This place is under new ownership and I would strongly NOT RECOMMEND them. We ordered a tent and some tables and chairs for our small, backyard wedding and had 4 MAJOR ISSUES with them.
1. Emailed us 5 days before the wedding asking to change the tent size - Very unprofessional and added unnecessary stress to my wedding.
2. Spray painted our whole yard – When the person came to check for wires, he spray painted our entire yard, up and down, with bright red, orange, and green paint. When I told Harriet’s, they put the blame solely on the company that did that, which is incredibly immature. They are the ones who hire this company and should take full responsibility for what they do.
3. Emailed 3 days before the wedding to tell us they were setting everything up that day – Our contract said one day before the wedding. We certainly did not want our entire backyard unavailable for 3 extra days prior to the wedding. Again, they added unnecessary stress during an otherwise very happy time in our lives.
4. The BIGGEST ISSUE is that they WITHELD INFORMATION from us about the size that we would need for the tent. They only told us the dimensions of the tent but didn’t tell us that they would need many feet on either side as well as 18 inches from any wires. Our original tent size wouldn’t have fit at all. Even with the smaller tent, the new info meant that we could not have the tent where we wanted it. (We could have fit it smack in the middle of the yard but that would have interfered with the ceremony). We ended up simply not using the tent, the weather was lovely, and we had a wonderful wedding, no thanks to them.
When I called them to discuss these issues, they placed blame on others and did not take any responsibility for their mistakes. In conclusion, I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT USING HARRIETS FOR ANY OF YOUR TENT NEEDS.
We used Herriott's to rent our tables and dance floor for our reception. Herriott's was awesome. We told them where we were having the reception, and they made a layout for us. When we saw the dance floor, we realized it was smaller than we had originally thought, and they were quick to make it the size we wanted.
Super easy to work with and professional. Herriott's is a family owned business that makes you feel like family. I would highly recommend them!
Great tents to rent out for any special occasion. I was a guest at my friends wedding and fell in love with the tent she used and she told me it was from Herriot's Rents Tents Events.
I managed to rent all the pieces for my table centerpieces and then got to return everything. It was well worth it! The price was right and I didn't have to find a way to store everything afterward. Will do this again and recommend it to friends/family.
Herriott's certainly isn't a bad rental company to go with, I just wasn't impressed. First, during setup, they brought the wrong chairs. Thank goodness we had them set up 2 days prior to the event so there was still the entire next day for them to fix their mistake. Also, they didn't bring the correct tent supplies, and ended up asking my dad if he had any rope he could use. My dad isn't the one that puts up tents- It's you guys. You should come prepared. After all that, they said we couldn't have a door in the tent, which we were specifically told we could. During set up, Angel, the man in charge of setting it up, said it wasn't possible with this tent. They kept insisting that we sign whatever papers during their setup, but we refused to sign until everything we fixed and it was how we were told it'd be. In the end, the tent looked great, the setup just didn't go very smooth.
Herriott's did an amazing job with all our needs for our backyard reception. We rented two tents as well as tables, bars, chairs, linens, and misc. items. THey came to look at our site before we chose our tents and then were fast and freindly on delivery day. We didn't get a contract from them until 6 weeks out, which made my mom weary, but it all worked out. The only thing is we had to set the tables, chairs, etc. ourselves and that was not fun for me on my wedding day! Otherwise they were fantastic!
We used Herriotts for a mailbox card holder and an archway for our ceremony. Prices were reasonable, staff were great, and they delivered and picked up the archway.
