    Amazing wedding rentals!

    We recently worked with TBD Events for our wedding, and we were incredibly impressed. Their service is truly customized, allowing us to bring our unique vision to life. The enormous warehouse is filled with countless options, making it easy to find exactly what we needed. Even when we weren't sure about our vision, their team was incredibly helpful and guided us through the process. They were communicative and attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. Additionally, combining florals with decor and rentals helped keep our costs down. We couldn't have asked for a better partner for our special day!

    Awesome Wedding Rentals!

    Amazing job by the whole TBD staff! They worked with us through about 5 major revisions and were SO helpful throughout the whole process. Did an in-person meeting too to finalize our setup and they were so flexible with our customization and needs. The job they did was AMAZING!!!

    Highly recommend them!!

    TBD saw our vision and killed it!

    Our wedding planner Amy from Intertwined Events recommended Jillian & TBD immediately when we began the planning process. As a couple who loves simplicity in everything we do, Jillian made the entire process so seamless from start to finish.

    We had a vision for what we wanted for our Western-Sikh wedding in OC this past October. The Sikh ceremony was at a breathtaking outdoor park on the top of the cliff so we asked Jillian to help us find ways to focus on ensuring it was a comfortable and beautiful experience for all 220 guests. We brainstormed and she brought forth ideas of ways to make such a large outdoor area feel intimate (which we were keen on), and also how we could best seat so many guests on the ground for the religious ceremony.

    While florals weren't completely a top-of-mind priority for us, Jillian found the perfect way to have just the right amount onsite, and even more (keeping in mind our desire to be as efficient as possible), how to repurpose them for our evening Vow Ceremony & Reception.

    If I thought I was taken aback by the design of the morning ceremony, I was brought to tears when I arrived in the evening to Serra Plaza, our Spanish plaza-style venue in San Juan Capistrano and saw how the venue was completely transformed to something even better than any vision I had thanks to Jillian and her team. The florals in the water fountain, her beautiful long oak tables, twinkling lanterns and globe lights hanging from above, a picture-perfect lounge area - it all came together in such a romantic and classy way.

    Ultimately, it came down to Jillian's willingness to hear out our must-have's, be flexible with the unexpected (like full layout changes due to unexpected weather and creating an impromptu bouquet for my vow ceremony when I forgot mine at the hotel :) ), and giving us just a little push here and there to go for elements (like gold cutlery!!) that added the classiest touch.

    I can't express enough how grateful we are to Jillian for everything she and her fabulous team did.

    Perfect Design Team!

    We hired TBD San Diego for both florals and rentals for our August 2022 wedding at Venue 808. My partner and I have zero eye for design and leaned heavily on our planner (Heather from Willmus Weddings) and Emileeann from TBD to come up with the perfect vision based on our very vague ideas and they nailed it! Heather shared our design board with TBD and Emileeann found the perfect florals, dinner wear, and accents to bring it to life and sent us a very detailed quote. After we agreed to the basic ideas we visited their warehouse for an in person mock up of our table designs - this was very helpful to see how everything would come together and make additional adjustments based on what we liked or didn’t like. Emileeann also accompanied us to our venue walkthrough so she could see the space and make additional suggestions for items we should consider to enhance the venue. It was very easy to work with TBD and Emileeann was responsive and adjusted our quote multiple times with no issues.

    On the day of our wedding, Emileeann and her team created the most amazing tablescape, altar arch, and a hundred other details that really made the venue pop. Every single floral was carefully placed around the venue in such a thoughtful way and it was fantastic to see everything come together. All of our guests commented on the care and detail the TBD team took to decorate the venue. They especially liked the floral seating chart TBD created. On top of all the decorations, they created some wonderfully unique bouquets and boutonnieres for the wedding party and our families - people could not stop taking photos of the tiny pineapples in all the boutonnieres and the bouquets complimented our colors perfectly! Overall we could not have asked for a better design team for our wedding - our experience working with Emileeann from start to finish was fantastic and we don’t have enough good things to say about the final product!

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Emileeann from TBD was amazing to work with. She literally made my wedding vision come to life and was so awesome when I changed my mind on things. I decided pretty last minute that I wanted a different setup for the ceremony/dinner and she made it happen for me!! Cannot thank her and TBD enough. My wedding was absolutely beautiful because of them!! Highly recommend!!

    Thank You, TBD!

    In looking for a design for our wedding day, Jillian and TBD came highly recommended by our wedding coordinator, Julie Scrivener. TBD has a fabulous selection of rentals and a wonderful team to bring your vision to life! I very much appreciated & enjoyed the experience of visiting the studio and playing around with designs and textiles - how fun! As you may imagine, after multiple postponements of my wedding day through COVID - I had a lot of time to think and re-think of what my day would look like until we finally celebrated July 3, 2022. Jillian, Emileeann and the team were incredibly kind, patient and understanding through it all. The reception design turned out amazing, as expected. Thank you Jillian, Emileeann, & the TBD team for being a part of our special once in a lifetime day!

    Jillian of all trades!

    Jillian is the greatest. She look a few Pinterest photos and some wild ideas and transformed our wedding into the most gorgeous event. From the layout, to the florals, to the tablescape, every detail was flawless. Jillian is an absolute gem to work with and I'm so grateful for all she did for us!!

    Her decor made our wedding so, so fabulous! We went with a bohemian style and her furniture and accessories looked perfect. We had both farm tables and an assortment of random chairs and benches that were unbelievably cute and several lounges with couches, chairs, pillows, tables, and poofs. I had so many people raving about how amazing it was to have the lounge spaces. She had such a great vision and it came together so well. She was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Lauren and her team.

    I booked my rental with Lauren Sharon Vintage rentals a few weeks before our wedding and she was AWESOME!! I didn't have to worry about anything with her. Contract was all done online in a few minutes. One of the easiest details of my wedding :) I would highly recommend renting from them!!

    Wedding Rentals and Florals

    The team was able to bring our wishes to reality regarding sustainability. We hired TBD for all of our wedding’s furniture and floral needs, including floral arrangements. We asked for local flowers to avoid flying in refrigerated flowers and plants just for a wedding. Rachel and Annaliese were highly professional and coordinated closely with our wedding coordinator and event designer, so we didn’t need to worry about too much leading into the wedding month. Overall we had a pleasant experience, though the communication could be better.

    Lauren was a pleasure to work with for our wedding this past August.

    My wife and I researched and met with a handful of rentals vendors for our wedding, and we decided on Lauren not only because of her amazing inventory of vintage furniture, but the design services that would be necessary at the Luce Loft where our reception was being held. The loft was essentially a blank slate to create from the ground up, and Lauren did a wonderful job of making the space come to life.

    From the start, Lauren made a good impression as she was the only vendor we met with who provided her services in writing and was able to provide us with an immediate quote. Lauren made herself available to meet up a couple few times before the wedding - twice at her shop, and once at the Luce Loft for a final walkthrough to nail down details. She was always receptive to our ideas and respectful of our budget.

    Walking into the space the day of the wedding, my wife and I were amazed at how well everything came to life. The space was designed wonderfully. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. It was picture perfect and magazine-worthy! One of the most impressionable pieces was a large custom piece of art that Lauren had developed for us as part of the “design” package we got. She took one of the designs we used on our invitations that incorporated California and Ohio (our home states) and blew it up to hang behind us at the table. It was awesome! We received so many compliments on it.

    The only caveat was some seating issues (table numbers were mixed up and a couple chairs were out of place), but the issue was resolved quickly during cocktail hour and we were good to go.

    Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable vintage rentals vendor for their wedding or event. Thank you Lauren!

    Lauren Sharon Vintage Rentals and Design did a great job on our wedding this past November 2014. We booked our furniture and décor rental a few weeks before our wedding and Lauren was helpful and accommodating as we were planning from out-of-state. She was quick to respond and promptly addressed all of our questions and concerns. Extremely professional and reliable. Even though a couple of chairs weren’t in the correct place on the wedding day (which albeit may have been the coordinator’s issue), the pieces still looked great! There were absolutely no problems with any of the furniture or décor, including the doors, which we opened and closed during the ceremony. Thank you Lauren!

    Our Biggest Regret

    DO NOT USE TBD especially for a wedding. Jillian and her team seemingly do not care about the intangible importance of a wedding day, your unique style requests or your guest experience. Not detail oriented, mistake-prone, terrible bedside manner and it appeared they spread themselves way too thin and therefore forgot the important notes and diagrams we aligned on during planning (either that or they truly just didn’t care at all). Overall, they did not execute correctly on the day of our event and it has been devastating and painful for us to know that everything that went so wrong on our day was completely avoidable if we had just hired a better rentals and design vendor. Hire a team you know you can trust or live with the regret of the mistakes they will make on your wedding day for the rest of your life.
