We had the unfortunate experience of using these people for a non profit fundraiser. The kids they…read morehad putting our (2) tents together were higher than a kite. And then when they finished, I took these photos to show the ownership the straps weren't even connected, and most of them were broken at that. To no surprise, one of the tents collapsed the day before our event during storms. They did not have parts or a replacement tent. Still charged is for both tents, and blamed us for the storm bringing the one down. Will go out of my way to keep people from dealing with these people. No way these reviews are real. Happy to provide photo evidence upon request.

We recently used Elite Events for the 5th time in the span of one year. The number one thing I…read moreappreciate is their reliability. We never have to worry about them dropping the ball. They also have become our one stop shop for our events, in that they not only offer inflatables, but they offer chairs and tables, face painting, etc. We no longer have to work with multiple companies. Lastly, their staff is easy to work with and are accommodating. From the office staff (Kyle and Jade) to their lead guy on the field (John) to the many workers, face painters, set up crew, workers staffing the inflatables and other products, they excel in customer service. Thank you Elite so very much for making our events successful!

We rented a double dispensing slushie machine. Sue and her husband set up delivery from Highland…read moreto Belleville on Friday afternoon. We started filling it up later that evening and realized we were missing a part to the one dispensing side. I texted Sue and she and her husband drove 40 minutes late on Friday night to bring it to us. That is what I call making it right for the customer. Thank you. we would definitely use your service again if we ever need to rent anything.

Grand Rental Station was the only place I could find an ice caddy with wheels that was big enough…read morefor my event. While it's not necessarily in my backyard of St. Louis County, it's not a wildly far drive over the river. I called and reserved it, picked it up a couple of days later, and returned it on Monday. They're closed on the weekends, but they only charge you for 1 day if you pick something up on Friday. It was easy and everyone was friendly and kind. If you can't find something you need on the Missouri side, I recommend checking them out.

Was throwing my hubby a birthday celebration at home and needed a few tables and chairs. This was…read moremy first time visiting although I've passed the establishment millions of times, I placed a quote online and never got a return call or acknowledgement. When I called the store, the woman answering was very nice, pulled up my quote and educated me on the process. My hubby and I visited the week of. Unfortunately his SUV wasn't large enough to transport the tables and they didn't have delivery available. We borrowed a friend's truck to pick up the items. A mishap occurred when they gave us the wrong chairs which we were able to quickly exchange. The employees were very apologetic and recognized their mistake. My deposit was returned within a week. BTW, Their wedding decor for rent is really unique. Not that I will need that but fellow Yelpers, keep them in mind for your upcoming nuptials!

For a retirement party with 65 guests, we used Gateway Rental and were very pleased! Worked with…read moreBrian who insured we had on time delivery of tables, chairs, chafing dishes, beer key, trash cans and 10 ft tent. He insured we had everything we needed (even threw in some extra chairs!) and picked up promptly after the weekend use. All the items were in very good condition and of course needed some pre-cleaning/wiped down, but that is normal when using rental material. For the price, realiability and punctuality of delivery/pickup, I would highly recommend using Gateway Rental. We were very pleased!!

I had family reunion at my house in Arnold, MO (I don't know why my profile says Boulder, CO and I…read morecan't change it!) and due to weather conditions, decided AT THE LAST MINUTE we needed a tent to protect from rain and heat. I called a few party tent rental places and got quotes that were so expensive we had almost decided against it - and then I called Rent a Tent. On the Wednesday before graduation parties and my reunion started on THURSDAY. (Yes, one day notice). Carl answered the phone immediately, gave me an on-the-spot quote that was so reasonable!!!, invoiced me that day and were on the scene at 8 AM Thursday morning for set-up. Such great communication! We prefer to support family businesses like Carl's, and we could not have been more pleased with the result. They were prompt, courteous, engaging, and funny all through the hard-working process of set-up. The product was exactly what we needed and the set up and tear down process were smooth seamless. Mine was a home party - and I cannot recommend Carl and Rent a Tent of St. Louis more strongly!
