We had rented plates, and bought flowers from All Event Rental. We liked how flexible they were, how friendly they were. They are willing to do almost anything to make your wedding your dream come true! They had dropped off the plates for us at the wedding venue which was amazing and so much help and also picked it up as well. The plates were in great condition, and they were the square plates that we were looking for! The flowers were also nice and in good condition!

All Event Rental provided us with a variety of different items. They provided and hung the "Edison style" lights across the top of our warehouse and just outside as well for the cocktail area. I have to say these lights truly made our wedding décor! It brought my entire vision to life! Carl was very easy and pleasant to work with. He was on the same page as to what we wanted the entire time and was able to handle all the curve balls we threw at him! He also has about everything you could need to rent for any kind of event!

Jennifer was absolutely amazing to work with and helped my vision come to life for my wedding day. Along with her planning, the florals from Bee Ridge Florist and the rentals from All Event Rental were exactly what we were seeking. Jennifer was extremely professional and answered all texts and emails promptly. My husband and I were so happy with how organized she was, and kept the bridal party in line for the rehearsal and wedding so everything flowed perfectly! Her attention to detail is impeccable, and greatly helped me to ensure every part of my day was planned out and accounted for. She coordinated amazingly with my other vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. It was definitely our dream wedding, and we could not have done it without her! Jennifer always goes above and beyond, and we are so thankful for her. I hired her for day-of coordination, and there is absolutely no way everything would have flowed as smoothly as it did if I
didn’t have Jennifer. If I could go back, I would have hired her for full planning. I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding or any other event!

I had the pleasure of working with Marisa from All Event Rental & Design. Marisa is a great coordinator. I had the privilege of working with Marisa on April 25th of 2015 at a beautiful wedding at The Founders Club in Sarasota FL. I was the DJ at this particular wedding. Marisa was perfectly prepared with the night's events, and at the same time knew to be flexible as timelines always do shift at weddings. She did a great job of balancing the timeline of events while not micro-managing the couple, the venue or the vendors. The wedding went off without a single problem, the guests were elated, and the couple could not have been happier about their big day. I would recommend Marisa in a heartbeat to ALL of the brides who are looking for an exceptional coordinator.

Mya Widmyer and Carl Wise were very helpful during our initial consultation up through our wedding day. We had a vision, and with their assistance and expertise it was all brought to life. They took the time to understand what our needs/wants were and made professional recommendations regarding our rental selections.

We were able to get everything we needed rental wise from All Event which was extremely convenient since they have such a variety of rental options. Their prices were very reasonable; they were willing and able to work within our budget. Carl and his team delivered and picked up promptly ensuring we were within our venue’s timeframe guidelines.
All of my encounters with Mya were beyond delightful. Her vibrant yet calming personality made the chaos of wedding planning less stressful, as she reassured us that everything would come together. She was always accessible for questions and flexible when we needed to make changes to our rental invoice. Her responsiveness was impeccable. Mya’s honesty was extremely appreciated when we looked to her for an outside perspective. She never pushed anything on us, instead talked us through whatever we were unsure about in order to help us make a final decision.

We really cannot say enough good things about All Event, especially Mya and Carl. We are very pleased with everything they did for us, and would highly recommend them!

I worked with Marisa at All Event Rental on Tuesday to get started on my wedding planning. Marisa was wonderful. Not only did she help me conceptualize my whole wedding theme, she gave me lots of options regarding layout, tents, lights and linens. She was more than willing to work with me on my budget and figuring out what would work best for us on our big day! The owner even took the time to help me figure out what tent would be best for my venue and how to organize the tables to fit more people at the venue. I would highly recommend working with Marisa at All Event Rental!

We used All Event Rental for all of tables, linens, glasses, silverware and plates. We also used them for the lighting at our event! Let me just say the ambiance of our wedding would not have been the same!!! Not only were our chandeliers absolutely breathtaking, the place settings were beautiful too. The best part of All Event rental was their staff. We worked closely with Jennifer Matteo who was awesome! She was on top of everything and is so professional. Her execution of our day was flawless as well. If you are doing lighting I hope you can work with Carl as well. He is very professional and gifted at designing beautiful lighting designs!!!!

I made multiple changes and requests over a very short time frame and she was so responsive and understanding of the craziness of planning a wedding! I would recommend them to anyone!

Words can not describe how invaluable Jennifer Matteo was for our wedding!! We had her for a full planning, and she was the first thing we did when we started planning our wedding. Jennifer found our venues, photographers, dj's, caterers, cake, flowers, dresses, decor, and everything in between. She set up every meeting for us and attended them. She even went with me to try on dresses (after she set up the appointments for me, of course). Jennifer also kept us within our budget, which was not large in wedding standards. She was in charge of keeping the finances and was very honest with us with what we could afford and what we couldn't. I appreciated that she told me no when I needed and didn't "yes me to death".

I know that we saved money in the long run by hiring her, she has connections in the business and knows the exact right people to get involved in your wedding. She really matched our personalities with our vendors and we were able to have a wonderful time with everyone throughout the entire process. When friends of mine asked me, "aren't you stressed out?" my answer was always, "absolutely not, I have Jen!" On the actual wedding day, all my fiancé and I had to do was show up, get pretty and have a couple of mimosas, Jen took care of the rest.

Jen made our wedding day the most beautiful day we could have imagined and we had most of our guests say that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We highly recommend Jennifer Matteo for all of your planning needs!!!
Love,
Erin and Niall

We had an outdoor wedding on our farm for our daughter. Jennifer Matteo was our consultant and planner for the event. I cannot begin to express how much stress she removed from the whole process of planning the wedding day to the reception. Her vendors are exceptional! She is very organized , professional and friendly. She remains very calm and proved to be a great problem solver on the day of Kristin's wedding when gale force winds decided to make an appearance and we had flower arrangements that needed to be changed from lighted glass pedestals to on table arrangement plus other small tweaks that she notified us of, but took care of without us having to worry about anything but getting hair, make up and dresses on for the ceremony. The set up from the tent to the chairs and tables for the wedding went without a hitch and the take down was done the next day quickly and quietly. The D.J. , caterer, photographer, flowers, cake and right down to the portable trailer for the outdoor bathroom service were all beyond compare. The day of the wedding Jennifer had the unthankful task of getting our group to stay in one place to start the ceremony. Kind of like trying to herd cats...LOL. But she did it with her usual charm and grace. No one knew that she had been running all over 10 acres trying to get the happy family members where they were supposed to be to start the ceremony. After the ceremony she helped get us photographed, introduced, fed, toasts, cake cutting and then everyone danced the night away. I can without reservation recommend Jennifer Matteo as the perfect consultant and planner for any event that you have. She is just wonderful. Thank you Jennifer for keeping me sane. Pat Featherman mother of the Bride!

As a wedding planner I always choose All Event for all their services. From flowers, chairs, tables, linens and more - they are the only way to go!
Carl - the owner as well as Jeniifer Matteo are top notch on service, time and excellence products!
I had a beach wedding this past Aug 31st; that of course got rained out! Not only did the delivery drive head back to pick up all the items; he did so during the rain and without complaining!
Thank you to All Event & Bee Ridge Florist for always worknig with me and being my go to company!

My partner and I just moved to Sarasota and had very little time to plan our wedding. Someone recommended that we contacted Jennifer Matteo at All Event Rental & Design. The exact quote was, "You'll love her. She's fantastic. She was born for this job." And she was. Jenn pulled our wedding together and was able to fulfill our vision plus much more. She was able to see & recommend things we didn't even think of, and all with respecting our budget. She really truly went above and beyond. It was such a wonderful affair and we couldn't have done it without her and All Event Rental. Everything that we needed was there as a sophisticated, beautiful, one-stop-shop. I couldn't recommend Jenn and All Event enough, and they will be the first people I will contact if/when we have another event.

As an out of state bride, I was worried about planning a wedding from a distance, but my Mom suggested contacting Jennifer Matteo after meeting her while helping plan my sister's wedding a few months earlier. Jennifer and the team at All Event Rental/Bee Ridge Florist made my sister's wedding dreams a reality in December of 2013 and then helped me transform a restaurant and banquet room into a wedding reception beyond my wildest expectations in June 2014! Jennifer's support throughout the planning process eliminated all the stress and the end result was amazing. The floral arrangements were stunning and the array of rental items/furniture available created the perfect atmosphere for our guests. THANK YOU!! Jennifer and the entire team at All Event Rental for making our day so special!!

We had a backyard wedding and All Event Rental was able to provide us with everything we needed to make it a beautiful event. The tent, chairs, arch, tables, linens, were all delivered 2 days before the wedding so we were able to set everything up without being in a hurry. They were very flexible and easy to work with. They are part of Bee Ridge Florists which is where we got our flowers too so it is a one stop place for your wedding or event! Highly recommend!

We initially contacted All Events to have them help us to determine how many people we could seat for a sit-down dinner reception in our home. Jennifer Matteo waited on us and we soon discovered other services that appealed to us: wedding planning and flowers. It turned out to be a 1-stop shop. Karl and Jennifer came to our house for a consultation on the tables, but we came away with a great plan for outdoor lighting and decor that we would never have come up with on our own. Since our backyard area is filled largely with pool, they suggested constructing a dance floor that extended over part of our pool, as well as multiple white string lights and 6 blue spots. Our backyard was a sight to behold! Jennifer and I were in close contact (email mostly) more and more as the wedding day drew near. She helped me coordinate my vendors, attended and helped with the rehearsal and the ceremony, and was back at our house to receive our guests while we were busy with after-the-ceremony photography. We put together a plan-of-events for the reception and she made sure all ran according to plan. We were VERY pleased with all the services they provided!

I was already using All Event Rentals for my chairs on my big day. When they sent the initial quote it included an event coordinator but I turned that down b/c I didn't think I needed it. Until I had a little panic attack and then realized I needed it, bad. Jennifer Matteo saved my day! She's crazy (in a good way), energetic, creative, professional... she is everything any bride needs. She paid for herself in our first meeting alone. If it wasn't for her my guests and I would have been dining in the dark. Jennifer took care of everything for me and is truly one of the top reasons my day was as wonderful as it was. She was attentive and I never had to worry about a thing b/c she handled it all. Without her my perfect day wouldn't be possible.

The staff were very helpful and easy to contact if I had a question. They delivered, setup, and helped to make sure we had everything we needed to make our daughter and son in laws wedding very special. The lighting and decorations set the mood for a early spring garden wedding. Our guest were very complimentary on how beautiful everything looked. Our wedding was in Tampa and the rental company came from Sarasota to deliver and install our rental items I will use this Event Rental company in the future.

All Event is excellent!!!! I found them through a Style Me Pretty picture of lighting I loved which is a gorgeous chandelier and I was happy to find out they offered more services. I worked with Jennifer who was amazing from beginning to end. She helped me pin down what style I wanted for flowers and every question I had was quickly answered with a helpful response. I ended up getting my lighting, some tables and linens and my Flowers through them. Everyone commented on how beautiful everything was! I could not be happier.

Working with All Event Rental & Bee Ridge Florist was the best thing I could have done to plan my wedding in Sarasota. I just had moved to the area a year prior and did not have any reference to know the best vendors for my special day. Carl Wise suggested my caterer (Gordon's) and my cake (Thompson's Cakes) and they were PERFECT for what we were looking for. But, the flowers, decor, professionalism and caring of ALL EVENT & Bee Ridge Florist was amazing. The quaint venue of the Sarasota Garden Club was transformed into a gorgeous backdrop for the ceremony & reception. Carl Wise and the staff truly cared about making the wedding our style, and we appreciated their suggestions and help. But, I was truly saved by our day of coordinator Jennifer Matteo. She was more than a day of coordinator, The unprecedented heat & humidity of our December 28th wedding caused my "Hollywood curls" to fall flat and she was there to help me with an impromptu undo. My absent bridesmaids failed to help me with my bustle and she was right there to help me and also change into my reception dress. She also gracefully dealt with an incompetent back-up DJ after our 1st had cancelled two days prior which was a nightmare. She was truly a saving grace for me and our day. If you are planning a wedding in Sarasota and you are looking for a professional and affordable company that pays great attention to detail and style while caring deeply about their clients, then call All Event/Bee Ridge Florist. I highly recommend them for their knowledge & taste, and again TRULY appreciate their suggesting my caterer & cake company. These three companies together made my wedding unforgettable. I also highly, highly recommend asking for Jennifer Matteo as your coordinator for the day.

Jennifer was my wedding planner and she saved our wedding day! Our original planner turned out to be a nightmare to deal with so we hired All Event Rental & Design to take over and everything went smoothly from there. Everything was done PERFECTLY and quickly. The whole staff did a great job with the flowers and meeting our needs. We rented chairs, centerpieces and all kinds of décor and it was beautiful. I couldn't be happier.

All Event provided beautiful lighting, gorgeous flowers and plants which made an already beautiful outside veranda just outstanding -- actually breathtaking!!! They supplied gold chairs, white lights, plants, flowers and wonderful creativity. Carl understood exactly what we wanted the venue to look like and used his artistry to turn the evening into a gold and white southern space for our 50th Anniversary. Altogether a pleasure to work with this vendor and we would definitely work with them again.

We used All Event Rentals for drapery and chairs for the ceremony as well as centerpieces. They were very quick and efficient with set up and everything looked beautiful beyond my expectations!! The drapery outside looked so elegant! Our centerpieces were gorgeous! All Event Rentals set out 3 tall cyclinder vases of varying sizes with a different color orchid in each with black stones at the bottom. It looked beautiful and elegant and we received many compliments!!

All event rentals were great! They were very accommodating as I kept changing my mind about what linens and furniture I wanted to rent. I also thought they were very reasonably priced when comparing them to other vendors.

I rented a large oak arch for my ceremony that they have on the florist's side of the building. I was extremely happy with the service that I received when renting this item and they were extremely flexible given that I changed my church venue.

I received great communication from Jennifer throughout the planning process. She was willing to work with me changing my services only weeks before the event, and was always quick to respond.

The day of the event, the crew showed up right on time and worked extremely quick to set up tables and chairs. They were friendly to all of my family, and I received many compliments about their work. I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone planning an event in the Sarasota area.

I cannot say enough great things about Jennifer and Carl of All Event Rental. We had our annual outdoor fundraiser on Kentucky Derby Day. However it was pouring rain all morning and our event started in the afternoon, The crew and Carl worked diligently to help keep the tent from flooding. They made sure everything was perfect ..even checked the weather reports for us. This was one of the best experiences. They offer a rare commodity these days ......personal service and care ...way beyond the call of duty.

Overall, my fiancé and I had a good experience with All Event's. Their pricing is very fair and reasonable; especially compared to other local area vendor's. I pride myself on being honest, so I will say that I questioned the professionalism some after signing a contract when I would try to communicate via email (which is why I had to knock off a half point); however, after the hiring of a marketing director, the experience was quite different. I've read past reviews where it said they aren't organized, but I can confidently say I don’t think the worry needs to be there anymore for future brides and event planners. Jennifer was very quick to respond, professional, and accommodating. Carl is great too – after meeting with him a few times, I got a sense that he truly cares about your event. He is very honest, which I greatly appreciate. He was very helpful, as there were a lot of areas when it came to our wedding that I was unfamiliar with. So with that being said, I would definitely recommend All Event Rental and Design.

I had a great experience with All Event Rental and Design!! My husband and I live in England and we were planning to elope on Siesta Key beach. We were looking for an arch to use and we were in contact with Amy W. all the way from the beginning. She was incredibly patient with us and worked alongside us to make our experience a good one. Our arch was delivered and picked up just as planned, and our delivery guy was awesome. The arch was beautiful and was just what we had imagined. Our flowers from the BeeRidge florist were gorgeous! As you can imagine, planning a wedding whilst in another country had its challenges! But All event rental and design helped us create the ceremony of our dreams and we couldn't be more grateful for the smooth experience we had. Thank you!

Carl and his team truly made our Pinterest wedding come true! After shopping around for florists for far too long, I stumbled upon All Event Rental & Design at the very last minute and never looked back. Their rental inventory is unbelievable. They worked with our deadline and made it all happen perfectly!

This was a destination wedding for me and I did not have much time to plan and get to know my vendors. I chose this company based on a photo I saw on their website. I had never seen the Spinnaker Canopy before and it was so unique. I chose to spend a little extra and have the Spinnaker at my ceremony. I had many questions about it and which color chairs to pair it with. Alyssa from the company had great responsiveness via email and she helped prepare my contract. She was very flexible with my requests and we kept constant communication leading up to the ceremony. The ceremony was perfect and all the guests loved the Spinnaker.

We booked just some tables, chairs, and a few accessories through All Event Rental for a small destination beach wedding. The value was comparatively reasonable, the staff was quick in response and eager to help. What more can you want?

The only challenge was their policy of setting a two hour delivery time range, With the groomsmen acting as the muscle, we needed the equipment to arrive at a certain time in order to set up before needing to be at the church. We had to make several frantic calls in the days leading up to the wedding to emphasis exactly when we needed the delivery, and All Event Rental pulled through - right on time.

Great quality items and professional

I rented my tables, chairs, and linens through All Event Rental & Design. Overall, I had a great experience with very little complications. The only complications my husband and I experienced was the lack of communication from Michelle. We were working with Michelle originally and it was very, very difficult to get into contact with her. Both by email and phone. It was rather upsetting especially when I had questions that I needed answered. I continued working with All Event Rental & Design despite this and actually handled everything else I needed through someone else at the company. After that, everything went really smooth! They delivered everything that I had ordered exactly when they said they would. The quality of the items I got was great and I couldn't be more thankful for how everything turned out!

We only rented chairs from here. Everything was on time and set up for our reception. No concerns or worries, everything was clean. We had to change the order last minute and that wasn't a problem.

I was a bit nervous after reading some negative reviews and hearing some criticisms from people in the wedding community. All Event is by far the best price point, and Jennifer was flexible for my Sunday wedding. Everything was delivered on time, and there were no extra fees that came as a surprise (this is always a concern when renting). The only low area in my rating is the professionalism. They have some people on staff who have not had the chance to learn about email etiquette and there were times when emails came to me written in all CAPS demanding that I call to confirm details or at times, excessive use of emoticons. Besides these details, the service was excellent, and at the end of the day, our wedding was perfect! Thanks, All Event.

All event rental did my beautiful bouquet, linens, flowers, and dishes. However,Jennifer Matteo an event planner for the Devyn/sarasota all event rental, is probably the worst person I've ever met. She goes back on her word and is extremely inflexible and difficult to work with. She consistently has a fake nice or bad attitude. Even Mortons that owns the kitchen at the Devyn went the extra mile for us on our wedding day. Jennifer didn't want us to keep the left over alcohol that we had prepurchased from them at a very overpriced cost. I had to go behind the bar in my wedding gown that night to start boxing it up myself. I would recommend using this place for flowers and linens, but not for working with JENNIFER. It is a shame the two are associated.

At first they seemed great. We needed our items earlier than originally planned and they worked with us on that which was awesome. But when they arrived to bring our items and we told them to set up on the beach we were told that our idea for set up was stupid. They rushed to get everything out there whether we liked where it was placed or not. We were told our items would be picked up at 7 pm. We had to pay extra to have it picked up after business hours. At 7:45 when I called to find out where they were Carl was extremely rude to me on the phone. He said we couldn't expect it to be exactly at 7. Which I understood and is why I waited until 7:45 to call them. We waited out on the beach in 60 degree weather in the rain waiting. However, the men who came to pick up our items were great. They were polite and efficient and they got everything out of there as quickly as possible.

I was enthusiastic to use this rental company because they featured beautiful chairs, linens, etc. that complimented the look I was going for at my beach/museum courtyard wedding. I spoke with the main coordinator there about my rentals well in advance (5 months) and we finalized everything 2 weeks before wedding. She was very flexible, if somewhat agitated with me, to do 2 minor changes right before my order went to warehouse but I was pleased with our final choices for the ceremony-reception items and the final bill, fully expecting a great service from them (when you pay thousands of $$$$ for something, you expect quality).

I am sad to say though the level of professionalism ended there because on my wedding day the only real stressor for my team of vendors, helpers and myself was from this company and the way they handled themselves. They arrived two hours late to each location - the beach ceremony location and the museum reception location, causing the multiple other vendors and set up helpers to pick up their slack. The team of people they used was described by my florist and coordinators to be "the most unprofessional" they had ever seen in years. My coordinator repeatedly tried to get in touch with them the day of, and barely got a response. No one from this company knew what tablecloths went on specific tables. My florist then stepped in. I ordered gold dinner plates (to be placed on white chargers) which never arrived or weren't put out... myself and my guests ended up eating off of the chargers. To top it all off, bc of this, 6 of my closest friends who had been at reception venue since midday had to stay and finish setting up everything at the reception venue, missing my ceremony entirely.

Word to the wise: they've got great stuff for great price and it ended up looking nice, BUT for what you pay for and what you expect on a big wedding day where everyone needs to know their place, on time and ready, I sadly do not recommend them.

Although I was very pleased with the final result, the road getting there was pretty rocky to say the least.I live in Massachusetts and planned a destination wedding in Sarasota, FL,so given that All Event Rental was a one stop shop for flowers, decorations, rentals, etc. it seemed convenient and a no-brainer. My husband and I were engaged February 2013 and went to Sarasota Memorial Day weekend for our engagement photos and to meet with reception venues, florists etc for our April 2014 wedding. Being from out of state demanded an organized timeline for the weekend. I set up an appointment with All Event Rental 2 months prior and confirmed the appt. @ 2 weeks & 1 week before. We show up for the appt and it was closed, no one was there. Even if we weren't from out of town this is unacceptable. Luckily we had enough time to track them down and met with Carl, who didn't apologize for blowing us off, but did seem to understand everything that I wanted and envisioned for our wedding, so we paid our deposit and hoped for the best. I was there again in October 2013 to meet with my vendors. I was about 10 minutes late to my appt. with Carl and when I walked in I was told with major attitude that"he left because you are late and I have to take over the appt"I got NO phone call, and since when do you just leave when you have a secured customer in town from MA?Maybe it was a blessing in disguise because details I thought I had in my contract I didn't have(ie. Setup & Delivery is NOT a Full Setup)My appt ended up being a brand new contract instead of just a review.The next 6mos I continually felt that I needed to pay extra for something I thought I already had and never felt assured that all would turn out the way I wanted. I was reminded constantly that"You are planning 1 wedding and I am planning 50+ weddings" Week of, flowers were fuscia instead of blush and they made me feel their mistake was my fault and i was lucky to have it corrected. I could go on, but no room left!!

I made an appointment and met with a women at their location. My experience was not very good. She was very rude and short with me. I asked over the phone if they had a variety of the blush linens and they said they did. When I went to their location, they only had two to show. I do not recommend this place. Their customer service was terrible.

The service was not what i expected for the rental price I was paying.

1/2 of my lights didn't work (cafe bulbs). A few of the tables I had payed for didn't show up, they were sloppy in clean up and left a lot of things behind, that my husband and I (the day after our wedding) had to go and pick up from the venue.

If you are on a budget and have a lot of help for set up, I would recommend them based on price alone, but as far as service goes, be prepared to have to do a lot of extra work to get what you want.

I was really excited when I found All Event Rental because they had the arbor I had been searching for. However, the excitement stopped there. Anytime I called to make any changes or ask a questions their response was to change the contract and send it to me. I would have liked more straight forward answers instead of trying to decode the contract. The real killer for me was the day of the wedding. We paid for delivery & set up of the arbor & chairs. The men dropped off the arbor in the sand & told the people at the venue they had too many deliveries today. I called the company & they said they would "figure it out". Well when the ceremony was over & my new husband and I were taking pictures this delivery person comes up and tries to make all these excuses about a yoga class or something. I just had to tell him "it's my wedding, you need to leave now".
Long story short it was a less than class act from these people!! I do not recommend!

From the moment I began working with this company, it was not a pleasant experience. I'm sure this was just a fluke situation but I still can not, in good conscience, recommend this company to family, friends or clients in the future. From the start, working with Nancy was incredibly frustrating. Regardless of the fact that she could not use proper punctuation in her emails, she could also never answer more than one question at a time. If I sent an email with more than one question, only one got answered and you never knew which one she would choose. Therefore leaving me to have to re-ask questions again. This was very frustrating when my whole wedding was basically DIY and I work full-time (I own two businesses) and also am in college. I chose to overlook all of this because the time it would take me to switch the reservation to a different vendor was not worth it. Additionally, for the most part, their prices were the lowest I could find (which explains the honest rating I gave them on value). However, come delivery day, everything feel apart and I lost complete trust in the company. The venue in which my wedding was held was a private residence. I had been instructed by the owners to have all delivery companies use the second driveway and I passed along this instruction the All Event Rentals when they called to say they were on the way. Long story short, their driver got stuck in the mud when she drove off the road and needed to be pulled out. This was to be a cost of $75, which I said I would not pay. I explained this to her boss, Carl, who spoke with me very unprofessionally and disrespectfully, especially considering he was not there and did not have the facts. He proceeded to pay the fee, being sure to more or less threaten me by saying "The chairs better be cleaned, stacked and at the end of the driveway when they return to pick the items up" (Which I did on my wedding night because I did not trust this company). They made this a very unpleasant experience.

Don't let the name of the company All Event Rental & Design fool you. Yes they provide everything under one roof but their professionalism and social skills are one that you don't want to deal with when planning your perfect day. If you want to be frustrated through out your entire planning process then this is the company for you.
I had a beach ceremony and beach reception under a tent. I had All Event Rental & Design and Bee Ridge Flowers provide every thing for my out door event. This is what they do, so you assume that they know what they are doing.

The person in charge of everything never has time to go over anything. He sends a contract/invoice and doesn't even say thank you or say one thing nice. You just get an attached invoice. It would be nice to hear "Thank you for letting us provide you services for your special day. Let me know if you have any questions." Then other staff attempts to get involved and they have no idea what is going on. I can tell you I received about 15 different invoices and they were never correct nor are the items totaled. GET this YOU have to get a calculator out and total them yourself. And they come from three different emails so you never know who you are dealing with because again it is just a invoice attached to the email.

The companies rude employees are the icing on the cake. NO ONE ever knows what is going on. You call to make a deposit and they don't even know what your talking about. You have to call back and talk to the guy that does every thing. In my contract I paid an additional $100.00 to have them pick up tent, chairs ect at 11:00 P.M. They arrived at 10:00 p.m yelling at my a few of my guests asking why we were not ready for them to start taking every thing down. I knew that it would go past 10:00 p.m hence on my contract 11:00 P.M pick up. You seriously need to get frustrated with my guests that we extended our DJ another 45 minutes because we were not ready to end our special night. Read your contract.

Because of all the confusion of 15 different invoices, they forgot a the table for the card box and guest sign in book. Then forgot two linens we ordered for the buffet tables. THEN tried to charge us for the missing linens they never brought. I had to have my catering company call and say they never received them. Did I ever hear back from them? Well you know the answer to that!!!

I paid for a dance floor on the beach which I paid extra for the sub floor under it. Let's just say major hazard. They did not build up the sand around it. There was about a 6"-8" step up. Three people ended up falling/tripping. One being my elderly uncle. NOT COOL! It would have taken them 10 extra minutes to push the sand around it or do something.

I seriously could go on for another couple pages but I am sure you are getting tired of reading. Just know that you don't want the services they offer. Spend a little more money to have it done right!
It is your day to be treated like a star and you shouldn't settle like I DID for anything less.

Horrendous, Run!

If I could have given this company a zero rating, I would have! I got married on June 9th, 2023, and I'm still so upset about what happened at my wedding because of this company. Less than 48 hours before my wedding, I was contacted by the owner Gigi, and told that she contacted the county and was told that I had to have a tent permit as well as the permit I had to rent out the beach. This was the opposite of what I was told from the county. I called twice to speak to parks and recreation and they both assured me that I don't have to have a tent permit. Mind you, I'm working, and we live 3 hours away from our wedding site. Gigi calls me back again, basically telling me that I lied and that she spoke to someone and I do need it. I'm very upset at this point, not knowing what to do. I explained again that I contacted them and both said I don't need a tent permit. She said I would need to get something in writing from the county that I in fact don't need a tent, because she was told otherwise and doesn't want to get sued. I call the county back again, in tears. I speak to one of the same people and she said that she would contact the director of the county. He contacted me, told me that I was correct and that I didn't need a permit. He agreed to write an email to the owner, and apologized for all the trouble she was causing me. Just as I'm about to call Gigi and tell her all is well, she calls me. She's yelling that she called parks and recreation again and that my zone on Lido Beach was actually owned by the city, so it didn't matter what the director said. She hangs up and then calls me back again. I'm sobbing at this point. She said, very matter of fact that it doesn't matter, the city said that I don't need a permit! After all that!!!! Then, the day of the wedding, she called to let me know that they would be arriving to set up the tent shortly before 3:00p.m. or at 3:00p.m. the latest. I had my father and groomsmen there ready to meet her to set up the state mandated turtle lights on the tent and to assemble the centerpieces for the reception. At 3:23p.m. my father called to say she hadn't arrived. I texted her, and she said, we're just down the street. They didn't arrive until 3:43p.m., 43 minutes later than promised. My people had to rush around and then hurry back to get cleaned up for the wedding. This also slowed down the photographer, officiant, DJ, and cake who were all arriving at their correct time. The wedding went off without a hitch on the beach in open air. Then we moved to the tent for the reception. My contract stated that we had the rentals of the tables and tent until 10:30p.m. At shortly before 9:30p.m. my husband walked up and told me that the tent guys are here claiming they are being ordered by the owner to start breaking down the tent. I said no, we have another hour. The worker hands me his phone, and Gigi the owner very angrily says, " I don't care what the contract says, I'm not having my guys wait around!" The workers then starting moving the tables out of the way, and disassembling the tent in the middle of my reception! We had to have our guests help us move everything out of the way. I was very upset. This is not a way to run a business!!!! I was not given a refund for them arriving late or essentially ruining and shortening my reception. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that Gigi stole from us! Please, don't ever use this company. On a side note, my florist told me to expect this from this company when I went to pick up the flowers just before the wedding. She said this company is horrible!

Buyer beware - 0/5 Stars - Absolute nightmare

Prices listed on the website are intentionally misleading. Once you confirm your booking, Event Rentals will take advantage of you by hiking the prices with arbitrary, hidden fees, knowing you are without options or backups, and under immense stress preparing for your wedding.

We were partial to their prices, until two weeks before our wedding when we began receiving emails regarding their mysterious fee structures. The most absurd being for our Chuppah. On their website it’s listed for $625. Moving closer to our wedding date, the price was hiked to $75-$100 for on-sand setup. That we could understand, but the most absurd charge came for an additional $200 late night pickup fee because any item picked up after 5PM is considered late night. They did not communicate any of this information with us until a few days before our contract was to be signed. Leaving us without any options.

During setup on the day of our wedding, the owner of Event Rentals was incredibly aggressive, unpleasant, and rude. Stating he couldn’t get ahold of my husband all week. When he read back his number to me - he had the wrong number. Somehow made that our fault, even though we’d been in communication with his staff all week.

When he later returned at 4:30-4:40 PM to pick up the Chuppah - earlier than the initial pickup time - he started yelling at my husband because our vendor moved the Chuppah, and in the process, a piece of it was broken. This all transpired 15 minutes after my husband and I walked down the aisle! We were In the middle of taking photos with our family. While we were unaware of the broken piece or that the Chuppah was moved, and later equally upset that any of it happened - there is a time and a place. As stated in the previous review with my husband, if we were bound by contract for the damages, why rage on a customer on his wedding day?

Moving forward. We were informed it would be $350 to replace the part. All Event Rentals agreed to work with our planning company to cover the expenses. My husband asked him to not charge our card until they reached an amicable agreement with the vendors responsible for the damage. Guess what happened next? They tried calling our vendors over a 24 to 48 hours period after our last conversation. When they did not immediately answer, they charged our card. Somehow a mysterious $25 was tacked onto that charge.

All Event Rentals can respond and explain its behavior all it’s wants, but fundamentally, you’re an unethical and unpleasant business. Nothing you can say justifies fighting with a customer on his wedding day. You do not belong in this business if you think that’s acceptable behavior.

We enjoyed working Agatha and Michelle, both were kind, and responsive. But in the end, the owner has final say - your wedding deserves better energy than his unethical and unpleasant business practices.

Absolutely terrible customer service. Takes forever for anyone to respond to emails or phone calls. I had ordered an arch, 8 benches and 2 tables for my beach wedding and was short two benches when they arrived. The setup was rushed and sloppy and it took forever to receive a credit for the benches that didn't show up. I am still trying to receive some sort of compensation for the setup that had to be redone by my dad and one of my guests right before we walked down the aisle, but I don't have high hopes.

How on earth anyone can endorse this vendor is beyond me! We just had our daughters wedding on Saturday, 12/13/14. They were contracted to show up as close to noon as possible with a time line between 12 & 2:00pm (for a 4:00 ceremony.) They showed up at 3:45. With the help of family and friends, we were able to unload their truck and position the "benches" to start the ceremony by 4:10. By the way ... don't bother renting the cushions they picture on line and charge $5.00 each for. The cushions you will receive, are simply the Chiavari cushions (with Velcro fastener tabs and all) perfect for catching on your fine wedding attire so you are sure to take the cushion with you when you walk away! How embarrassing watching our guests unhook the Velcro fasteners from their clothing.

My suggestion ... pay a few cents more and find a different vendor. Their charges don't include delivery or set up. That is all additional and in the end, you will have gotten a better deal AND SERVICE across the street!
