WARNING-- DO NOT BOOK FOR TENT RENTALS!! I booked with party time rentals for my wedding on…read moreDecember 2nd 2023. I paid 3k for a sailcloth tent 44'x63'. When we booked the tent we were told we would have a morning delivery. On the day of delivery they did not arrive until 1pm, the crew took about 2 hours to measure where the tent would go. Finally they brought the cloth of the tent out to set up, come to find out they are missing half of tent... they called their branch and we're told that the other half would be there in one hour. 1 1/2 hours goes by and the truck finally shows up but he goes to the wrong address, backs up into a fence and almost ran over a 20k horse. The owner of the house called the police but we did not have time to wait since it was almost dark. My dad had to go with our sxs to take the tent off of the truck OURSELVES to get it over to the right property. The driver of the truck reeked of weed and was not being helpful at all. We requested to speak to a supervisor multiple times on the phone but we're always told we'd get a call back, NEVER DID. The only reason the tent was eventually put up is because MY family had to physically bring the tent to the workers.I was not going to leave a review but since we have not heard back in over a month and did not receive any type of reimbursement for our $3,000 tent that was not put up in contracted terms I had to. Long story short, DO NOT BOOK- ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR WEDDING, WAY MORE ADDED STRESS THAT COULD OF BEEN AVOIDED!!!

We really appreciate all the advice and guidance Jackie at Party Time Rentals gave us throughout…read moreour wedding planning process. She was a breeze to work with! Many times in planning, we would be discussing something and whether we should give more direction or input, and we'd end up saying "I trust Jackie," or "Jackie's got this." Throughout the night of the reception, each of us heard separately from our guests about how beautiful the room and tables looked. We recognize and are so grateful for how hard to worked to find solutions for us, we cannot thank Jackie and Party Time enough! They are high end, and you get what you pay for. Our expectations were far exceeded, and we were so pleased with their results. Jackie took our concept and made it even better in reality!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Anand. I was struggling to host an event (last-minute)…read morein Gainesville. I was fortunate to find Anand. He was very responsive (working through weekends and late nights) to address my requirements and suggest solutions. He went above & beyond in his recommendation for executing a perfect outdoor event. Anand is a great communicator, trustworthy and brilliant event planner. Every detail was planned and executed to perfection. He took the stress out of event planning for me. He is definitely one of the best that exists in this business. I wish A&V Party the very best on their journey. Thank you for everything Anand.

BUYER BEWARE. We were having a fine time working with Anand to create our wedding mandap decor…read moreuntil simple verbiage in his liability insurance needed to be changed. This was standard verbiage every other 3rd party vendor we worked with had no problem changing for our venue, but per his own "legal counsel" he could not change the verbiage. This was a contract with a large hotel venue and I'm assuming he's never worked with larger clients and as a result was not prepared to offer the correct liability insurance. He kept saying this is "not standard" when literally every other person we were working with said it was.. He then turned on us and accused me and my husband for not properly preparing him to work with our venue. How are we supposed to know what type of legal documents he is supposed to provide as a vendor? That is quite literally the job of the vendor to figure out, and again this tells me he's never worked with larger clients. In addition, he knew at signing which hotel we would be working with and it is his job as a vendor to ensure he is prepared to handle an event at the venue in the signed contract. He ended up wanting us to sign a form that essentially put all the blame on me and my husband if anything at all went wrong with the mandap structure as well as allow him to cancel at ANY time up until the wedding. Obviously, we could not sign this and found another mandap vendor who could change the verbiage and provide quality services. This back and forth about the insurance verbiage went on for months and Anand was a poor communicator with me, my husband, my wedding planner, and my venue's event coordinator. It was 3 weeks before the wedding when he decided to give us an ultimatum causing me significant stress as a bride to find a new vendor. We dropped him as a vendor due to his lack of service and reliability, not due to the changes in weather as he may claim. I cannot stress enough that this company is not prepared to work on larger venues or provide any type of liability insurances. You might be able to rent a few chairs or decor items from them, but save yourself the stress and hassle, and spend a little money to get a better vendor for your wedding. It should also be noted this is the first review in YEARS he has received which is suspicious. He also claims that we asked for a "custom mandap" when there is nothing truly custom on our mandap. As with every decorator there are different items and ways to set things up, but we did not specifically have him craft anything that he cannot reuse. He has already posted the mandap on his website and will be able to reuse every material that was "custom." Therefore, there was no loss of business, but he attempted to charge us thousands for this work. We adhered to the cancellation policy in the poorly written contract and cancelled our agreement as it is clearly stated and forfeited our deposit.

If you're looking to rent a bounce house in the Gainesville/ Ocala area avoid @itsapartyinflatables…read moreat all cost! I booked through them back in September for our kids party October 10th. About 2 weeks before the party we had to change the location of the party from a house to the park... at that time I found out that they DO NOT PROVIDE the electricity via generator they need plug ins. So we found a generator to use. An 8500 watt they said I only needed a 4500 watt. Every time I reached out to ask questions they would say they would get back with me and I ended up having to message them again. Day of delivery the driver is 30 mins-an hour late to drop off and 2 1/2 hours late to pick up. Leaving family and friends to sit at the park and watch the blow up. The party ended at 5pm. Multiple people from the party tried the office number and driver number as well as Facebook messenger and no one answered until 6:45pm and then they didn't get to pick it up until 7:20pm. Saturday evening Jessica with the company contacted me via Facebook messenger said we could discuss refund but due to me leaving bad reviews they are now not willing to refund me! So learn from my mistakes and don't use them!
