    Wonderful rental company in the Upper Valley!

    I’m a bit delayed in sharing this review (wedding was in June 22) but better late than never and Bloods and specifically Tanya, deserves all the praise and recognition considering how wonderful their work and partnership were.

    I found Bloods fairly late in my process as we had a venue change about mid-way through our wedding planning. Tanya was SO helpful and kind and gave us the reassurance that we were in great hands (and not too delayed in getting them onboard).

    From the first visit to their showroom, I felt at ease. Tanya helped show me the various options and we were able to set up a table setting with the various options so I could see how it would all look. I also was able to come in closer to the wedding date so I could see everything fully set up (we ended up bringing in our own runners + napkins I sourced second-hand) with our wedding favors and snap a few photos for the catering company so they knew how to set everything up.

    It was very simple and easy to change and adapt the rental list as we went along and all of the prices were very fair and reasonable (including set up and tear down). While I didn’t interact with the staff personally for the drop-off, everything seemed to come together very easily and I know my other vendors appreciated being able to work with the Bloods team for the event.

    The only consideration I would share is that I found Bloods rental list a little bit more simple than some of the others you may find in the area. But in all honesty, that simplicity made it SO much more easier to choose and all of the pieces were great and looked great together (and plus side, you really are saving so much money by not getting that vintage style water goblet that no one will really care about or remember… believe me).

    If you’re still reading this review…. Stop and just contact Bloods for your rental needs. You absolutely won’t be disappointed.

    Blood's Catering & Party Rentals's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Lizzie! You were certainly wonderful to work with and we wish you all the best!

    Hire them!!!

    Not only was the food delicious but the service was fast. We had 150 guests and they were all served in under 15 minutes. All our guests were raving about the food and talking about how tasty everything was. The staff was so kind, making sure everyone got the correct meal. They were very cautious and prepared for people with allergies. We had been communicating with Bloods for over a year and they were always so kind and friendly. They even purchased additional items that would match our purple theme. Great food, great people, and great quality!

    Could not have asked for a better caterer to work with!

    The entire staff, led by Dave, Andrea, and Mike, were top-notch all the way through. We had to switch venues after our original tent site flooded, and Blood's made the change seamless and approached all logistical challenges with deep experience and flexibility. Really a great outfit. Their kitchen staff was totally professional and the food was excellent as well.

    Recommend for sure.

    We rented our tent from Blood's Catering and they were excellent. Very very good communication and I emailed sort of last minute and had a lot of questions and they walked me through everything. I was so grateful. Recommend for sure.

    Awesome family business for our wedding rentals!

    We worked with Blood's to rent chairs, the bar, and glassware for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the service they provided. We had some adjustments to our rental order throughout the process, and Tanya's communication was impeccable - she always responded promptly and was so helpful. The team arrived to set up our chairs on the day of the wedding and lined everything up perfectly. We highly recommend Blood's!

    Amazing food and great workers!

    We used Bloods for our catering, rentals, and alcohol. The food was fantastic, the rentals were setup way before the day of, and the alcohol was great until we ran out. Just clarify how many bottles they bring of each spirit for the open bar and make sure you’ll have enough!

    We love Bloods!

    We worked with Sara for our wedding. We had to reschedule 2 times because of COVID and each time she was so responsive and flexible in working with us to get things shifted. They did an amazing job with the rentals that we needed, and everything was beautiful. I would absolutely use them for any wedding you are planning!!!

    August 17th, 2019 Wedding!

    Blood's Catering made our special day the best we could have ever imagined and more! The food was AMAZING! We even had multiple guests come and tell us it was 'the best wedding food they have ever had'. I would have to agree! Not only was the food beyond delicious, but the staff was friendly, kind, accommodating, and professional. They made sure that my husband and I got to enjoy the food first, which I was so thankful for or else I wouldn't have eaten! The planning phases were easy thanks to Tanya Blood, who went above and beyond to eliminate any stress and make sure our day was the way I had envisioned it. Blood's also provided all of our dinnerware, flatware, linen, and cocktail tables which made it so easy instead of coordinating with multiple diffeent companies. I highly recommend Blood's Catering! Thank you Blood's! - Mr. & Mrs. Taylor :)

    5 Stars is not enough!

    From the initial phone call to the last tent stake being pulled, Blood's was truly amazing. Great communication and attention to every detail. The food was fabulous and the staff extremely personable. Truly a one stop shop. Top shelf experience all the way around!!!

    Great food, Awesome service

    We just used Bloods for our wedding and it was an amazing choice. Sara is extremely easy to work with, very responsive, and was able to make last minute changes for me. The food was EXCELLENT. All of the rentals were in great shape. And it was a good value compared to other caterers. I am picky about food and was not sure it would be that great, but it really surpassed by expectations!! And I cannot say enough good things about working with Sara. Thank you guys for everything, it turned out perfectly.

    Blood's Catering & Party Rentals's reply:

    Awwww! Thank you so very much, Addie! You and Taylor were so wonderful to work with - it made my job easy. I'm so happy for you both, and wish you many wonderful years together!

    Tanya, with heartfelt gratitude and appreciation Brian and I want to thank you and everyone at Blood's for making our wedding day magical, memorable and a HUGE success! The professionalism, friendly service and excellent food are just a few of the fine qualities you and the company possess. From the overwhelming "beginning planning stages" to the tearing down of the tent, your attention to detail and quality made a lasting impression on us and our guests! Not only have you left us with beautiful memories but new friendships! Thank you for helping to make our big day everything we wanted and more!!

    Fondly,

    Mr & Mrs Brian Boardman

    Working with Bloods was easy. I worked with Jen and I was able to make a list of needed rentals, and then change it about 100 times before the wedding. I was adjusting the order up to 10 days before the wedding and it was all fine. They were flexible with the drop off and pick up time and were quick to load and unload. Would use them again for party rentals.

    I used Bloods catering for a memorial service, and they were EXCEPTIONAL. The food was delicious, set up on time, and any dirty plates or glasses were cleared quickly, but more than that the staff was kind, professional, and sensitive at this difficult time. It was easy to work with Sara Blood when organizing our event from out of town, and Bloods communicated with our venue to help make our planning easier. I would hire them again, and recommend them to anyone.

    Bloods made it all work. We and our guests were thrilled with our food. I can honestly say I’ve never had a better wedding buffet and they made sure there was something for everyone including the vegans and vegetarians, who loved the vegetarian paella. The Blood’s serving staff were fantastic - conscientious and professional. Of course, Sara at Blood’s was a dream to work with and made everything seem effortless. She worked incredibly well with our awesome Wedding Coordinator (Tiffany at Detailed Engagements) and handled a couple of wedding curveballs with aplomb. I don’t know how we could have had a better wedding experience. Thank you, Sara and Blood’s!

    Thank you so much, Melissa! You and Matt were wonderful to work with, as was Tiffany. You had a beautiful weekend for it! We wish you all the best!

    Bloods provided our tent/dance floor/seating/linens. Sarah was very responsive through the entire process by e-mail as well as phone. I loved their positive attitude and promptness in setting up and tearing down. It really made our day easy and fun! Thank you Bloods!!!

    Blood's catering did an incredible job and made our wedding the most amazing day of my life! It was beyond my expectations! The lights, the food, the decor, everything! We had the most amazing time, as did all of our guests. One of my friends even said "it was like out of a movie!" I can't even thank you enough. We worked with Jesse, who was outstanding!

    Blood's was very helpful within our wedding process! They worked very hard to make our signature drinks just right, and were willing to search for specific alcohol to do so. They were also willing to work with us in terms of number changes, questions about the process and coming up with quotes.

    The bartenders themselves were very sweet and the guests were happy to chat with them. They fit right in with the rest of the guests. We would absolutely recommend!

    We booked Blood's for our catering and tent/party rentals on a recommendation and were so glad that we did. Blood's is a family business and owner Mike personally came to the site to measure and answer our questions. The tent set up was prompt and professional. The food was fantastic and the service was top notch. Blood's also provided full bar service. They worked within our budget to make sure we got what we wanted. Highly recommended.

    We used Blood's for our rehearsal dinner tent, tables, and chairs. They were very helpful when picking out the right size tent, and came out ahead of time to help decide where on our property the tent would work best. They were prompt and efficient in setting up and taking everything down and were very helpful and responsive to questions. I would use them again for event rental needs!

    We rented about 14 round tables from Blood's Catering for our reception event. As we had a low budget, we went to Blood's and picked up the tables and set them up ourselves at the reception, then returned them 2 days after the event. We were very satisfied with the tables, which included the table linens, and the whole experience.

    Blood's is a high quality, professional operation. They are not "cheap" but when it comes to the food especially, you get what you pay for, so to me it was worth it to spend extra. Everything was perfectly coordinated. We used them for our tables/chairs/linen rentals as well as the catering. They set up the reception hall and arranged the tables with my centerpieces and favors.

    Bloods was very conveniant for my wedding. Through them, I was able to also get a tent, tables, chairs, a dance floor as well as food, of course. They are not cheap, but the food is great and they have a one stop shopping sort of oppurtunity

    Overall fine but there were many issues day-of

    Working with Bloods before the wedding was wonderful. They were super responsive and easy to work with through the planning process. However, day-of left a lot to be desired. Food was not replenished quickly during our welcome party even though there was plenty of food in the prep tent (in fact a lot of it ended up getting thrown away... they simply weren't putting it out for guests). The bartenders also ran out of champagne and wine both during our welcome party and the wedding. Everyone was friendly but there were a lot of minor issues that could have been anticipated and handled better. In addition, their rental trucks got stuck in the venue lawn space twice. Since it had already had issues during the drop-off day, I would have thought they would have planned for that on the day-of, but instead I had a tow truck to kick off our wedding weekend welcome party...
