Dress My Party - Party Rentals

I used Dress My Party for linens, tables and chairs at my ceremony & reception.  A few thoughts: If you really want to have a unique wedding, you need to find a rental company that actually has unique things.  Most companies have the basics, but I was really impressed with their choice in linens.  Lots of colors and textures. With my cushion-textured linens, I paid almost half with Dress My Party over what I would pay at Classic or some of the other companies.  Helps to keep up the look that we were hoping for.  As for chairs, we used their gold chiavaris. Listen up: $4 each. Great deal. I would definitely recommend them.  I thought everyone there was really nice. Super easy to reach. I would find myself emailing their staff late at night. They were always available. That helped keep my mind at ease as we got close to the date.

I've got a detailed, verbose account of our dealings with Dress My Party listed on that other review site, but seeing as there are word limits on Wedding Wire, I can't post it here. If you really want to see what it's like dealing with Dress My Party, I strongly suggest you check out the review there.

Bottom line: DO not use Dress My Party for ANY event! If you decide to not heed my warning, I strongly suggest you hire a lawyer beforehand to highlight any area of liability DMC has left you open to- oh, and be prepared to pay much more than you were quoted as there is a good chance they'll find some reason to charge you extra. Don't be pressured into ANYTHING by these crooks- this couple learned the hard way and would hate for anyone else to fall victim to their shady business practices. While their services were OK, the amount of headache is not worth doing any sort of business with this company. Stay away!

The Ritz Carlton suggested I use Jenny from Dress my Party and it was the best decision I made for my wedding- besides my husband! Jenny gave me the lowest cost compared to all the other vendors, explained everything to me, and communicated to me as quickly and easily as possible. She never missed a beat and often caught things that I missed. She understood what it meant to be a client and be treated well, which I feel other vendors can be confused about-- like you should be thankful to have them, when you're the one paying. My wedding looked insanely gorgeous because of Jenny's eye to detail, honesty, and ability to pull through in the clutch when I really had been screwed over by another vendor. Despite their high end clientele, they can make room for any type of client and accommodate any budget while still making you feel like a priority. I would recommend them over and over and over again! Thank you Jenny!!!- Diana Levy!

So my location was really spectacular because it is this massive garden area.  However, it literally didn't have anything else but pretty plants, so I had to rent EVERYTHING to create my ceremony and reception.  I decided to work with Dress My Party.  Best prices I found and great selection. I had to get all the basics: chairs, tables, and so on.  Then, tried to create something special.  I rented a huge tent and dance floor from them.  The ceiling swags and chandeliers made the tent spectacular and different from some of my friends weddings.  BTW: best prices on uplights - $10 for LED (they don't get hot) and WAY cheaper on ceiling swags than some other people I found.  Seems like that is something people want to gouge brides on, but I got a great price.  I used some black and white damask so it was a cool contrast to all of the green plant life.  Jennifer was my designer and she was great.  Gotta say: I called her once at 11:45 at night thinking I was going to leave a message and she answered the phone and helped me out with an issue.  Somehow I forgot that was her cell.  Very cool on her part.  I felt like an idiot bothering her at night, and she didn't care.  Totally helpful.  Another thing to mention is their ability to come through at the last minute.  They told me that they would get us anything we needed at the last minute with nothing more than a 25% markup on the rental prices no matter what it cost them.  Turns out, I needed more damask linens and they kept their word.  Very minor charge for something I ordered 48 hours before my event.  They literally made them and came through.   I've recommended them to a couple of girlfriends.

I used Dress My Party for my lighting. Totally didn't expect them to be in that part of the rental world. To save costs, I used the linens and chairs that the hotel provided. But we were really trying to create a club atmosphere for the reception, so I checked them out for lighting. Huge win. I rented 30+ uplights that were set for all kinds of colors. Really cool. Also, my husband (the total tech geek) thought that because they were LED lights that they were really cool and apparently environmentally good, too. In the end, I spent $10 per uplight and totally changed the look of the room. You seriously don't have to spend that much money to make a big impact. The DJ was great, so we really pulled off what we were trying to do.

My wife and I used Dress My Party in Monrovia for our wedding and could not have been more pleased. We didn't want your typical rentals and finding contemporary rentals was an experience. Dress My Party exceeded our expectations in every way. We met with Jennifer and she really went out of her way to assist us with some special lighting needs. She even threw in some free special effects without us even asking. I work with many professionals and I can say that she really knows her craft and is extremely hands on; ensuring everything is delivered as promised. By trade, I review contracts on a regular basis. I cannot express how diligent Dress My Party is with their contract. It is a little redundant, but only in an effort to educate the client, who may not be accustomed to signing contracts. I applaud them on the efforts to educate the consumer and ensure all of the details are covered before, during and after the event. I look forward to working with Dress My Party again on future events.

We were lucky enough to find Dress My Party for all our table linens and decor. Since we were planning from a distance, we needed to make sure we had everything in order before we arrived. The product that was delivered was neatly packaged, a great value, and high quality. Jennifer and her staff helped make my daughters wedding not only beautiful but delivered as promised, was available whenever I needed her, and was a joy to work with. Thank you so much for all your help and for a wonderful experience.

Jennifer at Dress My Party provided professional, unique and honest services for my wedding. They provided chivari chairs, tables, dance floor, table settings, canopy and string lights. My reception was in my backyard and seating 90+ people for a sit down dinner with a dance floor and DJ was difficult but she was able to pull it off with all my last minute (day before) requests. She came to my house personally to oversee the set up and her crew was professional, courteous and prompt. It isnt all about money and anyone planning a party should know this! Dress my party was inexpensive, NOT CHEAP and worth every penny!

This company is just AMAZING!

I had the help of Jennifer, the design consultant, and she was an absolute heaven sent! She made my day wonderful, effective, and truly special. They are great to not up-sell you things you do not need, are honest about what works/what doesn't and are extremely patient with don't-know-anything-about-wedding brides like myself!

So extremely helpful and sweet, this company gave me everything that I needed and took care of so much for me! They were on time, professional, and worked hard to make sure all my needs were met. The value for this amazing service on top of the pristine quality items they rented to me, is just mind blowing! They made my day so special and easy!

Recommend this company to everyone; two thumbs up and all positive feedback!

The sales rep we dealt with was pushy and almost outright rude. Part of her off-putting and unnecessary sales pitch had been that DMP was the only rental company in SoCal that had magenta-colored water goblets (which is true…our wedding planner had called 30+ companies looking for purple or pink colored stemware). Of course, I assumed that meant DMP really did have the goblets, you know… in their possession. Not so. After we went through hoops to sign their ridiculous (and poorly-written) 12-page contract, DMP called the week of the wedding to say that the goblets were stuck in international customs and wouldn’t arrive in time for the wedding. They gave us a refund, but left us hanging at the last minute, right when things were most stressful. I feel it was a misleading and unethical business practice for DMP to enter into a contractual agreement to provide a specific item they didn’t even have.

Having colored stemware was part of my vision for the wedding from the beginning, so we settled on pale purple tinted stemware from another company. That stemware didn’t have nearly the impact I wanted and would have gotten with the DMP glasses, but at least that company fulfilled their obligation. DMP was unreliable in my experience and I absolutely cannot recommend them.

Wow! Dress my party was the absolute best rental company I have ever worked with! Their linens were just gorgeous and Jennifer was such a pleasure to work with. She could not be more helpful and had such amazing ideas to help me out with my wedding! I absolutely recommend dress my party! They really know what they are doing and for unreal prices! Thank you again Jennifer!

There services are amazing! Dress My Party has the best customer service, great product, and the best prices! They showed up on time, and set everything up perfectly.

I had the most amazing expreince with Dress My Party. They had the best customer service. They designed my table and chairs in front of me until I found what I like. They were organized, on time, and had the lowest prices I could find. Amazing company

I was blown away by Dress My Party! I'm not sure what Rubina is talking about...Dress My Party price matches so you can always get the lowest price...they were the lowest I found! Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and took her time to help me find my perfect look! They did an amazing and efficient job in setting up and had a lot of beautiful and unique items to choose from. A great selection overall! I wouldn 't have put my special day in anyone else's hands!

This place charges an arm and a leg in fees, and they act like they're doing you a favor by renting their stuff to you. Unfortunately, I didn't find any alternatives so I had to go with them. The tablecloths, chargers, candelabras, and cake stand that we rented were beautiful. But the people at this place were incredibly rude. We were going to use their chair covers initially, but they charge an insane amount of fees, such that the initial price balloons by a couple of dollars (which adds up if you're having 200+ chairs). Don't bother getting chair covers from here.

Jennifer was great to work with. She shared great tips and the guest tables looked great. Her recommendation for our sweetheart table made our special seating incredible. It was absolutely beautiful and I had many guests comment on how beautiful our table was. I would ABSOLUTELY use Dress My Party for another event and also highly recommend them.

Working with Jennifer at Dress My Party has been such a great experience. She is so knowledgable and she provides such friendly and responsive service. I have really appreciated the thoughts and advice she has given me to make my wedding day my dream come true without spending the crazy amounts I was quoted at other rental companies.

I would highly recommend Jennifer and Dress My Party to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

This vendor was really good. The chairs we rented look very beautiful. They did a fantastic job and were really helpful. I would recommend them to anyone!

Jennifer was very helpful and nice.
Hours are limited.

I have used Dress My Party for several parties and attended a few weddings with the decor designed from Dress My Party. Everything is always amazing and uniquely different. I love that they stay current with trends and always have great products and service. I always tell people about this place. i have tried so many different rental companies and now I dont go anywhere else. They have the best selection and the prices are amazingly the BEST out there. I really love how detailed they are with the contract - nothing is hidden and they ask a lot of details.

Jennifer at Dress My Chair was AWESOME!!! She was so sweet and she hooked it up for our wedding! The linens were amazing and they are at a VERY affordable price. I would HIGHLY recommend checking this place out if you need anything for your wedding. They have all kind of linens, napkins, chairs, plates, etc. Thanks Jennifer... you are amazing! :)

I rented chiavari chairs and a banquet table from here. The chairs are in super great shape and looked AMAZING; they drastically pulled together the chic look I was going for. The chair pads are stuck onto the chair via velcro on the seats and stuck throughout the evening. The banquet table was easily set up and broken down, and the chairs were delivered punctually-- a day prior to my event. Dress My Party really came through for me, and I am very glad I found them! I'll be renting from them again in the future-- for any parties because they can surely be used for any occasion!

The service was out of this world, helped us saved a lot of money so we can have other accommodations and made the wedding itself absolutely stellar.

These guys are extremely busy, so you must book early, but they did a fantastic job, at what me and my wife thought a fairly priced, cost.

awesome job.

this vendor listened to us and our needs and wants. Not once were they pushy. They made lovely suggestions and were always quick to answer any questions via e-mail or phone.

They are the best rental source for linens and have AMAZING quality for the price

I was beyond impressed. They provide you with the most beautiful equipment and such affordable cost. I was able spend more money on other service because of the money I saved. All of my guest thought everything looked like a million bucks and when they found out how much it really cost, they were floored!

Thank you so much for making my day so elegant but affordable :)

Beautiful, part of my venue! Loved them!

I went with Dress My Party because they were so incedibly helpful and had unique things! They did amazing mock set ups in the store at my first consultation with so many different options. The salesgirl spent so much time with me changing the options until we came up with the perfect option. They have so much selection - it is a little overwhelming - but so amazing compared to other vendors. They really took the time to go over all the details and everything was recorded in detail on the contract. The prices are amazing - the only downside to giving them such a glowing review is that i want to keep them to myself as my little secret! But they deserve the shining review - they did an amazing job.

A bit hard to get a hold of, but definitely worth it. Very reasonable, professional and have great suggestions. A few problems came up but they handled it very well and delivered. They have a great selection and are willing to do whatever needed to get the job done.

They are FANTASTIC !!!!!

Extremely professional and have a lot to offer for any special occasion. Count on them!
