Once inside we picked out our pieces and had a great time. This place really appeals to kids, so it was busy and noisy. It was a little hard to get around with all the breakable pottery and tightly packed rooms. I got my fired pieces back about 2 weeks later and they look fantastic. A fun overall experience and I will be returning.

My partner and I were incredibly disappointed with this vendor. While our family, friends, and…read moreseparate vendors helped make the day special, many key elements that were promised and contractually agreed upon were either incomplete, missing, or poorly executed. Examples include: Golf Cart Shuttle Service: Not provided at all on the day of the event. Barn Cocktail Hour Décor: Only three barrels were present with no décor, despite the agreed design. Firepit and Seating: Not set up or made available for use. Complimentary Champagne Toast: Not provided for the bridal party; instead, we received red wine well after arrival with no accompanying food. Bridal Gift Bags / Keepsakes: Only the groom's party received keepsakes. Starry Night Lighting: Absent entirely. Guests expressed safety concerns about the lack of lighting while walking in the dark. Ceremony Lighting and Décor: No lanterns at the ceremony entrance or chair rows; the ceremony tree lighting and décor were never completed despite assurances. Dessert Table: Our donut tower was missing, and the table lacked a tablecloth. Lawn Games: Giant Jenga, Connect Four, corn hole, and ring toss were not set up; this resulted in our guests leaving early due to the lack of activities. Catering and Beverage Issues: Several items from our signed and paid catering proposal were missing, and confirmed by multiple guests Planning and Communication Failures: We never received our meeting notes, which we were told would be sent by email. QR Codes for our wedding registry were not displayed. The guest seating plan we submitted - including full names and table assignments - was disorganized and implemented poorly. The first dance song was incorrect, despite multiple confirmations (two emails with Spotify links, one text, and one follow-up email outlining all music). The charcuterie board we were told would be provided was not provided to the bridal party. Random carpets were placed on the floor, creating a tripping hazard (my mother nearly fell). Additional notes: We were repeatedly told we had caused logistical issues - such as "messing up the table plan" - when the venue's own lack of follow-up (including missing meeting notes) caused the confusion. We were proactive and cooperative throughout the planning process, providing detailed music links, layouts, and confirmations. Despite that, we ended up managing aspects of the event ourselves, such as calling a table for dinner, opening dessert boxes, and notifying guests when dessert was available. We received consistent feedback from guests that the catering staff appeared irritated and dismissive when asked basic questions about food and service. This created discomfort among our family and friends, which is unacceptable for a paid, private event of this importance. This is not the experience we were promised, nor the level of professionalism we expected. Outcome: We requested a partial refund for the items that were not contractually fulfilled. Instead, we received an email detailing issues that we supposedly caused, no apology, and excuses for why our needs couldn't be met. On top of that, we were lowballed a refund amount that did NOT match the contract pricing. Our overall impression of Ol Fashion Flare is that the owner is that she lacks accountability, shifting blame and responsibility onto us (adding issues that weren't originally discussed), outright dishonesty, and lacks communication

I recently rented a large tent with windows/walls, lighting, tables, chairs, linen and tableware…read morefrom Allied Party Rental for a sit-down dinner for my daughter's graduation, and unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory. The initial communication with Allied Party Rental was very positive. When communicating through email, the staff was friendly, and everything seemed to be on track. I was optimistic about the service and excited for the event. Delivery day is where everything began to go wrong. I admit that I overlooked the delivery date on the contract and was not expecting the equipment to be delivered almost five days prior to the event. When the delivery team arrived, I was not home and informed my husband that there was an error and he then informed them as such, so they left. I immediately contacted Allied Party Rental and was made aware of the original contract delivery date. Within minutes of the drivers leaving, someone at the company was able to speak with the drivers and the next step decided was that they would go to lunch and would return to drop-off the equipment right after. For anyone wondering why I had concerns with the initial delivery, it was because I was scheduled to host two events. The first event was on Saturday, and the tent was not needed because it would reduce the necessary space and interfere with the ability to use a grill. The second event, where the tent was required, was scheduled for Monday. After two hours of waiting, I made a call to check their status. I was informed they were on their way. After an additional 3 hours of waiting (total of 5+ hours later) I was now understandably frustrated that the delivery team had not returned. On my final call to check the delivery status, I expressed my frustration to Kristen and asked for a specific arrival time, as I had other plans. She responded rudely, saying, "Well, ma'am, you turned our drivers away, they were there, and your contract stated this was your delivery date." When I asked if they provided delivery reminder calls/emails/text messages, to check the time of availability, I was told they did not. When I mentioned that my review of the company would not be favorable, I was put on hold and then a manager got on the line. I explained the issue and asked why Kristen transferred me without first updating me of the transfer, his response was "because when someone is threatening a poor review, I need to be made aware." He then proceeded to not take accountability or to apologize for the extended delay. I will note that the delivery team arrived while I was on the phone with the manager. Post the delivery debacle, I found that the tent equipment had holes in two of the plastic "window/wall" sections as well as black smudge marks visible on the clear sections that could not be cleaned using a soft microfiber cloth. This looked unsightly and required me to be creative with decorating. Additionally, the tables and chairs were very dirty and needed significant cleaning before use, which was unacceptable even though we ordered linen. Overall, I just found that there was a lack of accountability and communication with the rental company not accepting responsibility for the additional five-hour wait after being told the team would return right after lunch and, that the company does not provide delivery confirmation calls/emails/text messages or reminders, which could have possibly prevented this issue. To add to this unfortunate experience, the equipment pickup, which I understood was supposed to be the next business day after the scheduled event, did not go as planned either. Given the stress and inconvenience caused by these problems, I cannot recommend Allied Party Rental and will not use them for any of my future events.
