We love Curated Events for all our tenting needs!
Curated Events is our go-to company to rely on for those rainy days. La’Toya is a pleasure to work with and the rest of their staff is also fantastic. They make it so easy for our clients to reserve a tent in the chance of poor weather and take care of the set up and break down. They transform our outdoor deck space into an area that can be used all year long! -

Amazing vendor - professional, caring, experienced
We worked with La'Toya at CuratedEvents to build out a walkway over a pool for our wedding. First, La'Toya is a gift of a human being and any bride would be lucky to have her on their team. She took my random idea and turned it into reality. She did CAD drawings, site visits, and was there to ensure my vision came to life day of. Second, CuratedEvents are professionals, they show up on time, communicate well, and perform at a high level. I could not recommend this company and La'Toya more! They made my wedding dreams come true! -

Beautiful rentals!
My wedding vision couldn't have come to life without Curated Events/ Capital Party Rentals. Nothing was missing from the delivery, and I'm so happy with how everything came together. Margaret and Aisha went above and beyond helping me decide on what rentals I wanted. -

Eleni Sent on 06/22/2012We worked primarily with Kathleen at Capital Party Rentals and were extremely pleased with every step of the process. Kathleen met with us twice and looked over pictures of our venue and flowers to help us pick linens and chargers that would tie everything together. Our venue had a very busy wallpaper that we thought would overpower the room, but with Kathleen's help, we were able to choose linens, napkins, and chargers that truly tied the whole design together and gave the room that perfect feel that we were envisioning. -

Lynnita Sent on 07/17/2011We were required to rent a tent for our venue. Capital Party Rentals had a custom tent, so we contacted them. I can't say enough good things about this company!
For starters, we did a site visit with snow and ice on the ground. Also, the staff were incredibly helpful - I never waited more than 24 hours for an email response or more than a couple of days for invoice changes to take effect. We had a lot of changes...I mean A LOT (up until the very last minute)...and Aisha never complained and got it done.
I wasn't there when the tent was set up and the linens/tables/chairs were delivered. However, everything was exactly as we agreed when I arrived and I didn't get an additional bill from the venue, so I know it was all taken down within an hour of the reception ending. If you need to rent a tent, tables, chairs, china, silverware, etc. I think this is your best bet! -

Laura Sent on 06/12/2009Great place to rent our linens from!!!! They let my mom pick them up a day early since she lives not even two miles from their offices! We had so many comments on how nice the linens were. I had to call multiple time to change the number of the linens and they were always polite and accommodating. -

Candita Sent on 05/21/2009I enjoyed working with Capital Party Rentals. They have a lot of options to choose from, and were happy to give me samples to take to the hotel so we could see how everything would actually look in the ballroom, which turned out to be a huge factor in deciding the colors of the linens. The room looked beautiful on the wedding day! -

Emma Sent on 06/07/2026High quality, beautiful rentals
My husband and I recently worked with Curated Events to rent linens and dishes for our wedding, and it turned out wonderfully! We live in the DC area but had our wedding in NC, so being able to visit the Tyson Corner showroom to pick everything out and then coordinate with the Raleigh location was really helpful. They had a wide selection of everything to choose from, although they are on the more luxury, expensive side. Our wedding turned out beautifully and we're obsessed with how the table settings turned out! The only feedback for the showroom is that it's really hard to find! Clearer instructions and/or signage would be helpful. My husband and I wandered around the building for a while trying to find the showroom and ended up running late to our appointment because of it. -

Jennifer Sent on 11/08/2019Great selection!
With so many rental companies to choose from for your wedding, it can be so easy to get overwhelmed, but truly look no further than Capital Party Rentals. From start to finish, Jason and Nancy made things so easy for me, even when I wasn’t the easiest bride to deal with at times. They have such a wide array of everything wedding related to choose from, and were full of great advice and knowledge to help me narrow it down to things I actually needed or hadn't thought of. Would highly recommend Capital for all your event rentals needs! -

User2370307 Sent on 10/15/2015Our venue handled the contract and contact with this vendor, so I don't have much to add. I do know that they delivered what we ordered and everything looked great! -

Christine Sent on 09/23/2011I worked with Margaret at Capital Party Rentals. She was a pleasure to work with and very, very accommodating of my requests. I rented square 5' tables for the reception and table linens. Margaret was helpful and knowledgable about room designs, considerations you should take into account when selected tables (center piece, abilty of your guests to talk across the table, look and feel in the room, etc.). She also helped me track down just the right shade of purple that I was looking for, for my table linens. She sent a sample table setting to my food tasting so I could see a the complete look...something I really appreciated since I am a visual person.
Everything was delivered on-time and in good condition. I would use Capital Party Rentals again for an event in the future. -

Cynthia Sent on 06/26/2010Lynn was very responsive and always accomodating when it came to my order. My order was exactly right on time and set up went fine. I enjoyed working with her. -

Lauren Sent on 09/16/2016I ordered both their large 12 person tables and chairs. The ordering process was extremely easy and the salespeople were very helpful. The delivery charge was also reasonable. They were delivered on time and in great condition. My only negative was the price of linens. It ended up being cheaper for me to buy linens than rent them from Capital Party Rentals. Overall I would recommend this rental company. -

Daisy Sent on 10/17/2008I went in to rent pipes and drapes for my wedding, I told them my venue had an 18 ft ceiling. They make me wait for an hour and was kind enough to set up a foot of pipes and drapes for me on the spot. I thought that was very nice of them. Then a day later, I called to get the length of the drape and they told me it can only go up to 14ft. I was irritated, I felt they lacked common sense. Why would I want 14ft drapes covering 18ft tall rooms?
I ended up just renting a cake stand from them. Cake stand was easy to pickup, clean and shiny and dropping off was easy too. Since I had it over a long holiday weekend, they did not charge me extra. Easy to deal with, minus the common sense part. -

Maya Sent on 07/23/2014My husband and I used Capital Party Rentals for our wedding held on Saturday, May 24, 2014 at the Carnegie Institute in Washington, D.C, as they came recommended to us by our caterer. Outside of 5’ and 6’ rounds and 5’, 6’, and 8’ rectangular tables that the Carnegie offered, we needed to rent all other items which included: Chavari Chairs, Linens, High Top Round Tables, Glassware, China and Flatware.
Pros
• Aisha who was our liaison at CPR was very friendly, responsive, and patient with all my e-mails
• Flexible and accommodating to changes in our order
• All items were delivered to the venue the day prior to the event and were picked up at the conclusion of the reception without issue
• Large selection of glassware, china, flatware, chairs, linens, etc. to choose from (all on display at the Dulles showroom)
Cons
• All available products and pricing not available online (planned our wedding from NYC thus e-mail communication and online browsing was critical)
• Having selected our linens 13 months in advance, I received a call the week of the wedding that 2 were damaged and they were unable to replace them. After going to the Dulles location and selecting a new ones, there was an issue with those. Although it was very frustrating going back and forth on something I planned well in advance Aisha was apologetic and gave us a discount on the replacement linens.
As a super organized bride I was happy with our overall experience with CPR. I caution brides to take initiative and review everything to make sure the order is correct and you have everything you need as you will be the only person to catch a mistake! Lastly, be sure to ask about ALL costs (delivery, fuel surcharge, setup, etc.) as these can really add up and break a budget! -

Hannah Sent on 10/06/2021Aisha Malik is unresponsive
Our venue has an existing tent that lives on the property and it's from Capital Party. If we need to rent a tent liner or a tent extension, we have to go through capital party because it's a tent that was purchased through them and is now discontinued so other vendors don't offer anything for it. Aisha Malik is the person who was in charge of our portfolio and she is the absolute worst. I've sent her emails requesting the payment portal so that WE CAN PAY and she's ignored it, I've called and left voicemails - no response, I've event texted and her read receipts are on so I know she's read them.... ignored me. This went on for the entire duration of our contract AFTER we signed... after 3 months of trying to get her to respond (I attempted to contact her on a weekly basis), I called a friend from the industry and said she's known for this kind of behavior. She recommended I call the general Sales line from their website, which I did. Yonis was the associate that picked up, apologized, and took care of it right away. He is the only reason I'm not rating all of this 1 star. -

User1410020 Sent on 10/29/2013I didn't read the reviews about Capital Party Rentals before using them, but I wish I would have! Like some other reviewers, I could not get my contact to call me back. Everyone I spoke with on the phone (Theresa specifically) was incredibly rude--like it was an inconvenience for me to do business with them. Maybe they're just really understaffed? Jason was the one shining star--when we finally just showed up without an appointment since no one would ever call us back--he was incredibly helpful and respectful of our budget.
I eventually got to the point with Capital where I asked the caterer to deal with them because I couldn't get a response from my assigned contact.
On the day of the wedding, they delivered the wrong colored chairs and napkins (they had told me they didn't have the color napkins I picked, and then they said they did have them, but they delivered my 2nd choice anyway). I didn't even bother to complain about the chairs being wrong--based on my prior interactions, I doubt anyone at Capital cares.
