Elite Events Rental | Testimonials

I choose Elite Events Rental because they go above and beyond to give the best possible service. Elite Events Rental has offered great ideas and been available to step in when other rental places have not. The linens from Elite Events Rental are always clean, pressed and not damaged. They truly are pristine. I would recommend Elite Event Rental because I feel like I am talking to a friend when I call and need information or items. They truly want to help make out events successful!

In this day and age companies can set themselves apart from the competition by great customer service. There is plenty of competition in the event/rental industry in Lincoln. When a company chooses to align themselves with another company like Elite Events Rental, it is by choice, not force. That says a lot. I completely enjoy working with Elite Events Rental and their staff. I am always treated as though my business is very important, no matter how large or small my order. I will continue to work with Elite Events Rental and would highly recommend them to everyone!"

- Cheryl Deiro, Catering Manger at Embassy Suites Lincoln

"Elite Event Rental and their staff were so easy to work with, the items that we rented for our wedding were all in excellent condition and really helped to made our reception gorgeous. I had a very specific picture in my head of what I wanted our reception space to look like and with your help, everything turned out just the way I had wanted. My wedding was in Sioux City, and even with the cost of driving to Lincoln for our rentals, Elite Event Rentals was the best choice for us to stay within my budget when compared to other rental companies in the area. You had the most selection and the highest quatlity products. I also cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed working with your staff. I called numerous times to make changes by adding items and taking others off of my order according to our needs during the weeks leading up to our wedding and every time I called I felt taken care of by the staff, because of your professionalism I was relaxed and felt confident that our large and complicated order would be filled properly without my having to worry about it. Thank you so much!!! My wedding was the fairy tale day I had always dreamed of, I will never forget it, and your company played a very large part in helping it all to come together so perfectly."

- Amanda, Bride

"We chose to work with Elite Events Rental for our daughter’s wedding reception. Our experience was first rate! Hilary and Ann were so great to work with. Always friendly, professional, and available to assist us and answer questions. We appreciated their professional advice and their willingness to set up tables in the showroom so we could see our choices. We made changes in the numbers of items needed as the wedding date got closer and they were always accommodating (with a smile), very organized, and on top of the details. The items reserved for us were exactly what we planned on. It was so nice not to have any surprises while decorating the day of the wedding!"
- Denise, Mother-of-the-Bride

"I appreciate how you will go out of your way to assist us. The friendliness that greets you when you walk in the door lets us know you value your customers and the service you provide to them is of utmost importance."

- Sheila, Executive Director of Good Neighbor Community Center

"I am a wedding and events florist and have had the pleasure of working with Elite on several occasions. It's always a wonderful experience... Always ready when I come to pick up, always very friendly, efficient, accommodating, and a very good experience in general. I recommend Elite to all of my brides. I love working with Elite and will definitely continue to use the services!"
- Janine, Florist

"Elite was very helpful and helped make my wedding day go smoothly. They were very knowledgeable about what linens and other wedding pieces would work the best for me - they helped make the process of choosing everything very easy. Additionally, getting and returning all my rentals was very simple and hassle-free. When you have so many things to worry about on your big day, it's so refreshing to work with people as helpful and friendly as Hilary & Ann."

- Erin, Bride

"I enjoyed working with Eleite Events in planning our daughter's wedding. We chose to go with Elite Events for two reasons: competitive pricing and a wide selection of options for our linens. Your website made the planning easy! The contract was flexible, so we didn't have to pay extra to increase our order 2 weeks prior to the event. I was ecstatic to find that all the linens we rented from Elite Events were pressed and carefully hung so that ironing was not necessary-what a huge time saver for us!!! I have friends who have rented from other companies and have heard their stories of ironing for hours and hours to get their rented linens to look good on the tables. Our order was ready to pick up early on our date and staff was very helpful in getting it loaded up. There were enough laundry bags to hold our order for return and again, staff was very helpful in unloading. We received a 10% discount when we ordered and it was honored when we increased our final order; again, this was so helpful when it came time to pay for our event! The linens looked wonderful and we had many compliments during and following the wedding. I have recommended Elite Events to firends who will be planning weddings in the coming year and a half, and would recommend you to anyone else that I can. In all, renting through Elite Events was easy, cost-effective, and a pleasant experience! The Elite Events staff made our event enjoyable and stress-free! Thanks for doing such a great job!"

- Deb, Mother of the Bride

"Elite Events is a company that I would highly recommend to anyone. Their professionalism and creativity set them apart from their competition. Wedding planning was a bit of a challenge as my fiance and I had our wedding planned but had the opportunity to re-plan it as 4 months prior to our "big day" our venue burned down. We ended up relocating to a different city and state. Elite Events greatly reduced our stress as they stepped in and did what they do best - made the place looked incredible! I am still humbled at how quickly they worked on our time frame and our very large guest list (350). The room was gorgeous; it just set the tone for the evening. In fact the manager of our venue said "this place has never looked so good." The best part was Elite Events came back the next day and picked up all of the rental items. I didn't have to worry about anything the weekend of our wedding. We were able to enjoy ourselves with our friends and family. No decorating or cleaning on our behalf or those closest to us. Elite Events went beyond the extra mile."
- Stephanie, Bride

"If you are looking to rent ANYTHING for rehearsal dinner, wedding or reception...this is the place to go. I knew every time I went in to figure out what i wanted it was going to be a relaxed environment where I would not be stressed out about planning a wedding. They listen to your ideas and always have helpful advice to make your wedding that much greater. I was actaully able to mess around with everything to see what each of my tables would look like. They always made sure I was getting what I needed and wanted. I actually saved a lot of money by renting through them instead of going out and buying everything.

It was a blessing being able to work with such an amazing team. They helped for almost a year with helping me plan what i wanted and what would look best! The last month before our wedding I think I changed my numbers on them about 10 times....no joke! The last change that I made was the week before the wedding and there wasn't going to be enough time to get more of what I needed in so we figured out a different solution that would have worked. But the next day I got a phone call saying that they had talked to the company and made it work! They really go ABOVE and BEYOND! They know you by name and make you feel like you really do matter!

We ordered almost everything for our reception through them but one of the bigger things we got from them were chair covers for our wedding reception! They turned out GREAT! Everyone was commenting on how beautiful they were! They turned a room that looked like it was used for a business meetings into a wedding fairytail come true!

I have never been treated so well with a rental place before. They truly love what they do which makes the finished product that much better! I can promise you that when you walk in the door you will receive undivided attention which was something I had not been given from other rental companies! They are the BEST!

And the flexibility that they have is outstanding. I had a crazy few days before the wedding and they ended up letting me get stuff a few days early and drop things off a little late at NO CHARGE!

If you want great service and great products you will not be disappointed in Elite Event Rentals!"
- Erin, Bride

" . . . we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for a job well done. Our daughter was very happy and the 'bridezilla-mom', which is me, was too. Thanks so much!"

- Bev, Mother of the Bride

"I wouldn’t trust MY DAY to anyone else. From the start, Elite was professional, organized, and genuinely engaged. They paid attention to every detail because they understand there are no second chances when it comes to your wedding day."

- Emily, Bride

"When my daughter got engaged and told us she wanted an outdoor summer reception in our backyard on the farm, we didn't know where to start with our planning. Once we reserved a very large white tent, we found Elite Rentals. Everything we needed, they had! Hilary expertly guided us through deciding on china, linens, chairs, glassware, candles, even all our centerpieces. The bride wanted a variety of centerpieces and we found them all at Elite!"

- Tracy, Mother of the Bride

"You have both been a pleasure to work with. You have always been timely, friendly and helpful when needed. I appreciate the service you have provided us in the past, and hope it continues into the future."

-Ashley, Event Coordinator at The Delray Ballroom

"Living an hour away I did alot of it over the phone and was never worried that it wouldn't be 'just perfect'. The linens were wonderful as well as the vases. The service that you provide to deliver and pick back up is so helpful on such a busy weekend."
- Cindy, Mother of the Bride

"We would like to thank you, Hillary and Ann for making our "long distance" wedding and reception the most wonderful day and night of our lives. It was absolutely beautiful and took everyones breath away as we walked into the room! After all the work and ideas it was amazing to see it all put together. Their unsurpassed customer service and attention to detail made our special time just perfect. We worked together on ideas and decor and they tuned it into exactly what we wanted and needed. We could have never done it without them and their expertise! Flawless! We had many choices for companies we could have gone with and even checked into a couple. In very short time we knew our vision would come together perfectly working with Hillary and Ann. We cannot thank them enough! They made us feel very special. They know how to "listen" and guide people through their visions to get to their goals for their special day! In addition, we've even sent some people your way and assured them they too would have the same great experience! We will be seeing you and again, thanks for the memories!"
- Kathleen, Bride

"I have had the opportunity to use Elite Events Rental three times now and each and every time the service has been outstanding!! I received prompt, accurate and professional service from the initial phone order to the delivery and pick up. I will continue to use Elite Events Rental for future events. Why? Because I never have to worry about the delivery, they are always on time, the cost is right and the service is exceptional!!!"

- Dyann, Lincoln

"Working with the Elite Events Rental staff was a pleasure. They were extremely helpful and cooperative throughout my planning process and they responded immediately to all of our questions, changes, and last minute requests. They also worked well with our venue to ensure that everything was delivered and set up appropriately. They were definitely one of the vendors that I didn't have to worry about because I knew that they were on top of their game and this was just one less thing I had to worry about on the day of our wedding. I will definitely recommend their services to others!"

- Sara, Bride

"I used your company to rent some tableware for my sorority's recruitment this fall. I called pretty last minute, and your staff was very helpful with getting me exactly what I needed and being super flexible about return times. I very much enjoyed working with your company, and plan to call you again next fall!"

- Hannah, Delta Gamma

"Thank you so much for everything you have helped me with at Elite Events. You were great and helped me come up with some crazy ideas. You're Awesome!"

- Niki, Bride

"Every bride must visit the Elite showroom. I couldn’t afford to spend a lot on centerpieces and they helped me realize that I didn’t have to."

- Katie, Bride

"Girl you have skills! I can't thank you enough for all your help decorating the hall. It was beautiful! The colors were beautiful and we got compliments all night. The room looked so elegant and contemporary. I have to be honest I was afraid that all the black would make it look 'too funeral' like but it was perfect! With you decorating the day went smoother and I know it would look gorgeous!"

- Kahilya, Bride

" . . . Everything looked lovely and people commented on how beautiful the whole room looked. Thank you for your sense of detail."

- Dianna, Mother of the Bride

"It has been great to work with you these past 1 ½ years, both as an event planner with a local catering company and now as a development director for a non-profit organization! Your company is always eager to please and is so accommodating when changes need to be made….which are many when dealing with event planning needs! You are friendly, helpful and full of good ideas, and your delivery and pick-up person has always provided great service. I thank you for your past support in my business event planning and for your superior service. You are a joy to work with!"

- Kriss, Alzheimer's Association

"You made planning so much easier. You were organized and detail-oriented - no worrying for me!"

- Lindsey, Bride

"I am very thankful for the opportunity to work with you, your staff, and your company. I loved the casual relationship we were able to develop which made approaching you with questions much easier. I really loved working with your staff who were a joy to work with and made everything stress free. I also really appreciated the flexibility we were allowed up until the day of our event. Changes and adjustments that needed to be made were simple and easy with your company and I cannot stress how thankful I am for that also. We were given several compliments the night of our event stating how beautiful and elegant everything looked, and we could not have done that without your help. I would refer your company to everyone!!"
- Shala, Bride

"When we have an event planned that needs extra equipment, there is only one place we look, Elite Rentals. The equipment is in excellent condition and it always seems they have the exact item we need to make the event perfect. The store is located in southwest Lincoln and it is easy to access. The staff at Elite is very helpful and have great party ideas. Our family will always chose Elite Rental because of our past experiences."

- Natasha, Bride

"Hilary, your company has been very organized and always efficient when I or my students have ordered table rentals for our annual Christmas dinner for school board, administration, and parents. I had invoices and costs immediately. When we arranged a time for pick up, everything was ready to go and the correct order processed. It is very conveniently located in the city. Once you find a good service, you stay with it."
