We rented a frozen marg and frosé machine for our company's celebration and it was a great hit! It's definitely fun to have something different when so many corporate events feel repetitive. David handled our delivery and pick-up and he was amazing! Genuinely very kind and he was very thorough when teaching me how to refill the machine. Raff was also super accommodating with all of our building's changing expectations with COIs and contracts. It made the administrative process such a breeze when that's typically what holds up events. I would definitely rent with them again! read more

Fabulous party rental! We rented two of Raff's machines for a surprise "Margaritaville Birthday", one for margaritas and the second for "mockaritas". For the latter, he suggested Rum Runners--and what it hit those were! Raff's machines are not like the little machines you can rent from locals near home. You get what you pay for and Raff's machines do not disappoint. BTW, I froze the leftover margaritas and we're still enjoying them. read more

Terrible communication. I emailed this establishment weeks before my party and they would never produce a contract - even after many emails requesting to get our rental buttoned down. We went elsewhere with our business. read more

Machine was awesome and easy to use! It was a hit! We maximized all our batches of tequila and mix. David was great. On time and friendly! read more

David was great! The machine was so popular we ran out!! Ice cream is delicious and he had all kinds of toppings. Definitely a hit of the party. My only advice is to order more than you think you need because people love it! He was on time, neat and had great communication. He called me day before to confirm, ask about attire and was lovely to our guests. Definitely recommend. read more

The most delicious soft-serve you will ever have. David handled the delivery and pick-up. He set it up, but out of all the goods (cones, cups, spoons, etc) and taught us the basics to manage it. It was the best part of the party. Strauss dutch chocolate is divine. So grateful for Raff's! read more

I was interested in renting a margarita machine for a party so I checked various web sites and resources. Raff's stood out due to its extremely informative user-friendly web site and great reviews. I called to get information and Raff was extremely helpful in providing information and options. it turns out we didn't have the power resources (dedicated circuit, proximity to the outlet) needed so Raff offered to supply a generator and gave us some other great ideas. I really appreciate his professionalism and communication, and I would highly recommend working with him. read more

David confirmed my order. He arrived early, and picked up promptly. The dole whip was the hit of the party. He gave great instructions in case we needed to make another batch, which we did. We had around 150 attend a Disney theme holiday party and they loved it! When he picked it up, he did all of the clean up. I highly recommend! read more

Raff's is a huge party hit! It is so easy and everyone loves it. The communication, set up, and break down are efficient and timely. I highly recommend Raffs and would use them again!! read more

Besides Quick and easy communication and easy planning and patient responses to my many questions. The Margarita Machine was a huge hit!!!! They were DELICIOUS and stayed frosty on a hot day!!

I'd recommend Raff's to anyone that is in need of party machine rentals. They are highly professional and curious and our delivery person David took the time to explain the soft serve machine to us. It was a huge hire amongst all of the hospital leaders read more

This was our first time working with Raff and his team. Great response time and customer service. David, who delivered our machine, gave us plenty of notice that he needed to deliver earlier than expected and arrived at the new time we agreed upon. Same for pickup, it was prompt so we didn't have to waste our whole day. Everyone loved the margaritas and it made it a lot easier to interact with our guests. We will definitely hire Raff again! read more

We rented the shaved ice machine for a party. Coordinating pickup and dropoff was easy. David dropped the machine off and walked me through using it which was very simple. Shaved ice was a hit with the 7-13 yr old crowd. read more

Wow, I really enjoyed dealing with Chris the owner for the dole whip machines. I had a family party and looking to make it different. Everyone, young and old enjoyed the treat. Easy to use, and easy to deal with. I'm trying to get others at our PTA to sponsor this for future events. read more

this was a great experience from start to finish, the product was delicious and the machine was easy to use, David delivered and picked up the machine, he was courtesy, on time and communicated with me very well. we already booked for another event we are having. read more

Let me start by saying these guys are professional, prompt and know what they're doing. If you want to add some flair to any party I highly recommend their services! I run a craft beer bar in Campbell and wanted to serve beer slushies at our anniversary party. I of course procrastinated on booking a machine. I called Raff on Friday for our party on sunday and they easily accommodated my request! On sunday morning they were communicative and prompt. They ran me through everything I needed to know and helped me plug in the machine. They were beyond helpful! The machine itself was easy to use and froze our beer into slushies in about 10min. They were such a hit we've been thinking about making them a regular event! read more

He arrived for drop-off and pick-up on time. my guests loved the margaritas and soft serve! The products were great quality and I will definitely rent again in the future! read more

Worked with Raff and Victor to rent a Margarita machine for my wife's 50th celebration. It was a surprise party and they were very accommodating to coordinate the delivery when my wife was not around. We had a large group, and the frozen margarita's were a big hit. I will work with them again. read more

Rented a dole whip machine a few weeks ago for a party I was hosting and was very impressed! The machine was well-maintained and David made the rental process as smooth as possible. Will be using this service again! read more

We've used Raff's for a few events now and they've been great. We recently used them for a party and David went above and beyond to make sure we were all set up and good to go. There was a slight miscommunication on the mixers for the margarita machine and David went to the store to get us what we needed. Amazing service and super friendly, we'll definitely use them again :) read more

Raff took amazing care of us, organizing a machine and generator rental last minute to make sure we had pina coladas at our wedding. The machine worked great and the mix was delicious. Thanks for everything Raff!! read more

Raff was easy to work with during my company's event. Got the contract in front of us quickly and he responded to our inquiries fast. We needed his margarita machine set up at 5:30pm. He came promptly at 5 and it was set-up closer to 5:20! It was really easy to set up and refill. My company loved the frozen margaritas and it had the right amount of tequila. After the event, it was really easy to take down. All we needed to do was unplug it and he picks it up the next day. 100% would book again! read more

I have never publicly posted a bad review of a business because it's not my style but I would NEVER recommend this company, not only due to his business practices and attitude but the lack of hygiene with food products. I rented a soft serve machine and paid extra for a toppings bar for my son's outdoor wedding reception. He was rude and clearly annoyed at drop when we asked basic questions like how do we know when it's running low and need to add more mix and how long it takes to freeze. Pick up was even worse. He was extremely upset to find we had put all the toppings and cones in our own containers because the ones he provided were gross and ugly. His jars were placed under the table with the left over cones. He kept coming in the house that he had no business entering looking for the leftover toppings to take with him. 2 mason jars that were missing and the box the cones came in. I was mortified to find out after our event that the toppings he provided, and I fed to my guests were not new and just for us but were leftovers from previous events and he planned to use what was left at another wedding the next day. He touched all the ice cream cones that we had put in a nice glass container on the dessert table and put them back in their original plastic bag and took them to use the next day. We threw away the box they came in because we assumed all toppings and cones left over were ours to keep because we paid for them. Nothing was stated in the contract or verbally that we were getting recycled food items or were expected to return any unused product for him to reuse. He created a scene, was angry, dropping F bombs, and would not leave without his 2 mason jars and the cardboard box for the cones. I finally told him after a very long day, at 9pm that he could follow me to Walmart and I would buy him 2 new mason jars or he was welcome to go through all my decor and pick out 2 glass vases or containers. That still was not good enough or getting him to leave. We had multiple people trying to clean up stop everything to look for those dumb jars which were found the next morning. They were so dirty and greasy he should have been embarrassed. Anyone lookjng for a fun business idea could make a killing offering this service because it's a fun addition to a party and there definitely a market for it. He was the only one I could find in the bay area ans even though I didn't have a great feeling from him and wasn't sure he would come through due to bad communication on his part, I still used him because he was the only one in the Bay Area I could find that's this. read more

Just had Raff pick up our rental machine and service was excellent! He showed up a little bit early and set everything up with machine running and all supplies needed (cups and color changing spoons). He left us extra mix to give us the option if we wanted to make more than what we ordered. Note though - he will need to use your sink to make the mix To improve your dole whip - we used plastic normal cups to make smoothies with pineapple juice for the kids & some adult drinks. Would highly recommend. Came on time for pick up and made everything super easy. Highly recommend! read more

I needed a couple of slushie machines for an elementary school carnival I was putting on. Raff was SUPER responsive despite my 5000 questions. His crew showed up on time (not their fault that Google maps gives a different location for my school than the actual locationt), set up the machines, showed us how to mix the concentrates and fill the machines. I highly recommend Raff and if I ever need a margarita machine (and I'm not gonna lie, I was wishing I'd brought a few mini bottles for the leftovers after serving 600 elementary students today), Raff is the place to go to! read more

Hit of the party! I rented a Margarita Machine from Raff and so glad I did. This wasn't some dinky equipment either. If my family and friends were impressed by its "no fooling around" commercial size, they were absolutely floored by the taste and frozen consistency of the "Raffaritats". We actually got to enjoy it a while longer on Sunday.. Set up and Pick up was done professionally and Mario was super cool with getting our first batch going too. His instructions made it easy for me to reload the machine mid party no problem, plus you cant beat his service with a smile.. I highly recommend these guys and will most definitely use them again.. -Chris. read more

Easy delivery, set up, and pick up! We had a seamless event with delicious Frosé thanks to Raff and Mario. Highly recommend!!

Raff's margarita machine is a no-brainer at any party! It's fun and easy and the team is a pleasure to work with! I ordered the standard margarita machine for my party and it was a universal hit. I will definitely branch out and try other options for my next event. For the price and the convenience, like I said, it's a no-brainer! read more

Just have to say how glad I am that I was referred to Raffs because he came through for me on 24 hours notice with a fabulous margarita machine! It was just the perfect festive addition; thanks again Raff, your service was great! read more

Worry and hassle free experience!!! For many years, our Non-profit organization has been hosting a food booth at one of the nations largest community festivals in San Francisco, attended by more than 200,000 people. So switching from our Kalua Pork Sliders to serving Dole Whip was both exciting and nervous. If something went wrong, we could stand to lost quite a bit of money on top of not being able to raise money for our scholarship foundation. Needless to say Raff was able to put our minds at ease by being responsive during the initial stages of gathering information and then on the day of the event he was prompt and stayed until we were comfortable that we had everything under control. The machines were commercial grade and worked perfectly! The Dole Whip took only a few minutes to go from liquid to ready to serve frozen!!! The Dole Whip is just like how you get it from Disneyland and The Dole Plantation on Oahu. We had so many comments on how great the Dole Whip was and what a great idea to have it at the Festival. After the event ended, Raff was there to pick up the machines and he cleans the machines as well....Fantastic!!! With such a great experience, we are already thinking of what we can add to the Dole Whip for next year's festival! read more

We wanted a pineapple dole whip machine for our daughter's graduation and Raff's party machine rentals was recommended. I'm so glad we did it. This was the hit of the party and worth every penny. He came set up the machine in the backyard where we had a table set. Left it ready to go with cups and spoons and picked it up the next day. Highly recommend using them. People were going for seconds and thirds. read more

Raff was incredibly easy to work with -- very professional, service oriented, and easygoing. He serviced our location after we got a recommendation from another friend who is an Office Manager in the city. Basically our Dole Whip party was recently touted as the best one we've held at our office -- we had SO many happy coworkers! Speaking to the service, the timeliness, and ease of working with him, we're definitely going to be calling and having more of these events since now we know that we can and that there will be nothing for us to worry about. If you're on the fence about renting equipment from someone who isn't a giant company, don't be -- the level of service and reliability can't be underscored enough. Thank you again for renting your machines to us! read more

Rented a shave ice machine, Raff answered the phone and we made a rental agreement for the next day. He delivered and picked up the machine on time. It was in good working order and it was a hit at our luau themed party. Included were snow cone cups and flavored syrups. He set up the machine for us and gave a quick tutorial. It was super easy to use and there was no clean up as Raff took care of all of that. Would recommend. read more

I needed a soft serve machine in a pinch and through a desperate google search I found Raff's site. He was super responsive and a day later had the machine at the venue. It also helped to find out that a good friend of mine is also a customer of his. Would highly recommend and I'll be working with him again for sure. read more

We rented the margarita machine for a family party of 30. The whole process was efficient and we had no problems. We had plenty of mix and the machine was really fun to have! Raff is a friendly guy and responded to my million questions promptly. We will definitely use him again read more

Contract specified he would arrive at noon to set up for the 4 PM cocktail hour of a wedding reception. By 2:30 we reached him, he showed up at 4, cocktails weren't ready until after dinner. We used it during a pool party the next day, scheduled pick up at 4:30 Sunday, he arrived at 2:30 two days later. read more

Our event was in two different Bay Area locations and Raff [Chris] was able to serve BOTH locations on the same day and coordinate drop off/set up/pick up. Billing was easy and he was very communicative and easy to work with. The event was a totally success thanks to the efforts of Chris and we have ever intention on working with him again! read more
