Every October my Greek church holds the Greek Festival. It is a large event that requires numerous rented items, and all of it comes from Walker Lewis Rents. They are wonderful to work with! They help us with our large order, let us know when all of the many items will be delivered, set up, and then returned to pick up everything. The service is professional, friendly and extremely efficient. Our festival needs can be a challenge but Mark and his capable team handle our complicated order with ease. All of them are amazing! We love working with Walker Lewis Rents for all of our events. read more

I used Walker-Lewis for my small intimate wedding ceremony. It was during Covid so I had to have a backyard ceremony. However, I still wanted something elegant and memorable for the rest of my life. So I decided to get the cabanas instead of a tent for a better presentation. At first I thought the cabanas were a little pricey but after installation they looked beautiful and were worth it. The drop off and pick up process was extremely easy. Paying the invoice was easy. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because when they hammered down the cabanas they broke a pipe for my sprinkler system. I called them to let them know and they told me to email them and they would be in contact. I sent an email and never heard from them or got a call back. I got tired of waiting and ended up fixing it on my own. I didn't have time to go back and forth with them and keep bugging them or else I would have. But I found it very unprofessional for them to not follow up with me. I should give 3 starts. But in all honesty they have great rentals... just need to work on customer satisfaction and maybe some type of deals for return customers or customer referrals. read more

So I was looking for a dance floor. Did my quote online. The rep from walker lewis sent me like 4 different emails asking different questions. To me if you have good customer service you should pick up phone and speak to customer and ask all questions you need to determine my needs. So after the fifth email I get a quote of $1200. Online my quote said $450 plus shipping. Literally double from online. Then I ask then to call me back to go over quote. Of course I'm not happy. So I ask to speak to a manager. Apparently no manager on-site and to say the least I'm still waiting for a call back. This was almost a week and a half ago. Bad customer Service in my book. I was able to find my dance floor else where same size and price I was looking for. #joronco rentals. read more

Last minute rental; I mean 3 pm Friday for my Saturday party. They couldn't deliver, but allowed me to pay over phone. When arrived, staff outside waiting with 6 tables, 70 chairs, and 4 cocktail tables. They loaded it all quickly. I don't know how they fit it all in my truck. Because when I returned it on Monday, I needed two vehicles. They were awesome!!! read more

Walker-Lewis Rents - 6 round tables, 70 chairs, 4 cocktail tables!!! - Party Equipment Rentals Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Save yourself some money & a work load. Got these horrible wooden tables when I asked for plastic. They are patched up with duck tape and you'll still get splinters handling them. The chairs are disgustingly dirty! How is this okay? I mean I get this is for a backyard bbq baby shower but WOW! The delivery fee is also outrageous for the crappy quality of their rental items. Just steer clear of this company. You're welcome. read more

Hi guys. Today is my daughter's first birthday party and I just found out that you never showed up to deliver the tables, chairs, and linens I gave you my credit card info for earlier in the week. I am currently scrambling this morning to find a way to seat 50 people at our event which starts in 3 hours. Thank you for the unneeded stress and worry I am currently going through. I never write yelp reviews if service is less than 5 stars because I feel it is bad karma, but I am beyond upset right now. I have used you guys many times and have referred you to several of my brides in the past. Unfortunately I cannot do that with good conscience anymore. This would have been a call rather than a complaint via Yelp but you guys are closed today. ‍ read more

Rented table linens for my daughters 4:00 pm wedding. We told walker Lewis we needed them delivered at 11:00 am so our vendors could do the table centerpieces, cake table could be completed etc. I called at 12:00 pm because the linens were not at the venue yet and people were waiting to set up. I was told by the lady answering the phone, our wedding is at 4:00 they will be there before 4. I explained we requested they be delivered at 11:00. I was told my 75 dollars deliver and pick up fee didn't guarantee a specific time drop off, I would have had to pay another 30 to guarantee they were there at 11:00. Needless to say they closed so we had no update/idea when our linens would arrive. We finally got the linens delivered at 3:00. Thankful for family and responsible vendors who stuck around to quickly set up the venue 30 minutes before the door opened. After the wedding I asked the venue manager where I should leave the linens for Walker Lewis to pick up and I was told I couldn't leave them because walker Lewis had not prearranged the pick up and there was another event the next day. I had to take my 24 table clothes and 150 napkins home with me and take them back to walker Lewis Monday morning. Walker Lewis did refund my deliver fee and refunded me an additional 10% however I am more concerned about the customer service and the complete LACk Of compassion or concern we received from the sales rep Saturday when we called because our over priced linens were not delivered as promised. I will not be renting from walker Lewis again and I will make sure to let others know not to utilize this company. read more

I rented some linens for a holiday party which was supposed to be 12/4. I picked the linens up at 4pm on 12/3. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we have decided that it's unsafe to ask our employees to drive several hours to have this party. Therefore, we've decided to move the party to the 16th of December. I called Walker Lewis Rents as soon as they opened at 9am today. I explained the situation and told them that I haven't used or soiled or even opened the linens, and I can bring them back right now (as opposed to tomorrow, when they are due). I asked if we could move the rental agreement to the 16th, which I suspected was a long shot, or at least, would we be eligible for a discount to re-rent the linens for the 16th. They said, it's Walker Lewis's policy that they wouldn't do a thing for me, even in this situation. I told them that's unfortunate because it's really poor customer service. In fact, even if they had offered me a 20% discount for re-renting on the 16th, I would not be writing this review. I haven't used the linens, they don't have cleaning costs or anything, and I was offering to bring them back a whole day early. Although I didn't rent these linens through my company name, we do a lot of rental business with them. We will be finding a new rental vendor. I have half a mind to take all the table clothes out, throw them in the wet gutter and ball them up, bringing them back in a trash bag so they have to pay the cleaning fee. But I probably won't. :-) Sometimes companies really have short sighted customer service policies. It would have cost them $10 to give me a 20% discount, and I would have been a happy, satisfied customer. But because they refused to do a single thing for me, now they've lost a customer for life. Very silly, Walker Lewis! Very Silly! Update 12/9/19: I had to update my review from 1 to 4 stars... Zach reached out to me and made it right by discounting my second order. I can see that the heart of Walker Lewis is to give good service, and just because one person didn't know how to do that, doesn't mean that's their company's spirit. So thank you to Zach for reaching out and making my experience better. I appreciate that a lot. read more

Update...if there was a 0 Star rating, this would be it. The day of the wedding, WLR never set up the wedding arches and each piece was scattered on the ceremony lawn and dirty; AND even after I and the venue coordinator told the set up crew to NOT place a tent post or ANYTHING to block the wedding pathway (Of which they apparently have done before) they said no, they won't, they went ahead and did anyway and placed fire extinguishers on them. Yes it's fire code......but I guess they couldn't place them on one of the OTHER 10 poles. There employees lack of common sense is astounding. Venue coordinator, I and the bride was livid. They were called back out to fix this. We had to make the Ceremony area ready so WE, the bridal party had to set up these 12 foot and DIRTY arches. No cleaning was going to get the stains out. We wrapped them in tulle to make it less noticeable. When they arrived to "fix" their lack of common sense and inability to listen to direction mess, the supv. Just could figure out why we were all so upset. Even after everyone aired their grievance, he tried to culp a defense stating that the guys setting up probably didn't know where to set them up. Well, maybe they should have asked AGAIN, since we told them before. We were there next to them as we rehearsed for the wedding. Then the supv. Mark said to me, "you're upset just because of arches that weren't set up and a post in the middle of the aisle." Really? Would you be upset if it was YOUR daughters wedding? And the topper, Mark said that even though I PAID for the rental, their contract was with the venue. WRONG! I walked into their business and made the arrangements and SIGNED the contract AND paid the Rental fees. The venue coordinators name was only on there as a contact IF I cannot be reached. Mark couldn't say much after that and said he "thought" the venue contracted this. Maybe if your read the contract and noticed who signed it then maybe you were actually WRONG and own up to the mistakes instead of trying to make excuses. I should be given a 50% refund for the aggravation of which the CONTRACT SIGNER shouldn't have had to go through. Save time, money, and aggravation. Rent elsewhere. read more

We received great service from Zachary and the entire team with our recent rental order. WL rents really met our needs and delivered it with ease. We needed to make some last minute adjustments and Zachary was very accommodating. Delivery and setup was wonderful and the crew was very nice. We look forward to future opportunities working with Zachary and his team. read more

Went to Walker Lewis for my daughters wedding rentals and Whitney was our rep! She is awesome! Helped is pick everything and called venue to see about deliveries truly professional gal she is! Need rentals -- see Whitney she's great read more

Zach Rabanal, Walker-Lewis's On Site Event Coordinator is truly a blessing. We hired WL for my bridal shower and my wedding. My bridal shower was the most beautiful shower I could ever dreamt of. It was a surprise shower and my fiancé and mother told me Zach showed up and made sure everything was perfect before I arrived. He is so punctual, professional and so easy to work with. WL has an amazing staff with him alone. My wedding was no different. Zach transformed the hall, better than my expectations. He even helped with my bustle when it was an emergency. Two of the most special days of my life were a fairytale because of the hard work Zach personally put in. Im so grateful we had Zach every step of the way and for WL for the rentals they provided. read more

I'm shocked. Upon walking in, we were not greeted and were met with confused faces. I proceeded to ask the lady at the front desk if I was able to walk around and see the linen options. She nodded yes. We were never approached and had to walk back to her desk to ask questions. At her desk I asked about other items I was interested in renting and she gave me their prices. I had to ask her to show me photos. All in all, we as customers were expected to initiate all conversations there. The workers here today were either without knowledge of their product or have a very poor definition of customer service. 6-4-18 at 10:30am read more

Since my review in Feb 2019, The owner Mark Ramkey has reached out to me and has personally helped me with the quote I needed thru email and many revisions. I ended up going thru him for my wedding table linens and had a great experience from start to finish. I appreciate you reaching out to me directly to fix the issue. read more

Horrible! It took them an hour to bring me 40 chairs. The guy that bought them out was a know it all, couldn't count, and moved like a turtle. read more

Terrible customer service after our payment is made. Ordered table and chairs for a memorial event at our house. Wanted it at 10am on Friday they did not show up until 4:30 pm. Pick up was worse wanted pickup at 0800 on Monday was told they were to busy picking up other things. I pushed off until Tues got a call at 330 pm see if the could come at 430 to get returns. I agreed and it is now 5 pm and they still have not showed. Get it together walker Lewis... read more

This was my first time renting from this company. I rented farm tables, chairs, linens, plates, silverware, etc. for a wedding. They were easy to work with, responsive and provided great customer service. My only complaint is I rented the wedding white folding chairs for guests during the ceremony. The chairs are pretty beat up. We had to wipe them all down as there was rust and other stains on them. I would recommend they replace those chairs or provide current pics on their websites so people know what they'll be getting. Everything else looked great and just like the pics on their website. I would rent from them again. read more

Walker Lewis never disappoints. I had to have them deliver for a rental in Tehachapi. Love the new app that lets you know when they will be arriving for delivery. The guys were super nice and very accommodating of where to drop my stuff. The office staff always is so nice. Love that I can handle a lot of my orders over the phone. read more

This was my very first time renting from Walker-Lewis Rents and I am really disappointed in the quality of the chairs. Missing wood splinters and one of the backs was broken we got them for a wedding. read more

Largest selection in Bakersfield & outside surrounding areas! If they don't carry something with enough notice they can get it! Sales staff is knowledgeable & friendly. They also give great referrals for caterers, dj's, florists, bakeries, event planners & bar service. If you haven't given them a try please do! read more

This is indeed the place to rent most things for your event in Bakersfield and the surrounding area. They have everything, well with the exception of a margarita machine. I know this because their warehouse, where I easily returned my table linens after my party, was HUGE and packed with all sorts of stuff. I will say that ordering on the phone was easy. I spoke with a very friendly girl who knew what she was talking about. Even though I didn't have the exact dimensions of my tables, she was able to pick which linens would fit the tables and be best. Very helpful! 7 large, black, simple linens ran around $70 for the weekend. We were able to pick up on Friday. And, anyone could pick up and use their credit card. What irks me, and why only the 3 stars...my mom tried to add ONE additional table cloth to the order, since she was the one picking up. However, they said she would have to create a whole new order. However, they will let her pick up and pay, even though the order was under my name?! Makes no sense. Add one more linen. Take our business. I just think this policy is funky. I went back and returned on Monday. You have until 5pm to make your returns from the weekend. Other than that, no complaints. Easy pick up and drop off and the largest selection in town. read more

Poor quality and overpriced , I will never rent from them again. Their tables and chairs are in horrible condition. The chairs were dirty and some of them were wobbly. The linens I rented were different sizes and some of them had tears. There is a charge for damage but everything looks damaged. Worst experience. Please invest more time getting quotes from others, this place is not worth your time and money. read more

Not impressed VERY EXPENSIVE AND VERY RUDE! All the staff here are extremely disorganized and don't give Any discounts out!

They have a great selection of products, and reasonable prices. I called a few times to reserve some items for my wedding, and the staff was very knowledgable and friendly. read more

It's very clear from the quality of the reasonably priced items that they are pushing their much more expensive couture line. The $12.50 bar stools are so scratched and wobbly that they look like they came from Goodwill. I am embarrassed for my guests to sit on these. I wish the saleslady had warned me how cheap and rickety they were. Really irritating to pay good money for what looks like garage sale junk. read more

The week before last we decided to have a family barbecue. We do this 2 to 3 maybe even four times a year. When we do we rent tables and chairs from Walker Lewis Rents. I called them and ordered 3 8 foot plastic tables as well as six chairs. When I placed the order I was told there was a 45 day cancellation policy and that since I was just ordering two weeks in advance I was already in that cancellation time. I thought that's odd. They immediately charged my visa even though we would not pick up the tables or chairs for more than a week. Then when my son went to pick up the tables they didn't have any more plastic and wanted to substitute wood. My son complained because of the weight difference so they said they would take one of the tables back and we would only be charged for two. After returning the tables I called for a refund for one of the tables and was told I would have to talk to the corporate office. You would think the refund would be automatic but apparently not at Walker Lewis Rents. I finally got disgusted and told the young lady that I could resolve this by just never renting from them again. Beware of Walker Lewis Rents. read more

I organized a party for my sister and rented everything from here. There was a slight hiccup in the beginning, but the manager, Kenda, took over and did a wonderful job with everyone. She was very friendly, helpful and professional. I live out of town, so I had to coordinate everything via email or over the phone. She sent me pictures of all my options, updated invoices and helped me take care of all the details for the party (I'm sure I drove her nuts after awhile). She was awesome. The party was absolutely gorgeous. I ordered the tables, chairs, umbrellas, linens, dishes, and cutlery from them. Everything was delivered the day before the party and picked up the following Monday. Dispatch and called to tell me they were on their way, which was very helpful with coordinating everything. Prices were very reasonable and everything was in great condition and well organized. I definitely recommend them and would use them again for future events. read more

Have used WL now for personal kids parties, pops ups, chairs, tables, cotton candy machine, and Abo cone machine. Great experience. Everything was super clean, ready when they said it would be to be delivered, and best of all, I didn't have to clean anything up when finished. Also have used them for an adult dinner party with fine china, etc and that was also so easy on delivery and clean up. Can't imagine how many hours saved here doing clean up, dishes, and organization. The Best!! read more

I don't use any other company for my rentals. The quality of their rentals are the best and the people are great to work with. I always work with Kenda, but everyone there is super helpful. They have most anything for a great party. read more

When it comes to event rentals, the easier the better. Called in the reserve tables and within 5 minutes my order was complete. Upon pickup, it took a few minutes to find my order and then I just drive around back and they loaded it up for me. Very conveniently let me return my Saturday rental on following Monday before closing. Just drove around back and they unloaded it for me as well. Friendly service, very helpful staff. Lots of inventory! read more

My friend had the worst experience with this company. She tried renting several items and when they arrived, they were in such bad condition she didn't even use them for her event. The tables were so splintered they could not be used, and one table could not even stand. In addition, some of the chairs weren't usable and the water pitchers were broken. I highly recommend using a different vendor. read more

Walker Lewis has an amazing selection of rentals for any occasion. We have used them for small parties to huge events and they always offer the same professional attention to detail. They are prompt and courteous with delivery and pick up. The staff knows their product well and will help you make the right decision for the event for which you need rentals! read more

We have used Walker Lewis several times and they have never let us down. Their rental equipment is maintained in good order (unlike some rental companies) and they met our deadlines perfectly! Very friendly and accomadating! read more

Yesterday this business has a big sale selling all their old supply .I'm a single mother of 3 on a limited income ,and I was very happy to buy one of their table sets for a great price but when I got home with my new table it fell apart..it was all broken underneath and had wood glue all over to hold it together my kids were saddened and very disappointed...I can't believe this company would take advantage of customers like this. read more

I used Walker Lewis for my wedding. I rented a huge tent that fit 400 people. Zach, the rep from walker lewis, was great. Always returned my calls, helped me out with sizing and changes without a problem. A big issue was the quality of the tent. The roof was nice and taught, but the wall sidings looked like wrinkled plastic bed sheets that a 5 year old put together. Luckily I had lighting inside the tent so once it became dark you weren't able to notice the hideous walls, until you went outside. I also ordered heaters and they didn't work! Luckily I had my wedding cordinator-Fairygodmother- after many attempts finally reached someone from walker lewis, which was difficult since they were closed, but finally the heaters were turn on towards the end of the wedding. read more

Office staff egnored me for 10 minutes, finally a man came from the back helped me. The warehouses staff is great. The maybe if I had a dress on I would have been helped sooner. read more

I used WL for my wedding and I cannot say enough great things about them. I worked personally with Romy but all the staff was nice when I would call. Romy went out of her way to show me options and never got irritated if I wanted to change something. WL was easy to get ahold of and would match prices if an item was cheaper someplace else. It was just easy to work with them and I so appreciate it! Thanks Romy and WL for making my wedding beautiful!!!!!! read more

I highly recommend going to see Stef at Walker Lewis Rents. She was extremely helpful when we were determining what we needed for our Daughter's baby shower. Her recommendations were spot on. The guests raved about the "look" Stef helped us achieve. read more
