vintage, but nothing that said "shabby chic" or "barn wedding". Further, I didn't have the craftiness or patience in me to be a thrift store-hunting, DIY bride, which I why it made the most sense to rent. I can't recall how I stumbled upon Violet Vintage's website, but looking through their inventory, I knew they were worth a phone call. I worked with Megan, who set up an appointment for me to come look at their full inventory. Let me tell you: the website only gives you a sliver of Violet Vintage's inventory. The warehouse is astonishing with all of the beautiful antique pieces. I ended up renting WAY more items than I had anticipated including platters, stained glass windows, lamps, doors, vases, candelabras, and an old ice chest. Every item helped me transform the brewery into the elegant space I was looking for. To the brides looking for a vintage, elegant feel (or a garden party, or shabby chic, or rustic), I can't recommend Violet Vintage enough. Make an appointment to see their inventory, and I guarantee you'll find the pieces that will make your wedding special.

I love the concept behind this business. You order online, choose the style that best suits your party, provide details and ta-da! It is delivered, set up and picked up. So easy and stress free! I have used Brooke's services for Thanksgiving and Christmas and each time I have been blown away by the service and beautiful table settings that I have been provided with. I have received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful everything looked. Brooke, the owner is wonderful to work with and has such an amazing eye for style and attention to detail. Her website is very user friendly and has many styles to choose from. She answers in a timely manner and offers great suggestions. I am so surprised that this business does not have more reviews! I would recommend this business to everyone as I have received great consistent service each time. I will give her my business as long as I can. Thank you Brooke!

I visited Black Iris Estate as a wedding guest, and I was impressed. And guess what: Black Iris…read moreEstate has a very large basement! How do I know this? Because I and the several dozen other people attending the wedding plus the staff got to visit the basement because there was a tornado warning in the area, and we all had to seek shelter. Whee! The staff at Black Iris were pros, though, and made sure everyone was safe and calm. They made a stressful situation into a (kinda) fun situation that everyone will remember forever. Anyway, the basement is large, but so is the rest of the space! And it's beautiful and tastefully decorated, with lots of antiques and mirrors. We never really got to go outside because the wedding was happening during severe weather, but from that little I saw, the grounds were beautiful too. Also, the food here was some of the best food I've had at a wedding. I'm not sure if the food was from an outside caterer or what, but I want to say that it was in-house. And the open bar was nice, too, and the bartenders were quick and generous. I enjoyed myself as a wedding guest at this place. It was classy but comfortable!

I recently got married here and was unfortunately disappointed with the experience…read more The day of the ceremony, it was raining. the venue had umbrellas and told me there would be no problem setting up in the rain. however 1 hour before the ceremony, my coordinator told me that my DJ wanted to move the ceremony inside. On the flip side the DJ was pointing fingers at the venue- all of this causing unnecessary confusion and frustration to my family and I. I did use the venue's preferred DJ vendor. To make matters worse, I had paid for the prosecco truck to provide prosecco to my guests prior to the ceremony and this was not able to be moved to the front of the building to accommodate the new plans. My guests were still served the prosecco, but it felt like the cost of the truck ($1000) went completely to waste. During the ceremony, as I was about to walk out with my dad, the music stopped entirely. My guests reported that my DJ was being verbally unprofessional, using profanity. He ran out to my dad and I apologized, however I did not get to walk down the aisle with my chosen song, as his laptop froze... and had no back up. When we got to the dinner, the plated food was not the same meal from the tasting. I ordered the chicken with whiskey sauce, which was supposed to come with their "famous" carrot soufle, and it was not on the plate. This was annoying, but the food was still good. As far as the bar goes, I let my coordinator know that many of the guests enjoy vodka and tequila soda and to prioritize that on the bar. Twice, the bar ran out of club soda. The pricing was also very odd for special bottles. We were charged about 3x the normal price for the bottles, which I had assumed to be the case (similar to ordering at restaurants etc) however my dad was charged an additional 30% service fee for his bottles, that my mom was not charged for her bottles. we also did a late snack, and wanted order from chick-fil-a. Price transparency here and honestly for the alcohol were just absent. They make you place your order through them and they charge about 400% increase in price. I got 4 large trays of chicken nuggets and it was $3,300. When I went to chick-fil-a website to order, it was around $800 for the nuggets and sauces. Barf. I felt like this should have been disclosed when I brought up the idea. it was not. but it's their job to make money off you. I sent them an email with constructive feedback and kindly asked for money back regarding the issues above, namely the ceremony as this was the most important part of the day, and have not received anything back from my coordinator. As a bride, I am frustrated with the amount of money I spent here for the day to go perfectly, and it did not. Therefore, I simply cannot recommend this venue.

Cash & Carry Paper is one of Indy's true indie gems. Located by the railroad tracks right as you…read moreleave downtown Indy on East New York Street, Cash & Carry Paper has been around and within the Corsaro/Moss family since they first bought it in 1962. It has been in various locations including 32 years at 602 East Washington Street. Cash & Carry Paper has a 33,000-square foot warehouse and a 4,000-square foot showroom. They are local, do not ship, and do deliver within the Indy area. You can also browse online. I drive by Cash & Carry nearly every day since I take East New York Street on my way home. I was immediately intrigued because they have a huge and very nicely ramp done at their front door (I'd imagine it's as much about carrying supplies, but for a wheelchair user it's also pretty great). If it's paper, there's a pretty good chance that Cash & Carry Paper carries it and there's a pretty good chance their pricing is going to meet or beat mosf the places that you'll think of to get things like cutlery, napkins, plastic ware, decorations, bowls, office supplies, and a myriad of other things. Seasonal items are plentiful here and this place offers great prices for wedding needs (Okay, I've actually heard this. I'm old. I'm tired. I'm perpetually single.). Employees are always friendly here - in fact, it was because a friend was dating someone from here that I finally visited Cash & Carry and came to regard it as a "go to" option for paper goods. While the hours don't always work best for me (7am-5p, M-F), it's worth the extra effort because I'm truly supporting local while also getting great customer service and prices. While the neighborhood is a mixture of up-and-coming and economically challenged, I've never had any issues here and Cash & Carry is in a good location being next to the railroad tracks. If you're doing special events, have a wedding, have a gathering, or whatever, there's simply no place else I would check first. While they focus on paper, like nearly any other paper company they offer a wide range of similarly-themed products including janitorial supplies. Honestly, rather than trying to list all the supplies - go to their website and check it out for yourself. Truly, Cash & Carry is an Indy gem and one of the best options I've found for paper goods in this area. I'll easily check here first before ever heading over to one of the chain options.
