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.

We are beyond grateful.

We also had their champagne wall and donut wall, which were both big hits with our guests. Every piece Eventals created and provided for our wedding was absolutely gorgeous, stole the show, and are truly our favorite decorations and elements from our wedding. Karen and Chris are also friendly, incredibly easy to work with, great with communication, on time, and worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator. If we could give 10 stars we would.

It's unfortunate I have to write this review. I've used SD linens a total of 3 times now, and my…read morethird time was my last ever. I booked them for my wedding in 2014, and they did a great job. I booked them for an Easter party this year, smooth sailing. I booked them again for another party this year, complete shit. They are so "strict" with making sure you have 3 hour open time window, or else they charge you more if you want it at an exact time. Anyway, we had a drop off time for our tables/chairs/linens between 9-12. My party started at 1pm. 1230 rolls around, I'm starting to panic and call the number. It's only their weekday office line they provide. 1245 comes, I email and try to call again. Nothing. 1255, some guys cruise up in a truck to deliver my order. They are moving at a snails pace to get my tables and chairs set up. Guest start slowly arriving. How freaking embarrassing. Nobody once called me to say they were running late or give me any updates. I expressed how frustrated I was with their service a few days later. Nobody reached back out, no apology, nothing. That's the last time I'll ever use San Diego linens or REFER anybody to them, considering how many ppl I referred from my wedding. Be careful if you book with them y'all.

We explained we needed to fit 100 people, we needed tables and chairs and lighting. David had all kinds of great ideas, including swags on either side of the area where I was to be married, a fabric backdrop, market lights, and a GOBO light. The GOBO light would be set up to shine a saying, from a lens we designed , into the pool. I designed the lens to say," Scott Lori 3-3-2018". On the Thursday and Friday prior to the wedding, they came and set up the tables, and delivered the chairs, and set up the lights and draping. David was flexible, and due to possible rain we had to rent tents, and he put the lights up in the tents!! They did a great job! Make sure David comes to your venue, he has a really good eye for decorating!!
