From our Customers
"We worked with Lia for our backyard wedding this summer and she was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. We ended up changing our date, doubling the size, adding a last minute dance floor, etc etc. The list of last minute changes we made to our plans goes on and on but Lia was so professional and helpful no matter what I threw at her. Everything we rented arrived in amazing condition and the delivery team was super friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend working with Tents & Events for any wedding or party! Thank you again Lia & team."
"Following multiple COVID-postponements/changes, my husband and I planned a last minute mini DIY wedding out at our family camp in July 2021. With only 3 months to get our new plans in order, to say it was crunch time was an understatement. Lia was absolutely wonderful to work with and supported us through the many changes. Not only was she incredibly accommodating, as we changed dates/added items/removed items/changed plans completely, but she was also incredibly kind and understanding through it all. She made what should have been a very stressful process, feel easy. She was so helpful, friendly and easy to work with through the entire wedding planning processes (all 4 of them by the time we were done). We picked up our items the day before the wedding and got exactly what we asked for. Everything came so well organized it made our DIY set up/take down a breeze. The morning of our big day, we realized that we had forgot to rent napkins. I called Tents and Events at probably 5am and Lia called me back literally the minute she got to the office to let me know that she had us, and our napkin situation, covered. Lia, we are so grateful for all of your help you were absolutely wonderful to work with. You are an angel We highly recommend Lia, and Tents and Events, for all of your wedding/party planning needs."
"Tents and Events was amazing to work with for our recent wedding. We contacted them pretty last minute to help accommodate an outdoor/backyard wedding due to COVID restrictions. They were fast, easy to work with, and incredibly flexible. Their set up and take down was flawless and they made it so easy for us and our special day. The tents looked absolutely gorgeous, and we cannot thank their team enough <3"
"Thank you for making my camp wedding dreams come true! We had to make a lot of last minute changes to our wedding day due to covid, and Lia was amazing to work with. The Harvest Tables and chairs were BEAAUTIFUL and totally transformed our yard and it was wonderful to be able to get all of our decor, cutlery, glassware etc. from one place. I highly recommend working with Tents & Events!"
"Highly recommend! I got married in 2018 and we had our wedding on my parent's property. We rented a large tent for the reception, a tent for the dance party, and a tent to cover part of the deck for cocktail hour. We also rented most of our decor, absolutely everything our caterer needed, linens (including gorgeous sequin tablecloths), tables, chairs, string lights, microphone, speakers, etc. It was a 'one-stop shop' with everything I wanted/'needed' and super convenient. Everything turned out exactly as I imagined it and the staff (especially Lia!) and tent crew were fantastic! It was the best day ever and everything looked amazing!"
"Due to the pandemic we had to switch our wedding plans 5 months before our date. Lia and her team made it very easy and stress free to set up for an outdoor ceremony at the marina! They made it so easy and we didn’t have to worry about anything. They are great! And they have anything and everything you need for all your wedding needs!"
"We rented a tent, dance floor, and A/C units for our wedding on August 14. Lia was super helpful in assisting us in making our outdoor reception happen! She was super quick to answer any email inquiries and made sure we had everything we needed for our reception to run smoothly. Everything was set up and ready by the day of, without anything extra required of us. It was truly a relief to have this all taken care of and have one less thing to worry about on our wedding day!! Thanks so much guys!!"
"I’m not even sure where to start, but you were an absolute dream to work with. You were so responsive even when you were beyond busy. Our date changed a few times and you were so supportive and ensured us you were there to help make sure our day was everything imagined, and it absolutely was. You are one of the most kind, genuine and sincere ladies I have ever met. I highly recommend tents and events for ANY event you are planning. Thank you again Lia, I wish you the best xo"
"We rented a tent from Tents & Events for our wedding this past Friday. We, also, rented a dance floor for the wedding & some items for our rehearsal dinner. Lia was fantastic during all of the planning. She was so professional, friendly, accommodated our last minute additions or changes, and always responded so quickly. She provided such great guidance for both of the events that we rented items for. We knew we didn’t have to worry about a thing because the Tents & Events team really put us at ease. The tent was so gorgeous and we could not be happier with the service!"
"Tents and Events was extremely helpful when we had to change our wedding plans this year, and move the event outdoors. We rented a 40x120 tent, and it was very clean and crisp looking. They had the tent set up 2 days early, making it easy for our decorator to go in and start setting up too. We also rented a dance floor, stages and generators. All of these items were ready to go and looked great. Lia was always quick to respond when we had any questions and very professional. Thank you to Tents and Events for helping us make the day so special!"
"Tents and events were absolutely amazing to deal with for our wedding! At the last minute because of Covid we had to switch to a small backyard wedding instead of our big indoor venue. They accommodated every need that we had and were super prompt with pick up and delivery. The staff that came to set up were very nice to deal with and efficient at both the set up and take down. Their pricing was very reasonable and I would not hesitate for one second to use them again for my future event needs. There aren’t enough stars in the world to give these people so I guess 5 will have to suffice."
"5 stars!! Due to the pandemic this year we had to change our wedding date and venue. We only had about 5 weeks from the day we changed our date to plan an outdoor wedding from scratch. Our day would not have been possible without the help from Lia and her crew at Tents and Events! She was always available day or evening to answer any new questions, concerns or for tweaking my rental list. Our tent and other rentals came just as expected, beautiful! We ordered a 40x80 foot tent for a 100 person guest list with a 15x15 ft dance floor. It was perfect!"
"Tents and Events were our saving grace last year as we planned our wedding during COVID restrictions. We were able to have our dream wedding with the help of T&E, who put together our vision in just 3 weeks! They were so easy to work with. Quick response times, knowledgeable staff and honest opinions only. They met with me a couple of times leading up to our wedding and came all the way out to our venue to do the locates and evaluate how we could configure the tents. They set everything up well in advance and took care of taking everything away the next day. And I must say, the hexagon tents we got were gorgeous! We also purchased a dance floor from T&E and it held up all night with no buckling! Everyone danced the entire time. Overall, we just had such a pleasant experience and the most wonderful day thanks to their help and I could not be happier with the way everything turned out. We still get compliments from our guests all the time. Outdoor weddings with tents and events is definitely the way to go!"
"With the ever changing conditions of the COVID regulations, my new husband and I want to thank Tents and Events and Lia for being so accommodating and flexible throughout our wedding planning process. We cannot be happier with the service we received. And honestly had the most beautiful wedding thanks to Tents and Events. In the middle of planning our COVID wedding, they made things a little easier for us! Anyone needs help planning a beautiful tent wedding, we highly recommend Tents and Events!"
"Dealing with Lia at Tents and Events was one of the most positive experiences I have had with a local business. Her knowledge and professionalism were exceptional, and the customer service second to none. I was able to express my needs and have all of them met without hesitation. It was a wonderful experience, and I’m forever grateful that the equipment and set up were the absolute last thing I had to worry about. every person I made contact with was a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend this business."
"The whole crew at Tents & Events is amazing to work with. The set up and takedown crew work quickly and are always friendly and helpful. Lia has everything you could ever need for event planning—the equipment AND a creative eye!! I am SO grateful for this amazing team helping us make the most out of my sister’s Covid wedding. I’ll always recommend Tents & Events"
"We used tents and events for my bridal shower and our wedding. Renting tables and glasses was so easy for the shower. The harvest table was perfect for our head table at Stepstone. They have so much other inventory and a great showroom to help envision your big day. Lia was super helpful and very reliable. Highly recommend checking them out for hosting any kind of event."
"Highly recommend Tents and Events for your celebration! Wanted to have a small intimate gathering on my deck (10x13) to celebrate our Anniversary, contacted Lia and she made it happen! Tent set up, table, gorgeous linen and chargers, beautiful chairs and soft lighting. Thanks so much to Tents and Events for making our day so special!"
"Tents and Events provided equipment rentals as well as set up, delivery and pick-up services for our summer wedding in July 2020. When we had to re-plan our wedding to take place in a private backyard setting, we didn’t know where to begin. With short notice, Lia and our wedding coordinator, Georgia, helped us create a list of rentals that met the needs of our small backyard wedding. From a tent to charger plates and everything in between, we were able to rent everything we needed, which made the planning process easy. Lia’s team did a wonderful job of setting up. They were friendly, personable and easy to work with from delivery to pickup. Most of all, we were in awe of the transformation of a simple backyard into a dreamy wedding venue. Thank you so much, Lia and team!"
"A glowing 5 star review and huge thank you goes out to Tents and Events for helping creating the backyard wedding of our dreams! Lia in particular is so friendly, patient, reliable, transparent and flexible. She helped customize our wedding to be exactly what we envisioned. Kai and the crew are hard workers and did a perfect set up job. Our guests LOVED the triple-hex marquee tent layout - it was a high quality tent and unique design I would definitely recommend. Tents and Events should be your first stop and go-to place for party planning with tents, tables, chairs, dance floor, stage, lights, and more, at the most affordable rates! Especially their harvest tables and chairs - they were so gorgeous for the earthy-vibe we wanted (if you're looking for a not-so-typical banquet option)."
"I have used Tents & Events on several occasions, and I will continue to do so! The rental of their decor and linens really transformed the room into a formal dining space. Renting decor instead of buying is a great green environmental choice, and not to mention their prices are very reasonable as well! Lia and the staff have always been very accommodating, kind, personable, and professional. I highly recommend using Tents and Events for your next event, no matter how big or small! Thanks Tents & Events for the amazing service!"
"My sister got married this past summer at a private residence and we cannot thank the staff and crew enough!! It was so beautiful and they provided us with soooo many options and was the perfect one-stop-shop from everything to tents, linens, cutlery, glassware, bar, tables, lighting, sound system, air conditioner etc. So happy we chose them as our special events provider! Cannot say enough great things about the professional service we received!"
"Tents and Events planned my 'Boho Bash' themed birthday party. I really can't say enough good things about them!! Not only did they completely make my vision come to life but the attention to detail and expertise took it to the next level. Working with Lia Knudsen made the process even more fun! She is genuinely so talented, has such an eye for style, and was with me every step of the way. She collaborated with me on ideas, continued to follow up to make sure everything was as I'd hoped, did all the measurements, was here for the entire install, and styled my living room into a dreamy bohemian space that I never wanted to take down. The price point was unbelievable reasonable, speaking as a Grad student, this was a BIG deal. Everything was fairly priced, easy to book, and the very few items they didn't have, they connected me with great (and cost-effective) local renters right away. Ultimately, they really put their heart into making the client's day, from the minute you walk in. I couldn't recommend them more and look forward to working with them again for many more events in the future!"
