I initially called Mainely Events to see if they had or could recommend a balloon installer for a shower that I was throwing. After briefly talking with Liz, I ended up hiring them to execute and rent all the decor for the event. Liz was outstanding, she listened to my initial thoughts on what I envisioned and ran with it to create the most magical day for my friend's bridal shower! The linens, balloons, and party decor were executed flawlessly! I cannot praise her team enough. The mother-of-the-bride and bride were so impressed! Thank you again Liz for all of your help!

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!

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.

I tried to use their online booking to rent a bounce house for my twins' birthday parties. It…read morelooked great all the way to the end. 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.

I originally met this business when we were sharing space in a business park about 10 years ago…read more This is a family-run business and it's all hands on deck when party season is in full swing. I've watched, first hand, this couple use their business to teach their children how to run a business and be responsible. It turns out they also live a couple doors down from me, so I always get to see them testing new inflatables and sanitizing them after a weekend of rentals. Last year I rented a Pirate Ship for my nephew (*cough* myself *cough) for our combined birthday party. It was an absolute blast. Jeff, Rebekah and the kids set it up, showed us how to use it, and took the time to go over the paperwork and usual safety stuff with us. We had family and friends over to play. My 65 year old mother was in the bounce house right alongside her 8 year old grandson. The worst part of this whole experience was watching the bounce house leave! I've read the other reviews and here's what I have to say to them - 1) This is a family-run business. They have policies, including exclusivity agreements. 2) If you had an issue with the online check-out, rather than assuming they're trying to fleece you, first question if there's a glitch. ***Pick up the phone and call them.*** Have a conversation and see what's going on or what they're willing to do to work with you. Leaving a negative review online, simply because you didn't take the time to investigate further is on you, not them. I highly recommend this company because it's local, the service is great, the people are great, and the experience is great. 5 stars. SHOP LOCAL!

Their pricing is very reasonable and they were professional and friendly to work with. The guests especially the kids loved the booth and the photos. Their digital system worked very well and the option to select black and white or color along was a nice touch. We really enjoyed customizing the backdrop and adding our wedding logo to the sheets. They came out just how we wanted. It's a great deal to have unlimited print outs and they even go the extra mile and put together a nice photo book for you to take home, which was great to see after the wedding. The photos are also made quickly available online to view or download. The props were fun and there was a nice selection of things to add to the fun for the evening. We can definitely recommend them to anyone needing a photo booth for an event in Maine to Boston!
