    Easy - Professional - Organized

    We worked with Savannah, helped us with our rentals, and was very responsive when we needed to make changes or had special requests. Highly Recommend!

    Distinctive helped me provide things for my wedding and helped my father in law load them up! Very nice.

    So so great to work with!

    Distinctive Event Rentals is a great company to work with for weddings! COVID through my entire wedding planning process for a loop one month before the wedding. We had to completely transition to a backyard wedding and I became the main wedding planner. This company made it so much easier for me!!! They sent someone out very quickly to survey the yard and let us know what size tent we could have and then I worked with Savannah throughout the process who helped me cover all the bases and made sure I had a beautiful backyard wedding and it was perfect! They had absolutely every item I could possibly need and more! Highly recommend!

    On time on target pros!!! Beautiful inventory.

    There’s a reason Distinctive is a go-to for couples, planners, and everyone for all events in the area!! They are pros and deliver event after event after event. Our wedding went so smoothly in large part to them. Very knowledgeable as we had to pivot from a large reception venue to a backyard wedding during Covid. They could secure a clear tent and accommodate everything and let us know with weather which sides to keep up and down and how to place it. Very professional - on time delivery and pick up. Thank you guys a million.

    Just what we asked for

    Everything ordered was on time and correct. A few chairs had to be cleaned, but otherwise it was good. Gabrielle was a pleasure to work with.

    Very good choice

    Distinctive Event was my choice of vendor to accommodate our rental needs for my daughter's wedding held this past weekend at the Woman's Club of Portsmouth.

    Many months ago, Someone (cannot remember name) met us in their showroom where we were able to see exactly what we would be renting...no surprises day of event. Their prices were comparable to some of the other vendors but customer service was spot on. By time the big day arrived, our contract had been modified many times. Mostly due to my making multiple changes along the way. Distinctive staff were always polite and very patient with my changes. Always emailing most up-to-date version.


    I would certainly recommend Distinctive. Give them a call.

    Mary, thank you so much for your kind words. We are so happy to hear that everything went well for your daughter's big day and that we were able to be a part of it. It was a pleasure working with you!

    This company provided the tent, tables, chairs and the linen for our wedding. When we met with them we were not quite sure what we wanted, but they took their time and walked us through everything. You can not go wrong with hiring this company. They are great!

    The Distinctive Event Rentals team is incredible and their rentals are gorgeous! Distinctive is incredibly responsive during the entire process, will offer advice on anything you need help with and has no problem with you scheduling time to go take a look at their rentals and find the perfect items for your vision! Their team is so friendly and upbeat, and they did an exceptional job for our wedding! I was unbelievably impressed with the quality of their rentals - the farm tables and x-back chairs in particular have a serious wow factor! Highly recommend!

    Liz, we are thrilled you had such a fantastic experience with us! We are fortunate to have a fantastic group of people working here that take pride in everything we do.

    We held our reception for around 120 guests outdoors and rented a tent and accessories (dance floor, tables, chairs, linens) from Distinctive. Overall, we had a great experience! My now-husband and I planned our Williamsburg wedding from D.C.—Laura was willing to accommodate our schedule and met with us on a Saturday. The process was smooth and Distinctive was able to bring our vision to life, including assisting with some last-minute weather-related changes. Everything was dropped off and picked up without issue.

    Curated Events Chesapeake's reply:

    Christine, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate hearing from our customers. We are so glad Laura was able to make the experience a smooth one for you while you planned everything from D.C. We are happy we were able to bring your vision for your big day to life! We wish you and your husband nothing but the best!

    Distinctive Event Rentals went over and beyond for our wedding! From the first day we started working with Bill & Norma, our experience was so enjoyable. They are incredibly organized, professional and prompt - unlike many of the tent rental companies out there today. Every detail was executed perfectly and not to mention, a few days before our wedding they even took the time to come back out to our site and string additional lights that weren't in our original plan. They take so much pride in what they do and it's refreshing to see that these days. They are such a wonderful group of people. I can assure you that we will be using them again for any event we have in the future! Thank you Distinctive!!!

    Thank you, Megan, for your amazing review! We are extremely lucky to have the amazing staff that we do who take pride in everything we do.

    Distinctive Event Rentals was a great company to work with. They arrived first thing in the morning to deliver the chairs and wine barrels we ordered for my daughter's wedding reception. They put the chairs inside of the venue. The chairs were beautiful.

    We chose Distinctive Event Rentals for the backyard wedding of our Daughter and Son-in-Law and could not be happier! We communicated with Norma Freesmeirer and she handled everything like a pro! The guys who dropped off and picked up all of the tables, chairs, linens and air cooler were all very polite, professional and friendly. I never got the feeling that anyone was doing this because it was a job, but rather that this is their job and they were going to be the best at it! We will definitely use Distinctive Event Rental again if we have the need!!

    Our consultant, Norma, did an awesome job from start to finish - she knows her stock and is very sensitive to budget - she doesn't just push the expensive items unless that's what you want!! She was incredibly patient will all of my MANY change orders - there were quite a few and some were at the very last minute. Our total order was under budget, delivery was right on time, and we were not missing one piece of what we ordered. The dance floor was amazing and worth every penny - the vegetable cart that we used for the cake and desserts was so beautiful - everyone commented on it, even the manager of the venue wanted to know where it came from. I highly recommend these folks.

    Our experience with Distinctive was exceptional. They were always very responsive and very helpful in making decisions about what we needed. Norma was especially helpful to us in planning and choosing the things that were appropriate for our site and function. The set up and break down crew were tremendous. After the wedding you would not even know they had been there. Everyone is friendly and very helpful. It is a well-run and professional organization and we could not have been more pleased with their service.

    Distinctive handled all the rentals for a family event six years ago which is why I called them for a much larger event this time. They could not have been more flexible and accommodating! The linen selection was much larger than I was expecting based on the website but they looked at our daughter's Pinterest and suggested a perfect look. Things kept changing on our end but they took it all in stride. The delivery crew was polite and respectful and did not damage my yard which we had worked on for months. They really have a professional team!

    Distinctive Event Rentals provided tables, chairs, casual furniture and the tent for our daughter's wedding. The tent was gorgeous, especially with the lights after dark. When I looked back at photos on social media, it seems that everyone wanted to pose on a beautiful sofa that was outside. I was so happy with set-up and break-down. I was able to get my full deposit back because of that!
