Planning a wedding from out of state can be overwhelming, but working with Metro made the entire process incredibly easy. From the very beginning, their communication and organizat...
ion gave us complete peace of mind and made planning from afar feel seamless.
On the wedding day, their setup and breakdown crew didn’t miss a beat. They were professional, efficient, and completely on top of every detail. Everything was set up perfectly and taken down just as smoothly, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the day. We’re so grateful for their hard work and would absolutely recommend Metro to anyone looking for a reliable, professional rental team.

Metro Rental gave us a dance floor that felt like a seamless extension of the space — stable, elegant, and safe. The installation and breakdown were smooth, communication ahead of ...
time was excellent, and they were flexible with us adding on coolers for the bar later in the process as well. It allowed us and our guests to dance and celebrate without worry — exactly what we wanted. We also rented chairs with them for a beach ceremony, however Tropical Storm Jerry crashed our wedding so we ultimately did not use them. The quality and finish of the chairs did look nice however, and I'm sure our guests would've been comfortable in them out on the beach. Overall excellent value and service.

g up to the wedding. Equipment drop off and pick up was seamless and everything was great quality. They also did string lighting over the yard at our wedding house and it completely transformed the look and feel - definitely recommend if you are doing a beach house wedding in the Outer Banks! Prices were very reasonable and I enjoyed working with them very much.

Great value and great service! The team was professional and prompt leading up to our event. We used them to outfit our wedding with a tent, tables, linens, chairs and more. It was...
easy and quick to make adjustments to our quote. I was worried about drop off because we were using a rental home and weren't sure how early we could check in. But Metro contacted the property manager and made sure they were all cleared to get in early to set up the tent. The staff called me when they got there to confirm tent placement and when we arrived, everything was accounted for! 11/10 for communication and reliability. We were grateful to trust that the rentals for our wedding were in good hands!

I got married at a state owned and operated facility that only used sustainable products, so no paper or plastic products could be used. Needing plates, utensils, glasses, and othe...
r miscellaneous items, I turned to Metro. I used them because that was recommended during the wedding planning process from my venue. At first, there were a lot of unnecessary charges and items I later found out I didn't need. Hannah and Hope were lifesavers! I had to ask the hard questions to remove fees for delivery, pick-up, drop-off, extra utensils, glasses, and plates. I enjoyed their show room and able to physically touch every piece of rental equipment. I felt uneasy with the pick-up and drop-off process because there was no exchange of names, only products. The gentleman at the wedding expo did not seem like he wanted to be there neither. In the end, everything turned out wonderfully and I saved money by only using their products, not their services.

th us. Metro Rentals were very easy to deal with. We only wish that setup and cleanup of the chairs was included, or at least at a more reasonable price. Overall, it was a good experience.

My wedding got cancelled because of COVID 19 and we were unable to even enter the outer banks. Metro rental did nothing but give me a list if rentals and they refused to give me my...
entire deposit back. Out of $531 they gave us back $340 and even that was a struggle. Me and my family are in a financial loss because vendors like Metro Rental did not have the heart to refund our money because of a pandemic out of our control. I would never recommend doing business with them.

sponsive throughout and gave great feedback regarding what and how much I would need. I made several changes and additions to my order and nothing was forgotten. I even needed to add a few linens on the day of and that was handled with no added hassle for me. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you again Metro Rental!

My husband and I got married two weekends ago at Jennette's Pier and used Metro Rental for our linens, glasses and dance floor for the wedding. This company is absolutely AMAZING! ...
I was very pleased with their excellent customer service and super quick responses to emails. Mandi, in particular, was great to work with and helped make wedding planning for us stress-free. Every item that we rented was exactly as pictured and flawless. I would highly recommend Metro Rental for your next event! :)

eception. Every single person I worked with, from the ladies working in the store front to the gentlemen delivering the rentals, was kind, considerate, helpful, and knowledgeable (with a special shout out to Megan and Mandy)! I would definitely rent from Metro again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to all OBX couples. My only complaint is that their website and brochure are not very descriptive and do not do their products justice, but that detracts nothing from the quality of their service!

Horrible costumer service. They delivered our chairs and tables without telling us they were there. When we called them to tell them they were wrong and would not be using them, th...
ey refused to pick them back up or refund us our money. We spent $400 and did not use any of the items delivered. They had to sit outside the venue the day we got married and were the most horrible things I have ever seen
Response from Metro Rental on 12/19/2016
Hello, we are sad to hear that you were not pleased with our service and that you felt the...
product wasn’t up to par. Please feel free to call the store so we may look up your past contract and better assess the situation.
We offer multiple styles, linen choices, and chair options to fit most themes and budgets. Our banquet tables require some type of linen for they are used at numerous events from the beer fest to the elaborate vineyard wedding and handled differently. Due to the vast area in which Metro Rental services an impromptu pick up or delivery request may not be probable, we cannot guarantee a specific time for delivery or pickup. We want to create a stress fee atmosphere along with a pleasant experience so by request, we will note a time that works best and call our clients prior to delivery or pick up. Otherwise, we will deliver the day prior to the event and pick up the day after at our one day rate during normal business hours to the front, ground level, carport area. We will note a specific request when made in advance and will make every effort to accommodate it or will notify you.
Again, we apologize and hope that you will give us another chance to par take in your next celebration.
