We ordered a dance floor and drapery from Midway Party rental. Their prices seem expensive, but I think that's just the reality of paying for this type of service. The only thing that disappointed me was that the drapery was supposed to be lit, and it wasn't. I'm not sure if someone forgot to bring an extension cord or the lights burned out, or what happened. Things were so busy that I never remembered to ask anyone at the reception site about it.
They could also be a little hard to get a hold of, we played a whole lot of phone tag!

We used Midway Party Rental for table linens, chairs for our ceremony, and a dance floor. We had to change things multiple times throughout our planning process and they were very helpful in getting our order updated. When we went to their location to look at colors, they weren't really helpful, we really had to guide them to what we wanted. I thought they would offer ideas but that was not the case. Our venue required that we have everything taken offsite by the end of the night. The delivery fee for this was ridiculous, but as most of our guests were from out of town, it really was our only option. At the end of the night when they came to pick-up our rentals, their tools broke and they were not able to take the dance floor. Our venue was definitely not pleased about that. Luckily there wasn't a Sunday wedding the following day or we would have lost our security deposit with the venue. Midway Party Rental has some of the cheaper prices, but they were not a great company to go with.

We struggled to plan our chair rental for our ceremony. We needed everything dropped off and picked up in a very specific time period. At first, Midway was not very understanding of this need. But after lots of follow up and emphasis on our part, it all worked out well. They were right on time for delivery and picked up immediately after our ceremony in the time period needed. They even price matched white chairs to another vendor. The tent rental was by far the lowest in the area.

We booked with Midway almost a year in advance. About a month before the wedding we went to contact Midway to make sure everything was going well. To find out both people that we dealt with no longer work with Midway. I was very surprised no one contacted us about that. To find out we needed new inspections at our venue location and they came out and did the inspection one day before deliver. If you would like to hear more issues I had with Midway please contact me at andante71585@hotmail.com. Idon't feel light writting out everything. I would still reccommend Midway HOWEVER keep in contact with them. They are really poor at getting back to you in a timely matter. Just watch out.

great price, but you get what you pay for. all the linens were clean, but the pipe+drape poles were fairly mangled due to prior rentals. since we had enough fabric to cover the poles, no one noticed. i wasn't charged for the already ruined poles, so that was good (i did call in to report them before returning, so that probably helped).
returns were a breeze; the staff took care of everything for us... kind of wish we could have loaded everything up on sunday and just brought it back then (instead of waiting until monday).
if you get something that's damaged, be sure to notify them ASAP... just in case.

The venue was amazing and my husband and I were blown away when we walked into the venue! The back drop behind the head table and dance floor were amazing with the par can lights. The tables were perfectly set up with the napkins and chair linens, and everyone was very responsive when we contacted them to make sure every detail was taken care of. Make sure to contact them when it comes down to finalizing the guest list for a napkin count and linens for tables so you order enough (we ordered extra napkins and were glad that we did for unexpected guests)!
Thank you so much!

They were great with chair covers and draping for our wedding. The only problem I had was in the beginning when I had a hard time getting responses. In the end, everything was absolutely perfect! I would definitly use them again!

We rented few equipments and tent from midway for our backyard bbq reception. The tent was put up as schedule. The equipment is in good condition. We did not use most of the tableware, but no refund for that. We still need to rinse the silverware and china, otherwise they will charge us for the cleaning service.(not sure why) Overall, it is just too much work need to be done to set up the table and chairs, anything extra will be charged. For other event, I think it worth to have it in restaurant.

we had very good luck with midway party rental. our consultant was very helpful...except we didn't get a call back one week prior to confirm our order (like she said we would). i had to call them. everything arrived as ordered. the only problem was the delivery/pick-up. first of all, they have an 8 am - 8 pm. delivery window. they are supposed to call you at least 1 hour ahead so if you aren't home, you can get there. i got a call at 7:20 p.m. that they were 1/2 hour away. i asked where they were and they were really less than 5 minutes away. when it came time for the pick up i didn't receive ANY call. we had been in and out all day but thankfully we were home when they came.

We had a great experience renting from Midway Party Rental for our wedding. Although the staff were not overly friendly, they were professional, responsive and efficient, which is what matters. Everything was delivered correctly and the tent was perfectly set up by the time they promised. They were very flexible as I made changes up to a week before the wedding. They were also flexible in scheduling the dropoff a day earlier than they were planning on when I requested it. I really appreciated not having to worry about any of this and just knowing that it would be done right. I would definitely recommend Midway to others!

The dishes we rented from Midway were beautiful. I was very pleased with them for the money we paid and the service we got. It was simple dealing with their people. I only wish they would have been more flexible in drop off times and fees.

Midway party rental was professional and made the place look beautiful. I did a DIY photobooth and Zong was able to help me come up with a solution to block out an area for the photobooth. She also help me with making the cocktail area beautiful and coordinate with my wedding colors/theme.

I rented a hot box that didn't get used because it wasn't big enough. I made the mistake of not going to the place and just talking to a consultant. She advised that the one I ordered fit the large hotel pans, but at the end of the day, it didn't.

Over all this was a decent experience, the people were pleasant to work with, and they had what I was looking for. They were also very flexible with our delivery dates.
We rented the white wooden folding chairs for our garden wedding, however, after being assured that they would hold a heavier adult, two broke during our rehearsal while people were just sitting still. Otherwise the speaker system we rented worked fine for our needs, I just wouldn�t recommend the wooden folding chairs.

I did not have a whole lot of contact with this vendor, but they got us everything we needed and everything was in pretty good condition. For the price and quality, I would definitely use Midway again.

The only thing that we needed to rent were chairs for our ceremony, but they were still happy to accommodate. They were delivered and set up on time, and were very courteous while doing so.

This place has one of the best selections in town, and our chairs and other miscellaneous rentals were fine from them. However, the dance floor was a nightmare. We elected to pick it up and put it together the day before the wedding to save on costs. It was missing screws, the tool to put it together and a few other pieces, which resulted in a drive back to the place to pick up the missing pieces. Front desk wasn't that apologetic either and I think we only ended up with a slight discount.
