Wow!!! I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service your team provided for our wedding rentals. From start to finish, the entire process was flawless, affordable, and highly professional. Every team member we interacted with maintained a positive attitude and was truly a pleasure to work with. Our event day operations were completely seamless thanks to your staff's coordination. The team arrived exactly on time for setup and handled the breakdown and removal in a timely and efficient manner. I would like to specifically recognize Ashley, Perry, and your front desk staff for being incredibly helpful and ensuring everything ran smoothly. It is rare to find such consistent quality, and I will continue to recommend Oaks Event Rentals to anyone in need of rental services. Whether the event is big or small, your team handles every detail perfectly. Thank you again for your hard work and partnership. Cheers Marisa & Justin read more

Just had a great experience renting tables, chairs, string lights, heaters, and a little lounge area set up for an outdoor party. Having beautiful rentals set up really elevated the party and customer service was smooth and efficient. Very glad we went with this company and looking forward to doing so again for our next celebration. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Oaks Event Rentals. They provided several key items for our daughter's wedding, including a gorgeous dance floor. They were always quick to respond with questions, on time to the venue and set up and break down went smoothly. We worked with Claire, who is wonderful. She was so accommodating and easy to get along with. We won't hesitate to use Oaks again in the future! read more

Used Oaks for my bridal shower and they did such a beautiful job! Super easy to work with and communicative (this is HUGE for me) and had a great selection of rentals. I had such a specific vision in mind and they walked me through the whole process...it was so helpful to see everything in person. Could not recommend a rental company more for a really easy experience! read more

As a Ventura County wedding planner, I can't recommend Oaks Event Rentals enough! I'm always able to get a hold of the team quickly, their pricing is fair, and their day of execution is always reliable. It really does make a huge difference working with competent vendors, and Oaks is always my first call when I'm in need of any sort of rentals! read more

We used Oaks Event Rental for our Summer 2025 wedding at Malibou Lodge. They were fantastic! Had the best pricing, were reliable and had a great selection of rentals. I highly recommend them! read more

Loved working with this team ! Being able to go to their showroom and play around with your table scape in person makes all the difference. And not having to deal with pick up, delivery, take down, etc the day of the wedding was a huge plus. If you're a SoCal bride I really recommend working with Oaks Event Rentals! read more

Working with the Oaks team is a DREAM, all thanks to the wonderful owners, Ashley and Perry. Their inventory is 10/10 and the customer service is even better. From initial inquiry, to the final event setup, everything was absolutely seamless. Could not recommend them more! read more

Ashley and the team at Oaks Event Rentals are amazing! We rented a dance floor, lounge furniture, sweetheart loveseat, and all of our guest chairs for our wedding through Oaks. Their pricing is very reasonable and all of our communication during booking with Ashley was seamless. The rentals themselves were super clean and polished, everything looked brand new and so beautiful. On the wedding day, they were so fast and professional during setup! We can't recommend them enough. Thank you Ashley and team! read more

I can't tell you how many times I have used LISTER PARTY RENTALS and now that they are OAKS RENTALS, they are equally accommodating and SOOOO HELPFUL!! I love working with the girls in the office and all of their staff are professional and hard working!!! if you need ANYTHING for a party they have it!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to be your next party rental place!! read more

We have rented our Thanksgiving tables, chairs, linens, and heat lamps from Lister for three years now. The items are exactly as described, the prices are reasonable, and the delivery and pickup are easy and stress-free. The linens always arrive pristine and look brand new. I could not ask for a better experience from start to finish. read more

Great prices and service. Easy to pick up the tables and chairs we needed at the last minute.

Always easy to deal with. Pick-ups and Drop-offs are quick and easy. Kids chairs are a little small - even a little short for the kids tables. Next year we'll be renting adult sizes. read more

This place has many things Home Depot doesn't have. Company takes care of you and if needed will guide you through process of utilizing what you've rented (either there or when you need to set it up). Customer service is beyond what you'd expect. Highly recommend. Mauricio is usually at the front counter. He's been with the company for vast amount of years. There's a reason why. Cuz he's fuckn amazing. Highly recommend this place. They take care of thier clients. Why they've been there forever! -Rob (Emergency Response Technician). read more

I had an excellent experience here, ordering, picking and dropping off everything was super stress free. The employee was not pushy, she was extremely helpful and explained everything to me. I ordered tables, chairs and tablecloths and I suspected the chairs to be very scratched (based on past party rental experiences) but I was so impressed at how new they looked! The tables were super sturdy and the tablecloths were in like new condition AND looked like they just came out of the dry cleaners. I'm extremely happy to have used Lister for my party needs! Great prices too! read more

Customer service is horrible. They were rude right from the beginning and made me (AKA the customer!!) feel like I was in the wrong. Go somewhere else... 24/7 rentals is in Santa Clarita, you might have to pay extra for deliver fees but its well worth it! read more

People! Stay away. This was a terrible experience. The chairs we rented were completely misrepresented. The ones in the showroom look beautiful and the ones they tried to rent to us were all rusted, worn out and completely inappropriate to be used for a baby shower. We tried to discuss this with the manager and he came out blatantly saying that customer satisfaction is not their priority. Who would ever say that to a customer? We asked if we could talk to the owner and got his phone number. We've called twice and there has been no response. Stay clear of this place or make 100% sure you look carefully at what you will be getting from them. This business never used to be this way but something maybe happened and things are different now. read more

Called 2 weeks before party to reserve 3 72" round tables, they told me that they were already rented out. When I asked if they could get some more they were nonplussed. Seemed like a reasonable request since they can obviously recoup their investment. I went with Conejo Rental Center. read more

So far, so good. Just called yesterday for an emergency request for 30 chairs. Very lovely on the phone and said they could accommodate. Inexpensive to rent and easy business to maneuver through to pick up what was needed. Everyone was very nice and very accommodating. Can imagine returning these will be even easier! read more

Look elsewhere. These people have really bad customer service and are not warm or helpful at all. We are dealing with a family death right now & not in the mood to deal with rude people (if we ever are). I'm not sure how they stay in business read more

My wife and I ordered table cloths for our Thanksgiving dinner. When we went in to pick up the table cloths we were told that they did not have the size that we ordered but if we wanted to take the ones they had they would give us a discount. Based on the timing we were forced to take the wrong size of table cloths. On Monday, we went back to Listers to return them. When we asked for a discount we were meet with not only a no but the gentleman that was working there got sarcastic with us and started asking how the wrong size of a table cloth could affect a Thanksgiving dinner. Wow! We were shocked to say the least that a company that is focused on renting tables, chairs, linens etc. could say openly that they really don't care about quality. We have never been treated so disrespectability. Thousand Oaks / Westlake Village is a small caring community. I do not believe that we should support retailors that are rude and disrespectful. There are plenty of other choices when it comes to rentals. Please choose wisely read more

The blonde lady in the front was such a sweet heart ! And the guys in the back were all super nice and very friendly. This place is a true gem. They have everything from a-z, and the best part is you don't have to buy and store anything ! Just rent and return. Totally awesome for any party. I highly suggest coming here for your next shindig! read more

I ordered some chairs to rent for my Thanksgiving dinner. I called them up spoke with someone that was very informative she gave me options and costs, I got my chairs ordered and date to pick them up. For 10 white folding chairs it cost me $14, prices are decent. I drove in paid the front office and followed the blue line to the back to have them load them in my car for me. Simple, quick, easy and no hassle. When I walked into the office they had a lovely table display with orange and white plates and gold trim glasses- very lovely set up, they do table settings for all kinds of party events. I will use them in the future for party stuff. :)) read more

Worst customer service. The manager is unreasonable and incapable of adult communication. He gets flustered and seems to aim at being difficult instead of helpful. I will NEVER call this place again; with so many other local options, don't waste your time. read more

This company is overpriced and gauges customers with surcharges -- customer service is poor (I was told there were too many customers for Lister's to provide a courtesy call regarding approximate delivery time!) What -- you've got to be kidding me --too busy to talk talk with customers ,,hmmmm Staff takes no ownership -- blames Mr Lister (whoever that is?) read more

We used this company to rent tables, linens, chairs, glassware, and dishes for a 60-person wedding shower and everything exceeded our expectations!! Delivery and pick-up were on time and the staff was friendly and helpful with last-minute adjustments. We will definitely use this company again!! read more

I don't understand the bad reviews for Lister. I have had nothing but good service and helpfulness from them. I rent from Lister at least 3 x a year and have had great service. Some people I guess like to complain. read more

I called Lister's the day before my party for linens. It was last minute and I didn't think the order could be filled. Tiffin was able to fill my order. I was shocked but happy. I highly recommend using Lister's for your rental needs read more

I feel that I need to write a review based on the complete lack of communication. I recently left 3 messages and sent 2 emails, waited 5 days, then I sent a reservation request and received ZERO call back. Today, I finally went down to the office and they are closed for another whole week, but NO WHERE is this listed on their site or on the voicemail message. It's unfortunate that I wasted my time trying to contact them in the first place. I have ordered from two other times in the past, the first time, the order was correct. The 2nd time, they gave me the wrong linens and were unreachable on Saturday. They did return my call back a week later that time. read more

If incompetence is what you seek, than seek no further--Lister Party Rentals is your place. The manager does not have the ability to navigate through an adult conversation, nor does she appear to like or appreciate her job. The delivery, which is $95, is essential a man who, like the manager, hates his job and anything that requires him to move more than five steps. For nearly 100 dollars, I would expect the delivery man to, at least, drop the rented equipment in the backyard NOT directly in front of the door. When I asked him to please move it, because as he could easily see, I was not in any condition to do so, he said his manager had called him and he had to leave right away. I should say that he had already moved the tables to the back, and appeared to be over this whole idea of "work". However, he volunteered to wait on the steps while I called his manager? So, he had the time to wait for me to do this, he did not however, have the time to move the large stack of chairs? While on the phone with the manager(have you ever dealt with a five year old not getting their way? That pretty describes this manager) she said she was calling the delivery man, because, she agreed, he should move the chairs. Well, I watched the delivery man check his phone, hit silence, and proceed to drive away. The manager did not want to do anything, so I am disputing the delivery charge with my credit card company, since I'm having to pay my gardner to finish moving the furniture for me(we are talking literally a yard, but I can not move anything right now). This is obviously a small grievance in the grandness of life, however, I refuse to give my money to anyone who does not value their costumers, nor do they keep their word. Do yourself a favor, use any other party rental place. Companies such as these, whose employees are bitterly against lifting a finger, should not be supported. read more

This review is meant to show how important customer service is to keeping a good reputation. We recently rented 3 machines for our son's party. There was a mix up about delivery vs pick up and we ended up having to scramble to get the machines to the event on time. One of the machines ordered was not the right one and well it just didn't go our way with these machines. However when we called Listers to tell them what happened and the problems we faced they took care of adjusting our bill and "righting the wrong". We were very appreciative they took this position as we would definitely use them again in the future knowing that things can go wrong in party planning but when they do they can help make things better. Definitely recommend using them just because of this experience. read more

We use them for our company events and I recommend them for their great customer service and their quick set-up. Very pleased.

Everything was great. I needed a last minute rental and they had everything. Easy to pick up and drop off.

I worked at the old Lister store from 1976 to 1978. We all worked 11 hours a day with no time off for lunch. The hours were from 7am to 6pm. Those were some looooong days! Jack ran a tight ship and told me some things that have kept my integrity straight all these ensuing years. I've worked at eight different rental yards since and every one was run...well, like a "sinking" ship compared to Jacks. It's no wonder with Corey running the show, it's a good a rental yard as you'll ever find. I'm surprised he hasn't expanded but with the way the area is so plugged up, there's just no room for expansion. I moved there in 1957 as a 3 year old and watched how Thousand Oaks slowly deteriorated with expansion brought on by the Janss Corporation. I guess it wasn't too bad when my mother sold the house my father had built 34 years later for 75 times what Dad had in it! Ahh, the memories of the old Lister store. Nick Nolte as a customer having a BB rifle fight with a friend, customers backed up out the office door, burning up in the summer, freezing in the winter...I could write a book! (I did actually and mentioned the old Lister store) I'll end this rambling, semi-coherent rating with, "As long as Corey's running the show, you can't go wrong" David Fruhling T.O.H.S.

This place has it all! Every year we have a birthday party in the backyard for our kids. As luck would have it, this year my 8 year old really wanted to play musical chairs. So, we swung by Lister Party Rentals to rent 50 chairs. After exploring their showroom, we ended up renting a cotton candy machine, a snow-cone machine, a popcorn machine, and the ultimate in party fun.... a chocolate fountain! The prices were so reasonable that I let my 10 year old talk me into a dance floor with laser lights, which I have to say the adults got a lot more use out of, than the kids. The staff at Lister Party Rentals walked us through how to use it all. It was pretty simple. Then they did me the biggest favor of all, they talked me into renting a hot dog machine, so I wouldn't be stuck at the BBQ all day. It was the first year I got to actually enjoy the party. Why this was the first time we ever used Lister Party Rentals, I don't know, but we'll definitely be back. Next year, our daughter wants to rent the bubble machine too! read more

"I was throwing a bridal shower and had no idea how I was going to organize the flow - set up areas - for this shower. I knew I needed about 30 bistro chairs (smaller bottomed chairs so I could fit them into my living room). When I ordered the chairs, I described my lack of ideas to the person helping me. She suggested some round tall tables and that suggestion allowed me to look at my "party space" at home differently. A week later - I was able to succinctly place an order for the chairs, several tables, linens for the tables and linens for a couple of my own tables, and one banquet table to put in my garage because I had to clear off all of my kitchen counters (I just moved my toaster, blender, etc. onto the table in the garage). The one brief conversation with the Lister employee paved the way for me to make a plan for two "guest areas" for the shower: standing and eating/game playing, and sitting/eating/watching gifts being opened, I've used Lister Party Rentals a number of times and have always been pleased with the rental items. I've picked up items, and other times paid to have items delivered because they won't all fit into my minivan. Delivery and pick up is done quickly and the men doing so have always been very efficient and pleasant. The best tip I can give you is if you're planning an event and need to rent things, start planning several weeks in advance. Don't wait until a week before the event and expect to be able to get what you want when you want it. I've learned that sometimes items aren't available on short notice; sometimes things have to be ordered; or in my case, if you have no idea what you're going to do or what you'll need, a conversation with one of the rental staff may help you get your planning on the right track. One reviewer complained that the store was closed for a week when they went there (which was why calls weren't returned), hence my advice to start planning early so if this happens, you won't get stuck at the last minute. read more
