What some of their previous couples had to say….
“I can’t say enough positive things about the team at Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals! From planning to execution, they really created the stress-free process we were hoping for on and leading up to our big day. Brittney was very attentive and responsive – willing to work with us and quickly accommodated a change we made a month before the wedding. The setup crew was fantastic! They were patient, thorough, punctual, and oh so helpful. Would strongly recommend to friends and family!” – Michelle Solano, Private residence
“Working with Darrin at Orlando Wedding and Party for three functions for my daughter’s wedding/rehearsal/brunch was an awesome experience! He went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. He was polite and very professional as well as the delivery and set up staff. I would highly recommend them for any function where you would need party supply items! Thanks again for all your help!!!” – Meg Avitabile, Lake Mary Events Center
“Darrin and the staff at Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals were incredible from start to finish. I simply sent my theme, and Darrin supplied me with furniture selections to pull off the most awesome 30th birthday party for my husband that I could’ve envisioned. Delivery guys were helpful and such gentlemen. Darrin even supplied a tent at the last second, which saved the day because it was an outdoor event and the weather didn’t cooperate. The event was perfect. I highly recommend!” – Joy McGill, Private residence
