Client Testimonials

Words cannot express how incredible the Party Central team are and how much I recommend the company!! I used Party central for my wedding and rented a couple tents, tables, chairs, dance floor and various other equipment. The quality of the rentals were impeccable, the install was flawless and the customer service was exceptional. We experienced a severe weather storm the night before the wedding however, Matt and his team were right there to fix any damages the storm caused. Our wedding would not have been possible without Party Central!! Thank you for everything!

Matt and his company did a terrific job with coordinating our rental needs for our wedding. Having a wedding at a private venue presented its challenges but Party Central made it a smooth process. Any time a question arose, Matt was a phone call away and helped get things straight. Despite tornado warnings and rain in the days leading up, the tent and all equipment was clean and dry. His team worked swiftly and professionally to get the event set up and taken down in a timely manner. I’ve used Rent Equip and Party central for personal and business needs with complete satisfaction every time.

I have used [Party Central] twice now each for wedding venue needs. Their customer service is fabulous. I had to call 3 separate times to add more rental items before my big event and they were able to accommodate all of my needs. Their staff were on time when it came to setting up the tents and taking them down. The staff has always been pleasurable to interact with and never made me feel like I was a bother. I highly recommend [Party Central] for any of your rental needs.
