This was not for a weeding event, it was for my husband’s 50th birthday party. But would definitely recommend them for weddings.

The team at A Grand Event is excellent. When COVID-19 forced us to cancel our 120-person wedding, we decided on a small, family-only backyard ceremony. The team at A Grand Event wa...
s efficient, responsive, and professional. They quickly arranged an onsite visit, where they mapped out a tent design and floor that would give us as much room as possible for the reception. They also lined the perimeter with bulb lights, which made the entire thing feel pretty magical once the sun started to set. The set-up and breakdown processes were seamless, and the tent itself felt very sturdy and secure. We’d work with them again in a heartbeat!

We used A Grand Event for a micro wedding and only had a short time to plan. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rope/pole tent we had was very clean and the Edison ligh...
ts made it even prettier.
We also used them for tables/chairs/dishes, etc and everything came clean. Some of the gold chairs were a little worn down, but the cushions covered up the wear and tear.
I would definitely use them again.

with mold stains and had to be switched out. The administrative staff was responsive to our concerns and we were able to use clear panels instead.

Like the previous reviewer, I also had my wedding at the Hendry House, and chose A Grand Event of the 2 permitted tent vendors because of the better reviews. I also ended up using...
A Grand Event for my tables, chairs, etc., because -- while other places were cheaper -- A Grand Event had a more extensive range of table sizes that allowed us to better utilize our limited venue space. We were also able to rent some odds and ends through them, like ice chests and buckets, pillars for our altar arrangements, etc.
We worked primarily with Wes, and to a lesser extent with Kristen, both of whom were super responsive and helpful. We also stopped by the storeroom to make our linen selections, and while they don't have any tents set up because there isn't room, you can see pretty much everything else, so that was helpful.
We also ended up canceling a few items a couple of weeks before our wedding but after I had sent in the check for the balance, and we received the refund check promptly a few days after the wedding. A+ for professionalism and overall convenience.

A Grand Event was easy to work with, responsive via email, and gave us a discount for paying in cash for our wedding tent at the Hendry House in Arlington VA. They are one of two a...
pproved tent vendors for this site and I chose them based on their better reviews. Wes guided me on the various choices I needed to make. We had a frame tent with lights and fans and a marquee tent over the stairs between house and tent in case of rain. It did not rain, but the tent still provided welcome shade and a festive feel (we decorated it with flag bunting in rows overhead.
One lesson learned (too late for me but may help you): Be sure to communicate as early as you know, and then again in the last days prior to your event, about the timeline. AGE initially gave us a window of "9-12" to set up the tent, and said they'd get back to us closer to the date. They didn't, and I forgot to confirm. I did assume the window meant that at the latest they'd be done at noon, but though they'd arrived on the early side of the window and the tent was "up" by 11:45, they were still securing it and installing weights, lights, and fans until about 1pm. Our decorator was there at 11 hoping to start putting up the bunting. And their large truck was blocking the service drive, interfering with delivery of alcohol, cake, and flowers. All is well that ended well...everyone delivered, tent got decorated, etc. But do talk through with ALL vendors the schedule of the other vendors if you can to avoid delays and anxiety on your part!

house, so I asked if the could bring everything on Thurs instead of Fri and it was no problem. They picked up on Tuesday and everything went great. The pearl lights I rented gave the most amazing feel to the wedding. Just a very soft warm glow with the clear sides of the tent. I did everything over email and it was sooo easy. I will definitely use you again for any future tent rentals.
