    I was extremely impressed with Leanne and Susan before our wedding day and it was only amplified during the day.

I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.

It's not just his talent with super fun and surprising balloon characters but his adaptive nature and outstanding personality, engaging everyone at the parties/events. I would absolutely recommend him for all types of occasions : private or big birthday parties, festivals, block parties, - anywhere there will be children!! He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

    The real reason that my September wedding became a dream was simply from all the beautiful things I…read morerented from erasistable. Not only was I able to find treasures I loved but then Julie helped me so much with different options and really listened to what my theme was and never was pushy. The prices are beyond fair and the quality of the items she has is wonderful. Trust me each little detail was perfect and just made the day! I can't recommend a vendor more!

    Where do I begin to explain and justify what an amazing person Julie Stark and her associates are?…read more My husband and I first me Julie about 9 months before our wedding. I originally contacted Julie at Erasistable Vintage Rentals for a quote on vintage, mis-matched, dinnerware for our wedding. My husband and I wanted to select local vendors from the western suburbs since our wedding was to be in Wheaton and the reception in Plainfield. From the moment we met with Julie she was so kind, helpful, and eager. She also understood the type of wedding and atmosphere we sought which was a breath of fresh air when everyone around us through we were crazy or didn't understand our vision. We later decided to ask Julie and her associate Pat to help with day of coordination services. Little did we know what we were signing up for when we made that decision! To our surprise, Julie would check in on us from time to time to see how we were doing, what we needed help with, and was all too eager to put us in touch with other local vendors for services we still required. Although our wedding was an intercultural wedding with elements from both Indian Hindu and American Christian customs, Julie was professional and open-minded to all our ideas in respect to incorporating the various cultural aspects my husband and I both wanted. Throughout our working relationship the three of us came to know and trust each other and I couldn't have asked for anymore, nor did I ever anticipate such a beautiful friendship would develop as a result. Julie is such a caring person and it shows in everything she does. From the extra little details and fancy touches she brought to the overall atmosphere of the day, to providing gentle direction and guidance when we weren't sure where to go, to helping us think of things that weren't even on our radar, to bringing bakery treats over to our families' homes on the day of the wedding, to holding my hand and saying a prayer for me on the morning of the wedding as I tried to recover from food poising the night before; we could not have found a better person and company to work with. Words cannot begin to explain the joy and gratitude we have for all our experiences working with Erasistables Vintage Rentals and their additional coordination services. If you choose to work with Julie and the team you will have a dedicated ally on your side at all times and you will never regret nor forget your experience.

    Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more! Appetizers Selected: Mac & Cheese Bites, Bacon Wrapped Dates w Honey Citrus Sauce, Cocktail Meatballs, Bruschetta Bar Salad Selected: Mixed Field Greens w Pears, Goat Cheese, Pear Infused Vinaigrette. *Alts: Candied Walnuts & Second Balsamic Dressing to offer Dinner Selections: 1. Filet w Red Wine Demi Sauce, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, & Asparagus 2. Garlic & Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Vodka Sauce w Bowtie Noodles, & Grilled Veggies 3.

We received a confirmation call the day before telling us what time delivery would be - sometime around 7am. They weren't kidding! Hubs woke up at 6:45am and they were already in our driveway waiting. Delivery was smooth, setup of the inflatable went well. We had to set up our own tables and chairs - not a big deal. They showed up promptly at 8pm to pick everything up (boooo hooooo). Can't wait for our party next year!

I picked up the chairs and the warehouse guys helped load them into my car, unload, etc. But then recently, I inquired about renting tables, chairs and linens for a bridal shower. First, their contact us form on their website wasn't working - some issue with the captcha. So I tried emailing with my request and questions about table options. I waited for days, and then I got an anonymous text with a couple of questions in return. So I'd respond, and then days would go by where I wouldn't hear anything again. I called several times and left messages, then I got another text a couple of days later. Finally, I got a text with just a price tag - no itemized breakdown of costs, no responses to my questions about table sizes, nothing. I left another message, asking for an itemized quote and haven't heard back. Its so surprising, considering how responsive and professional they were the past two summers when I rented from them. Itemized contracts, detailed terms. everything you would expect. This time there was none of that. Did they lose their sales staff? Are they going out of business?

I loved the rustic look of the furniture Elegant had and their prices were better than most. While they didn't have any rugs or pillows to rent (sigh), their wine barrels were perfection to use as high boys and ended up getting a bunch of their low benches to put together as low tables (to use with floor seating). And they were also able to provide lights for my backyard. While every other vendor told me that postposting due to rain or Covid-19 wasn't an option (say whaaa?) I also liked that they were flexible. The main issue was that getting ahold of them was extremely difficult. If the Yelp reviews didn't give me faith that they'd show in time fo the bash I would have been extremely worried. It took a lot of stalking for both me and my party planner to get a contract, pay for the contract and a date to set everything up. There is an emergency # and found that we had better luck when we called the emergency #. They set everything up a few days in advance so I didn't worry too much about them being a no show. I let them know they needed to come at 7am to get it all done since I was headed out for a busy day and they showed up even a few minutes early. An hour later my yard was lit up beautifully and I was really happy with the look of the furniture for the price. They set it all up on a Thursday morning and said they would be back on Monday to pick it up (also prompt for pick up) so we got to enjoy a long weekend of beautiful lights. While the service leading up to the event wasn't the best, I'd probably still use them since it was smoothly the weekend of the event. However, I'd hope they would be more on top of their communication next time.
