We rented our wedding linens from Select. It started by making an appointment to see the linens in the showroom and creating a tablescape. Samantha was so wonderful and helpful during this process! She allowed me to take my time and bring my ow...
n decor to try out different patterns. She even sent me pictures after I had left to help me decide. Instead of it seeming like a chore I really enjoyed myself! On the day of the wedding, we decided to pick up the linens and there was a small mix-up on the location to pick them up but Select corrected it IMMEDIATELY. Samantha sent us a nice note and it was resolved quickly and professionally. The quality of their linens is top-notch and I highly recommend working with them!

We used Select Event Group for our wedding in Leesburg, VA in June 2023 and were very happy working with them. Samantha was very helpful and thorough during our initial consultation, and she made the whole process very easy working with our pla...

Hi Connor - Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! We're thrilled that your experience with Samantha and our team was excellent and that it helped make your wedding day run smoothly. We so appreciate your recommendation...
and hope to work together again!
We used Select Event Group for a lot of the rentals for our wedding in 12/2022. Some of the things included the tableware, i.e. plates, knives, napkins, glasses, and tablecloths. My wedding planner did most of the coordinating so I can’t commen...

Hi Betsy - Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that our rentals helped bring together the vision for your wedding! Hope to work together in the future.
Any questions?
We absolutely loved the blue water glasses - it was something we wanted to tie in with our very bright and summery coral, peach, raspberry colors and we'd seen it in a bunch of other pictures at our venue Shadow Creek. The only issue we had was...
that there was no flexibility in the late-night pickup fee even for just the water glasses and napkins - surprising even using a caterer that they very regularly work with instead going independently on our own.

Hi Sara, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We are thrilled that the Easton Cornflower Glassware tied in perfectly with your bright and summery wedding theme! Our Delivery and Pickup fees are based on windows of time – ...
this venue requires same day in and out like most in DC, MD, and VA. As the approved Delivery and Pickup windows tighten, our pricing increases. Orders with tight windows become the staple of that route, then orders with more flexible windows are plugged in surrounding that stop. We appreciate that you chose us for some of your wedding rentals!
Select Event Group was great to work with. They were prompt and very patient as we had to make many changes. I really appreciate their flexibility and customer service. Would highly recommend!
We used Select Event group for glassware and linens that our caterer did not have. I had a very specific color scheme and style that was hard to find. But Select Event group had so many options that checked all the boxes! So thankful they had e...
xactly what I was looking for.

Select was incredibly easy to work with. They took our vision and made sure to give us quote up front that captured all of the details of our vision. We truly appreciate this honesty up front so that our rental budget wasn't impacted when we we...

The team was also on time with deliveries and pick ups from the venue. I would highly recommend Select for all your rental needs.

We rented the beautiful blue water goblets from this vendor, they were super easy to work with and everyone loved this detail. Amazing!

Hi Lleana - thank you for taking the time to write this review. We're so glad that the product selection and rental process was a positive experience. Congratulations and best wishes!
We rented several things for our recent wedding (including couches, a rug, side tables, glassware and linens) and had a great experience. These kinds of details really helped bring our detail to life. The process was very smooth. They have a hu...

I desperately wanted a sailcloth tent for my intimate backyard wedding. Select delivered!!! Literally delivered the tent, but also delivered in service, quality, and communication. Would highlight recommend them for all your rentals: tents, cha...
irs, linens, glassware. It was all excellent quality. And their staff is flexible and high touch. 10/10 recommend.
We worked with Select Event Group through Rochelle Myers Catering and they were wonderful! I was happy that I got to go out to their showroom and actually see the things we were renting/put together a table with some of my own items I had bough...
t. They made our day so beautiful!
Thanks to COVID-19, we needed to recalibrate our wedding several times. When we finally decided on a family-only backyard ceremony, everything — from the guest count to the venue to the season — had changed. The team at Select Event Group made ...
it super easy to pick out new linens and tableware to match our new aesthetic. The selection process, which took place in their showroom, was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. They have a ton of great options and price points.
Also, they’ve just recently redesigned their website to include images of all of their inventory, which is really helpful if you’re creating a mood board or trying to visualize different combinations of linens, patterns, furniture, etc. As a bride, I always thought it was tough to reconcile what I was seeing on wedding websites with what vendors actually offered. The website and selection process made that much easier. The end result was beautiful! Thank you so much!
They have a beautiful showroom and amazing stuff to pick from. We selected our table cloths, napkins, chairs, and chargers for our wedding and the made the room look spectacular. Many thanks to Select Event Group! I 10/10 recommend.
We were thrilled to find Select Event Group as we wanted a large tent for our wedding weekend. They executed the tenting and lighting flawlessly. The team was proactive, great at anticipating our needs and worked well with our florist, caterer ...
and wedding coordinator to ensure that the event design totally matched our vision. Carmen, our main point of contact, was professional, helpful and responsive. We were thrilled by the finished product and felt supported throughout the process. Top notch work!
Overall, pretty good service. They did say we lost a few things, which we dispute, but they never charged us for them so it didn’t really matter. The selection was good and our tables looked really nice. I see them as more of a high-end rental ...
company, and if we weren’t receiving a discount, we might not have ordered through them. They delivered to the venue and picked up from the venue for a nominal fee.
Select Event Group helped make our wedding venue beautiful with linens. We got so many compliments on how beautiful our linens were. They had so many options to choose from at their showroom and were very helpful in making our decisions. We had...
to change our table count a few times and they were always so accomidating with changes. Highly recommended!
Anna was a dream to work with. She created my floor plan and made sure it was executed to perfection!
When it comes to table settings, Select Event has it all, whether you are going for upscale elegance, a bold design statement, or something quirky and sweet. Their linens selection is outstanding, and if you are planning the wedding yourselves ...
(like we were), they offer great input and advice for anyone looking through all the possible choices.
On the day of, they are extremely professional and efficient. In our case, a huge Baltimore event kept roads closed for hours past the official end times, and their trucks were not able to get to the venue until 30 minutes before the start. I have never in my life seen people hustle that quickly, and despite the rush the execution was absolutely flawless.
The best review for them is not from me, or any bride, but from the experienced vendors we worked with, who have seen hundreds of weddings and all agreed that Select is the absolute best.

Thank you for your kind words! We are honored you chose us to help make your BIG day a reality! And, we are so happy to hear it was everything you has hoped it would be! We wish you a life time of happiness and success!
Susan was great to work with and the brown wood chivari chairs arrived on time and were beautiful! Will definitely use again.
We used select events for chiavari chair rentals. They were easy to work with and had a competitive prices. They worked directly with the location on where to drop off and pick up the chairs and when. We did not have a wedding planner, so it wa...
s awesome that I did not have to be involved on the wedding day. They were also flexible when I had last minute changes to the number of chairs needed.
Select Event Group did a great job providing the linens for our wedding! Their staff was professional and helpful during the selection process. They even let us play around in their showroom to get a better idea of how the linens would look on ...
the day of. And management was flexible allowing us to adjust our order once we confirmed the number of guests that would attend the wedding, saving us some money. Overall, we had a great experience with them.
We rented chairs from Select for our wedding reception. Very professional and easy to deal with! The chairs were exactly what we were looking for - good quality and affordable!
Our caterer put us in touch with Select Event Group for our 300 guest wedding on our family farm. We worked with Vicky for our tent rental and Debra for our tables, chairs, and dance floor rentals. Select is very smart to have different divisio...
ns for the rentals – each contact is a total expert in their division, rather than everyone in the company trying to know everything! Debra and Vicky worked with our requests and multiple changes to our floor plan and tent size. Vicky and Debra were on site both days during set up to handle any issues that may have come up. All of the staff who set up were very professional as well. I still smile every time I see one of the “Big Blue” Select trucks on the road. Very highly recommended!
From the beginning to the end - Select Event Group was extremely professional, reliable and easy to deal with. Even when there was a last minute change - as it happens with weddings - they took immediate action to make everything right and I n...
ever felt like I was bothering them. I appreciated their attentiveness and would recommend their services anytime! We had a magical New Years Eve wedding and their services helped make it possible.
We got a lot of compliments about the china, glassware, charger plates, and flatware from this particular vendor during my August 2014 wedding.
They delivered according my time schedule and convenience which was appreciated. The china and g...
lassware were perfect. I have to tell you that I did receive some tarnished flatware and Select Event immediately remedied the situation and bought new flatware. My planner was impressed because excuses are better left unsaid. I was very pleased with my representative. They worked as a team at Select Event so you can talk to one than one person and get results. Extreme communication skills and you can add plenty of understanding from them in the bargain. I have no problem recommending Select Event Group. They quartered backed for me and I did receive beyond my expectations.

When desperate came for desperate measures, Select was there to help. The tent was put up in 3 hours, looked great, and was just what we were looking for. The planner plus workers stayed on site until the job was finished. Everything worked out...
perfectly!
We rented a dance floor and coffee urns for our 12/7/13 wedding from Select Event Rentals. I coudl not have been happier fromt he initial call to the delivery and setup. The pricing was transparent and there were no "hidden fees." We needed ...
to make some last minute changes to the timing of our delivery and pick up and Select Events was very accomodating.
We only worked with Select for part of the rentals, and our planner handled the rest. We visited Select (in Baltimore) to look over linen options with our wedding planner. Susan was very accommodating and helpful. Later in the process, we visit...
ed again with our caterer to select dishes and flatware for our reception. Susan was again friendly. Later, when it was time to pay for other rentals (Chairs, etc), Susan was VERY helpful over the phone collecting payment, even after my card was declined (daily spending limits - ARGH!). We got it worked out quickly and efficiently (and patiently!). Very easy vendor to work with!
If you want no hassle and need to rent chairs or event need a tent select event rentals will handle and with no issues. I was planning the wedding on my own so they helped me so much on certain decision making for my outdoor ceremony. Thanks ...
again for everything guys!
I worked with Joanne from Capital Decor, I even hired her as my day of wedding planner. She was great, she went above and beyond what was expected of her and worked with me to get the pricing down to where my budget was. The flowers were gorg...

Everything was aboslutely gorgeous and we received so many compliments about our centerpieces (especially). My only complaint would be that I did not get everything that I had thought I would be getting. It seemed as though a few of my thoughts...
were not listened to and therefore, a few elements I had really wanted, ended up not being included in the decor. Overall, everything still looked beautiful. A bit pricey though.
We really liked the chairs that we got from Select Event Rentals. I spoke with Ramona several times and she was always very helpful. She helped me to choose the best cover for the chiavari chairs we wanted. The only possible problem would be...
if your venue will not allow delivery and pick-up to be on weekdays because they charge a couple hundred dollars to deliver and pick-up on the weekend.
My wedding was in a small chapel that is normally used for baptismals. The chapel had a mirror attached to the pulpit that could not be removed. I called Select Events located in Baltimore, Maryland to rent pipe and drape. The company brought t...
he items to the church. Before I rented the items I asked for a swatch of the material. Feeling the quality of the material made my decision easy to use them.
Using pipe and drape require an easy set up. The staff did not set up the product. The pipe and drape changed the look of the room dramatically. It gave the room a softer look. I will defintely use Select Event rentals again. I will ask if the items will be set up by their staff and is there an additional fee.
Helpful service, helped me make my changes, and make my wedding dreams come true!
Select was hired to provide all of the rentals for our at-home wedding, from the tent and flooring to the tables and chairs. They didn't always get back to us right away and we had to follow up with them a few times, and also ask questions a fe...
w times before they were answered. The biggest problem we had was with the delivery staff. They were extremely late and made us late for our rehearsal dinner, ruined parts of the lawn and dirtied a lot of our rentals by dumping them on the driveway and lawn, and didn't follow directions. However, once I called the office, they were quick to communicate to the staff and get things in order. They were also extremely flexible and saved the day by getting us tent walls the morning of the wedding. We were extremely appreciative of that. We would recommend them, but be sure to stay on-top of the delivery staff and keep yourself organized as well; don't take anything for granted.
Jeffrey and the team at Capital Decor did an amazing job helping us visualize what we wanted and executing perfectly. Amazing!!
I worked with Kelly over at Capital Decor and Events, and loved his work. I sent him pictures of what I wanted (including the Chuppah, Bouquets, etc.) and he came through. I had people tell me I had the most beautiful centerpieces they had se...

I ordered chivari chairs from Select party rental and the person I worked with was easy to reach and extremely flexible. She was quick to send all invoices and the chairs were delivered and picked up as promised and on time.
I used Select Event Rentals for my linens and they were great to work with. Especially Susan Childs at the Baltimore location. She was very friendly, helpful and very knowlegable about decor and helped me to make the best decision. Even though ...
i only used them for my linens, they had a huge selection of chairs, flatware, ect. to choose from as well.
I would very much use them again in the future, and would suggest them to future brides as well :)
