Ok place to rent tents and chairs

I would never go anywhere else! The service is top notch, from the owner to the team. Even the delivery guys were super nice and professional. They have beautiful linens, chairs, tables, you name it! For a wedding or any kind of party, go to McCarthy. They are wonderful, knowledgeable, flexible and the prices are very fair. They saved my wedding day when I needed a bunch of changes to my contract at the last minute due to a rainy forecast. I cannot say enough good things!read more

I would recommend using McCarthy’s for your next event! They answered all of my questions and changed my quote multiple times before I booked them. They even came back and moved the dance floor for us after they had already left.read more

We are so pleased with McCarthy! We rented a tent for our daughter's wedding and everything was professionally set up and taken down on schedule. They are so easy to deal with and made a last-minute change for us that was handled pleasantly and professionally. Thanks so much for making our event perfect!!!read more

I went to McCarthy Tents & Events to add bistro lighting for a little ambiance under the wedding reception tent and they did not disappoint! Their lights gave the extra oomph the tent needed to have that romantic ambiance you want for a wedding :) The entire staff was friendly and easy to get in touch with, and the person installing the lights sent me pictures to make sure it was what I envisioned!read more

The wedding was spectacular! All went well, starting with the weather. McCarthy's wonderful crew set up the tents in the POURING RAIN 2 days in advance. It kept the ground underneath somewhat drier, and thus was completely dry by Saturday. The service was awesome - the staff always provided prompt answers to my many questions over 6 months, and had great flexibility near the end with my additions and subtractions. I was quite impressed with how spacious the 40'x100' tent was with 200+ people inside it! I highly recommend McCarthy's for any event!read more

We had a fantastic experience working with McCarthy Tents & Events. They came highly recommended by the caterer we chose for our barn wedding and did not disappoint. Their delivery, set-up and pick-up were all prompt and seamless. Communication was continuous and easy throughout the process. At one point, we almost had to choose a different champagne flute for our table setting due to the high demand of wedding season, however, McCarthy went the extra mile and ordered additional flutes specifically for us to rent for the wedding. Thanks for helping make our wedding so special!!read more

McCarthy Tents and Events provided excellent service from start to finish for my daughter's outdoor wedding. The tent was pristine and all equipment was delivered and removed promptly. Their expertise with events guided my decisions for tables, chairs, table settings, bar, linens, stage and dance floor leaving no shortage of needed equipment. The rentals were clean and high quality. The staff from the office to the set up crew were exceptional. Everything went perfectly smoothly for the wedding thanks to their professionalism.read more

I rented a white dance floor for my indoor wedding at the Sheraton At the Falls in Niagara Falls in New York. From start to finish, everything went well with McCarthy Tents & Events. I am an out of country bride, and so excellent communication via email was important to me. The staff were very professional, and communication was amazing. Any questions/concerns I had were always answered in a timely manner. Highly recommended!read more

I am a wedding and event planner and always recommend working with McCarthy Tents & Events to all my clients. Their focus on customer service is one of my favorite aspects about this company. I know they will treat my clients, their events, and me with the attention and care we deserve.They answer emails within 24 hours, someone always answers the phone, and they do whatever they can to make sure your event goes off without a hitch. Their inventory is constantly being refreshed as the team travels to learn about new offerings in the rental business. But if they don't have what you're looking for, they'll build it! The event rental business has many challenges (inventory, logistics, weather, the list goes on) and it takes a dedicated team to accomplish what they do and maintain the reputation they do. Don't look anywhere else! Hire McCarthy Tents & Events!read more

I have worked with McCarthy on countless weddings and events. As an event planner, they are my go to rental company! We have done small linen orders to full wedding tents with all the fixings. They always deliver great products! When getting linens from McCarthy, they are always clean - which is not the case with every rental company. When using them for a tent, I always trust their team to do a great job with professionalism. And the in office staff is truly wonderful, always answering the many many questions I have on behalf of my clients. Thank you for all that you do Team McCarthy!read more

Just a note to say thank you to your whole team for helping us to execute our very successful event! From choosing the linens, to my last emergency request for silverware, your team was incredible! Everyone who answered the phone, who helped us choose designs, were helpful, kind and patient with us! We look forward to working with you in the future! Thanks again!read more

The tent we got from McCarthy's was a big beautiful double poled white tent that immediately brought a festive look to the yard. A crew came, led (I think) by Adam Bentivegna; they were responsible and responsive and a pleasure to work with. LIghts on the tent added a welcome touch. I also got the 12' x 12' dance floor which for my party was a little small (around 80 people) but aside from that, everything went smoothly with getting the tent up and down and I would gladly return as a customer again.read more

McCarthy tent did a great job in all the details from beginning to end . Tent came on schedule and crew worked effectively even added the extra grapevine wreaths for us . Nate in the office is by far the best customer service support I have worked with. They even came and brought extra stuff we ordered at last minute. I highly recommend McCarthys !read more

19:30 21 Jun 18

The day has not quite arrived yet. So far the service has been very pleasant and efficient. But they can not pinpoint a 4 hour window when they may arrive to set up. To just say they will call you 30 minutes prior is not helpful. When you are planning a large party, that's not exactly a timetable that works. I would think by the day before, you could pinpoint either morning or afternoon for a delivery schedule.read more

I connected with Mike (based out of Buffalo) at McCarthy's for ALL my rental needs for our backyard wedding (tent, tables and chairs, lights, ovens, grills, plates, silverware, linens, EVERYTHING) and had a truly fantastic experience. With all the moving pieces that go into a wedding the rentals was a piece I never worried about. Every time I called (planning this from Boston) all my questions were answered by Mike or someone on the team. Costs were always clear and the set up and take down were seamless. I would recommend them fully and without hesitation, they are simply the BEST!!!!read more

I worked with McCarthy Tents & Events over the past year while planning for my July wedding. The staff there is so incredibly kind and receptive to your needs. We could not have been happier with the service we received. The sail cloth tent we had set up at our wedding - all I can say is WOW. It was beyond incredible. We doubled up on the lights and the outcome was magical. I still day dream about the tent and how gorgeous it was. Do yourself a favor and work with McCarthy Tents & Events for any celebration - you will not be disappointed!! read more
