We've utilized Big Island Tents for two very special events for a non-profit I work for and I cannot say enough great things about their company and their staff! In addition to creating the most magical setups, they worked hand and hand with us to make sure the every single detail was planned out so that it was as stress-free as possible. They helped connect us with other amazing local businesses to partner with, they consistently go above and beyond what we ask for, they donated extremely generously to make sure that the children being celebrated got all they asked for and then some, were extremely responsive and helpful. They are our go-to partner when it comes to events on Hawai'i island. We love our Big Island Tents 'Ohana! read more

They have EVERYTHING you need for your party or wedding needs! These guys were efficient in set up and showed us how to take the walls on or off if we needed to, set up the games, and one even offered to come help with the imu pit the following morning. They made one stop reserving so easy with everything we needed to build our wedding venue in a field. Look no further for all your event needs! read more

We spent almost a year planning for our wedding at Hulihee Palace. Jade and Paul were awesome to work with. A week before the wedding we found out the storm of the century was coming, the Kona Low. We were warned that the rains would be okay but winds may prevent us from tents being set up and we would have been forced l to cancel our wedding. Big island tents saved the day. They withstood the rains and winds and all we heard from our guests was that the wedding was epic. So when you saw the aerial of downtown Kona and you saw the white tents set up at the palace across from the restaurant that lost their roof, a picture IS worth a thousand words. Those tents made it through the storm and it was a wedding to remember. Thank you Big Island Tents, and I wish that I could remember the gentleman's name that set up the tents, but he did a great job, working through the wind and rain. He stayed with us and made it happen. read more

Big Island Tents was an absolute joy to work with! They have an impressive inventory, offer reasonable pricing, and were incredibly easy to work with. Their staff was extremely kind & knowledgeable. They are a family business that clearly care about the people they work with. Do yourself a huge favor and hire BIT for your next event!! read more

We worked with Big Island Tents to rent lighting and speakers for our Welcome Party. While our event was rather simple, the Big Island Tents team treated our event with professionalism, skill, finesse, and I really felt like they prioritized our event and needs despite the size of the event. What I found most amazing was that they actually came and set up the beautiful lighting and sound system 36+ hours in advance of our event - this really gave me peace of mind that everything was ready to go! Finally, I felt like we got great value and lots of lighting. We loved their work and enjoyed working with their team, and would recommend them to others. Thank you Big Island Tents team! read more

Highly recommend Big Island Tents for any party rental needs! We needed 30 white chairs for our wedding last weekend and wanted to avoid unexpected fees and rental minimums. Big Island Tents was beyond reasonably priced and had really good quality chairs that matched our beach venue. They allowed us to pick up the chairs and even let our friends drop the chairs off after the ceremony so that my (now) husband and I could enjoy our wedding day without errands. Mahalo you guys for helping make our day extra special! read more

We had an amazing experience working with Big Island Tents. I highly Recommend them for all your Tent and Party needs.

Wedding planning is stressful! Paul and his crew provided us with exceptional service. 100% recommended. read more

Big Island Tents did an amazing job of bringing our DIY Wedding to life on May 17, 2018! We had our wedding in the backyard of our vacation home rental so we had to rent everything from tables to chairs and lighting from Big Island Tents. From the very start, Paul and Bob were so prompt at responding to us when we asked for an initial quote and were very helpful when we had questions or asked about other items to rent. We were concerned that there would be rain on the day of our wedding, but Paul and Bob were there for us when we asked about whether we should get a last minute tent (we decided against one and thankfully, it didn't rain!). The delivery guys arrived on time for set-up and pick-up and were really friendly and nice to work with. The lighting guy literally just asked us what we wanted, I showed him a photo and he said "I can do better than that" and got right to working away, creating the most amazing pattern of lights that honestly made our wedding so so beautiful. These guys are such professionals and know exactly what they're doing. Thank you Big Island Tents for a wonderful experience and for helping us make our dream wedding a reality!! read more

I recommend Big Island Tents for your big island party. We hired tables, chairs, tents, glasses, plates, flatware and more for a small wedding. Everything was delivered and picked up with no issues, allowing our event to be a success. We didn't know a lot about organizing a wedding, and they were patient with our many questions. Only complaint would be the high price of their lighting services, which we ended up doing ourselves. read more

We used big island tents for our wedding at the Falls at Reeds Island. They were great to work with when picking out what I wanted. The service itself was fine. Delivery was $300 extra and they arrived 15 min outside of their delivery window. Said they would be there from 9-10 am and showed up at 10:20 am. In addition, 2 of the farm tables were scrapped and needed some re-finishing/ looked too used. The tables and chairs served their purpose for our wedding but not 5 stars. We paid 1200 for 3 tables, 2 high boys and a bar. For the price I expected 5 stars. read more

Big Island Tents helped us transform an admittedly already beautiful yard (it is Hawaii, after all!) into the PERFECT wedding venue for our mini-wedding! From the lighting, to the tables, linens and bar - everything looked beautiful and like it was meant to be there. I was especially appreciative of the lighting layout they were able to pull off, which I worked very closely with them on (I am an Interior Designer so had a really clear vision). It turned out perfectly and really pulled everything together! They were flexible with last minute additions and very respectful of our site during installation and breakdown. I will note that they don't have visuals for all of their rental items which was a bit challenging planning a destination wedding, but for the price point and service level Big Island Tents is definitely the way to go! read more

BIT was an incredibly patient vendor to work with and we're glad we went with them for our rentals! Because of COVID we had not one but TWO wedding postponements, scaling down from a 170-person multi-day destination wedding weekend to a 12-person backyard wedding. Despite us probably being a tough client situation for them, they were always courteous and quick in their responses, working with us to change our invoice and provide recommendations. For the event itself, their set up and take-down crew were friendly and helpful, and the actual tent set up with string lighting was wonderful. Thank you BIT! read more

Big Island Tents provided the tenting, tables, chairs, and labor for a series of small and large-scale dinner receptions and concerts my company produced at the Fairmont Orchid last October. Almost all of the planning on my part was done remotely from California, but to be honest, Paul and Bob did the majority of the legwork for us. They managed my (admittedly high volume of) requests with patience and were proactive in resolving potential issues before they arose. They also went above and beyond to source every single item we asked for even if it wasn't in their immediate inventory. As an event manager, in addition to ensuring the show runs smoothly, it's also my job to manage every aspect of the install and break down - but Paul, Bob and their amazing crew made my job absolutely stress-free and easy. Not only are they professional, efficient, and amazing at what they do, but they do their work with a smile. I only wish I had their support on every event we produced. Their whole crew was wonderful and an absolute pleasure to work with... I would recommend them in a heartbeat! read more

From the beginning, my first interactions with Big Island Tents stood out from the rest and I would 100% recommend this company to anyone who is looking! It can be very overwhelming to plan a destination wedding from afar but working with this team was effortless. Their detailed communication provided me with all the information & photos that I needed to be able to make an informed selection of our wedding rentals without any worries. They replied to all my questions quickly and were so friendly. I never felt like I was being a nuisance, they were always helpful and willing to collaborate to make sure our vision came to life. You will have no issues finding items that work within your budget because they have such a large inventory! Unfortunately we will not be able to see our wedding vision come to life due to COVID-19. We recently decided to take precautionary measures and cancel our destination wedding for the safety and health of our loved ones and the local Hawaiian communities. It was an incredibly difficult decision to make but Big Island Tents took amazing care of us. As a family owned and operated business I can only imagine the impact of cancellations due to the global pandemic, but they took care of us, and were so flexible. We are so thankful for the kindness of the whole team, thank you!! Choose Big Island Tents and you will receive the true essence of Aloha. read more

I can't say enough good things about Big Island tents. They were amazing! I was a stressed out and difficult bride. I asked a million questions over several months and waited till the last minute to book my chairs. I got lucky that they even delivered the chairs for my wedding, since I waited last minute and everyone on the island gets book fast, bc of the limited vendors. I requested 30 chairs. I loved them! Not a cheap rental, but the best price for chairs on the island. That's for sure! They also rent tables, table clothes, arch cloths etc.. check out their website. From a yelper! read more

Big Island tents is incredible, and we will always use them! Paul, Bob and the whole crew were so incredible to work with. The team is super communicative and professional from start to finish and all around a pleasure to work with. We have used them at Ola Brew Co for every event to date, and know we can count on them. Not only that, but the tents, chairs, lighting, etc. always turn out beautiful and perfect for the occasion. read more

These guys are great. Loved the efficient crew and super helpful admin staff (Jade, Paul, Bob) that were willing to answer any and all questions I had. Our wedding wouldn't have been as epic if not for them. Highly recommend! read more

So, my wedding date had to be postponed to 2020, but despite that Paul had been patient, helpful and attentive the whole time. I've been communicating back and forth with him since I got engaged in 2017! I just didn't want to lose touch because he started off great! Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially planning a destination wedding, but Paul made it so easy for my fiance and I to get our questions answered. Paul is very personable and is truly there for you. He even makes sure to followup with you when you somehow dropped the ball on everything! I am looking forward to officially plan my wedding with him! Can't wait! And I will surely update with photos. Thank you Paul and Bob! read more

We recently used Big Island Tents for our wedding in Kona. Working with Paul was an absolute pleasure. He was always prompt to respond to our emails and questions and gave us a great deal on the equipment we needed. His team showed up right on time and was polite and professional setting up (and later taking down) the equipment. Everything went so smooth! Thank you so much Paul and Big Island Tents for your help with our special day! read more

Paul was great to work with, he responded promptly to email and phone calls and was very accommodating to my never ending questions. However, I felt there was more to be desired from the company. Weddings can be a really stressful time, and the pressure is on to keep everything right on schedule. Our tables were delivered a little late, just an hour or so, which wasn't a huge deal but did cut in to our plans for the day because we couldn't decorate until we got the chairs and tables. They were supposed to call when they left the office in waimea to drop off our stuff (in Kona) but I didn't receive the call. One thing that made me upset was that the padded white chairs we ordered were super dirty and stained like they hadn't ever been washed. And the tables were old and very basic. For the price I paid I feel like I definitely should've gotten more. The worst part however, was pickup day. No one called to tell us when they would be coming to pick up the tables. We eventually called and they told us they would be there within a half an hour, so we're scrambling to get everything organized and put outside for them to pick up. Luckily, my whole family was still there to help. Then, when the delivery guys came they backed their truck up over the grass in front of the house we were renting and tore it all up!!! The tables and chairs were stacked only 15 feet away from the driveway!! So I had to explain to the property manager what happened and that was just added stress that could've easily been avoided. Ultimately, we got what we needed when we needed it and there aren't a lot of options for rentals in Kona but I expected more considering how much I paid. read more

Big Island Tents provided the tables, chairs, arbor, and firepit for our wedding in Holualoa in early November. They were amazing to work with. I planned this wedding from NYC and Paul and Bob were patient and understanding even though I bugged them quite a bit during the planning process. They were always prompt with responses and were always easy to reach. The setup and breakdown crew were courteous, super helpful, and efficient. During setup, they checked often to make sure that things were exactly how I wanted and I couldn't have thanked them enough for that. Amazing company to work with so if you have any event, use them!!! You will be happy you did! Aloha! read more
