Mr.Cohen was very professional and flexible with our limited time. I called him and he contact me back within 30 minutes or less. He even then agreed to meet up with me and my wife the same day for a short ceremony and then went as far as to give us a few minutes of marriage counseling. I truly appreciate him for taking the time out of his day to help us in such a short notice.

They even played baby shark at the request of my flower girl and managed to get the entire room up and doing the dance! They have a photo booth which was another major hit. Patrick designed my own logo and they printed the pics on the spot for the guests! We had so much fun! They covered the ceremony music as well and I had very difficult requests! Without Amplified Events, my wedding could have been a disaster. But these guys saw when things were going awry and they jumped in to help and pulled it all together! *If only my photographer was as good as these guys were! However, they made up for it and then some! When they noticed he wasn't taking the right photos, they even helped take pics with their phones and sent them to me. They didn't have to, but Patrick and his team saved the day! Now, they're my ONLY choice for all of our events - both personal and professional!

I went to my friends wedding at Love's Wedding Chapel on 5/10/19. They decided to get married that…read moreday and called Betty at 12:00 to schedule the ceremony for 7 that night. Betty had just gotten back into town and said she would be happy to do so. When we arrived the bride was told that the gazebo was not cleaned up for a ceremony and that it needed to be done inside. When she looked at the room for the ceremony it was compacted in with multiple things of religion and statues wall to wall. It was not the setting the bride wanted. The bride said she really wanted it to be done outside. Betty told her again that the gazebo hadn't been cleaned up but the bride could not do the ceremony in the room that was set for it. When I arrived I went over to the gazebo... it appeared to have multi-colored fake flowers covering the entire entrance with red garland intertwined at the top. It was tacky to begin with. Needing to be cleaned up was an understatement. The flowers looked so disgusting and hanging out of place and should have been replaced a long long time ago, and it appeared to have never been cleaned up as it would have been much better than the state it was in. I noticed the side of the building a a wonderful appearance with a large bush with white flowers all over it. The lighting was perfect and the ceremony would have been perfect in that spot. I pulled Betty to the side and asked her very politely "Could we do the ceremony over on that side as there was plenty of space and the setting would be perfect. In front of it has clean gravel." She responded with "No No No No, That's Not Happening. We are doing the ceremony in the gazebo." I said "but the gazebo is really not up to par plus it is very dark inside it and leaves everywhere and people are already complaining that it is too dark for pictures." Betty said "No we are doing it in the gazebo, end of story. I have a light in there." and then she walked to the gazebo. I went on inside with the bride and told her that there was a perfect spot on the other side of the wall but that Betty said it would only take place in the gazebo. We went ahead started getting the kids ready for walking out for the ceremony. About three minutes later Betty comes back in and got in my face. While the bride, brides mother, and the children were in the room...Betty was standing literally a foot away from me and started saying "We are Not going to do the ceremony anywhere other than in that gazebo. It is not going to happen." I said "okay! I got that." Then Betty continued "it just isn't. I haven't had anywhere outside treated other than the gazebo area and there are ants everywhere else and bugs and I can't be held accountable for that area. So the answer is No." I said again "I got it." and then I walked out because she was literally chewing me out it felt like ad she was very harsh about it. I went outside to cool off and looked around... the area I was talking about had a clear ground with gravel and the area with the gazebo was nasty and when we went over there and did the ceremony everyone, and I mean everyone was getting eaten alive by the amount of bugs and mosquitoes. It was ridiculous the amount of welts we had on our legs. I was willing to let all of the mess of the place go but with an attitude like she had and how she came at me about not using the other spot I just feel like someone should say something. Have pride in what you do. Having an attitude like that for no reason at all was just rude all together. And the fact that she knew how bad it was and would not allow us to make the best of the location really upsets me. I had her as my reverend when I got married 6 years ago. I would never have recommended her if I knew she was like that. Her attitude changed the mood in everyone's head while we were just wanting to see the bride happy on her day. Have respect for what you do and get a better attitude.

I rented from Augusta Special Events Tent and Party Rentals and was unable to pick-up the items I purchased. I paid for the rental in full. When I inquired about a refund, I was told that the full amount, not deposit, was forfeited. The male representative of the company, Dudley expressed zero concern which was very disappointing, especially while there are so many in the community who are helping each other get through this devastating time. This company lacks empathy. I of course will never do business with this company again. I hope there are other companies that can provide better service so no one else has to use their services either. If I could rate this company with a lower rating, I would. POOR Customer Service.

When I first visited the store on a Saturday morning I talked with the assistant [Tyler, a decent gentle man] and listed the items to be rented. I mentioned that we would like the furniture to be delivered on a Saturday morning and picked up on Sunday around midnight after the wedding reception. Tyler told me the weekend delivery and pickup charges would be higher than standard and he will let me know the exact cost after talking with the boss {Mr. Dudley] who was out that day. A few days later I went to the store to put in the deposit and met Mr. Dudley. I told him we may need the delivery an hour earlier [10 am] and pickup time may also be a bit later. Weeks later I called to make a few changes to the order and told the gentleman [named John with a friendly voice] who answered the phone that I was able to arrange with the wedding venue manager for furniture pickup on Monday morning instead of Sunday midnight. He put me on hold to talk to the manager/owner [Dudley] and then confirmed the reduced delivery fee and the revised bill. On Saturday, the day one of the event Mr. Dudley came to deliver goods on time [10 am] but made it very clear that he had to sacrifice some family business to accommodate the early delivery, and that the dismantling/ pickup has to be on Sunday night starting at 11 pm on the dot. I tried to tell him we already discussed the Monday pickup arrangement with his office and the time as well as the revised bill was agreed upon with his acquiescence per his office staff. He refused to listen and accused me of interrupting him and threatened to stop the delivery and call the police if I continue to talk to him. He became agitated, and in an abusive condescending style [with a distinct disdain and undertone of racism towards Asian Americans] told me he doesn't want to see or talk to me anymore. Later that evening during serving dinner our wedding planner and catering staff noticed that 100 pieces each of the forks and spoons ordered from ASE were not delivered and we had to rush to procure them from an alternate source. Mr. Dudley later claimed those were delivered and we just missed them [unverifiable to us]. His behavior the next day, the wedding and reception day, was more outrageous and atrocious! He showed up at the venue in the evening around 9 pm and told the event coordinator he would start dismantling the stage at 11 pm and must pick up all supplies and leave the place by 12 and we must make sure there's no delay in his schedule. When informed about this I immediately came out from the reception hall and told him the reception party would take at least till midnight to wrap up and asked for his cooperation and told him we would pay for the extra hours as stipulated in the contract. In a raised voice he demanded cash payments on the spot. We didn't have cash on hand and offered a check payment instead. He was in no mood to listen and called on the security guards at the premise [paid for by me] and demanded I go away and not talk to him anymore. Sensing his disruptive, arrogant, uncompromising attitude we decided to bring the ceremony to an early ending. We closed the bar and with an apology to the distinguished guests present [including the Honorable Ambassador and Consul General from a big friendly Asian country] proceeded to stop the music and the dance and allowed him to start the dismantling process. This extremely arrogant, abusive, and outrageous conduct that I was exposed to could not and should not go unchallenged. I was humiliated and intimidated in front of many folks in the venue [Savannah River Pavilion] during an ongoing wedding ceremony and reception. It was the most devastating, dehumanizing life experience I ever had in my 40 years of residency here in Augusta. I feel obligated to provide a factual review of my experience with ASE in public media and report to relevant business and government agencies for the benefit and awareness of future clients considering doing business with ASE. There are many competitive business outlets here that know how to treat customers with decency and respect and no one deserves to be humiliated and intimidated while receiving a service they are paying for. If this gentleman is incapable to change his awful, rude behavior towards customers he should retire or else the business would be destined for shutdown sooner or later.
