Great experience working with Apres! They had a quick response time and we’re flexible with my pick up and drop off time since I live far away. The champagne flutes were absolutely...
perfect for our event. 100% recommend.
Unfortunately, our experience with Apres Rentals fell well below our expectations.
Following our initial consultation, our order was entered incorrectly, and the invoice omitted m...
any of the items we had discussed, requiring multiple follow-ups to correct the mistakes. Throughout the planning process, communication was slow and inconsistent, making what should have been a straightforward process far more stressful than it needed to be.
When we picked up our rental items, we were surprised by how poorly the dishes were packed for transport. Fragile items were not packaged in a way that inspired confidence they would arrive safely at the venue.
The most disappointing part of our experience came after the wedding. Candle wax had dripped onto several linens, and we were charged nearly $1,000 in stain-removal fees—more than $100 per linen. The amount seemed excessive, especially given the circumstances, and we were disappointed by the lack of flexibility or customer service in how the matter was handled.
Overall, the repeated mistakes, communication issues, and handling of the post-wedding charges left us feeling that customer service was not a priority. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I believe it's important for other couples to know about our experience. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Apres Rentals.
We got married at the Woodland Glasshaus in June and rented most all of our linens, plates, silverware, lamps, dance floor and draping from Apres. They did an incredible job. From ...
the initial design meeting, to the execution, they were helpful, kind, and professional. Everything looked amazing!! We would highly recommend them for all your rental needs!!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! ✨🥹🎉
LOVED OUR EXPERIENCE WITH ANDREA AT APRÈS!!!
We used Après for ALL decor and rentals + a clear-span tent with cafe lighting! Ever...
y element of the wedding visually, with the exception of floral, was through this vendor!
As both a wedding industry professional and a sister helping lead the planning efforts for my sister's backyard wedding on Lake Minnetonka, I came into this experience with an endless list of vendors to choose from with a great amount of industry knowledge. Andrea and her operations team absolutely blew all of our hopes and expectations out of the water!! Here are a few reasons why 🫶🏼
From the very beginning, Andrea and the team brought an incredible level of professionalism, organization, and expertise—but what truly set them apart was their energy. Every single person showed up with enthusiasm, positivity, and a genuine passion for making the day special.
Planning a wedding at a private residence comes with countless moving pieces, and they handled every detail with confidence, grace, and a smile. They anticipated needs before we even had to ask, communicated seamlessly, and made the entire process feel effortless.
As someone who works in this industry every day, I know firsthand how much effort goes into creating a flawless event. Exceptional service can be hard to find, and this team delivered it at every turn. As a client, I was beyond impressed. As a sister, I was incredibly grateful. 🙏🏼
The wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. The clear-span tent was absolutely stunning -- the execution and installation was customized and PERFECT. We've never seen our backyard look so incredible -- thanks to Aprés & Andrea's guidance and involvement! She and her operations team played such a huge role in making the day feel joyful, seamless, and truly magical. Our family is so thankful, and I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you for helping create one of the most meaningful and memorable days of our lives. We are forever grateful. 💗 - Samantha :)
Our wedding venue and catering situation required us to bring in everything from linens to place settings and servingware. We got quotes from three different potential rentals comp...
anies in the area before landing at Apres. Their selection and quality was a cut above - and my mom and I had a blast stopping by their showroom to decide on our final selections in person. They were priced competitively and we are so glad we booked with them! Delivery and pickup went smoothly, communications were prompt and easy, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone!
The team was great to work with and very accommodating. We had to make a number of changes to our order/quantites, and they were very responsive. They have a great variety of renta...
l items to choose from.
High quality products at reasonable prices. We rented a scrolled easel and 12 oz wine glasses. Both excellent. The service was quick and easy. Highly recommend!
Apres had everything we needed for our wedding day and was very communicative / responsive during planning. Unfortunately we were a little bummed out about the minimum price for de...
livery / set up, but it ended up working out as we found a few other items to add to our rental order. Everything looked amazing day of and they were flexible with the stage set up when there was a slight hiccup in the layout. We appreciated it!
The tent set up was breath-taking. We had so many guests ooh and ah over the pretty tables dressed in white & blue Panama linens and beverage displays with pretty glassware. (The l...
arger tent gave us extra space to move around and not be crowded.) We did fully open the sidewalls when we were sure the weather had passed- I was so glad that we opted for the higher end tent with movable sidewalls. Having high top tables outside the tent added fun spots to spend chatting.
Both the delivery/setup and takedown crew were very organized and helpful. We thought they worked like a well oiled machine and they got along with each other so well!
We will not hesitate in recommending Apres’ for anyone’s event needs. We thoroughly enjoyed the show room experience & on-site visit; Katiee and Emily you were both very helpful and had great ideas to make things go more smoothly. I know we were a small order, but for us it was a really big deal that turned out spectacular!
Thanks again for your fabulous service!
Staff great to work with, a large variety of options and rental items at the wedding reception were wonderful & perfect!
We recently had a large outdoor wedding of 270 guests, and Katiee from Apres, interpreted, our vision, and executed it perfectly. She and her team are professional, accommodating, ...
and flexible, as we had to make a number of rapid changes due to inclement weather that affected the event. Katiee was on site during the event, making sure that every detail was attended to.
I cannot recommend with any higher accolades the Apres team, they were absolutely fantastic !
We were thrilled to be able to work with Apres for our wedding decor needs. From their wide selection of rental products to their exceptional quality and outstanding service, Apres...
exceeded our expectations in every way.
One of the first things that impressed us about Apres was their extensive range of wedding rental products. They had everything we needed to bring our vision to life, from elegant table linens and beautiful tableware to stunning furniture pieces and stylish decor. The sheer variety of options allowed us to create a wedding aesthetic that was uniquely ours. No matter our style or theme, Apres had the perfect pieces to elevate our wedding decor.
The quality of Apres' rental products, especially their linens, was simply exceptional. The linens added an elegant touch to our cocktail hour and reception and elevated the overall atmosphere. The attention to detail and impeccable craftsmanship were evident in every piece. The linens were clean, crisp, and beautifully pressed, creating a luxurious ambiance that many guests complimented. The high-quality rentals provided by Apres truly made a difference in the overall look and feel of our wedding day.
One of the standout aspects of working with Apres was how easy and enjoyable they made the entire process. From our initial inquiry to the day of our event, their team was professional, attentive, and accommodating. They took the time to understand our needs and preferences, offering valuable suggestions and guidance along the way. Their expertise and knowledge of wedding rentals made the decision-making process a breeze.
The staff at Apres were responsive to our inquiries, always willing to answer our questions and address any concerns we had. Their team was organized and efficient, ensuring that our rental items were delivered and set up on time. The professionalism and reliability of Apres made us feel confident and at ease throughout the entire process.
Overall, our experience with Apres was nothing short of exceptional. Their wide selection of wedding rental products, exceptional quality linens, and easy-to-work-with team truly set them apart. If you're in need of wedding rentals that will elevate your special day to new heights, look no further than Apres. We are incredibly grateful to Apres for their contributions to our unforgettable wedding day.

solute pleasure- they were so kind, helpful, and quick to respond to emails. Kaitee offered extra help when I was stressed to the max with the planning process. I am forever grateful for them and all of the Apres staff for everything they’ve done and the seamless delivery process. As a bride, I highly suggest using them for any wedding decor needs!

Apres was amazing to work with. Our wedding looked stunning, and it's all thanks to their wonderful eye for style. There are two kinds of brides: the ones who have everything plann...
ed to a 'T' and the ones who have no idea what they are doing. I was the second kind of bride, and they did a wonderful job of using their expertise while checking in to make sure it's what I really wanted. They helped narrow down the overwhelming amount of options into something that fit my color scheme and general vibe, which allowed me to narrow things down to a perfect fit. To be honest, the process didn't take long at all because they are really good at what they do. If you have a strong vision, they can make that come to life for you, and are happy to let you lead the way, but I appreciated that they were also able to get such a good read on me and my style to help me make choices. They knew what I wanted better than I did and I was floored by their ability to take my loose ideas and pull it together. They'd show me an idea, and it was like "Yup, that's it. I didn't know that's what I wanted, but that's perfect." They were friendly, patient, and professional, and they will be my first call for any future events where I need rentals. I can't recommend them enough!
We worked with Susan from Apres on rental arrangements for tent, tables and chairs. Though our venue was out of the twin cities metro area, the teams that did set up and take down...

Had a GREAT experience with Apres Event Decor! They did the cafe lighting on the ceiling at my wedding venue at Interlachen Country Club. They were easy to work with and there were...
no issues with their set up and pick times. I worked with Elizabeth on the design and she was able to create a wonderful layout. I would recommend their services to all!!
Nikki at Apres Rental helped us get set up for all our rentals for our daughter’s outdoor wedding in August (tent, plates, glassware, linens, etc.). She advised us on things we kne...
w we needed and things we didn’t! She was very accommodating of our requested changes as the wedding day neared. Apres coordinated directly with our venue for the delivery/tent set-up and tear-down. A major storm hit the area the night before the wedding with strong winds which pulled up some of the tent poles and stakes. Luckily the tent was still standing in the morning. Apres’ emergency after hours crew came to stabilize everything before the wedding to be sure it was safe.
I have just two complains: 1. We emailed our requested table layout for the tent but this was flip flopped. We decided we could deal with it the way it was so didn’t ask for a change. 2. Our rental items (crates of plates and glassware, rack of linens) were left outside under an eave of the nearby clubhouse. Everything was wrapped in plastic but we felt this was still risky due to the forecast of rain and thunderstorms. We were luckily at the venue the night before the wedding so we were able to move everything inside.
Overall, great service and personalized attention!
Working with Apres for our wedding linens/dishes was great! Katiee was awesome and professional. She made it easy!
Susan from Apre worked tirelessly to make our event come to life and I can't say thank you enough. We had a very difficult reception venue and little support from the venue's desig...
nated event planner while trying to adhere to their numerous and sometimes outlandish rules.
Susan kept a level head through the difficult, continually changing responses from our venue. I think the best example of this is a 45 minute conference call that was needed between the venue, myself, and Susan from Apres. Susan led the conversation with problem-solving ideas that allowed our event to happen and kept pace with all the complex details, multiple orders, different delivery times, split payments etc. It was not an easy event to pull off! Her experience was greatly needed and appreciated.
All the logistics headaches paid off when the event came. The rentals elevated the space and created the vision I had been hoping for: down to earth wood tables with gold poka dot china, textured cocktail linens, welcoming seating areas, a big dance floor, and all the other little touches that made the day feel like a representation of my (now husband) and I.
Wedding rentals are hard (and sometimes expensive) work and my husband and I appreciated the dedication and partnership of Apres to make our event happen. We loved the outcome!
The decor was something that was EXTREMELY important to me, so I went to a few different show rooms to view people's rental items. I ended up picking Apres and was so happy about i...
t. I worked with Andrea, and she was really great. She showed me a bunch of options and really helped me create my vision for the wedding. Apres is really great because you can add and omit things on your order up to three days before your wedding. I also received EXTREMELY prompt responses via email from Andrea. I used Apres for cloth napkins, fun linens, aisle runner, and some vase rentals. Everything was clean, pressed, and looked like new! The delivery arrived on time. I would definitely recommend Apres for your rental vendor because they are easy to work with and their stuff is awesome! Thank you for everything!

We had a backyard wedding, so we got our tent, tables, and chairs through Apres. They are great! We had a million questions and they were very patient and helpful with us figuring ...
out all the details! They delivered and set everything up a few days before the wedding, and tore it down a few days after, which was nice so we didn't feel rushed when it came to getting it all decorated in time!

f beautiful décor, but their staff was so easy to work with and so accommodating. We had the pleasure of working with Katiee, who helped us select the perfect lace overlay for our head table, making it the focal point of our ballroom. She also helped us complete our vision of an elegant, romantic cocktail hour using their soft blush linens – it truly was the perfect touch! Thank you Katiee and Apres for adding elements of elegance to our reception!
If I could give zero stars I would have. My experience with this rental company was the absolute worst of the entire wedding planning process. They wasted three months of my time a...
s initially they said they could do our order no problem, but when we wanted to save a couple hundred and do the set up ourselves, it suddenly changed to that they could no longer help us out. Although I called to talk to a manager multiple times and left my number, of course they were always "busy", I never heard back from an actual manager. Not only that, but when the sale representative we were working with suddenly decided it was not an option for us to set up the decorations we wanted ourselves, I asked to speak to a manager. She would not put them on and after placing me on hold multiple times stated, "the managers have no interest in speaking with you, and I am not spending any more time on this", followed by hanging up on me. So if you do chose them, make sure you are spending a lot of money or they will probably drop you as a customer. Also hope that you don't have any problems because if you do, you will not be able to speak to a manager as they have no interest in talking to you.
Great choices for linens and offered a lot of ideas for decor. They were very flexible and as we made changes to amounts and added chargers the week of the wedding they accomodated...
us quickly. We originally started with another linen company and were not happy with their service and professionalism and made the switch to Apres. That was the best decision we could have made. The linens and chargers were breathtaking and I would certainly work with them again.

We already knew what we wanted to rent. Just 4 tables, 6 tableclothes, and silverware. It took several calls to finally get an order done. The first one they lost track of, so it t...
ook another few calls to try and get through to someone again and place an order again. We kept getting bounced around between voicemail boxes. It was way harder than it needed to be to get an order placed. And then the receptionist was very unhelpful. She would say Katie was in her office, but we wouldn't get in contact with Katie for another few days still. And the receptionist got frustrated with us for being frustrated? I don't know why we were having so many issues. We just wanted to place an order; we already knew exactly what we needed! Took at least a week to get everything squared away! The only reason we didn't switch to Ultimate was because Apres is closer. I am thankful for Apres having everything we needed though.
The service and staff at Apres were wonderful. Katie quickly figured out the look we hoped to create for our barn wedding and had wonderful ideas to compliment ours. Her taste is...
spot on, and her expertise immediately self-evident. The delivery men were also efficient and pleasant. We had one small order problem with the order, which the staff corrected immediately. From start to finish, it was easy to work with Apres.
My college-age daughter has been employed by a wedding planner for three summers. She had advised, "Mom, this is the company that you are going to rent from." She proved to be right. Our whole family recommends Apres Party and Tent Rental for hassle-free rentals, terrific taste, and ever pleasant service.
We rented beautiful lanterns for our winter wedding from Apres for the centerpieces, aisle decorations, and staircase decorations. Absolutely beautiful!!! Great quality, size, and ...
price! Very easy company to work with, and stunning showroom!
We worked with Andrea at Apres for our wedding rentals. Our wedding was at a private residence, so we basically built the ceremony, cocktail and reception areas from the ground up ...
with her. From tents to chairs to tables to tablecloths to bars and everything in between! They have an amazing selection of anything you could want and help lay everything out so you can see what it will look like on the big day. The delivery and setup processes were painless for us. Great experience!
Working with Karla at Apres was a breeze! They decorated our event with cafe lights, and it completely changed the look of the room and added to the ambiance. They also delivered o...
ur tables and chairs without me even noticing. It was so nice to not even have to worry about the logistics on my wedding day. I highly recommend Apres for any event or wedding.
Katiee and everyone at Apres party and tent rental was amazing to work with. They helped me bring my vision for my DIY wedding venue to life! I couldn't have done it without all th...
e suggestions, help, and design ideas from them. Their prices were fantastic and the reception looked incredible when we walked in. It was EXACTLY how I pictured it would be. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Apres party and tent rental to any bride for her rental necessities.
We only rented ceremony chairs from Apres (we initially ordered a tent too and were thinking about a space heater, but the weather was awesome so we cancelled those 3 days prior an...
d got a 50% refund - which seems fair), and I wasn't there when the chairs were delivered and set up, but from what I hear it was a pretty quick and easy process. The chairs were very cute and classy and I think that the overall look was very nice. The only thing that was a little tricky is using their website. But that was a small thing. The sales person that we worked with was wonderful though, and she really understood what we were going for. I have never worked with this sort of a company before (party rentals), but given my lack of experience, I would still recommend them.
What I really liked about Apres was that they knew my venue well, and were able to think outside the box. We had both ceremony and reception there, so we had to come up with a lay...
out that wouldn't take forever to change over in half an hour, so Katiee sat with us to come up with the best option. Once they sent a quote they were able to make the changes we requested, since it came out to a lot more than expected. We trimmed it down to just tables and chairs, and found it was just as low to buy linens as it was to rent from Apres. They were a little later in setting up than mentioned, which didn't cause a huge issue, but with everything else going on that day, it was distracting to have to call and find out the status. Otherwise set up and take down went very smoothly with their team, though, and they were super fast! I'm not sure if they were the cheapest option, but certainly worked for our purposes!
I had so much fun picking out furniture and linens at this place! They made what could have been an incredibly overwhelming process really easy. Everything was so beautiful at th...
e wedding venue. I could not have been any happier!
We worked with Katiee and we had a last minute venue change due to flooding. They were so flexible and helpful when we needed to make changes and accommodate different tables, ceil...

Thank you thank you thank you!!!
We had Apres do our cafe lighting at the McNamara Alumni Center. They were the best value around which was why we chose them. They sent a photo ahead of time so we were both on t...
he same page as to what was expected. They were easy to deal with and I didn't have to do much with them to get what was needed. The day of the event it went off perfectly. The lighting was hung as expected, it looked beautiful and there were no issues.
I would recommend these guys, the price is right and they do a good job with little effort on your part.
I set an appointment to look at linens and the person who my appointment with was not there (she had went out to lunch instead), so they had me meet with someone else who was avail...
able. I thought she was fine at first but I had to remind her multiple times to send me an estimate and remind her multiple times which linen I wanted the estimate for. I should have walked away at that point. On the day of the wedding - they sent the WRONG linens! I was not a part of the set-up so I had no idea until I walked into the reception room for the reception. Luckily - the linens that they sent DID work with my winter wonderland theme and were high quality. I emailed the vendor when I got back from my honeymoon letting them know their error, and a week later I had to call as I was still waiting on a refund (for a previous overpayment). I was really surprised that they didn't even try to call me when I emailed them letting them know of their error. It wasn't until I called looking for my refund that she apologized. I did not get any money back for their error. Overall, they didn't seem to care at all about my wedding or their mistake. The linens that they sent over were on time and were high quality, but still WRONG. Based on the horrible service and wrong linens, I just would not recommend Apres to anyone.
I worked with Katiee from Apres and she was terrific. Not only did she help me decide on a design for my reception, but she also lended a hand on other wedding planning aspects (fl...
owers, videographer, etc). She was honest with me about what items I could save money on and I appreciated her help every step of the way. In the end, the reception looked just how I envisioned it and Katiee was an integral part in that.
