Great service, very easy to work with. Incredible price point for the quality of the rented pieces. Made our wedding unique and would love to work with them in the future for other events!
I wish I was having another event so I could hire Lauren and her team all over again. Working with Modernly was one of the best decisions of my wedding day! They are awesome and created such a gorgeous display for us and were so easy to work with!
My husband and I hired Modernly Events for our wedding and they did not disappoint! They truly executed our wedding day dream decor! Everything turned out exactly as we envisioned. All of our guests loved the champagne drink wall. I have to say, my favorite was the decor in front of our sweetheart table. I would 10/10 recommend modernly events for any future events! They were great to work with!
Modernly Events helped make our wedding feel THAT much more special. Truly we did not know what we wanted for decor going into this process -- we felt like we needed a "theme" and/or a color palette to tie things together, but we didn't know where to start. We are fans of mid-century modern design, so when we found Modernly it was a match made in heaven! Because we needed help defining what we wanted, Aimee was willing to work with us on a "design guide" where she would suggest a color palette, design elements, and any customizations based on our desires. She was able to pull out our visions, and it was really the final touch we needed to make everything feel cohesive. So many of our guests commented on the colors feeling very "us", and on the "small details" that wouldn't have happened without her. We did need to follow up with her on a few occasions for a more timely response before we signed our contract, but after signing, things were really smooth, communication was really quick, and she was great to work with.
Modernly Events shocked and awed our wedding guests. We were blown away by how elevated the furniture rentals and the large signage the Modernly Events team provided. Our wedding would not have been as beautiful without their customized installations. It added a lot of character and charm to truly make the wedding space feel like "ours". They were professional, communicative and over-delivered in all aspects. We are so grateful for Modernly Events!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
We used Modernly to rent the Savoy bar for our wedding - this was a show stopping piece! It was large enough to easily accommodate 3 bars worth of capacity for our bartenders and our guests loved it!
The space we got married in was large to fill and this piece really did the trick to make a statement.
I worked with Aimee to organize this rental and she was thorough from beginning to end. Prompt in response times and answering any questions we had. They were proactive in communicating delivery and pick up times and the whole process was seamless.
Would 200% use this company again for future events!
No matter what extra detail or item you may need for your wedding, Modernly has it! After meeting with Aimee and touring their inventory, I was in trouble because everything was so beautiful/ exactly what I wanted! She put together a proposal for me, and after a couple months of deciding based on budget, Aimee took the time to personally help me edit the proposal to take off some items but have exactly what we need to make our wedding perfect. I cannot thank her enough for caring to help make it happen for us! We rented a lounge furniture set with couches, chairs, side tables, and pillows for the garden area of our venue and it was so beautiful. It was a staple piece for photos, and the overall look of the style. Thank you Modernly for being so easy to work with, efficient with drop off and pick up, and reasonably priced!
our venue came with basics, but we really wanted to zhush it up a bit and make it feel more like our style. modernly's rentals were totally our vibe and working with aimee was a treat. i felt kind of overwhelmed with trying to decide where to put what/how to style it, so we just left it in her extremely capable hands and she + her team made everything look amazing. she also took care of our linens through a different vendor, which was super seamless as well. 10000% recommend partnering with modernly to level up the design of your day!!
We rented chairs, chargers and lights from Modernly and all were fantastic. Aimee is great to work with, and helped us formulate some of our vision with the pieces we used. She also was able to order linens for us so that was off our plate. Loved working with Modernly!
Modernly Events is a fantastic company to work with, and they've got a stock of gorgeous rentals to meet any needs. Their furniture is unlike anything else you can find in our area - unique, fresh, and very stylish.
Their creative backdrop solutions and constantly updated inventory makes it exciting to work with them every time. Plus, Aimee and her team are some of the most down to earth, kind people in this industry. Hire them!
What a wonderful company! Choosing Modernly was a no-brainer for us, as we'd been admiring their work in the Detroit area for a while, especially at the venue we chose for our reception (the Jam Handy.) Aimee was a dream to work with, incredibly professional and friendly, always quick to respond! She graciously worked around our out-of-towner schedule and came to see the venue in person to qualm any of my fears about day-of planning. I'd highly recommend going with Modernly if you want peace of mind that your vision will come to fruition!
Vendor here. I've worked with Aimee in the past and each time has been an amazing experience from beginning stages of planning the event to day of setup and take down. Highly recommend working with Modernly Events (Aimee) for wedding day rentals, totally worth it.
Modernly Events is another caliber of rental company! Aimee is incredibly kind and accommodating -- we've had the pleasure of working with her and her team on multiple client events and it always runs smoothly. Their pieces are pristine (seriously, it looks like no one has ever sat on their furniture before!) and the service is next level. As event industry professionals, we cannot recommend Modernly enough!!
We used Modernly Events to rent disco balls above our dance floor. I reached out a year ago with an inspiration pic and Amiee got back to me quickly. Scheduling and payments were also quick and easy to complete! They were also able to attach greenery I provided above them to complete the look I was going for. Overall, Modernly was great to work with!
I saw one of Modernly's disco ball ceiling installations on Instagram and immediately knew I had to have one for my wedding. It became a central theme for it. Aimee was easy to work with and made recommendations for the disco ball sizes and the overall size of the ceiling installation based on her experiences at the venue. The process was incredibly easy and she worked directly with our florist so they could attach the greenery, making everything a lot easier on us. The installation itself was perfect and exactly what we were going for. Not to mention it made for AMAZING photos. If you're thinking about disco balls, DO IT and go with Modernly.
We had an amazing time working with Modernly for our wedding celebration in April 2022. The pieces we rented from them (dining chairs and lounge furniture) really brought our space to life. We originally booked some of their rentals for a date in October 2020, and the Modernly team seamlessly worked with us as we navigated a few pandemic-related postponements and venue changes. The pieces we rented were so unique, and Aimee was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We couldn't recommend Modernly more highly!
Aimee and the Modernly team were so amazing. I rented a few things last minute and she was so accomodating and helpful. Her team installed the coolest disco ball cluster over my dance floor and it was my dream come true! I even had to add a last minute rental like a day before my wedding and she responded right away and added it on. So greatful for Modernly Events!
We highly recommend working with Modernly Events (Aimee) for wedding day rentals. She has such a wonderful collection of furniture to choose from which can help suit many different styles. She helped provide us with tables and white chiffon runners, as well as a luxurious velvet couch, chairs and coffee table for an amazing modern yet trendy lounge area for our guests. She was great with communication and recommendations based on our wedding size/guest count. She was flexible in working with us from start to finish as we came closer to the date and realized we didn’t need as many guest tables due to RSVPs. It was wonderful working with her to help execute the aesthetic and vibe we were looking for for our amazing wedding day.
Aimee was a joy to work with. She captured our personalities perfectly in the design of our reception and brought it to life flawlessly. We were stress free throughout the process thanks to her demeanor and expertise.
In addition to her design work, the rentals were of course perfect. She had everything we needed to get the exact look that we wanted and make the space come to live.
We feel so grateful to have been able to work with her during this process! If you choose to work with her, you will not be disappointed.
I searched everywhere in the Metro Detroit area for the exact chuppah I was looking for (minimalist and made of brass), and Modernly was the only company that carried it. Needless to say, I was so thrilled to find them! Their prices are great. Aimee was so pleasant to work with - she made everything so easy. In addition to the chuppah, we also needed a partition to section off part of our room. Aimee and her team custom painted it to match the colors of our wedding - which was such a lovely touch! I would 100% recommend Modernly for your wedding!
Aimee and her team were amazing to work with from start to finish. Anytime I had questions along the way, she was very communicative and helpful. Our day of setup/ tear down was flawless too!
Aimee was amazing! Every step of working with her was easy. From online payment links to order adjustments, quick and helpful responses were a given. Not to mention, all of the furniture pieces were in great condition and brought a personal touch to our day. Definitely give Modernly Events your business.
I could not be happier with the decision to hire Aimee. She is a true artist. I gave her little to no direction since we didn't have a color pallet, but she just got our style and has an incredible inventory. She made my literal DREAMS COME TRUE by having floating candles from the ceiling of our venue just like the Great Hall in Hogwarts. I mean who pulls that off?!
We had a very unique and specific vision for our wedding decorations and needed some rental pieces to supplement that. After looking through the catalogues of some of the big rental companies, we were disappointed with how dated and traditional all of the offerings were. Thank goodness we found Modernly! Aimee built us two incredible custom wood pieces for behind the sweetheart table and provided several other rental pieces, ranging from sofas to disco balls. Everything looked absolutely perfect! Additionally, I changed and added pieces several times during planning and Aimee was always gracious and responsive when I did.
Overall, highly recommend hiring Modernly for your rental needs!
If you are looking for some unique pieces to add to your event Modernly Events has you covered! I was planning a modern wedding and was having trouble finding some accent pieces to bring it all together. I stumbled upon Modernly Events website and knew I had found the right place. I rented a few side tables as well as some furniture for guests to use and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Modernly Events allowed us to give our guests a place to relax and socialize while contributing to the modern look we were going for. Aimee was so kind and very responsive to any questions I had. I would highly recommend Aimee and her team to make your day special.
We used a couple of rental items from modernly for our wedding and they turned out great and were exactly as pictured! We did change our minds a few times throughout the process on what we wanted for the wedding and Aimee was so helpful, responsive and was so easy to work with! I highly recommend if you are looking into for rental for any event!
Aimee is absolutely the BEST! She is talented and creative and has fantastic taste! She is also incredibly easy going and so easy to work with. Whether renting furniture or smaller items, or in need of design work, Aimee has and does it all...She is great at pulling together other vendors, designing and printing programs and place cards and the work is professional every step of the way. Aimee understood my daughter's vision and was able to execute every single aspect of it. She was also sensitive and respectful when it came to budget discussions. We loved our experience and would highly recommend Modernly Events!!!
Aimee is so incredible at what she does! She brings a calm, creative energy into her work, and it makes the wedding planning process fun and exciting. I looked forward to every phone call, every in-person meeting, every text, because I knew she was bringing my vision to life. Her rentals are absolutely stunning and pristine, and she has so much to offer each client no matter what their vision is. I loved working with Aimee, and I recommend her and Modernly Events without reservation.
Working with Aimee was a dream. My (now) husband and I don't live in Detroit so we knew we would need a planner/designer to help us pull off our wedding at the Jam Handy. I stalked Aimee online and absolutely fell in love with her style. She is a true artist. We told her we wanted a "gothic, industrial, Burning Man, disco" vibe and SHE PULLED IT OFF! The wedding was beautiful and having Aimee's expertise and help made it significantly less stressful on us. We couldn't be happier!
Aimee was amazing!! She was easy to work with and she completely understood my vision. With the venue we chose we were basically working with a blank canvas which was overwhelming at first but Aimee was SO helpful in finding vendors and making selections. Also, her rentals are fantastic. She has such an amazing eye for vintage (and new) furniture and accessories. I was absolutely stunned when I saw what she did with our reception venue. It was PERFECT. I highly recommend booking Modernly Events for your wedding or event!
We were so happy with our rentals from Aimee! They fit our look exactly - very high quality too. Rentals were delivered promptly and set up exactly how we planned. Aimee was amazing to work with and always responded quickly when I had (many) questions. Thank you, Aimee!
Aimee has the most eclectic, beautiful collection of Mid-century furniture available! She has a fantastic eye for design and her expertly curated pieces make your event feel unique and timeless. Modernly is the best!
I rented rugs and candle sticks from Modernly Events for our big day. They helped set the tone for our rooftop urban wedding. Super easy to work with and great on your budget!
We absolutely loved working with Aimee and were so happy with how our event design turned out. We started working with her a year before our wedding, and every step of the way she was thoughtful, considerate of our budget, and really took the time to get to know us and create a design that suited our tastes and personality as a couple. She was also incredibly flexible and patient as things like guest count and floor plan changed in the months leading up to the wedding. Aimee is very talented, creative, and well-connected, and in addition to design services, has beautiful rental items that really pulled our reception hall together. We received nothing but compliments from our guests, and couldn't be more pleased!
Modernly Events is a gem! I worked with them for rentals, and they not only had the best selection of unique pieces in the area, they were also full service with set-up and tear down. I pieced together rentals from various vendors for my outdoor wedding, and they were the only company that had that level of service. Aimee also helped me pick the right pieces and wrap my head around how they would work in the space. She has a great eye, and is so creative! I'd highly recommend working with her for rentals, event design, or both.
Working with Aimee at Modernly was a breeze!! She was friendly, responsive, flexible & reliable. Everything you need when you’re working with vendors while planning a wedding. The chuppah & hurricanes we rented looked perfect; every bit as beautiful in person! I would definitely recommend Modernly & rent from them again!
TLDR: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MODERNLY EVENTS TO ANY BRIDE & GROOM!
Since sitting down with Aimee the first time we met I said to her, “you’re in my head”. From then on and throughout the planning process she was the best design guide, most flexible and patient vision creator, and warm personality to work with. Aimee SHOWED UP with the amazing execution of what was in my brain and transformed the Whiskey Factory into my reception dream come true. Still getting compliments weeks later.
I found Modernly Events because I was sick of what most rental companies in Michigan have to offer - outdated and boring design + Pinterest basic-ness. Not into it. Very hard to find such a curated collection and hardworking team to back it up.
Thank you so much, Aimee & team!
Aimee at Modernly did such a great job bringing our vision to life. She has an incredible rental collection and her pieces fit into our wedding theme perfectly. She was also super accommodating when I fell in love with one of her custom installations less than a month before the event and let my modify my order to go with that instead of a ceremony arch I had rented. I also loved that she posted some install photos on the day-of so I could get excited seeing everything come to life. It was perfect!!
The entire crew at Modernly is great to work with! They go above and beyond to create your vision, even if it is not traditional. I highly recommend working with Modernly Events!
Aimee was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. She was proactive in coming up with creative solutions to fit my budget, and was always helpful and responsive despite my seemingly endless questions and modifications. When my wedding venue canceled 10 days out (!!), Aimee went above and beyond to provide assistance (and moral support!), and worked quickly and seamlessly with my new venue to execute an absolutely perfect setup in a short amount of time with very little direction from me. I can't thank Aimee enough for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!
We worked with Aimee for our June 1 wedding in Lexington, Michigan and had a wonderful experience! We rented our chairs, a decorative table, candlesticks, and a custom backdrop from Aimee. Every step of the way, Aimee was friendly, helpful, and full of creative ideas. We met with her and she had an amazing plan for our custom backdrop that we loved right away. On the day of the event, they traveled over an hour for delivery and set up and everything was perfect. Aimee was instrumental in the success of our wedding and bringing our vision to life. We highly recommend Aimee for unique rentals, creative custom design, and awesome customer service!
Aimee blew us away with everything she did to make our wedding vision come alive! From the moment I saw pictures of her work on Instagram I knew I wanted her for my big day. After just one meeting and sending a couple inspiration pics, she created a look book for our wedding that nailed the exact look and feel we were going for. We were amazed with the amount of thought and detail she put into every aspect... it was absolutely incredible. She made us feel completely at ease during the entire planning process and coordinated everything from the florist to the calligrapher so we didn’t have to stress about it. Aimee is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and you really can tell that she loves what she does. I highly recommend working with her and know you will not be disappointed!!
Aimee was absolutely amazing. From the start, she is very responsive and easy to get in touch with. We used Aimee's expertise for furniture rentals and DIY, among others. She went above and beyond to help make our vision a reality. She created a beautiful custom alter for our mid-century modern wedding, as well as tons of other DIY decor elements. Additionally she helped finish a bunch of DIY stuff that I didn't have time to do. She is full of great ideas, truly listens to what you want, and makes sure it all comes together in the end. Lastly, Aimee is an absolute delight to work with!
Aimee's customer service was unparalleled, and the vintage chairs we rented from her were the perfect seating AND decoration for the simple ceremony held at a small park in Hamtramck. Although our order from her was relatively small, I never felt like we were anything less than top priority. She also offered guidance and recommendations for other aspects of planning. Aimee and Modernly Events were a huge asset in the coolest day of my life. Highly recommended!
