    Great team!!

    American Party rentals are fantastic! Their team is extremely responsive and helpful! After meeting with them in the showroom I made a couple of changes and additions via email. This was a super easy process and Natalie Bell was so helpful! The team is very knowledgeable! We rented tables, dishware, and linens from them! We highly recommend them! Also, we found almost all our vendors from the American Pary Rentals website as they list the vendors used at weddings they showcase on their website.

    Wonderful Experience

    I had a wonderful experience working with Sarah and the others at American Party Rentals for my daughter's wedding rentals. I rented chairs, napkins, and Pipe & Drape and all of the items were as expected and of good quality.

    Beautiful tableclothes

    American party rentals provided beautiful tablecloths for our wedding! We had burgundy and green velvet tablecloths which were absolutely gorgeous and tied the room together. Highly recommend using them for your next event!

    Wonderful selection and service!

    APR was excellent to work with. I met with my coordinator for an appointment to select various rentals for our wedding. Natalie was awesome! She was friendly, professional, and very attentive to questions via email. All rentals were delivered and the day went off without a hitch! Highly recommend!

    Easy, stress-free, tons of options!

    American Party Rentals, especially our rep Natalie Bell, were amazing from beginning to end. We used them for both the rehearsal dinner and reception, and they were super accommodating with delivery and pickup despite it coinciding with a holiday! They had tons of options when we toured their show room and Natalie had everything we had considered set up so we could see what it would all look like together. Communication was quick, easy, and thorough even with last minute questions, and we were able to make modifications right up until the end which was wonderful because things kept popping up that we hadn't thought of! Natalie was super helpful with answering questions from her experience doing many weddings, and we were able to get exactly what we wanted because they had so many choices, colors, and endless combinations of tablecloths, plates, glasses, etc. I would highly recommend American Party Rentals and Natalie!

    Great customer service!

    Cedrika from APR stuck with us through many months of initial planning meetings, date changes, venue changes, guest count changes, and much more. Their website made it easy to view their catalogue and pricing, while Cedrika provided excellent customer service. When we encountered an issue with some of the seat cushions, the owner personally delivered replacements and helped correct some issues with the tent which was rented from a different company. The day turned out beautifully!

    Beautiful touches for our wedding

    American Party Rental was great to work with. The staff was professional, accessible, and helpful. They have a great selection and reasonable prices. Items were delivered and picked up on time and were in great condition. They also have great relationships with our other vendors which was helpful when we needed to add to or modify our order.

    Stylish Rentals, Great Customer Service!

    We had a great experience working with American Party Rentals. We rented dishes, flatware, glassware, coolers, and a dancefloor. Picking out our items online was really easy, and I was quickly connected with Cedrika, who was really friendly and easy to work with. She helped me think through quantities, and was great at finding a substitute when one of the plates we wanted was out of stock. It was easy to update our order closer to the wedding date when we had our final numbers. Pick up and drop off went really smoothly, and all of the items were exactly as pictured online. I would happily work with them again on any future events!

    Excellent & Amazing

    There are no other vendors we would have worked with for our reception to decorate it as beautifully and elegantly as American Party Rentals did. We met Cedrika at the Museum of Life & Science's Love + Science event, and hit it off from the start. She had me in the showroom within a few weeks, and I loved all the color and fabric options for the table linens. We quickly found the combination we wanted- and there were so many fantastic options! This place has an eye for style, and reasonable prices. We'd work with them again!

    APR made rentals easy for us!

    Cedrika could not have been more lovely when we visited American Party Rentals--she is so personable and easy to work with. In fact, we had another appointment scheduled at a different rental provider, and after spending the morning at APR, we cancelled the other appointment. At no point did Cedrika upsell us. Rather, she figured out what we needed and the look we were after and spent a lot of time going over different ways we could get that look affordably. APR has a good variety of options for you to play with. And it did feel like playing! It was a lot of fun to mix and match tableware and linens to see how the different combinations looked.

    Our wedding was at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, and I was thrilled with how seamlessly APR worked with the museum. After we chose our rentals, we had to do very little--the rest went through the venue, even when we had to make some last minute changes to accommodate changed table sizes. The rentals were delivered on time, they looked great, they were reasonably priced, and it was an easy process. I highly recommend this company!

    Professional, excellent quality

    Having worked with American Party Rentals through my job, I knew they were who I would use for my wedding. They provided linens, table settings, tables, and chairs for my at-home wedding. They worked with me as I went back-and-forth about linen colors and hosted me in their warehouse office so I could make sure everything coordinated. Come the wedding, everything arrived as ordered, on time, and in excellent condition. I couldn't recommend more highly!

    Great Selection of Rentals!

    We wanted a very distinct look for our wedding, and American Party Rentals had a large array of linens and dishes for us to customize our event. Visiting their showroom and planning out the look of our tables was a really smooth process, and they were all very helpful as we worked with our planner and debated over napkin colors. Overall I think they did a great job of helping us create our look, and we were so pleased with how everything came together on the wedding day!

    The perfect touch!

    All of those little items that you don't think about needing until...well you need them...was catered to perfectly by APR. A recommended vendor by our venue, after looking at their website, it was no contest that they had an amazing variety of rentals while still being insanely cost effective. We focused mainly on rentals needed for the dinner portion of our reception: linens, glassware, flatware, china, etc. and when we went in for a visit to their warehouse, we were actually able to pull some of our favorite pieces and set a table so we could see what it would all look like together. Even their basic pieces were gorgeous (because I could've cared less about having intricate designs on our forks and knives...but if you're into that kind of thing, you better believe they have it!). We chose two items to draw our focus on: a TO DIE FOR blue velvet table linen for the head and cake tables and a peacock patterned salad/dinner plate that brought just enough subtle uniqueness to set the tone for the whole evening. I also loved that Natalie gave me samples of all of the linens that we picked out so I had them to reference when making other color and design choices!! They also supplied our dance floor, which was the perfect touch.

    Abby at American Party Rental was great to work with. I must have changed my order a dozen time and she was always happy to help and quick to respond. Everything we ordered was perfect and exacting what we wanted!

    Great Service!

    We thoroughly enjoyed working with Natalie to plan our big day. She walked us through everything and helped us to think through lots of little details that we would otherwise have forgotten about! American Party Rentals had a great selection of items for us to choose from. We also appreciated that they had enough of each item to accommodate our large number of wedding guests! Everything went very smoothly on the day of the wedding. Would highly recommend!

    We used American Party Rentals because they have a strong relationship with our venue, and it was the easiest part of the process. Their prices are reasonable, they have great selection, and they were very flexible through multiple updates to the order. They set everything up before our rehearsal and overall they were a zero stress vendor to work with.

    Chad with APR was great to work with. He was really professional and down to earth, and took the time to answer all of my questions. There was another rental company we consulted with that was less expensive, but we ended up going with APR because of the quality of their products and the fact that we never felt like we were being "sold" anything. Chad would make suggestions based on how couples typically rent, and would always suggest a few options with different price points.

    Our final headcount ended up being WAY lower than we anticipated (everyone had to travel for the wedding) and we had to cancel a lot of stuff we reserved, cutting our invoice total in half. Chad was cool about adjusting everything and was really accommodating. Our rentals were delivered on time the day before the wedding and packaged in a way that made it easy to find and set up everything.

    We would definitely use them again! Go with APR!

    APR was extremely helpful in responding to our many and changing requests for our wedding reception. Their service was prompt and professional, and the staff was more than willing to make suggestions or talk through requests. And the tent and lights helped save our guests from afternoon thunderstorms in great style!

    We worked with APR for our September 2012 wedding reception at the Duke Gardens. APR has a wide enough selection of dishes, linens, chairs, etc. that you feel like you can customize the feel of your wedding but not so large that it is an overwhelming process. If you like, they will even help you develop a vision for your event and then help you choose your rentals to actualize that vision. You can also schedule a consultation on the weekends, which was very convenient for my spouse and I due to our work schedules. I highly recommend working with American Party Rentals for your next event.

    I particularly was impressed with the friendliness, flexibility, and professionalism of the staff. Because the order, delivery, and pick up were flawless, I could relax and enjoy myself.

    I will add that Durham Catering Company placed our order. These two companies worked beautifully together so there were absolutely no glitches.
    It was a beautiful evening!

    We were lucky to have a close friend whose husband works with American Party Rentals. Still, while he was able to walk us through the process, I think the service would have been just as good without an inside contact. APR has a helpful checklist to remind of of all the small details you might have forgotten (creamers to hold milk for the coffee service; trash cans for clean-up, etc.) which was incredibly useful to us, as we were already a little overwhelmed with other details. It felt great to know nothing was being left out. At the same time, though, we never felt pushed to rent more than what we really eneded, or to upgrade to a higher-priced rental.

    The color selection for linens is GREAT and they gave us honest advice about which chairs were comfortable, which were worth the money, etc. They also had many, many options for delivery and set-up, so we were able to save ourselves the hassle of "unbagging" each chair by paying them to do that, but were also able to save ourselves some money since we were willing to arrange the chairs in rows ourselves.

    Basically, the selection is good, the options and many and flexible, and delivery and pick-up happened right on schedule. Easy, simple, and efective - exactly what you want in a rental company! Also, I should mention - all of the items we rented were in perfect condition - not a stain or crack to be seen.

    American Party rentals was great to work with! They helped us through the overwhelming task of planning out all the little details of what we needed for our outdoor venue. Jason was great in helping with our tent, which required lots of last minute changes due to the weather forecast. We used lanterns for the lighting in our tent and it was so beautiful! They created a really nice atmosphere during the wedding and look great in photos and our video! American Party has a nice selection and were very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them!
