I would give 0 stars if possible. Gail who I worked with is an unorganized mess who can’t take responsibility or accountability for the mistakes she makes. I ordered my rentals for my DIY backyard wedding (tables chairs linens and some cake sta...nds/bar ware) to arrive the morning/afternoon before my wedding (10-2 window). When I asked for a specific delivery time, Gail told me that if I needed a specific time there would be an extra charge— otherwise it gets delivered on 9/11 between 10 and 2pm. I agreed to the time window and cleared my day of wedding preparations to set up the rentals and backyard. At 10:30 1 truck comes with 1 table, a few chairs, and a cake stand. The driver is an absolute moron and won’t communicate about the worried and confused look on his face despite me asking what was wrong several times. He finally tells my husband and I that the remainder of the rentals are on a SECOND truck (meanwhile these trucks can fit rentals for weddings up to 1000 people they’re enormous) that’s in New Jersey and will be here before 2pm.
Well 3pm rolls around and I call Gail (my only sales contact at Broadway) and she tells me “Oh the caterer didn’t tell you? He said we can deliver the remainder of the items tomorrow!” 1) why are you calling my caterer and making decisions about my wedding with the company who handles the food. 2) why didn’t you communicate with me this FUCK UP instead of trying to slither behind my back and make sure the late arrival isn’t going to mess up the caterer the following day? 3) why didn’t you call me at 10:30 am when 80% of our rentals were missing from the first truck? Why was I left in the dark until 3pm when the order was an hour late already? Would I have sat there all night waiting for something to never arrive?
Long story short: I refused to accept Gail and Broadway’s incompetency and made them deliver to me on the day they promised. She then told me the new window would be 6-7pm and the delivery came just shy of 10pm. And the best part, they were on the way and I just confirmed for shits and giggles the items that were on the truck...and they weren’t on the truck. They had to literally turn around and go get the missing items from our rental order.
A complete HOT mess. Disgusting service, I hope nobody uses their service. Meanwhile, I’m an experienced restaurant manager so when speaking to Gail I used managerial problem solving language and simply asked her why I must chase her down to clean up her company’s mess and the best she could do was call me mean and a bridezilla (???), blame her warehouse staff, and take 0 responsibility for her gigantic mistake that cost me my entire day of wedding prep.
I would literally not wish this level of chaos and disgrace on anyone getting married. The funniest part of all of this: she called me a “bridezilla” for getting upset at her mistake and my wedding was a DIY, handmade, produced from scratch, humble and intimate backyard gathering. We built everything ourselves and had an amazing peaceful experience bonding with everyone who contributed to helping us make a little slice of normalcy during a chaotic time. I wasn’t bugging out because there was a slight color discrepancy or scratch on my rentals—they literally were not at the wedding hours before the wedding. But sure...I’ll take bridezilla because Bridezilla refused to accept anything less than 20% off my invoice.
Good RIDDANCE Broadway Party Rentals! Never again!
Love, Bridezilla
