FAQs


What is the difference between a pole tent and a sailcloth tent?
The main difference is aesthetic. The pole or century tents are traditional square end, white tops, with uniform pole height. Conversely, a sailcloth tent is rounded end, partly translucent, and in larger sizes boasts multi-height center poles.

Testimonials


Would recommend Connecticut Rental Center to anyone looking for party rentals!

"We rented from Connecticut Rental Center both for my outdoor wedding and backyard Jack and Jill party in the summer of 2019. The Jack and Jill setup was smooth, and they were very accommodating of our needs. Our wedding set up was absolutely gorgeous! The tent was so beautiful, and was decorated just the way I imagined it. We were able to rent everything: tables, chairs, linens, dishes, crates and lights for decoration, and so much more. They thought of every little detail that we would need for the wedding and reception, and made sure nothing was left out. They were also able to give good suggestions about styles that would match our wedding theme and color scheme. They were flexible when we needed to make some changes up to the last minute, and the team was professional and knowledgable when setting up the equipment. We were very happy with our decision, and would recommend Connecticut Rental Center to anyone looking for party rentals!"

Overall I am very satisfied and I will definitely be using them again for my next event.

"I used them for an event this month and although I did not get to see them in person, I was very satisfied with their email and phone interactions. Tom was very nice and accommodating and readily gave me options that would save me money. Also, delivery and pick up was very easy and convenient. The items I asked for were exactly as pictured in their brochure. Overall I am very satisfied and I will definitely be using them again for my next event."

I will certainly will be calling you again for our next event!

"I just wanted to thank you so much for all the help you and your team provided in planning our daughter's wedding. From our first meeting and then the walkthrough you guided us with expertise and suggestions to make the event a success. Both my husband and I received so many compliments on the tent, the lighting, the bar and the wine barrels that we used as cocktail tables- all these elements combined helped to create the unique setting that my daughter had wanted! I also wanted to let you know that the team you sent for set up and break down couldn't have been more professional. They worked efficiently together and were so professional. They represent your company well! Thank you again- I will certainly will be calling you again for our next event!"

Great for rentals

"Cathie was fantastic to work with! From day one she was there for all my questions about tent type, table layout, dance floor size... you name it! She also calmed me when I had a brief panic that we hadn't gotten a big enough tent, walking me through the layout and making sure I was comfortable with what we had ordered. The rentals arrived at the venue promptly and worked out beautifully. Highly recommend!"

Connecticut Rental Center does much more than just tents!

Repeat Customer!

"I have been renting from CT rental for decades. From tents, tables, and chairs to sanders, rototillers, power washers, the set up (when needed) was always fast, efficient, and friendly, Tom, Bob, & Sal know the business inside out. The directions are ALWAYS crystal clear, and if there was ever any confusion, a quick call always cleared up the questions."

Highly professional, quality company

"Every time I go there I'm greeted by the nicest people. It is by far the most immaculate and impressive show room I have ever seen. Another reason I travel father to get to CT Rental Center in Middleton is because their rates are so much better than all of the others I've checked out for the same equipment. Plus they have such a huge storage area and I believe that's why their equipment is always like new. They also have huge hangers for their tents to dry before they put them away. Highly professional, quality company with really nice people too."

Great Service

"Connecticut Rental Center had great service. They were very patient with us as we updated our order, and added and removed things throughout the process. They mailed us samples of table cloth, and napkin colors, and tried to get us the items that we really wanted. They also have a WIDE variety of items to rent, perfect for any wedding event. We used them for all of our rental needs as our location had nothing fancy to use to make it feel like a wedding. On the day of set up, the crew was patient as I described how I wanted everything set up. They were also very timely. A really pleasant company to deal with!"

From start to finish, it was easy and painless and everything looked incredible!!

"CT Rental Center was awesome, to put it lightly. They accommodated several special requests and were quick & efficient with the setup of our rentals. We had to basically arrange for a small village to be built on our wedding property and they provided excellent customer care. It was personal and lovely service and they're such a well-oiled machine. From start to finish, it was easy and painless and everything looked incredible!"

They were affordable and flexible, even when we weren't sure until last minute whether we wanted to set up the tent !

My whole experience with CT Rental was 100% Positive, easy, and simple!

"My whole experience with CT rental center was %100 positive, easy and simple. We had an outdoor wedding in my parents backyard and did a lot of it DIY- they had all kinds of stuff to meet our needs. Our sales rep Cathie was incredibly responsive, kind and helpful throughout the entire process. She came and did a site visit and had suggestions for the layout and was able to give us a sample layout to start with as well. Every single time I would email Cathie a question she would get back to me almost instantly- it really put my mind at ease. The delivery guys who set up and took down our tent were incredibly professional, nice and helpful. They even showed up early because I had mentioned that I was concerned about having time for the rehearsal on the same day as the tent set-up. One of the biggest parts of having an outdoor wedding is the tent, and you want people who are reliable and helpful and who you can trust. The last thing you want is to be unsure and worried about what is going to happen. I'm so glad I found CT rental- they're the best!"

I could not have been happier with CT Rental Center!

"For my wedding on May 2, 2015 we rented the Wadsworth Tent (with liner) and a dance floor, and I could not have been happier with CRC. They were very accommodating, quick to reply to my emails, and gave me no problems with setup or teardown. I would recommend CRC to anyone getting married at Wadsworth because they are the only ones that offer the custom tent, which fits the patio perfectly and allows for full use of all the doors."

I recommend this company for all your wedding rentals!

"The staff at Connecticut Rental were such a huge help in our wedding planning. I mainly worked with two ladies. The first really helped us figure out an effective floor plan for our tiny venue. She also put together our initial rental list. She ended up moving on from the company and another lady, Judy, became my main contact. She was equally nice and knowledgeable about the products they offer. She helped us figure out an effective rain plan (which really came in handy) and work out some other details with table cloths, etc. Overall, I recommend this company for all your wedding rentals!"

This place did an excellent job with recommending what I wanted for my dream wedding

"This place did an excellent job with recommending what I wanted for my dream wedding. All I did was tell them the theme and the woman on the phone helped me in figuring out exactly what I wanted. They were willing to deliver and pick up whenever I needed/wanted them to, and the men that did so were very kind and helpful."

They were so responsive, so easy to work with!

"They were so responsive, so easy to work with! Joanne even made a special visit out to our venue to discuss the exact location of the tent & dance floor. Their recommendations were spot-on, their equipment was spotless and beautiful. From the chairs to the tent to the dance floor, everything was flawless and blended in beautifully with our wedding. Their prices were fair, and the service was excellent. Thank you for everything!"

CT Rental is the best around.

"CT Rental is the best around. No one better. Our son recently got married and we rented from two different companies...only because CT did NOT have what we needed for a bit of it. NO COMPARISON. CT Rental was on time with everything, easy and fun to work with and the things we rented were beautiful as promised. (The other company was awful. Things were dirty arrived VERY late (2 hours prior to the wedding...etc.....) This is the third time we have used this company and if they do not have what I want in the future, I will change what I want...Hands down, they are the best!"

If you have any parties or occasions, don't go to anyone else- CT Rental Center is number 1!

"I haven't had a chance to give them a review yet but I'm so happy I finally had the chance to do so! They did my engagement party in my backyard and what can I say they did a phenomenal job. Everything was on point and the staff was more than friendly. If you have any parties or occasions don't go to anyone else these people are number 1. I had about 250 people and every single one of them was left flawless!!!!!"

Treated my property like it was their own

"Special thank you to Cathie Guiffrida and the Delivery Crew: Thank you so much for your initiation of my contract and tent delivery. My experience with Connecticut Rental for my event was excellent…right down to the delivery/setup/take down of the tent/table/chairs from your three delivery men. They were efficient, courteous, and treated my property like it was their own, which excited me. I even treated them to some homemade chocolate chip cookies as a thank you for their great service. I will definitely use Connecticut Rental in the future for my event needs. Thanks so much and have a great day."

Great service throughout the process

"CT rental center provided vintage lounge furniture for my wedding last month!

Most flexible and accommodating company we have ever worked with

"We rented from Connecticut Rental Center for our wedding. They were the most flexible and accommodating company we have ever worked with. We rented tents, tables, chairs, linens, silverware, glassware, and our dance floor from them, and everything came exactly as we wanted it. At the start of the process, they were nice enough to set aside the tent of our choosing while we searched for our wedding venue. They also agreed to set the tent up a few days before the wedding just to make sure the area underneath the tent stayed dry. Then, when rain was in the forecast for our wedding date, we contacted CT Rental to inquire about an additional tent 3 days before the event. Without hesitation, they provided us with a perfect tent that still fit great with our wedding theme. I would highly recommend CT Rental Center to anyone in need of rental equipment of any kind."

I would recommend this company over and over

They also set up early, allowing me more time to set up and plan and take away my nerves. So grateful!"
