Peterson Party Center

Peterson Party Center provided the tent for our garden wedding. We got a 30×40 tent, which comfortably seated our 85 guests. The PPC people were kind enough to help put up (at no extra charge) some extra globe lights that we had bought ourselves. They even packed up the lights nicely after the event.

Peterson’s was the only local rental company that had the specific linen I was looking for «ivory petal taffetta». I had three different table sizes for my wedding and was able to provide them for each sizes. Will use again.

If I could give less than one star I would.
I had a terrible experience when I called here to rent for my wedding. A woman named Sharon answered the phone and was so unbelievably rude. I have never had someone be so rude to me over the phone. There were long awkward silences on her end to the point where I thought maybe the call had ended. It got to the point where I asked if I was making an odd request calling about tents and tables and chairs as well as linens and glasswear because the conversation was so bizarre and rude. She in response said it was not an unusual call. Interesting. I“m still not clear what all the rudeness and attitude was about.
Maybe it’s a general issue in the wedding industry — prices are crazy high and people treat brides and grooms as if they’re doing them a favor though in reality couples are shelling out thousands of dollars.
In the end I took my business elsewhere and am renting a tent through the Event Company. Much better service.
I am also rending tables, chairs etc. through New England Rentals. Again much less attitude and better selection overall.
This was an overall unfortunate experience because my family has always worked with Peterson’s for weddings and holidays where we need extra chairs, china and glasswear. I will be suggesting my family and anyone else I know skip Peterson’s for a more reasonable place that comes with less attitude.

I have been a customer of Peterson’s for 20 years and I am very, very disappointed with their new delivery policy. Apparently, in order to qualify for $ 40 (each way) delivery you must now spend a minimum of $ 150. So, I was just informed that since three 8 foot tables and 30 chairs doesn’t come to $ 150 I would have to pick them up. No other options. I said I’d be happy to pay the delivery fee and they told me that I could only do that if I spent another $ 65 on something… or be willing to pay an extra $ 65 for my $ 85 order. Imagine that!!! On to Taylor Rental in Arlington.

I absolutely love Peterson Party Center. After managing events all over Boston, Peterson has earned its place as my go-​to expert on tents and rentals. Peterson’s staff is professional, detail-​oriented and extremely responsive. Need to add something to your rental one hour before the start of an event? They will make it happen.

These guys get shit done. They have highly customizable services and fair prices. Great for large summer events outdoors or grad parties.

I plan events for work and now I’m planning my wedding. I’ve used Peterson Party for work events and always have been happy with their service. Now, we will have a picnic reception for the wedding and we’ll be renting everything from Peterson Party. And I mean everything: garbage cans, linens, tables and beverage bins, tents, etc. Our event is Aug 15^th so I hope to update this review later, but as of right now. Peterson party has been great to work with. Fast and personable!

Petersons is great. They do functions all over Winchester and the metro Boston area. They do lots of private functions to major events in the area.
Check them out. You can’t miss a Peterson Party Supply Truck around town.

Holy crap tents are expensive!
Luckily, Peterson made that a little less painful. Still I could probably buy five camping tents at REI for the price of a one day rental. Think guests would go for that? Anyway…
We’re using Peterson for our wedding and lucky for us, we’re sharing a tent with the wedding the day after us. Sharing a tent = a HUGE discount. My contact there (Gary), was quick to get back to me and emailed me a quote including the discount for sharing.
Contract has been signed and sent back and one more thing has been checked off the super long to do list!
I have high hopes for our wedding day… stay tuned for an updated review in the Fall…
