Current Events

They were very nice to deal with over the phone, when I placed my order. I was very put off by the insane delivery charge to pick up rentals on a Sunday (it was over 3x the amount of the rental items themselves), but it was a little less than RSVP. We didn’t want the hassle of picking up/​dropping off ourselves so we just sucked it up.
We ordered three high top cocktail tables, 10 folding chairs, and a trash can. Delivery was on time, and the items were nice and met our needs. Pickup is where everything went wrong.
We had contracted for pickup to occur between 9 – 10 a.m. on Sunday, since we had to be checked out of our hotel suite by 11 a.m. By 10:15 a.m., they had not arrived nor made any communication with us that they would be late. I called their office, which is closed on Sunday. I then called the emergency after-​hours line listed on the contract. There was no answer, so I left a message asking for a status update and explaining that we had to be out by 11 a.m.
I tried to get a late check out from the hotel, but they were unable to accommodate us. By 10:30, I had received no response from Current Events, so I called again and left another message. I called again at 10:45 a.m. to let them know that after 11, we could no longer be responsible for what happened to the rental items. I asked hotel guest services what to do with the items, and they said that housekeeping would remove them and send them to lost and found. I called Current Events at 11 to let them know this and tell them that we would expect reimbursement for any charges incurred for the extra housekeeping work.
About three hours later, someone from Current Events called me back and said the delivery driver lost track of time while working another event that morning. They said that they would retrieve the items from lost and found and not charge us anything extra. They also said they would reimburse us for any extra charges from hotel housekeeping. However, I felt they could have been more apologetic and try harder to recover our service because I was very stressed out about incurring these extra charges or being held liable if something happened to the rental items. I was absolutely livid. Given the insane amount of money we paid for the «after-​hours» delivery, I feel like they could have done more.
I would not recommend using this vendor.

When I found out everyone I know was coming to Thanksgiving, I had a small panic attack and immediately wondered where everyone was going to sit. Then my boyfriend had the brilliant idea to rent tables and chairs. Then I had the brilliant idea to get on Unilocal,found this jewel of a business, and proceeded to waste away hours perusing the various linen and tableware options.
I finally finished online «shopping» and gave Current Events a call. In a matter of minutes, I was set with long dining tables, chairs for 25 of my nearest and dearest, table linens, napkins, drinking and wine glasses for the low price of $ 150. Money well spent! Pick-​up and drop-​off were a breeze. I am moving into new digs soon and plan on calling Current Events for the necessities for my housewarming party. They are truly fantastic. A+ experience!

While producing an event in Las Vegas, our client requested a large amount of chair covers and table linens last minute. The customer service at Current Events was fantastic — they were very responsive, patient and helpful. Although the request eventually went away and we did not rent from Current Events, I will definitely reach out to them for future needs!

I typically use RSVP Rental to rent chairs, etc. — until recently, they increased their delivery fee from $ 60 to $ 80! Since we only needed to rent 40 chairs for an event — I just couldn’t justify paying $ 40 for chairs and $ 80 for delivery! So – I went online — and found Current Events!
I called and initially spoke with Kim. She sent over a proposal immediately. When I called the next day, I was informed by Keiara that Kim was not available. I thought for sure I will have to leave Kim a message and we’ll have to play phone tags all day long. To my surprise, Keiara offered to help me and took care of my order! Whaaaa?! You mean — I don’t have to wait?! WOW!
It is so refreshing to experience GREAT customer service. The delivery guys were awesome! They have a positive attitude and you can tell they have fun at work! What’s great is that the white chairs we received were CLEAN… typically with a rental place, we would have to wipe them down when we get them. So – THANK YOU for providing quality rental products and services!
I am DEFINITELY a fan!

We used Jason and his team at Current Events for our wedding reception. Our reception was at a vacation home in Las Vegas and unfortunately the owner restricted us to using the garage and driveway for the reception. Jason personally showed up and looked at the property with the owner and I. Jason came up with an AWESOME plan to transform the garage and exterior of the house. He used white sheeting, up lights, and white overhead lights. Every guest came to me and commented on how beautiful everything looked. Even my wife (who was upset at having her wedding reception in a garage) said that it was perfect. I couldn’t believe the transformation!
In addition to that, Jason was helpful with pricing and last minute changes to the plan. His crew showed up on time and were very friendly and efficient with the set up. Current Events even coordinated with the cater to supply all the flat ware, glass ware, tables, chairs, etc. We couldn’t have done it without them.
The one snag was that both for our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception (we used them for both) it rained. Yes, it rained in Vegas on both days. Current Events was concerned about the tables, chairs, and dance floor. They advised me that if they put the floor down and the rain damaged it that I would be responsible. They decided to hold off on the dance floor until the day of the wedding. They then showed up again the next day and promptly set the floor up and covered it with a tarp. Everything worked out and the reception went off perfectly. I was very grateful that the set up guys took care of me and didn’t just thoughtlessly set everything up and let it get damaged by the rain.
Current Events is a class act. I most certainly suggest using them for your event!

We had a great experience with the staff. Very helpful and the assistance they gave me was fantastic.
On top of that, the quality of the product was far better than the other companies that we went to look at.
Chairs were beautiful, linens were gorgeous and our wedding couldn’t have been any better!
Thanks guys! I will be back for my next event.

Current Events is a wonderful rental company! We used Jason and his team for our October backyard wedding. We had around 210 guests. We rented 2,800 sq in tents, tables, chairs, a 20×40 ft dance floor, bar and bar equipment, linens and gorgeous bistro lighting all from their company. I spoke with Jason personally multiple times prior to our wedding. He was always more than willing to answer my multitude of questions. One of my favorite things Jason provided us with was a 3D rendering of our backyard and where we would place all of the rentals. It was extremely helpful and gave us the piece of mind that the layout and magnitude of the wedding was even possible in our yard. Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I was often updating and changing my design, Jason never once complained, he was always willing to make changes and no job was ever to big for him. He had everything we wanted at a fair and reasonable price. I did all my major orders through Jason, even our mobile bathrooms. He spoke with the bathroom rental company, dealt with pricing, delivery, etc. He was my contact person for everything. Current Events had our entire floor plan set up the night before the wedding and arrived the day of to set up all of the linen and finishing touches. They returned the following Monday to clean up and pack up all of their rentals. They left our backyard spotless, you would have never guessed there was a 200+ person party there a few nights prior. Jason’s experience, quality of service, and desire to do a wonderful job are what makes Current Events such a fantastic company. I understand that there are much larger companies who have been in business longer for you to choose from… but I guarantee you, you will not get the personalized attention, new equipment, and level of care that you do from this company. Give them a shot, you will not be disappointed.

This is the best party planning place in Vegas! The staff (especially Jason Umphlett) is amazing! I will never use another party rental place again! You will not be disappointed!
