It's been a pleasure working with this company. I'm sure you'd feel as good about doing business with them as I do about working for them. It's a family owned business that works at being as a family with their employees. After years of OTR trucking, my social skills have depreciated. Working here has helped me gain some people skills back.

My family and I rented some chairs for Christmas for our family party, and Katie was very helpful and professional. When returning the chairs the gentleman at the warehouse were so helpful and nice. Thank you so much we will be using y'all again. Thanks, Ms. Slaughter

We had a nice, easy experience. Ellen patiently worked with me discussing different layouts and configurations and replied to my many inquiries very quickly. Set up and tear down were also completed quickly. This is just shy of a 5th star because many of the chairs we rented needed some additional cleaning. We would definitely use Mutton again.

Our Roaring 20's NYE party wouldn't have been the same, without Mutton! From the early emails with Lizanne, to the pick-up process with the warehouse - everything was PERFECT! Even though we only had 6 tables at our party they were the perfect addition, for those that didn't want to sit. After seeing their showroom, it certainly influenced as to how we decorated the tables. We'll be back

We went to muttonrental and rented some Dogwood trees for a wedding. The wedding was suppose to take place on April 4th, 2020. As everyone knows the dire situation we are all in because of the Coronavirus outbreak, and as everyone also knows the CDC and County health officials have shut down many events. Well thanks to this outbreak the wedding had to be cancelled(which we totally understand)better safe than sorry.
But the heartless people at Muttonrental will only return 50% of the price (which we paid in full).Way to help out when there is a national crisis Muttons! We will never recommend them to anyone, or never again use their services! We have also reported them to the Better Business Bureau! It would be totally different if we just changed our minds. Not the case, our minds were changed for us due to the national pandemic this virus has caused! Talk about being money hungry!

I wanted to let you know that I am frankly displeased with your service. I tried to handle the situation without putting Bob Mutton employees or All Occasions employees in a pinch. Instead of checking the linen on site today while I was already in Fort Wayne, I now have to drive all the way back there and try to re-exchange linen, because I got a call 4 hours later that the linen returned was "not acceptable".
I am sorry that we caused you any inconvenience about the linen in the first place, but this is now completely disrespectful that I will have to spend another 1/2 day (running as a middle man) in between two companies, as I was trying to resolve this issue. Your employees could have frankly helped with the situation when I was at the shop today, and didn't. That is not excellent customer service. Positive reviews will not be left, and you have lost all future business with any of our businesses. We will be renting from Taylor Rental and All Occassions for any future rental needs.
