We rented our linens at A-1 Party Rental. The quality and service was great! I would definitely recommend them for linens. Great selection! When we picked up our linens I saw all kinds of things that weren't online that I would have loved for the wedding. So make sure you visit the showroom!

We rented champagne glasses from them. Their policies were very reasonable, and their prices were great too. Dealing with them for my wedding was perfect until a few weeks after the wedding.

I got a phone call asking if I had returned the glasses. Luckily, I had a receipt to prove they had been returned, but if I didn't, and they couldn't be accounted for, would they have made me pay the ~$500 to replace them? I was horrified and stressed out! It turned out the person who had checked the glasses back in hadn't counted them and put them into inventory, but I have to ask myself if that's my problem. Shouldn't they have counted them before they freaked me out? I think so. Other than that little bit of terror, everything else was great!

Lesson learned? Keep ALL receipts and contracts even several months after your wedding!

They have a great selection of wedding rentals! The candlebras are amazing there! We were going to rent a dj in a box before we got our dj (in person) they let us put down half of the deposit and within a week, we called them back and asked for our deposit back since we were not going to be needing the rental anymore. I didn't even have to go back up there for anything! They were total professionals there and over the phone! I will recommend them for my friends weddings! =)

Some of the staff were very helpful, but information that I received from them was rather inconsistent. First they told me that the numbers of tables that I had would seat over 250. I found out later that they only seated close to 200. They rented me "table runners" that were supposed to be 8 inches wide, but then turned out to be 4 inches wide (they were actually chair sashes).
The laborers they brought out to install the tent were competent, but they were very rude to my family on the site. This made it a rather unpleasant experience.
Also, after deconstruction, they were constantly bothering my parents about whether they (the workers) left this or that at the site. They weren't even organized enough to take everything they needed in one trip.

They do have everything you need in the Columbia, MO area, but be wary of what they tell you. Do not believe anything that they say. Make sure you see the product in person or see a drawn setup.

They were really great. They had a few books of photo examples of decorations and ideas that anyone can come look through. I would recommend going early in the day to their shop because they are very popular and get busy as the day goes on. Also, check at bridal shows and in the mail for coupons for their services, and it wouldn't hurt to ask them what the best is they can do for you if you don't have a coupon.

A1 supplied some of the items for my rehearsal dinner and wedding. Their selection is pretty standard but they can order in most anything you want if you need speciality linens or other items. I was very happy working with their safe and everyting went smoothy with the delivery and pick up of the items. I would recommend to anyone in the Columbia, MO area.

We got beautiful tents, a dance floor, chairs and tables from A1. They are very helpful and the tents are stunning. It transformed the back yard into a setting fit for a fairy tale wedding. The best part is that they put up the tents early (we had them up from Thursday - Monday for our Saturday wedding) and they do it all! You will have to set up chairs and the dance floor, however.

It rained during our wedding and reception, but because of the quality of the tents -- provided with gutters, sides and even windows-- we had know idea that we were in a down pour.

We rented a lot of items from Party Perfect and were very pleased with everything. The prices were reasonable and they have so many items to choose from! They are strict with their renturn policy, though - my family was very cramped for time returning the chairs and tables. If you're getting married during a busy time of the year, book the items you need early - they are a popular rental company!

I had a wonderful experience with A1 for my wedding. My wedding was on a very popular day and they were able to work around all my needs effectively and timely. The items that I rented, such as chairs, were delivered and picked up perfectly on time. My only complaint was that they did not help pick up chairs or set them where they were needed. Their rental prices were very reasonable for the most part, on bigger items.

This vendor was very good. We got married on my sister's farm and they provided the tent along with everything down to the lighting and dance floor. They were very friendly and willing to help us decide what we would need. They were also very helpful in setting everything up.
