Event Essentials handles all of Buck & Honey’s rentals, including linens, and they are truly wonderful to work with. Their customer service is consistently outstanding—responsive, organized, and incredibly accommodating. The quality of their products is excellent. Everything arrives clean, pressed, and in beautiful condition, which makes a noticeable difference in the overall look and feel of an event. Melissa, in particular, is an absolute pleasure to work with. She goes above and beyond to make the process seamless and is always generous with ideas and thoughtful suggestions. The entire Event Essentials team is creative, reliable, and genuinely invested in helping events look their best. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
As a catering manager, having reliable rental partners is absolutely essential, and Event Essentials is one of the best in the business. Our sales rep, Melissa, is truly outstanding. She is incredibly quick to respond, always upbeat and kind, and genuinely understands the realities of live events. She has gone above and beyond for us more times than I can count — including personally delivering linens when a last-minute request came in after our weekly delivery had already been completed. In events, we do everything we can to stay ahead of every detail, but when something inevitably shifts, Melissa is there to help problem-solve and fix it before a client ever notices. It also brings so much confidence to our team knowing that we can almost instinctively say, “Of course, we can rent that through our partner and bring it to your event.” Event Essentials makes our jobs easier, our events smoother, and our clients happier. We are so grateful for this partnership.
As an event planner and designer, Event Essentials is my go-to for any rentals. They have such a wide inventory and are always super easy to work with. Their policies are clear, their staff is responsive, and their crew is super efficient. They have the ability to create mock ups and design boards with their specific inventory which can really help pull the vision together. Julie is my account rep and she's fantastic to work with. They have definitely come through on more than one occasion with last minute requests from clients and it's always a great feeling to be able to pull it off with such a supportive team of event professionals. If you need rentals from tents to flooring, linens, dinnerware, and more- definitely start here!
Event Essentials absolutely knocked it out of the park on our holiday project. Korrine, the designer and project lead, provided incredibly creative ideas and flawless execution, and her fantastic support staff truly went above and beyond. If you’re planning an event, fundraiser, wedding, or a memorable party at home, Event Essentials is the best choice. I’ve worked with them for years and wouldn’t consider anyone else for any major event in my life. They’ve managed everything for me—my wedding, birthday parties, picnics, fundraisers—and every experience has been outstanding. You will never be disappointed.
Working with Event Essentials, and especially Julie, was an absolute dream from start to finish. The design process was so easy and efficient — everything felt seamless and stress-free. Julie was truly delightful to work with; her warm personality, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm made the entire experience not only smooth but incredibly enjoyable. She took the time to truly understand my vision, and then brought it to life in a way that was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. When I walked into my wedding venue all set up for the first time, I instantly cried tears of joy — it was perfect in every way. Julie captured every detail I had hoped for, and somehow elevated it beyond my dreams. If you want a team that listens, cares, and goes above and beyond to create magic, I wholeheartedly recommend Event Essentials. Julie is a gem, and I’ll forever be grateful for the beauty she created on my wedding day.
