We went rented a boxing ring jumper and cotton candy from Sergio. He was great and service was great. He was communicative, friendly and the jumper and cotton candy machine were really clean.

I’ve been using South Bay Party Rentals for the past four years, and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my events. They are always professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. Every delivery is on time, the equipment is clean and in excellent condition, and the setup and pickup are seamless. Their customer service is outstanding—they’re responsive, accommodating, and always go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. Whether it’s a small family gathering or a larger event, they’ve consistently exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to find a company that’s this dependable year after year. I highly recommend South Bay Party Rentals to anyone looking for quality rentals and exceptional service. Thank you for helping make so many of our celebrations stress-free and memorable!

South Bay Party rentals were really quick to response. They delivered one day before the program and picked up the next day after the program. The chairs and tables we got from them were clean and in good condition.

Great experience dealing with South Bay Party Rentals. At first, I was a little hesitant because they handle their reservations by phone and text and they’re not a brick-and-mortar business. But they came through and dropped off the chairs the day before and picked up the day after. Super professional. They even cleaned each before dropping off. Highly recommend.
