We had the best experience with Tents & Things for our daughter’s first birthday! From the very beginning, they were so easy to work with, responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect.
The rentals were beautiful, clean, and exactly what we envisioned. They arrived on time, set everything up seamlessly, and made the entire process completely stress-free. It was one less thing for us to worry about, which meant so much while planning a big event.
If you’re looking for a company that’s reliable, professional, and truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Tents & Things enough.
Would highly recommend! Good communication both during ordering and day of. On-time delivery and pick-up, very professional.
I had a fantastic experience renting tables and chairs from Tents and Things for a backyard dinner party I hosted. Selvin was incredibly responsive throughout the process, and his prices—including delivery—were very reasonable.
The equipment was in perfect condition, and Selvin was punctual for both delivery and pickup. He went above and beyond by offering to set everything up for me and even brought extra chairs just in case I needed them. I highly recommend Tents and Things for your next event!
