Daniel ran our annual fundraiser at Kona Kai resort flawlessly. He was a joy to work with before and during the event. Both the live band and DJ found him knowledgeable and easy to work with. Daniel provided speakers, 2 projectors, 2 screens, and lighting. He operated our auction slides and other presentation material without problems. We were going to use Kona Kai's Audio visual team but they were hard to get ahold of and never gave clear prices (which worried me). Our event raised over $130,000 and it was with the wonderful help of AV Bliss. We would definitely use him for future events and I would use him for personal ones as well.

If You Care About Your Wedding Day, I Recommend Looking Elsewhere…read more I don't write negative reviews lightly, but if sharing our experience helps another couple avoid what we went through, it's worth it. We hired this company over two years before our wedding and worked directly with DJ Mike the entire time. During those two years, we met with him, planned our reception, discussed every detail of our timeline, and were repeatedly assured that he would be our DJ and MC. He emphasized that, as our MC, his job was to keep the reception running smoothly so we could simply enjoy our wedding day. The company had us use their planning app, where I spent countless hours entering every detail of our reception--from announcements and pronunciations to specific songs timed down to the exact second they were supposed to play. I trusted that all of that planning would ensure our wedding ran seamlessly. Then, about a week before our wedding, Mike essentially stopped communicating with us. It wasn't until our hired coordinator contacted the owner just two days before the wedding that we learned Mike would no longer be our DJ. We were never proactively informed. My husband eventually received a message from Mike stating that he had been reassigned to a corporate event. After two years of building a relationship and planning our wedding with him, we were simply replaced at the last minute. We were assured Javier would take over and that he was "great." Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Nearly every major musical moment during our reception was wrong. My husband's processional song was incorrect. Our first dance was incorrect. My father-daughter dance was incorrect. The mother-son dance was incorrect. We had to stop our own wedding reception multiple times to correct the DJ. Think about that for a moment. A bride and groom should never have to interrupt their own wedding to fix mistakes that should have been prevented through preparation. The most frustrating part is that every one of these songs had already been entered into the company's planning app months in advance. Instead of using the detailed timeline we spent two years creating, Javier appeared to be working from a handwritten sheet of paper covered in scribbled notes. It left us asking one simple question: What was the purpose of the planning app if none of the information was actually being used? The mistakes didn't stop with the music. Despite confirming pronunciations with both us and our coordinator, names were still announced incorrectly. What makes this especially heartbreaking is that my husband's parents both have Alzheimer's dementia. This was likely one of the last major family celebrations they'll remember. Moments that should have been joyful and unforgettable were interrupted by confusion, corrections, and preventable mistakes. Those memories cannot be recreated. After the wedding, we contacted the owner, Monique, hoping for accountability and, at the very least, some empathy. Instead, we received what felt like a dismissive response. We were told she had conducted a "review" which concluded everything went well minus two songs. Our experience as the bride and groom was effectively minimized. We were also told that our coordinator wasn't present for the entire reception--as though that somehow explained what happened. Yet we specifically hired a DJ who assured us he would also serve as the MC and keep the reception on track. That responsibility didn't disappear because our coordinator stepped away. Mistakes can happen. What defines a business is how it responds when they do. Unfortunately, what disappointed us most wasn't just the last-minute DJ change or the repeated mistakes throughout our reception. It was the complete lack of ownership afterward. We were left feeling unheard, dismissed, and blamed for problems that should never have occurred. Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You don't get a second chance at your first dance, your parents' dances, or the memories made that night.

We had a great experience working with Mike from 1024 productions. From our initial consultation he…read morewas professional, quickly responsive, and very thorough. I had no idea how much a DJ could do on wedding day-- but it was truly amazing to have him cover the whole sound system, from mic'ing the officiant to playing transition music in different spaces as we move, to making announcements throughout the night, and of course creating a fun dance floor at the end of the night. He has great DJ software which allowed us to upload our playlists and song selections directly from Spotify or YouTube. His questionnaires are very comprehensive for every portion of the night, and he anticipated any potential needs or errors in our setup and timeline prior to the event. I also loved his sleek white (or black) DJ table and transition from elegant to fun dance floor lighting. Finally, he acted and dressed very professionally for the wedding. Would definitely recommend Mike!

I rented a video camera and related equipment from another place (due to proximity) but even though…read moreI tested everything in the store, the equipment wasn't working at my location. I wasn't given the manual and all I could find online were PDFs that would only load with Flash player (thanks iPhone) and websites of sarcastic owners scolding people to "read their manuals." I was completely SOL, about to miss the entire event I was supposed to record and there was probably no way they were going to refund the cost of the rental equipment. I pulled up Yelp and began seeing that all camera stores in my area where now closed (8:45pm on a Friday night), except for one who didn't list a closing time. I called. Trevor answered. He was just finishing up a shoot and was in my neighborhood. Minutes later, we were on the street, troubleshooting my dilemma. Within moments the issue was resolved. Trevor refused payment, shook my hand, and was off, like a superhero into the night, not looking for gratitude or reward...just out there, doing the right thing. Trevor, thank you so much! Next time I rent camera equipment, I'm coming to JFO first!

Been glad for a long time that they're around to rent from!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sylvia and Affordable Party Rentals! I hired her for my…read moredaughter's bridal shower with about 40 guests, and she truly helped make the day absolutely perfect. From the beginning, Sylvia was amazing with communication. She was always responsive, helpful, and incredibly kind. I loved that she had so many different options and party packages to choose from, which made planning everything so much easier. I also LOVE supporting a family-owned business and a Navy veteran! Her team showed up on time and took care of everything -- tables, linens, canopies, the balloon drop, and all the setup. As the host, it was such a relief to not have to stress about those details. Everything was handled so flawlessly, and I was actually able to enjoy my daughter's shower and our guests. And the FOOD!! Absolutely amazing. The biscuits were seriously the best biscuits I have ever had, and the chicken literally melts in your mouth. Any time we started running low on something, Sylvia was right there refilling it so my guests were always taken care of. She also provided a phone booth where guests could record messages for my daughter, which was such a fun and special addition to the shower. Everyone loved it, and now my daughter has those messages as a keepsake from such an important day. Sylvia went above and beyond for us. She is kind, professional, dependable, and genuinely cares about making your event special. I would absolutely use Affordable Party Rentals again and highly recommend Sylvia and her team! Thank you for making my daughter's bridal shower so beautiful and stress-free!

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!
