As wedding director, I was disappointed with the quality of the products delivered to a recent event at a local Mobile venue. Several chairs were broken and chairs were delivered with signage taped on them from a previous event. The tables were so old thankfully tablecloths were used to cover them. The comment was made several times that Port City was certainly providing items with all profit because the items had certainly seen its share of events.
There was no help with set up so be prepared to place chairs, cushions, arrange/move tables, etc. if needed. (this may be a service that requires extra $ so not sure on this). It is my understanding Port City is the only vendor allowed to provide goods for this venue. If so, the venue may want to consider adding some competition.

We had a great experience with a bouncy house/water slide combo rental for my sons birthday party. They made it very easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. The men who dropped off and picked up the bouncy house were great! Would definitely recommend!

We rented a tent for a 4th of July event. We put caution tape on straps and stakes so they would be extra visible since there were kids at our event. When they showed up today to take the tent down, they cut the tape off and left it all in the yard, even though there was a dumpater 50ft away.

First off, I would like to ask whatever happened to good customer service? The young lady that answered the phone was very rude as if she didn't want to help. I inquired about chair rentals and backdrop stand. If you've ever worked in a business where customer service drives your company, you should know this makes a big difference to the people.

I just rented a dance floor from them for my wedding last weekend and they were the worst vendor we worked with. They did not show up for our venue walk thru and were not friendly nor accommodating at any point. We decided to contact them the week of the wedding to see if we could rent a tent for a rain plan and Erin C essentially chuckled at my mom on the phone to tell her they didn't have any tents to rent to us, allegedly. I'm not sure if they're this rude to everyone but there are a lot of other rental company's to choose from in Mobile and I won't be giving them a dime in the future.
