Distressed | Rentals & Revival

We used Distressed Rentals for a wedding at Marigny Opera House, and they were fantastic! The furniture was really well taken care of and beautiful. Extremely easy and kind customer service, especially for DIY wedding planners like us (thank you, Ciara!). Their load-in and load-out service for the “flip” was extremely professional. Highly recommend!

We worked with Distressed Rentals to utilize some of their gorgeous furniture pieces for our wedding day at the Hotel Peter and Paul! We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to use for the day of, and we were so relieved to know how organized this team is! You can tell that they are a serious operation that executes every event with precision and with the help of a super hardworking team! Ciara was super quick to reply literally EVERY time we e-mailed her, which we appreciated so much! We asked for a few recommendations leading up to the event, and she was able to help guide us as well as make recommendations on better pieces to use for specific areas like our sweetheart table. We were also SO relieved to know that the pieces look exactly like (or even better) in real life than they do on the website! haha. We never had a chance to go see the pieces in person, and that did not matter one bit. This was one of those vendors that we felt we just didn't have to "worry" about! We hired them, selected our pieces, and it was just like... "they've got this!" It was truly a pleasure, and their pieces added such a high-end and magical feel to our day. Thank you!

Distressed was great to work with from the beginning and had an amazing inventory of rental pieces to choose from! We loved the pieces we chose and they brought our wedding vision to life. Definitely recommend Distressed Rentals & Revival!

AMAZING! They have the most beautiful pieces - Leslie and Ciara were super easy to work with. We didn't need much for our wedding as the venue offered a lot. We chose to rent some gorgeous wooden tables and they were absolutely perfect. Last minute I needed to rent extra chairs and they helped me tremendously. Also you can't beat their prices. Highly recommend!

We used Distressed for our furniture rentals for our wedding in New Orleans. We primarily worked with Ciara H. throughout the process and she was WONDERFUL to work with. She was extremely responsive and organized. We visited the warehouse a couple of times prior to our wedding day to look at furniture options. Each time we visited, Ciara took the time to walk around with us and talk to us about our furniture options. We ended up swapping some of our pieces out for others and Ciara immediately sent us updated floorplans. On the day of, our furniture was delivered and looked beautiful at our venue. We would highly recommend using Distressed for your event!

We can't recommend Distressed enough! Ciara and Audra were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish and we were so impressed with how their beautiful furniture and designs truly lit up our wedding venue. Thank you so much for making our wedding day and space feel so amazing!

Put together the chicest lounge area for us! I want the furniture we used for my own house!!

Just amazing- distressed rentals has every piece of furniture you could ever dream of! They will make your vision come to life :-) they truly elevated the indoor space at our wedding! We loved working with them and would highly recommend renting their incredible pieces!

Working with the team at Distressed was such a breeze! My husband and I decided to get married in our parents back yard with a small group of family and friends. I had a lot of ideas for the design, but needed help nailing down which pieces would be best. Ciara was so patient and extremely helpful in helping me create a plan that would work for our back yard. Day of delivery and pick up was so easy! Leslie was so sweet and helped me make a few last minute adjustments to our layout. I was definitely nervous doing this myself without much help from a planner, but the team at Distressed made it stress free and totally doable! We ended up having a larger wedding in January, but this day was so special and so much to plan with the help of Distressed.

Distressed rentals was the perfect choice for our wedding! After some major changes of plans, I reached out later than I would have liked to see about rentals for a small elopement style wedding. The team at distressed was so helpful and accommodating. Everything turned out perfectly for my special day and the setup was fantastic. We rented a small bar and seating for our guests. We loved the look of both. Delivery was a breeze! Can say enough about this awesome team and their communication leading up to our wedding!

The team at Distressed went above and beyond to help make our client's Mom's surprise brunch birthday picnic a huge success. They provided so many pretty ottomans and tables and plush throw pillows to make for the picture perfect table scape. The delivery and pick up was very professional and during the delivery they assisted with any small tweaks that the rentals may have needed. I highly recommend working with these professionals.

While the pieces came together beautifully for my wedding, and DRR was one vendor I knew I would not have to worry about in terms of professionalism, logistics, being on time, etc., I was surprised by how they conducted their business under the circumstances of the current pandemic. As a vendor in the wedding industry, I felt that they were the least accommodating and least personable when it came to flexibility, working with you, wanting to help and serve, extensions of kindness, etc. while planning an event so impacted by the pandemic. Examples of this include insisting on their usual unrefundable deposit of 50% despite the bride not even knowing if her wedding could end up taking place or not (with so little events happening and their pieces being available, I wish we could have reached an agreement about a 30% deposit, or flexibility with refundability if the wedding could not take place due to restrictions in place at the time), being inflexible with the deposit when the event had to be downsized and the amount of furniture originally projected was no longer needed, and finally, continuously following up on a <$15 balance the week leading up to the wedding. I am so thankful for being able to have had my wedding, but as a bride that planned during 2020, there are noticeable differences you see between your vendors - the ones that are there for you, struggling with the current crisis yet working with you and doing everything they can to find mutually beneficial solutions, and those that are so bottom-line oriented that the human element is secondary, and graciousness is not given. DRR has expertise, beautiful pieces, and is professional, however their response to brides during the hardest year of wedding planning could be improved.

Be aware that this gal thinks she’s slick and will not refund your money even if the world came to an end. She has a “framework “ in her contract that protects her so she can keep your money. . We lost about 75 percent of our money and I would NOT recommend her to my worst enemy. She kept her furniture in her warehouse and charged us anyway even thought the April w edding was cancelled due to the pandemic How’s that for Southern Hospitality? More like Southern Hostility if you ask me.

We really felt like the lounge area from Distressed MADE our space! It completely transformed our reception space and gave guests a comfortable place to prop up their feet before returning to the dance floor. The ladies at Distressed were a dream to work with and were able to execute the exact lounge we wanted in a very short time frame. They are professional, responsive, and have a fantastic eye for design!

Our experience with Distressed Rentals was amazing! Planning a wedding from afar is never easy but these ladies made communication a breeze. I changed my mind a few times on things and they were easily accommodating. I can't say enough great things, our outcome was beautiful!!

Our experience with Distressed Rentals was awesome! Our soft seating area was set up absolutely perfectly with the most beautiful furniture! The team was easy to work with and they had great communication. We would definitely use them again!

Distressed provided all of the soft seating for our wedding reception lounge and our guests were blown away! They have a beautiful collection of furniture and made it fast and easy to work with them to select the pieces we wanted. Delivery and the "flip" (from the ceremony to the reception) went as smooth as possible, and our guests are still talking about how cool it was to have the lounge throughout the reception.

The DR staff was GREAT to work with they were professional and timely in their communication! They provided an absolutely stunning extended outdoor lounge and bar set-up for our non -profit , The Beautiful Foundation's , gala! Outside of a great eye for design they have a great heart for community and giving back. We look forward to working with them in the future. Thanks Audra and Ciara for helping us create a memorable night for our girls and supporters! Everything was BEAUTIFUL!

Working with distressed was an absolute breeze! They took care of us from the first email all the way through our big day. Our lounges were beautiful and we are still getting compliments from our guests.

How we produced a huge wedding in 3 days? Teamwork and Distresses Rentals was there for us. Thanks for the quick turn around and great communication. Love your inventory, made our bride and groom fabulously happy!

This furniture made the room! Audra helped me add just the right amount of color to the ballroom to give it a more modern twist that I was going for! It came out beautiful and she was so easy to work with!

Can't agree more with the previous reviews - Audra and Ciara were both so great to work with!! They were able to recommend items that I wasn't originally interested in but were in fact a much better fit to my needs. Even though my order wasn't massive, they still were extremely attentive and were quick to respond to any questions I had (which was really great as I felt like I didn't receive the same respect at my florist). Highly recommend!!!

Distressed Rentals was such a pleasure to work with! I gave them a quick rundown of my vision and they were able to put together beautiful pieces that complemented our venue and our layout. Their inventory is absolutely stunning and without knowing very many details they were able to bring our vision to life! If you are in New Orleans or the surrounding area, I would highly recommend for any of your furniture needs.

Great team to work with. Distressed took time to listen to our vision and made suggestions to give us a complete design that we were pleased with on our wedding day. Thanks to Audra and team for easing wedding stress and wowing our guests. We would recommend Distressed Rentals to everyone.

Super easy to work with - the nicest people. Our lounge package for my daughter’s wedding in June was exactly what we wanted. Cool and comfy. The cake tables were beautiful and made the pictures even more gorgeous. We also had a stylish bar that totally dressed up a room that needed a little extra. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Our daughter's wedding was in August. We thought heat wave! We left all the details to her (since she lives in New Orleans and we do not) and the team at Distressed Rentals. What a gorgeous layout they designed. The tables, bars and seating areas they brought in for the reception were stunning. Last minute worries about enough tables for the guests was handled by Audra and they added more tables outside without a worry. The weather was glorious and with all the indoor and outdoor seating we could move around and enjoy the music inside and the atmosphere outside. Would not change a thing. The colors were beautiful and loved the layout and the exquisite seating.

Once you meet with Audra, you instantly feel that your dream wedding is about to come to life! She listened to what our vision was and takes the time to help pick out the pieces that fit exactly what you’re looking for! We had a styled lounge in front of the fireplace at Il Mercato and our guests absolutely loved the space. I can’t thank the distressed rentals team enough!

Audra has got a fantastic eye for design!!! She styled three lounges for our wedding in May and I left the design entirely up to her. She picked such cool and unique furniture peices to use that really went with the overall vibe of our wedding, and our friends and family absolutely loved the lounges! There were definitely guests who staked out their spot on the couches and wouldn't move, haha. Having the lounge furniture there really helped to make our wedding as relaxed and fun as it was. It was just perfect!! I couldn't have asked for anything better, and Audra was (of course) incredible to work with throughout the entire process. Her crew is incredible as well! <3 We love you Distressed Rentals!!!

Finding the perfect place to rent all we needed for our wedding day was extremely difficult until I found Distressed. I really wanted to book someone who had all we needed, and other companies couldn’t compare. We were able to browse everything online (thank goodness!), book seamlessly and I never had to worry about a thing on my wedding day. Audra was extremely sweet and easy going, which helped ease my stress throughout the process. Plus, all of the items we rented were absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend!

Customer Service is 5-star!! Beautiful selections and quality is tops!! The staff is so helpful in picking out the best rentals for your event and vision. The website is updated and user-friendly. Payment of invoices and contracts are easy. We were able to view the actual tables and chairs before renting. We made an appointment and was able to browse the storeroom for just the right pieces. The wedding was beautiful with the vintage and one of a kind rentals. I never had to worry about this vendor showing up or placing the rentals in the wrong place. They are very knowledgeable and friendly!! In planning a wedding this was the best vendor of several that had the best customer service!! We wish them the best of luck and growth in business. Words are not enough to explain how nice it was to have at least one vendor make my day stress free.

It was such a pleasure to work with Audra! I was most stressed about rentals and she instantly calmed my stress. She answered all of my questions and helped me articulate my vision! I honestly couldn't have done it without her! Thank you, Audra!!!!!

This is an amazing family of a business. I use the word family because they were so close knit in ensuring every aspect of my rentals were perfect. I would highly recommend audra for her passion for her job alone and how well she creates the perfect space for your event.

Audra and Distressed Rentals opened up their warehouse for us to pick and choose the best pieces for our wedding. She gave her expertise and guided us through the process while sharing new pieces as they came in. Great experience and we are so thankful for her help in making our wedding dreams come true!

A great place for amazing rentals!! If you are looking for an old school feel but you don't want to feel like its old and going to fall apart, contact Distressed Rentals!!! They are amazing.

I searched and high and low to get the right tables for my geometric/mid century wedding. The ghost chairs and industrial tables were a perfect fit and really brought the whole look together. I worked with Audra from start to finish...she was super easy to work with, responsive, and I didn't have to worry about the rentals at all.

Distressed rentals really made my event unique! My guests couldn't stop talking about the bar/barcart setup and the lounges looked so cozy and comfy. Audra really helped me pick out pieces that would go with my overall vision. Definitely worth hiring this vendor.

Audra and her team are fantastic. They went so far above and beyond what was expected. I just love all of their gorgeous pieces and the only down side to using them is having to let them go back to her. I would gladly recommend Distressed Rentals and Revivals and I will most definitely use their services again.

Audra was wonderful to work with - she was responsive and had a great selection to choose from. The distressed farm tables, chairs and cake platters I chose fit my wedding vision perfectly. I highly recommend working with her. Thank you, Audra!

Audra was so fantastic to work with! We knew we could trust her to decorate our venue perfectly - and she did just that! She asked all the right questions to really understand the vibe we wanted to go for and she took the rest from there. She truly embodied our style and personalities and made our venue look INCREDIBLE. Not only did she do a great job decorating, but was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone awesome to decorate their event and have some really unique furniture pieces!

Probably one of the easiest vendors to work with and the seating arrangements were absolutely beautiful. She worked with my budget and was very quick to respond to all my questions. Thanks so much Audra! You really helped my vision come to life.

Distressed|Rentals & Revival exceeded my expectations when working together in February 2016. I am an event planner based in Charleston, SC. I contacted Audra when planning for my own (destination) wedding to take place in New Orleans. I found her company by searching hashtags on Instagram and I still follow Distressed|Rentals on Instagram. I am continuously impressed with the creative use and quality of items that Audra has available in her inventory. I particularly love the mixed wooden chair collection. It was the perfect touch for our wedding at the Beauregard-Keyes House. I also appreciate the customer service that Audra provides. Rentals are a necessary investment for every event. Commercial rentals are available, but vintage rentals can help to add more character and personality to the setting. You can maximize your event design by mixing the two rental mediums together. I found Audra was willing to connect more personally than any other purveyor in the New Orleans area. She helped me to see beyond the one-dimensional images and bring my wedding vision to life. Both as a planner and a bride, I would highly recommend working with Distressed|Rentals & Revival for your next event.

Audra everything was perfect!! Anyone planning a wedding this is the best way to go. Everything was decorated just as my daughter, Samantha envisioned and all we had to do was arrive and no picking up afterwards. The decorations were exquisite. Thanks for helping to make her dream wedding come to fruition.

Audra!!!!!! I have received so many compliments on the styling of my wedding! You did such an amazing job! My husband and I are so greatful that we found you!!! You captured my vision perfectly... As crazy as it sounded on paper it was beautiful, magical, and totally us!!!!

I chose to have Distressed Rentals and revivals for the complete styling and coordination option, and could not have been any happier with the results! Not only was the venue absolutely stunning, but everything was executed perfectly! Audra is a total professional as well as a sweetheart to work with. Great communication, she is on top of it all. As a bride it was so reassuring that she had it all handled, communicating with other vendors and the day of wedding planner. The selection of rentals is also unlike any others I saw in the New Orleans area. A+ A+ A+ I just wish I could have the day back to do it all over again!

Distressed Rentals has great vintage pieces and were very reliable and very responsive and easy to work with. We were able to get some great stand out pieces for various details of our wedding, plus our sweet heart table and some farm tables for various uses. The only downside was the delivery fee, but my wedding was 40 minutes outside the city so not much of a choice. Overall extremely satisfied - highly recommend if you're going for the vintage/rustic look!

Audra and her team at Distressed Rentals are by far THE BEST rental company for unique pieces in all of Louisiana! After searching far and wide, I finally stumbled across Audra's website and could not have been more blessed to do so! Renting the beautiful pieces I did from Audra made my Midsummer's Eve Garden Party come alive in such a magical way! All my guests kept asking my mother where we had found our Bride and Groom chairs (Audra's Edith Chairs) and the bar (Audra's Rose Buffet).The selection process, delivery, and pick up all went smoothly. I wouldn't recommend using anyone else but Audra and her team at Distressed Rentals for your next event!

Great service and really nice furniture.

Audra was a delightful vendor to work with. She got my vision, worked with me on the details, and took care of me. It was nerve racking being a remote bride, but I took a leap of faith and went with Audra because of her personality and willing to go the extra mile. So glad I did! Our vintage details and furniture pulled the whole place together and made for gorgeous photography.

Distressed Rentals made our wedding stress free! I gave Audra an idea of what I was going for and she nailed it! I didn't have to worry or stress over every detail! She's very good at understanding what you want and what you need! I literally walked in the venue and everything was more then I had imagined!

I own a wedding photography business and we have worked with Audra on several wedding and styled shoots. She always has the best inventory and ideas! It never feels like work! You definitely want D| R&R involved on your event!

All of my items were ready by the time of my wedding, with just a few hiccups along the way. Instead of the delivery company arriving at the wedding venue, they came to my house. We redirected them and thankfully there was enough time that it was not a huge issue. The whiskey barrels showed up to the venue missing the rings. My wedding planner noticed it because the appearance was unacceptable. Audra worked hard to fix the mistake, which was comforting! The items for rent are great, just want to make sure they arrive exactly how you envisioned!

I had the opportunity of meeting Audra when she decorated for a wedding here at our facility. She was diligent, persistent, hard working and when she finished everything was beautiful. The items she used were also very nice. I think it is important to say on my end, that she picked up after herself and left everything very clean. We usually don't like to work with outside vendors, but we would welcome her back any day. I would also like to note that she gives 150% and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Audra has an amazing eye for design. She takes her time setting up furniture and other fun features to make sure everything is perfect when the couple and their guests walk in. As a wedding coordinator, I love working with Audra because she is so reliable, takes great care of all of her pieces, and will always add her knack for design to make sure any setting looks perfect. I knew she went the extra mile when she pulled out her "box of flair" to add to a reception lounge that we were setting up, to fill in spaces that looked a little bare. In addition to having a an impressive inventory, Audra has built or crafted many of her pieces. After seeing her farm tables in use at a wedding, I knew I had to have one for my dining room. Audra custom built a gorgeous and personal table for my house and I could not be happier with her craftsmanship. A talented woman and wonderful company to work with. Wish I could give more than five stars!

Our farm hosted a beautiful wedding last Fall, and Distressed Rentals Revival took part in it. The company provided beautiful, rustic tables and benches for the special occasion. Audrey and her companion were very professional, patient and very helpful arranging their equipment before the celebration. You can see some pictures of their cool furniture on our company fb page @ https://www.facebook.com/pearlriverblues
