Instead of Broadway, Your New Name should be WrongWay! We hope No-One will do business with you…read moreafter reading this. After my visit yesterday to A1 (formerly Broadway Rental), I wish zero stars was an option, because that's how bad my experience was.I came to the store looking to rent some scaffolds. The clerk asked for my driver license, I provided that to him. He looked puzzled and called for his manager Zack. They said there's a note here to not do business with me or my wife, due to a discrepancy from April 2021. That caught me by surprise because they said they are under new management. So I challenged them that if they truly are under new mgmt, then they should forget about the past discrepancy and do business with me. They said nope, You need to clear that up with the Party rental folks. I said, look, I'm willing to forgive you all of offending us and moving forward if you will. He continue to tell me emphatically NO! Now sense he wanted to continue trying to humiliate me, let me tell you why there was a discrepancy to begin with. In 2021, we rented a Gold Throne chair from Broadway Party Rental, for our very special 90 year old dad's birthday party. When the chair was delivered to us (late by the way) it was in bad shape, did't look as beautiful as the picture, paint was chipped, stains were on the velvet seat, both arms were broke and poorly glued back together, the legs were chipped, scratched, and looking wretched. We called the company to stress our disappointment, asked to speak with the manager. When we got on the phone with him and started to tell him about the issue, He became irate with us, thinking we were a different previous customer that had already complained about other chairs that were rented. Here's the catch, he said "You people are all the same. You rent from us and all you want to do is get stuff for free" We told him we never rented from from him and he had the wrong customer. We asked him what is that supposed to mean, he says "you know exactly what that means". So, yes we called him a racist, returned his broke down chair, and never looked back. The chair wasn't worth the $85.00 rental fee. We would have agreed to getting a better chair, as it wasn't about the money for us, because that chair wasn't worth $5.00. The close up photos show how abused the chair was when delivered. You can't tell from the full picture just how bad it was. Now a year later and New Mgmt, we see that they are still up to there old tricks. It should not have been a race issue. You classified us by saying "You people are all the same". Never the less, our fathers event was amazing and Thank God we made it, even with that horrible chair. By the way, Home Depot rental had everything I needed and was quite happy to do business with me. We encourage anyone who sees this review to think twice about A1 and Broadway Party Rental. This shows a lack of integrity on the part of the business and the Mgmt has not demonstrated any effort to move forward.

I rented a tent, tables, chairs, table linens, and glassware from Broadway Party and Tent Rental…read more(BPTR) - cost in excess of $2,000.00 - for a wedding at our home in Roseville, MN A few days before the event, BPTR sent out Gopher State to mark utilities in advance of setting up the tent. This marking should have been done with "flags only," but due to a lack of communication between BPTR and Gopher State it was marked in paint. The entire grassy lawn where the wedding was to take place was covered in Day-Glo red and orange paint just days before the event. Since the marking was done by Gopher State (at BPTR's request and direction) BPTR denies any responsibility. Tony at BPTR says "This happens every now and then - it's just the luck of the draw - it's not our fault." He (Tony) suggested that I purchase green spray paint and try to paint over the mess. Next, the tent and chairs arrived. I had specifically asked if the white tent and chairs would be clean and in good condition. The representative at BPTR assured me that "we take great pride in the excellent condition of our rental equipment." The tent that was delivered had apparently been stored soiled and wet. The "white" tent/canopy was covered inside and out with splotches of black mold. The chairs were also filthy - among the identifiable substances on the chairs were dried mustard, red wine, and dessicated pickle slices. I paid an additional $100 fee for tent lighting that was to be equipped with dimmer switches - guess what - no dimmers! The only option was to shine glaring, halogen work lights down on our guests. I could go on - for example the condition of the tables etc. - but you get the idea. It's unfortunate that in situations like this the customer has little or no recourse. One either has to accept what is delivered or go without. We (a team of 5 friends and family members) spent hours (of our wedding day) scrubbing down both the tent and 175 chairs with bleach and water in order to provide a sanitary environment for our guests. The guys who delivered the equipment said "You should call and complain about this." We did. Tony and Terry (owner/manager) both assured us how "terribly sorry" they were about our experience. But what would they do about it? NOTHING. Companies like BPTR get away with this because weddings are (with luck and love) once-in-a-lifetime events and they (BPTR) are apparently not concerned about the repeat business. I'm taking the time to write this in the hope that it will warn others what to expect if they choose Broadway Party and Tent Rental for their special day.

The venue itself it GORGEOUS- it has so much charm that we barely had to decorate to make it look picture perfect! We received SO many compliments on how awesome the space was!

Amber was also incredible to work with- She kept us updated on COVID precautions as our date was approaching and was quick to respond to any concerns/questions.

I was instantly impressed in our pre-wedding meeting, as she adeptly navigated all of the opinions and ideas in the room. The day of the wedding she was a delight to work with. She kept everything in order and on schedule, but in a way where it felt like she was enjoying the day along with us. And the photos... WOW! All of the incredible emotion of the day that I loved in her portfolio - I could not have been happier with how she captured the same memories for our wedding. I could not be happier with our choice to hire Sally as our wedding photographer.

I love Sally. Just love her…read more I met her several years ago through a mutual friend. She has since taken professional photos of myself and coworkers for my "day job", shot my wedding (marriage didn't work out, but boy were the photo's beautiful), took some family photos for my parent's 50th, and now has taken some photos for use on a new website I am creating for my retirement gig - my profile yelp picture was taken by Sally. Like the other reviewers, I do not particularly enjoy having my photo taken, but Sally always makes it fun and the photos that she gets as a result of her ability to make her subjects feel at ease are phenomenal. She also has great, creative ideas and is willing to do almost anything to get the perfect shot - from trudging out onto a frozen lake Minnetonka as mentioned by one reviewer, to showing up at my farm ready and willing to climb into pig pens to take photos of piglets. (Well, maybe not so "ready" - the sparkly flip flops had to go...But once I had her in some waders, she was unstoppable). I can and do recommend her highly to anyone looking for a photographer. You will be so pleased.

We instantly fell in love with the aesthetic and received many compliments from our guests about the space and decor. The brick interior gives such a warm, home-style feel to such a big occasion, and it helped our guests settle in right away. The bar was very easy to coordinate and was quick to accommodate a couple of special requests we made. If there's anything we would have changed in retrospect, it would have been establishing some sort of off-site shuttle option. Luckily, our Sunday afternoon event was on a weekend where the Vikings were out of town and street parking was readily available. Still, this isn't any fault of the venues -- just a logistical thing to consider for your day. We can confidently say we would have our event at Watson Block even if given a do-over.
