Best 3 Wedding Rental Establishments as Voted by YOU

Chances are, if you’re getting married, you probably don’t have a hundred chairs, glasses, and forks lying around your house (Maybe you have the guts to host a "bring your own fork" wedding, but it's understandable if you don't). Luckily, wedding rentals are the norm, and you wonderful FINE readers voted on the three best rental companies in San Diego. These places want to give you whatever you may need for your wedding, no matter if it’s heat lamps, lights, tablecloths, along with oddities you won’t know you need until you go online, like raffle drums and fire pits. So, without further ado, here’s the best three wedding rental establishments San Diego has to offer.

Classic Party Rentals

Classic Party Rentals has over 30 years of experience in the business. They have locations in far-off lands like North Carolina, and they’re also the biggest tent rental company in North America. So if you’d like yourself an outdoor tent wedding, well... you know what to do.

Classic Party Rentals has relatively higher prices, but they’re worth it for the flexible service, friendly staff, massive selection, and high quality objects for rent. Just browse their clean, easy-to-navigate website for proof on the latter two; the couch selection is vast and irresistible. As for the good service, countless online reviewers assert that Classic has cheery employees. They help customers capture their visions for their dream weddings, and they’ll continue to be cheery even if you change your invoice 300 times. After your consultations, Classic will give you a diagram of the venue with all the rentals penciled in, so you can see how everything will be arranged. One downside to Classic Party Rentals is that they only take appointment on weekdays before 3pm. So if you’re set on Classic, hire a wedding planner or go on an extended lunch break.

Abbey Party Rents

Established in 1963, Abbey Party Rents has a lengthy mission statement, promising a lot: flawless punctuality, competitive pricing, a personalized feeling, a huge inventory, ethical consultants who tell you when you’ve over-ordered, and a promise to buy what you need if they don’t have it. These features are quite a tall promise, but solid reviews online prove that they stay true to their word. 

Abbey Party Rents does full-service consultations similar to those of Classic Party Rentals, plus on-site consultations. Abbey also has a cute assortment of vintage furniture items for rent, so antique charm-seekers should look no further.

In the end, these companies all do something pretty similar. You choose your items, the consultants provide their guidance, and the setup people come to your event. They arrange the rentals, vanish in their truck, and return later to whisk everything away. So if you can’t decide which rental company to hire, don’t worry too much, because anything voted into our top three is guaranteed to satisfy.
