We couldn't have been happier with our decision to hire Sylvia and her team at Affordable Party…read moreRentals! Communication was always on time, and she was always supplying us with the information we needed. What I liked most about this company was that Sylvia gave me a quote along with different ideas and packages to choose from. Instead of me having to tell a company exactly what I wanted and how much I wanted to spend, I really liked having different options and packages to choose from. It made the whole process so much easier. We hired Sylvia for our daughter's 18th birthday party for about 25 people, and everything was perfect. They came early in the morning on the day of the event and set everything up, then came back about an hour before the party started with the food. Everything was right on time and looked amazing. The food was delicious as well, and we had plenty of leftovers. Not one complaint about the food, and these were 18-year-old girls, so that says a lot! We also had a photo booth and the telephone where the girls could leave private messages for the birthday girl. That was such a fun and special touch and ended up being one of my favorite things. Aesthetically, everything looked beautiful, and I'll add some pictures so you can see for yourself. Everyone we worked with from Sylvia's company was professional, friendly, and very efficient. At one point, the wind knocked over some of the photo booth decorations, and they came over right away and fixed everything without us even having to worry about it. One other thing I loved about working with Sylvia is that she is a Navy veteran. If supporting a veteran-owned business is important to you, this is a great way to do it while also getting an amazing product and service. I would absolutely recommend Sylvia and Affordable Party Rentals to anyone planning a party or event. They made everything so easy from start to finish, and we will definitely be using them again!

Responsive, affordable, and able to accommodate our times requested. I'd definitely hire them again!read more

I have changed my rating from one star to a five star after having heard from the business. Full…read moreapologies and full refund. "Good Morning Antonia, Just wanted to apologize for the frustration this morning with your heater order, the last thing we want to do is be a headache with event rentals - I will briefly explain a couple of things while we refund your order. It's true that we do have a 100% cancellation policy in place for same-day orders, many places do, and that's simply because many of these are resource-heavy and yet we enjoy fulfilling last-minute needs where needed. Even though it takes a large number of resources and overhead to implement, we know offering same-day services are crucial to events at times. We stop warehouse production in any department necessary, we recall a driver to come gather the new order, and we re-route them back on the road, hopefully balancing other orders already on the schedule.....all in an effort accomodate events in this great city. Secondarily, and more importantly - this cancellation policy will be immediately looked at internally because we should have some flexibility with it. Preparing a rush order for heaters does not consume the same resources as preparing a new order for tents, tables, linen, or cooking equipment - I understand that, and Dorca was simply doing what is asked of her. But this situation brings a good point to mind - when/how/where should we implement some flexibility and can we communicate it better. We will learn. Antonia, Raphaels has been in business in San Diego since 1980, always locally owned, I have been here myself for 16 years now, so we have absolutely NO intention of providing a disservice to our community, we are not interested in nickel and diming our clients, we understand events are a luxury to have and we enjoy being the backbone of many around town. Our intention is not to squeeze every last dime out of anyone - it's simply to be the best partner in town. Please accept my apology for the lack of flexibility with today's order and cancellation policy. I understand we have thoroughly frustrated you, yelp reviews, etc and if there is any way we can come to an agreement, or if you would accept my apology. I would welcome that. If there is anything you need in the future, email me directly and we'll make the next experience a great one, I promise.

My sister contacted this company for tables and chairs for her daughter's birthday this past…read moreweekend (4/21/18). She had a lot of planning going on so I decided to step in and lend her a helping hand. She asked if she could leave my number down so I can be the contact for confirmation and planning (delivery/pickup time, etc) to which I happily obliged. I thought with all the rave reviews that I wouldn't have to go out of my way to contact them to make sure they still had my order, but I was wrong. We chatted with a rep for the company named Amy R. And she was not pleasant at all. First she said we never confirmed the order so they canceled it. When we asked what form of communication the company used, she said email and phone which is a blatant lie because neither of us received any form of communication. I'm not sure if they had the wrong number down, or wrong email, or there was a glitch in the system, but in no way did they "try to" reach us. As the rep Amy was unprofessional and unhelpful, she wanted to charge us a $50 fee to UNcancel our order. We told her we'd leave a review due to the unfairness and unprofessionalism to which she responded with "good luck with that". We ended up having to desperately look for another company who was able to deliver the same day and pay a little extra, but they were friendlier and more professional. This is a little rant due to frustration, but it's more of a warning to those who are looking to rent from them. Beware of them not coming through on their end. I wouldn't order from this place again to avoid the stress they caused.

I called several businesses that supply tables and chairs to rent. A few never called back and two were not easy to work with. I called San Diego Party Pros and spoke to Mike. He helped me with my order. He even said he would supply the red tablecloths the bride wanted even though they weren't on their site. So happy!! The drop off and pick up were seamless. They set up and moved the tables for us. They also picked up. They gave us a one hour window and were on time. I highly recommend SDPP as they were great! I was worried about the party and they made it easy for us. We really appreciate your hard work! Thank you!

If you're an event planner, this review is for you. If you're just ordering a few pieces, you'll…read moreprobably be fine. Their inventory is beautiful (that's why two stars instead of one), which is why selected them for a weekend of multiple Christmas 2023 activities for my boss's family. I won't go into long details and I fully expect a response from the company blaming me (as I see they've done to other reviewers). Basically, they strongly lack in internal communication as a team, will put substitutions on your order without telling you (and then deliver them anyway), will not care if they mess up, and promise to order custom color linens (that they offered to do) but then you find out day-of that they don't have them. They may even be spiteful as to not reply to urgent messages the day before the first event...and a threaten, at 8pm the night before Christmas Eve, to not show up. As an event planner knows, sometimes clients don't give detail decisions until the last minute. A professional, experienced rental company knows how to go with the flow and works as a team to make the event great. Especially when they're making near five figures, plus generous delivery gratuities at each delivery. These are not experienced professionals. They probably thought I forgot to write this review, as I told them I would do. I stayed calm and respectful during the process (over fear they really wouldn't show up, due to their attitude). But I am obviously still resentful as I plan this year's events. I wanted to be sure other event planners were warned to look elsewhere....as I am doing this year. I truly hate writing negative posts, but this is what I read reviews for as well.
