I rarely write reviews, but Abbey Party Rents showed such compassion and good service this week that I wanted to share. I had to cancel an event due to an injury/family emergency and even though the items were loaded on the truck they were extremely accomodating and compassionate. Will definitely be using them again. Thank you Abbey read more

We planned a celebration of life for my Dad and Abbey Party Rents was exceptional. We contacted them very last minute and they had the tables, chairs and supplies. They delivered and picked up on time and very efficiently and the crew was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will use them again! read more

Rented 45 white padded chairs for my wedding, paid and everything and day of they never showed up. My venue called them and they said sorry, they mixed up the dates. They gave me a refund but honestly not enough. Do not book with them. read more

Just want to give a shoutout to Eilias "Eel". They were able to help me throughout the process of deciding the best layout for my event. Communicated effectively and gave me options to work with. Very happy with their service! read more

We were a little late looking for a small of a few tables & 29 chairs. We'd been working with another company, but they happened to be booked and recommended Abbey Party Rentals. Props to the other company for the excellent recommendation! While Abbey was booked for delivery, they had the items we needed and we able to pick them up. From the moment I drove up to the moment I drove away after dropping everything off the following Monday (Fri-Mon rental) I couldn't have been more pleased. First of all this place is huge (to me) and from the first employee that waved me into the pick-up area to every employee that I ran into (~5-6) they were helpful in navigating to the office, explaining things, and I think they genuinely appreciated the awe in my face as I walked through the warehouse to the office. If you've never been it's absolutely amazing the work that goes on behind the scenes of a rental company that you would never know if you had items delivered. With paperwork completed in the office two guys loaded what I thought for sure would be 2 loads (30 min drive each way) into a single load in my SUV, complete with the load tied down (with their rope... which I was reminded to return. :) ). I waited to write the review until I returned the items to see if the return was as great as the pickup, and it was. They were not as busy so one employee unloaded the entire load, complemented me on the loading and securing the load. I had to tell him I took pictures when I got home so I could do it exactly the same and he started laughing and knew exactly who loaded/tied it down (said "he's the master" and thanked me for returning the rope). The initial work to set things up with Eilias was very efficient and helpful. Again, couldn't have been more pleased. My only tip was that while they have a HUGE selection of linens (that I was able to see in their showroom) we only needed basic black. The linens were a bit pricey so we opted to purchase them at about 1/2 the rental cost and that saved us considerable money. We will use both the linens, and Abbey Party Rentals again . . . thank you for your exceptional help and service with such a small order! It made me feel important regardless of order size! read more

In preparation for our son's Celebration of Life, we went to the rental company we had always used for so many years, Abbey Rents. After the delivery truck had left, we saw that it was badly leaking oil, and had left an ugly streak all the way up our newly-resurfaced driveway. I called Abbey that day to let them know what happened, and was told a supervisor would get back to me. Crickets. So I sent them an email with a video of the driveway attached, and asked for help. I suggested that all they had to do was look under their truck to see that it was pouring oil. Again, crickets. This is not the way to treat any customer. No one expects a poorly maintained truck to damage their property making a delivery (that we paid for), nor do they expect to be IGNORED when the damage they caused is swiftly brought to their attention. See you in Small Claims Court guys...too bad you didn't just step up and do the right thing. read more

We used Abbey's for our wedding 7.29.23. Cortnee was my POC and she was awesome! We updated our order multiple times and each time she was quick to send a new estimate without making me feel like an inconvenience. Rentals arrived on top and were beautifully cared for. Thank you Cortnee and team for helping to bring our day together. Cheers! read more

We used Abbey Party Rentals for our wedding on 8.24.2024. They were very responsive, especially when we had changed the order two days before the event. We worked with Eel and had a great experience. The rentals arrived on time, were in good condition, and were picked up on time after the event ended. I enjoyed working with them! read more

At approx 3:45 pm on 6/21/18, your "driver" decided to run a stop sign flying out onto Campo Rd without even looking. We had to slam on the brakes to miss the idiot and we were going the speed limit. It was a straight road and the light to his right was already yellow, so I guess he just needed to be in front at any cost? This moron is going to cause a wreck and is a horrible representation of your company. This is coming from a former OTR driver and a current school bus driver. We are no stranger to commercial or professional driving. read more

Abbey party rentals was amazing! They were friendly on the phone, had exactly what we needed, plus pick-up and drop-off was super easy. Staff was wonderful. Would definitely be using them again for sure! read more

Unfortunately this review is not a good one. We went through Abbey for our wedding because of good notes from friends of ours and I'm bummed we did. The beginning process was all very easy and went well and they handled any changes right away until a week before the wedding. I had realized I needed to order chairs which they had never offered or thought of when I was placing an order for a bunch of tables but that was fine. It was weird because the person who actually responded to that change wasn't the person who I had initially been working with but anyways. They completely messed up the orders by not delivering things we had paid for. They called me the morning of the wedding with news they would be late and the call was 15 minutes late already from the time they were supposed to deliver (which was paid for). They overcharged me for things that were never ordered. Just don't waste your time going through this company if you don't want to have stress on the day of your wedding. The only positive is they gave us a PARTIAL REFUND! Ridiculous. read more

I used Abbey Party Rentals for my son's wedding July 21st 2018. They handled my numerous phone calls and changes professionally and promptly. The day of wedding there was a misunderstanding regarding set up which was handled perfectly. I live in San Clemente but if I lived in San Diego I would definitely use them again . read more

When all of our wedding plans were thwarted time and again, my wife and I finally settled on doing a small backyard ceremony locally. Right from the start, the staff at Abbey was fast and efficient and put together a quote. They worked with us to help us understand all of the items and to make recommendations. When we changed our mind or needed things added they quickly updated our quote and were in constant communication. They delivered the items right on time and helped us get everything setup. Thanks to them we were able to have the perfect wedding! read more

Let me start off by saying how helpful Jackie is! After researching a few companies for our small wedding, I went with Abbey Party Rentals because they were affordable and they were great at communicating. She sent me pictures of what I was interested in, and quickly changed my quotes. When the truck arrived for drop off, they moved fast. In and out quickly! It was awesome. My only issue was the people unloading did not wear a mask. I kept my distance, so it was fine! I am so grateful for Jackie and the Abbey Party Rents crew. They helped make the day look fantastic! read more

We rented a PA System for our wedding at Sunset Cliffs. The PA system that they delivered had a dead battery and was unusable for my wedding. There was no music or microphone at my wedding ceremony. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! Especially for your wedding day or any other major life event!!! read more

I am has been incredible to help us without inflex of events and we really appreciate this professional prompt service. Detail orientated and problem-solving minded. The best in San Diego hands-down. read more

I needed four belly up tables within a week and happy that I found Abbey Rentals. Eilias (Eel) was extremely helpful booking the equipment, friendly and professional. When I arrived to check in, three different people offered to help me. The pickup and return people were friendly and willing to assist me. I couldn't ask for a better experience and I will no doubt return the next time I need to rent Party equipment. read more

Absolutely loved working with Abbey Party Rents for our wedding! Ryan was especially exceptional, though the whole team was so helpful and responsive. They really made our vision come true (and helped us form the vision a bit too). We got so many compliments the day of, and more importantly it was exactly what we wanted. They were so easy to work with and accessible through phone or email. Cannot recommend more highly! They took off a lot of stress in what could be a stressful process! read more

Professional service time after time. They are so professional, great costumer service and easy to work with. Been using Abbey for years now and felt its time to write the review. Jackie is always so pleasant and helped me with my last event. I was short a table 2 hours before my party and she managed to get the delivery guys to bring me one! Thank you so much Jackie! Five stars all the way! read more

I hired Abbey's for my wedding and they were great. They were communicative during the process and explained all my options in detail. The team member who did our on-site consultation was very helpful! The team that dropped off and picked up the rentals were very professional as well. read more

I called abbey's 800 number the sales chick was pretty nice and helpful, got my orders ready to go. Told me I can save money if I just came by and pick up the linen table clothes instead of it being delivered to the office for 70 bucks. I'm like ok cool I'll do that. I'm not far from mira mar. I went on over there one afternoon, walked into the showroom that looks totally outdated as well as the customer service area. Walked over to counter, stood there for a few seconds and finally greeted the girl behind the desk. I told her the purpose of my visit my info, she doesn't look at me but goes on and shuffles around in a tray to find the purchase order, couldn't find it. I repeated my purpose again but this time SLOWLY I think it finally went into her brain and not out the other ear, she looks through it again and picks it up. The order was for 60 dollars, she doesn't say anything, and I hand over the credit card, as if I'm a mind reader, takes the card and slowly walks over to charge the card, comes back and gives me the slip to sign I check out the reciept what the... $119?!! Um, I believe the invoice is for $60, she takes the slip from me looks at it and matches it up with the invoice, walks over to the machine to void the charge. Didn't even say sorry or nothing. Finally she comes back and hands me the the papers and gets my signature and gives me my paperwork. All right I say in my head where do I go now and where do I pick up the my linens?!! Homegirl still didn't say a word! I started to get irritated, but thought better of it why let this indolent worm ruin my day. I asked her where I go to pick up my things, she looked at me like I'm an idiot, sighs and tells me it's in will call... UGH YEAH where the Fudge is that I've never been here before you Fudge face. OMG are you serious. They must get lots of service to not care of what I think. Will call was in the back of the building I walk over inconveniently; the service guys asked where my car was I'm like dude I just came here to pick up linen nothing that weights a ton. Got my shiz and walk to my car in the hot weather almost sweating. After a week of using the linens, I returned it today, of course I went into the main entrance, cause I was never told where I was suppose to return them. Same thing I had to go over and talk to indolent, I asked her where to drop this off she picks up the phone and says the guys are out to lunch no one is back there without dialing, one of the other employees says there is someone there, she didn't even bother calling anyway. I asked if I could drop it off here, she said no. FUDGE now I have to walk my ass to will call in hot sweating weather again. I just can't believe they couldn't even cut me some slack and take the damn linen right then and there. read more

I had a great experience using Abbey. I actually planned on using a different company for my wedding needs but my caterer preferred Abbey. I am so happy I went with Abbey. They have great products, they were professional, timely and patient. I shopped around A LOT! If you are in doubt about who to use, I recommend visiting a few companies and seeing their warehouses. I was blown away how poorly many of the companies maintained their inventory. By far, Abbey took the best care of their products and their showroom looked the best. Abbey was not the cheapest but the offered the best payment terms and I was confident that my guests were not going to be sitting on chairs that might collapse! My wedding was beautiful. Even though I was on a budget, Abbey's products helped create and experience that looked as though I spared no expense. I would highly recommend them and I would gladly use them again. read more

We rented a large dance floor and lighting from them for our wedding. They provided the best prices by far and everything was delivered as scheduled and looked great! Highly recommended read more

One of the greatest experiences! I'm getting married in July 2014 and I have booked Abbey for all my party rentals like chairs, tables, linens, and heaters. Even though, my wedding hasn't happened yet they have been so helpful and friendly! I'm a control freak kind of bride and they are happy to answer my emails and phone calls every promptly. Not only is their service spectacular, but their furniture and equipment is top of the line. They always have new items coming in and none of their stuff ever looks worn or outdated. I'm so happy I hired them for my wedding and can't wait to hire them for more events in the future :) You will be happy you booked Abbey for any event! read more

This is my go-to place for all of my rental needs. I love how they also offer online chat on their website, so it was convenient for me to talk to them at work ;) Hehe... Anyway, I think I know almost everyone who works there. They are friendly (much friendlier than Classic Party Rental), reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. I am the type who constantly make changes to an order, but luckily, they didn't seem to mind and they only charged me when the event was 2-3 days out. I also like how they carry a lot of stuff. You'll find some stuff that you won't find in other places, like at Classic Party Rental so it's nice to see a variety of things instead of seeing the same old things. Their prices are competitive and they also do price matching. I never had a problem with my rental going out of stock (read my review on Raphaels!) nor did I have a problem with their drop-off or pick up. They came at around the time they said they would, so no complaints there. I'm a happy customer! read more

Honestly, Abbey's went above and beyond for our event!! I will be a customer for life! We were throwing a Gala fundraiser for our school this weekend and when our dance floor arrived, I guess I ordered it too small for our group size. They not only sent the guys out to fix it before the party, but they gave me an excellent price because they felt someone should have helped us order the correct size. So considerate! On the same day (party day), out of nowhere there was a chance of rain in the evening. I called them again and Daniella was amazing! She could tell I was stressed out and was so kind. Trying to fit delivery back into their schedule. She sent the guys back out AGAIN to tent over the dance floor & DJ area and gave us an amazing break because it was a school fundraiser. We were so grateful and our event went off without a hitch! Thank you!! You guys were so great! read more

We had a great experience using Abbey Rents for our 135-person wedding. Over the course of six months, we emailed them many, many times, and they were always friendly and helpful. We appreciated their thoroughness- not only did they update our order each time, they always made sure what we asked for made sense logistically (matching linen size with table, etc). We mainly dealt with Rocio and Heather, and both were great. The setup on the day of our wedding was perfect, despite a somewhat tricky diagram. I will definitely use Abbey Rents again next time I plan an event. read more

We got married abroad in December but had our reception in April and after much searching (and YELP reviews) decided to go with Abbey Party Rentals. We are glad we did!! Our party was on a Saturday, a backyard house party. They offered a discount if you could have things delivered on a Friday (and picked up the following Monday), so we took advantage of that because of the location. They dropped off and picked up early. They did the set-up and when there was issues with the sound system, they not only replaced it but refunded part of the cost. So, when you are needing party rental for your event, Abbey is the way to go. read more

Abbey Party Rents was wonderful to work with! They are fairly affordable, responsive, and easy to work with. Their drop off and pick up was seamless, and hassle free. Highly recommend! read more

These guys were GREAT. After a little hick-up on the size of the tables, I called and the friendly staff handled it quickly and professionally. They were willing to work with us and the party went off without a hitch. The delivery and pick up was on time, the linens were well maintained. The chairs were in very good condition. The party was a HUGE success thanks in part to Abbey party rentals. Will definitely use them again. read more

I Really like this rental company I have used them at least six times. Order is always correct. On time. Linens are clean and crisp. Rentals such as chairs and umbrellas are always in great shape. I have used other companies and They are not consistant or their umbrellas are ratty. read more

I use this company al of the time. They deliver on time and the best price in San Diego. I gave them a 4 out of 5, because sometimes, the chairs are a little old. I don't mind the tables because we always use tablecloths. Anyway, I will continue to use them! read more

Working with Abbey party rents was a breeze,they were extremely helpful,knowledgeable and patient......all up until the morning of my wedding. There was a small issue and I took it upon myself to call that morning when I should really be enjoying myself with my bridesmaids. It's been almost 7 months since so I can not remember her name, it was probably the WORST customer service I had ever experienced in San Diego. The owner knows who I'm talking about and I really hope he's had a long and serious talk with this particular person. All I can say is had I known I would be treated this easy the morning of my wedding I would have NEVER gone through Abbey's. read more

We rented an electric transit box with trays for our wedding reception. They always answered my calls and emails promptly. They showed up on time for delivery and pick up. I have no complaints. read more

We planned our wedding from afar and must have called Abbey at least a dozen times to alter our order. They were most efficient and accommodating with all our requests. They are also extremely knowledgeable about the audio of the ceremony, and place setting needs of your guests. Go with Abbey rentals- You won't be disappointed! read more

I just rented more than $1000 in furniture from this company and it was really the worst choice I've made. I always look for reviews when I am buying something, so I feel I should share my experience so people don't go through the same thing I did. All the process until I paid was great, but after I paid I had a hard time trying to get emails answered so I called the company and Christine was very rude answering my questions. But this was nothing compared to what happen on the day of my party. At the day of my party the elevator of my building broke down, and I was very worried about how I was going to make it happen having to bring everything through the stairs, and specially the access for my guests. I was already expecting to have to pay an extra charge because of the issue, and that's when Abbey delivery guys arrived. I was expecting from an event company (that supposedly are used to have problems and solving them), was a solution, but what I got from them was the very opposite. Their guys were very rude to me when they first arrived and heard the bad news, and then their manager (a girl that I don't remember the name) called me yelling at me because of the stairs situation. I mean it was just 4 floors, and I understand it was definitely not convenient, but again, you expect that a company like that to solve the problems and not creating more problems than what the event planner already have. I asked the very rude lady to stop yelling and make the guys bring the furniture up and charge me more if needed. In the end my delivery costs ALONE were $400 (and I live 20min away from their warehouse). It took them 45 minutes to deliver everything, but what bother me most was the treatment that I got. I definitely do not recommend this company. You don't want to hire service that gives you more problems and specially from people that are not professional at all that yell at their clients when they have no control over the situation. I hope this will people to not go through the same thing as I did. read more

I ordered rentals (chairs, tables, linens, lighting, glasses, bar ware, plates, basically everything) from Abbey Party Rentals for my wedding in July in San Diego. I was pretty stressed out prior to finding Abbey (since I live in NY but got married in SD), but Ryan was awesome! He was really communicative, and helpful and made it a point to meet with me each time I was in town and went to the venue on his own with our caterer to map out how the reception would work. I had a bunch of last minute requests and Ryan was really easygoing about the process. Everything looked beautiful the day of the wedding and we got a lot of compliments from guests about the decor. I would definitely rent from Abbey Party Rentals again. Make sure to ask for Ryan when you call! read more

We contacted Abbey to rent a dance floor for our wedding only 7 days before the big day! They were so easy to work with given the short notice. We were so happy with how the dance floor turned out. I highly recommend Abbey for rentals! read more

I have used APR for many, many work events over the last few years and realized I hadn't taken time to Yelp about it. They are consistently reliable and so efficient with the order processing, invoicing, etc. Delivery and pick up always go smoothly and equipment is always as expected. They have a great variety of items to choose from so they can really be your one stop shop. The staff on the phone as well as the delivery/pick up staff are super friendly! They are also very quick to try to accommodate changes to your order even if it's last minute, so long as they have items in stock. I've enjoyed using them so much for work events that we have used them for a personal party as well. I plan to continue using APR for all future event needs. It really is such a relief to have a consistently reliable party rental company! read more

I'm so incredibly pleased with the customer service here! I had a small order that I needed last minute for a bridal shower and despite the fact that it was a super small set of linens I needed, the staff was incredibly helpful to make sure I got just the right product that I was looking for and helped me sort out how to make my order the most efficient! I've dealt with so many rental companies for parties and I'd highly recommend them! They're incredibly responsive, very organized, and extremely friendly to work with. I'll definitely be going back with my future rental needs. They're truly a pleasure to work with! read more
