Wow, the recent experience COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY WORSE. Although you would expect a PARTY RENTAL…read moreAND SUPPLY business to be open on WEEKENDS when most parties happen, they are not. Our event ordered chairs for a wedding and had to pick them up on Friday. They said they COULD set them up for us at Lovers Point on a Saturday for additional HUNDREDS of dollars. But that was too ridiculous to do. So we rented 50 chairs and picked them up. Returned them ALL on Monday. They then called to say 4 chairs were missing and the replacement cost was $50 PER CHAIR even though exact chair sold online for $21 with free shipping, but a contract is a contract. This of course caused a panic, after calling the bride and groom on their HONEYMOON over the missing chairs, calling the groom's family, the bride's family, searching the reception venue and having no luck we felt we didn't have any other options. It was only when a rep from Hodges's walked into the reception venue days later LOOKING FOR ONE MISSING CHAIR was it discovered ooops, their bad...they were supposedly only missing ONE FRIGGING CHAIR! I still believe NONE WERE MISSING but whatever. They didn't have the decency in 3 days to admit their mistake and avoid the hassle for a SINGLE $21 chair. For a wedding and reception that lots could go wrong nothing really did, right up to the point of these guys being rude and unprofessional insisting they double counted everything when returned, followed 3 days later by oops they miscounted. When looking for tables, glassware, linen and chair rentals in the past I was warned to use Chic or Illusions instead of Hodge's. I was reminded that Illusions and Chic do lots for charities and non profits in our area.. I have used others... even with the delivery fees from Alexis Party or M&M party rental in Santa Cruz County and having stuff delivered, even on a Saturday to Monterey, these guys are way over priced. I try to support local, and with this order being so small I couldn't imagine any problems. So, let me assure you NEVER AGAIN from these guys. Shop around, check out your options. I'm giving 2 stars only because a friend of a friend said that one time they were decent to him.

The folks at Hodges were very patient with all of my changes. Everything was in great condition that we rented and they made the process simple with delivery and pickup. Prices seemed very fair. I would most certainly rent from them again though I'm hoping the next daughter's wedding will not be in the too near future...I need a rest!

To be transparent i am calling don chapin and toms septic out for lying on their inspection reports to make more money at no respect to the customer for we are just cattle to them like the bilderburg group.

I was tasked with finding a karaoke system rental for my last minute company event and logged onto…read moreYelp for some quotes. Turns out most entertainment businesses don't rent out just karaoke systems, they also include a DJ! I was able to reach out to at least 5 businesses via Yelp. DJ Jaron instantly impressed me by responding within 15 minutes with a flat rate estimate and package already prepared. Jaron answered all my questions and always responded quickly (weekdays before 7pm). He's easy to work with and great to have conversations with! He also emailed an excel file for song requests to be played between karaoke songs chosen onsite. Clear and consistent communication via Yelp, email, and text. My event was within a week and a half and we needed karaoke services plus possibly disco lighting for 3 hours. JBQAV absolutely delivered! DJ Jaron's karaoke service included a sound system, staging lights, unlimited virtual meetings, $1M liability insurance, and over 69,000 songs. We also had 4 wireless microphones, 24" screen for singers to view the lyrics and I upgraded to the 65" screen instead of the 36" for $200 extra so the audience could sing along. Participants were able to view the tablet set up on the side to choose songs and write down the song/artist choice, plus name of person singing. It was cool seeing my name as a singer on the large screen! I loved hearing the song playlist I submit during set up and while people were choosing songs to sing. Dance pop is my jam! Anything that encourages people to get up and dance wins. I was already dancing around to Down by Jay Sean, Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney, and jamming to Titanium. Haha total millennial! Huge THANK YOU to DJ Jaron for making this karaoke event unforgettable!! My coworkers will be talking about this for a very long time.

Ahead of time I worked with John over the phone, he was easy to work with and helped us update our quote a few times. We rented 8ft tables, table cloths, propane heaters, and champagne flutes. My only complaint was that the Champagne flutes smelled terrible. We had to wash them all the night before because they smelled so musty and awful. All in all it wasn't too big a deal, but certainly was an inconvenience. Overall working with A2Z was great, and I would definitely recommend them.

The setup was seamless, and the booth itself was top-notch with excellent quality lighting, and backdrops. The staff was incredibly friendly and engaging, encouraging our guests to have fun and get creative with their photos. Everyone loved how quick and easy it was to use the booth. The photo quality was outstanding--crisp, vibrant, and perfect for keepsakes. We also appreciated how efficiently they handled the printing process, ensuring there were no long waits for guests. Another highlight was the digital sharing option, which allowed guests to instantly send photos to their phones or email. It was a huge hit and made the experience even more special. After the event we received a large file with a digital copy of all guest photos via email. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event with a fantastic photobooth experience!

Having Anita as our wedding planner is the best decision we could have made for our wedding. From…read morethe very beginning she was kind, professional, and was just as excited for our wedding as we were. We had a large wedding of about 185, and she helped us every single step of the way, which was especially helpful as we are not local to the Monterey area. The vendors she recommended were fantastic, and we ended up using several of her recommendations. She handled any complications that came up during the planning process and made herself available as often as we needed her. We said several times over the course of the planning process how worth it her planning fee was, 100x over. On our wedding day, she was there to walk us through every step and make sure everything ran smoothly. It was a perfect day, and I can't imagine not having Anita as a part of our process.

She consistently went above and…read morebeyond to help bring my vision to life, and my wedding truly wouldn't have run as smoothly without her. Throughout the entire process, she gave me so much peace of mind--she was reliable, extremely detailed, and always prepared. Her thoroughness with even the smallest details saved me so much money, which was especially important since I was planning a destination wedding from Florida to Big Sur. She stayed super organized, always made herself available for calls, and eased any worries I had along the way. On the wedding day, the presentation of the tables, linens & flowers were exactly what I envisioned. My jaw literally dropped seeing how beautifully everything came together. I've heard horror stories from other brides about planners who were unresponsive or added stress to the process, but I never experienced that with Anita. I trusted her completely, and you truly cannot go wrong by hiring her. Anita kept all my vendors organized, took the lead on everything, and made sure I could fully relax and enjoy my big day. She even found thoughtful ways to save on costs, like sourcing local fresh picked mint & for our bar service and recommending trusted partners. I highly, highly recommend Anita. You will not be disappointed--she is exceptional.
