Great Price and Experience overall
My son rented some wedding decorations, centerpieces and a tent for his gay wedding. I have to say that the customer support I received was top notch. Sales team treated my son like a celebrity and made sure he was completely happy with the rental products before the team left the venue. Since I am the one paying, i had initially asked ERDC to match a competitor's quote. James came back and actually beat it by a few hundred dollars. My son doesn't have a lot of money and every penny counts. I dont think we would have been able to do such a nice event without ERDC's help. I am truly greatful. -

Lowest Price but still nice tent
My new wife and I are young professionals and we needed a wedding tent. We contacted a few vendors like Select and they were ungodly expensive. They wouldn't budge with the price. We called Event Rentals and they worked within my budget ($1750). Tent looked nice. -

Beautiful Tent
I rented a large tent for my backyard wedding from ERDC. As some of the reviewers were saying, this company is fast and they always answer the phone. It is the reason i booked with them. On top of that, their pricing was very affordable. -

I had called other vendors about photobooths but literally no one responded in a timely fashion. I called their main line 571-882-1855 and talked to Cha. She was extremely patient and I really appreciated that she sent the quote the same day. -

Made My Wedding Beautiful
ERDC is a hidden gem in the DC area. I had heard of them before, but had not used them previously. However, I decided to give them a try for my wedding. My fiancée had found a 10% off coupon online. I called in, and sure enough they redeemed it. It saved us several hundred dollars! We decided to go with a clear top tent with string lights. My only small gripe was that the lights weren't bring enough but that's ok--Everything else looked so beautiful on our wedding day, especially at night. I could not be more pleased with how smoothly the rental experience was. -

Judy Sent on 02/03/2023Honest Vendor
I had called Event Rentals and 2 other companies for a quote for my big day. I told everyone that I had 100 guests and I needed a tent large enough (but not too large) to accommodate the guests. Out of the three companies, one comp never responded, the other company tried to oversell me on a tent that was too big. I only found that out when I spoke to James and he explained to me that I only needed a 20x80 tent max, not a 40x80. Instead of paying over $5000, I paid around $2300 and went with ERDC. -

Accommodated Last Minute Wedding
My new husband and I had reserved a venue and place settings from another vendor in 2019 for our wedding in 2020 which got postponed to 2021. Because of covid the previous vendor did not honor our deposit. We panicked and we called around and ERDC was the only company able to squeeze us in, despite the fact that they were pretty much full. James and Millie were great to work with. The crew was on time and helpful. -

Nice Clear Tent For Wedding
Thank you ERDC for making my wedding a reality! Honestly, they were the only vendor that actually picked up the phone and took my call. Everyone else blew me off. I wanted something chic and elegant for my wedding and I had asked for a clear tent. James was very friendly and guided me through the whole process. In the end I decided to go with the 30x20 clear tent with hanging lights and some cocktail tables for my guests. The tent looked wonderful with the lights. The crew was on time and even helped me move some of the furniture in my yard! I tipped them each $20 as well. Overall, great service, very nice price, cool tent and I am so happy I called them. -

Robert Sent on 01/28/2023Thanks for the great wedding and honoring vets
I had called ERDC about my son's wedding last year. I spoke with Valery and James and both of them always were so attentive to detail and always answered my calls, and if I could not reach either of them, someone always called me back. I rented a tent, table and chairs and they gave me a fair price and threw in a good discount because of my son's service in Iraq. On the day of the event, 2 crews came and set up a 40x80 tent with lights. I had a little bit of a problem communicating with the crew, but James and the team sorted that out. Event went flawlessly. My son and I could not be more pleased. Thank you for the excellent service and for honoring us. -

Deborah Sent on 04/24/2026Some major issues
I normally don't write reviews, especially not bad reviews but I had to let you all know. First the positives: They arrived on time, had a nice set up and had lots of props.
This company did NOT respond to any of my e-mails. I did not get a sample of what photo strip would like ahead of time. There was a type-o on it!
Also, we were given a four hour time slot and the guy asked to leave early when our guests were still there. Additionally, the photo quality was all blurry.
Sadly, I spent around $400 and I feel like it was a waste of money in the end. -

NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. I made a small order from this company (around $500) and spoke to who I thought was the owner James Hill, as he said he was the owner. He stated one price for delivery over the phone and when I got the quote it was a higher amount, although he knew all the details when he quoted over the phone. However, I was short on time for a planned event so I went forward and ordered the pipe and drapes.
On the day before the this company brought the flimsiest and most see-through drapes to my venue (even though I ordered opaque drapes in the contract) because they were covering windows. Additionally, the drapes were not the size I ordered. I called James Hill while the delivery men were with me there and he said he would try to fix it and call me back. HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK and stop answering my calls as the delivery men just sat there. So I could not accept the drapes and had to cancel entirely.
To add insult to injury, I had to engage my bank to dispute the charge because they refused to refund my money (for THEIR mistakes). AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. -

Beware of this company!
Please beware of this company & read the reviews!!! I ordered 45 resin chairs for my bridal shower. However, on the day of, they delivered dirty, rusty/bloody chairs, with some even having bird poop on them! I was soooo embarrassed and disappointed because we’ve planned this event for MONTHS! This company failed to communicate with me that they didn’t have the chairs after I already PAID THEM!! How can you treat customers like this? You take their money and don’t deliver what they paid for? I CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE BUT NO ANSWER! I EVEN EMAILED THEM AFTER CALLING THEM TO CALL ME…BUT STILL NO CALL! Instead they tried to email me saying the last customer didn’t return the chairs on time. Is this the type of service you want from a veteran owned business? This place is EXTREMELY fraudulent!! They have YET to refund me my money after they said they would! I will NEVER do business with this place again. Worst veteran owned business I’ve ever encountered. -

Emily Sent on 07/23/2024Horrible experience - do not use.
1) The chairs delivered for my wedding were filthy. I was shocked when my planner told me that many chairs were covered in dirt and bird dung. She (along with help from the venue staff) spent over an hour cleaning them.
2) Three separate chairs COLLAPSED while our guests were sitting on them. The guests literally fell to the floor! I feel lucky that, thankfully, nobody has reported any serious injury, apart from being shaken by this. I witnessed one of the chairs breaking underneath someone and was appalled and mortified.
3) We raised these extraordinary problems with the manager and other staff of Event Rentals. Although our wedding planner told us they initially promised to give us a full refund, they now refuse. We are stunned by their reaction. Our contact, James Hill, admitted there were lapses in their quality control. He admitted the chairs were not checked prior to my event and claimed he fired people over this. He now is denying this and says the chairs were fine. He is citing "improper use" of the chairs -- sitting is not improper use.
I noticed the chairs were dirty even before I knew my planner had spent time cleaning them (above and beyond her duties(. I was mortified when I noticed the stains on people's chairs (including my own). As the bride, I am horrified at this. I would never recommend this company to anyone.
