Mike and Matt went above and beyond to ensure my event was successful. It involved some creative brainstorming and everyone being flexible. But the end result was even better than the original concept! These folks are true professionals, and provide an incredible quality of service that I haven't typically experienced with other vendors. Will definitely work with them again! Our event took place at the Hermitage Museum & Gardens in Norfolk, Virginia. Photo credits to Andrew Cooper.

Their rental selection is good, and they offer a wide variety of items, which is why I’ve rented from them five times. However, the experience is consistently disappointing due to the rude and dismissive attitude of their office staff. Every time I place an order, I’m met with snarky, short responses as if they’re doing me a favor rather than providing a service. It really feels like they believe customers need them, not the other way around.

These guys were perfect and great! I just needed a few tables for a yard sale. They were affordable, super helpful andade changes to my order on the spot, as I wanted to add more and change some things about. I will definitely use them again and recommend them entirely!

Tammy provided impeccable customer service as we planned an outdoor party for my daughter’s Sweet 16 Birthday party. Her follow up was always timely and her one on one attention to your needs was exceptional.

The tables and chairs were extra dirty and one of the tables we ordered was a 4 ft table and it looked like a arts and crafts table with so much paint, gilter and the wood was rough on the table I was happy I had a table cloth for that table. I ordered 65 chairs and 6 tables the price was good they were just really dirty it took a lot of time for me to set up for my event because i had to deep clean the items I rented. And that took time away from setting up for my event and they were upset that we didn’t pack the tables and chairs the way they packed them on our truck were not the ones who work their and we know nothing about packing the way they pack the items

Frequently Asked Questions

What surface can tents be installed on?
Most tents stake into grass. Concrete and asphalt installs require water-barrel anchors or weighted bases — available for an additional fee.
How far in advance should I book?
Tent rentals for large events (weddings, corporate) should be booked 4-8 weeks ahead. Smaller canopies can sometimes be booked a week out.
Are tents weatherproof?
Quality event tents are designed for wind and light rain. However, extreme weather events may require postponement — confirm the cancellation policy.
What size tent do I need?
A general rule: 8-10 sq ft per guest for seated dining, 6 sq ft for standing cocktail events. The rental company can help you size correctly.
Is setup and takedown included?
Yes — professional installation and takedown are standard. Setup typically happens the day before and takedown the day after your event.
