Couldn’t Recommend More!

I can’t recommend Classical Tents & Party Goods enough! The process for booking, drop off, and pick up couldn’t have gone any smoother! With so much to worry about as a bride it was nice to work with a team that fit into the planning and wedding weekend seamlessly! The sailcloth tent we rented was absolutely beautiful! Since we booked everything initially about 2 years before our wedding there were several changes before the big day when it came to what we needed / wanted to rent and the Classic Tents team was so accommodating and always got back to me extremely fast!

Best rentals in the Berkshire area and beyond!

Classical Tents and Party Goods exemplifies what true professional excellence looks like in the event industry. My experience with their team, particularly Liz and Michele, went far beyond simply providing rental items – they became trusted partners in bringing our wedding vision to life.

Liz's patience and dedication throughout the planning process were remarkable. She handled countless revisions to our order with grace and precision, each time providing updated estimates promptly and clearly. Her attention to detail ensured that every modification was accurately documented, giving my husband and I complete confidence in our selections. The way she kept us on track with timeline reminders and estimate updates made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and organized.

Michele proved to be an invaluable resource when we encountered incredible challenges during our wedding day and the aftermath. Her wealth of experience and forthright communication style were exactly what we needed during an insanely agonizing and mentally and physically distressing situation that erupted with our wedding planner. Michele provided specific, actionable guidance while maintaining the utmost professionalism, helping us navigate complicated logistics with clarity and confidence.

What truly sets Classical Tents apart is their team's commitment to their clients' success. Every interaction reflected their deep understanding of how important each detail is to a wedding day. Their responsiveness to questions, transparent communication, and willingness to go above and beyond standard service made us feel valued and supported throughout the entire process.

For anyone planning an event in the area, Classical Tents and Party Goods is an absolute must. Their combination of exceptional service, extensive expertise, and unwavering professionalism creates an experience that gives you complete peace of mind. Liz and Michele, thank you for your extraordinary dedication and for being such a reliable, steadfast presence throughout our planning journey.

Easy, transparent, communicative and great selection!

We used Classical for all of our rentals for our October wedding, from the tent down to the napkins and space heaters. We were so impressed by their wide selection of items and transparency about pricing off the bat. They also allowed us to come into the showroom multiple times to test different table settings because we couldn't make up our minds! The team was so friendly, communicative, and easy to work with - both leading up to the wedding and on the day of. THE go-to for any Berkshires weddings (or beyond!).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
