It’s difficult to sum up my experience with Exeter to a single star rating to due to the fact that there were many items I rented, and various people I dealt with.
First, let me di...
scuss the sales experience. The woman I dealt with made one or more mistakes every single time I made a change. She was not particularly helpful with the table design, though I repeatedly asked her opinion. Then, despite choosing flatware during that visit, she neglected to write it down, and months later she said they didn’t have the flatware available. To be fair, they did purchase additional silverware, but only after I read them the riot act. Overall, I could not rate the sales staff more than three stars. That said, I received exactly what I had ordered.
The tent was another story. I rented a 90’ sailcloth tent and it was magnificent. The install team was first rate and the tent and lighting were perfect.
Lastly, the tables and chairs were not flawless. One chair was broken, but my husband was able to glue and clamp it several days in advance, so it worked out. Also, the rustic farm tables had quite a few chips on the sides. At $100 a table, I’d expect the staff to sand and stain the chips so they blended in a bit. This was a minor issue, and I did receive many complements on the decor, but I would expect a little bit better for the price.
In summary, I highly recommend the company for tent and lighting rental. For all the other items, I‘d hesitate to recommend them. Quite possibly a different salesperson would have made a big difference, but the quality control on the table and chairs was a “B” at best.
Rented just champagne glasses and a sweetheart table. Smooth transaction. quick service.
Not sure that I recommend this company. Products are beautiful, but I have to share this-- they did not notice the glitch that we ordered 85 chairs, but they had written that we on...
ly needed 80 napkins. When they went over our final order on the phone two weeks before the wedding, we noticed and said we needed more napkins to cover all our 85 guests. They said it was too late to order more. To solve it my mom bought a set of nice napkins for just the wedding party table so we just looked a little special. The OTHER thing was that we ordered green table cloths and half of them showed up in peach!! Luckily it worked with the rest of our color scheme so I didn't freak out. (I know another bride might have flipped!) We sort of laughed it off, but I'm not sure how that happened when they packed for us!
Working with them was very easy. Their chairs, tables, and dance floor, great! I have no complains.
Exeter Events and Tents delivered exactly as promised! We needed a large tent, tables, chairs, and linens for a wedding venue which had never had a large tent before. Because we ...
planned to set up the tables and decor ourselves, we needed the tent set up the day before, so we could do all the decorating the day-of. Exeter Events and Tents was able to co-ordinate this with us, having the tent ready for us one day and everything else delivered first thing the next morning, meeting our narrow time constraints. They also were able to meet a time request we had for take-down the day after the wedding.
Half-way through our months of planning, a new Exeter Events and Tents co-ordinator took over our event. While at first I had a moment of mother-of-the-bride/wedding-planner stress about this, the transition was seamless, and our new co-ordinator was completely in-tune with our needs. She provided advice and quick assistance to any question I had, and happily revised our contract countless times.
The wedding was out-of-state from our home, so I was only able to visit the showroom once, and never even met our ultimate co-ordinator. Regardless, she treated me like I was a well-known and valued customer!
Thank you,thank you, Exeter Events and Tents!
I was very happy with Exeter Event & Tents as the tent vendor for my wedding. From the get-go Ashley and her team were so accomodating. The staff that physically put up the tent we...
re fantastic as well. The best part about it all was how beautiful the tent looked. We had a backyard wedding at my parents home in Walpole, MA. The sailcloth tent was gorgeous- it lit up the entire property at night. All of my guests could not stop talking about how beautiful it was. We also had japanese lanterns that were personally placed by Ashley and she did a wonderful job. Ashley is professional, and does not push you to do anything that you don't want to do. She is very knowledgable about spacing for the tent on your property. Highly recommend everyone at EET!
Exeter did the tables, dance floor, lighting and chairs for our wedding. Even though we worked with them to plan where all the tables would be, I did have to pay the caterers to co...
me early and move everything from where Exeter had put it to the actual places we had planned on (they left it all in the tent, just not necessarily in the right places). This was not a surprise the day of, just an additional expense.
We had a bit of a glitch because the chairs actually needed to be set up for the ceremony (about 200 ft away) - Exeter never asked me about the ceremony, so that was an oversight on both our parts.
But the lights were gorgeous, if expensive, and the quality of the linens and tables were great. Exeter was also timely, which is SO important on your wedding day! We met with them twice to discuss options, they were very patient and made all my changes correctly. Just be clear with what you need and they will make it happen.
We rented a sailcloth tent, tables, chairs, dance floor and place settings from Exeter. They worked through Alan's of Boscawen so we dealt with them very little prior to the big da...
y. They set the tent up over our venue's tennis court and it looked so beautiful! Had absolutely no issues with this vendor, they were professional and comparable in price to other companies around the region.
I was overall very happy with Exeter Events & Tents. There staff had a very "can do" attitude when it came to my order, set up time, break down time, etc. They were flexible with w...
hat was on my order up until a couple weeks before my wedding. The one thing that became a small glitch was a promised set up time that ended up being too early for the set up crew to make. It all worked on just fine in the end, and the co. was very good about making their small error correct.
These guys got everything done in the allotted time, which was not much time at all. Nicole Mower was great, answering any questions I had throughout the planning process. She even...
has her own wedding planner business and does day of coordination. She was able to keep it within our budget by letting us know ahead of time what we could realistically get for our money. I was very impressed with the execution of setup at the venue as well.
It's a little pricey because everything is an additional charge. Delivery, set-up, take down, pick up...everything costs extra and it's per item not just a flat rate. Over all good...
just not that budget friendly
this company has flexible hours and friendly staff
Everything was gorgeous-rented the linens and upscale chairs from them-looked great, all was in wonderful shape and once ordered-I didn't have to worry about a thing!
Exeter Events and Tents was such a relief after all the stresses of wedding planning. They were so friendly and genuinely sweet. The prices were less than what I was expecting an...
d they dropped off/picked everything up within a handful of days so we didn't feel rushed. I felt really comfortable in their showroom and comfortable with Jessica, who was very helpful and patient. My wedding was awesome!
I used Exeter Events and Tents for all my wedding rentals. The consultants are very knowledgeable and I found them extremely helpful when it came to deciding what style and size te...
nt I needed. They also created a layout for me which was amazing because it helped me envision my wedding.
The quality of the items are fantastic. I rented Fruitwood Chivari Chairs with White cushions and they were so beautiful! All of my glassware, flatware and dishware were also rented from Exeter and I couldn't have been happier.
