    Reliable and Awesome!

    In the time of Covid, with three wedding delays due to the pandemic, we found that flexible, understanding vendors were hard to come by. However, Cantele was great every time we had to switch, providing us with new contracts and being very helpful. All rentals we received from them looked great-- the tent was spotless and gorgeous, which really set the tone for the event. We also had to add fans a few days before due to a heat wave, and they were very helpful and accommodating with that. Overall, great experience!

    Great Service

    When I was younger I spent about 5 years working in wedding and event set up and rentals in Sun Valley, ID and have a decent amount of experience with wedding/event rental companies. Cantele provided a great service. My wife and I were both very happy with their work and the quality and condition of their rental equipment. They set up in advance, were professional, had attention to detail, and, since our wedding was during part of the partial covid lock-downs, were extremely helpful and flexible on helping us modify our contract when we needed to change our plans to comply with the covid rules and helping us understand all the rules and restrictions that the state had put in place. I couldn't recommend them more, they did a great job.

    Professional and easy to work with

    Cantele was so easy to work with. Marissa was so helpful answering questions and helping me figure out what we needed or adjusting our rentals whenever I wanted to add or remove something. The day they delivered the equipment, everything was set up great for the other vendors. Our florist in particular was really impressed by the pulley-system they set up in our tent for floral chandelier pieces. Everything was in great condition!

    Heaven under the tent...

    We were extremely pleased with Cantele Tent Rentals for my son's wedding. Marissa was helpful over the phone with ordering details and Taylor and his crew delivered the tent on a Thursday, as requested, so we were able to use it not only for the wedding, but for another dinner and a brunch. It was beautiful, very clean and spacious, and a perfect venue on our lawn. The tables, chairs, linens, glasses, silverware were also in great shape and everything looked gorgeous. We'd recommend Cantele for your Catskills event!

    We have used Cantele at numerous events over the years! They have always provided outstanding customer service, shown high professionalism, are very fair with their pricing and will do everything possible to help the client (even arriving last minute with heaters or other items...) They excel in last minute trouble-shooting! Their products are clean and in excellent condition. And James is always a real pleasure to deal with!

    Cantele Tent rentals is an outstanding company to work with !
    Literally, Cantele transformed our farm in Rhinebeck into a magical wedding venue that my
    son, his new bride and all our family and friends will always remember. From the Beautiful tent , that
    easily held 170 people, wonderful dance floor and the tables, linens and formal but rustic and
    elegant place settings, the wedding venue was transformed into a magical and dream like setting!
    We even decided to floor the entire floor of the tent only one week before the event, and James and his staff at Cantele Rentals easily got the job done. And a big Thank you to Marissa for changing and accommodating any of my last minute planning details. Beautiful farm tables, bar tables, dining tables, heaters , kitchen equipment, as well! James, from Cantele, came out and met us on our farm back in March and easily measured for the tent and helped us easily choose all the chairs, cushions and furnishings, dishes, utensils and everything, in an easy format. Just a wonderful job with our wedding!
    By the way, the dining chairs were comfortable and elegant.

    Thank you,
    Julianne

    I could cry writing this review from how grateful I am for Cantele Tent Rentals. They came to the rescue when my other vendor didn't show and cancelled with a lame excuse a day before my wedding (don't ever work with Boston Rustic Wedding Rentals!).
    In a matter of hours, Cantele's was able to get to get together a 44'x100' tent w/ lighting, 20 farm tables, 200 chairs, 20 ceremony benches, and 2 2-barrel bars. They delivered & set up everything first thing Saturday morning before our wedding. Pick up also went just as smooth on Sunday morning. Their guys just rolled in on time and did what they had to do. We have received so many compliments on the tent and the furniture. Everything was perfect! Thank you so much for coming to the rescue! Would definitely recommend and use again for future events.

    Given our experience with Cantele Tent Rentals, we would highly recommend them for your business and personal needs.

    We worked primarly with James Cantele. James is truly a master of his trade – incredibly knowledgeable, personable and easy to work with. We were married in East Durham over the summer and built our tent wedding experience from scratch and James and his team were an instrumental part of that experience. They met every expectation we had for all rental products and were extremely flexible and responsive when we asked for additional rentals or variations. On the morning of our wedding it was raining incredibly hard and James helped us out in a very difficult situation by providing clear tent walls to fortify against the rain at 40% less than their typical rate. James and his team worked extremely efficiently, assembling a huge tent structure and disassembling it in a few hours on each end with minimal disturbance to the venue/business owners and us.

    We are extremely grateful for James and his Cantele Tent Rental team for all the hard work they did for our wedding experience.

    Cantele Tent Rentals were the stars of our big day. We worked closely with James before our wedding to ensure our wedding tent, tables, chairs ect. would be perfect. He mapped out the floor plan several times for us as our numbers changed. As the wedding approached the weather was uncertain. James and his crew came several times to save the day. They even arrived the morning of our wedding to put sides on the tent so our guests would stay dry. Their tents, tables, chairs etc. were in excellent condition and their customer service is superb! I would HIGHLY recommend Cantele!

    From my past decades-long experience of designing the ABC soap operas "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" I have worked with countless party rental companies. For over the past five years I have been acting as the co-chair and designer for my local country library's - the Roeliff Jansen Community Library - yearly fund-raising Gala. I have repeatedly used Cantele Tent Rental as my source for everything from tables and chairs to assorted large tents and portable bathrooms. I couldn't be happier with their professionalism and attentiveness to my needs and my schedule and have incorporated their suggestions into my event designs. Currently I am also using Cantele for our Library's annual summer community barbecue. This year's fund-raiser was two weeks ago. Later this week I will be placing my order for next year's event.

    Cantele Tent Rentals is a fantastic local company with a dedicated and responsive team. James Cantele, the owner, often responds to calls himself and is always willing to add to inventory when there is something extra special you need. As a restaurant that does multiple weddings per season, having a reliable vendor to work with regularly is a dream come true. We highly recommend Cantele Tent Rentals to anyone looking for classic, inexpensive and reliable service. They always deliver on time and with a smile, and are available at a moment's notice. Cantele Tent Rentals is at the top of our vendor list and our utmost recommendation for a professional rental company in the Hudson Valley area.

    We use Cantele exclusively for all of our large events and weddings at Copake Country Club. Their prices are fair and their flexible arrival and pick up scheduling works with our varying needs. There have been many occasions that I’ve needed to make last minute changes to my rental order; wether because of the weather, changes in plans or simply forgetting to include an item on my part; and they’ve always been able to accommodate and have gone above and beyond to make sure I’ve got what I need. A few times our clients have requested items not in their normal inventory list and they’ve either helped me source or added to their stock so that my clients could get everything they needed. They’re great to work with and quick to respond to my frequent requests and many questions.

    We love working with Cantele. James, the whole family, and the crew are fantastic! They are so easy to deal with in the booking process and are quick to respond when we need to change items on the order. When they deliver they let us know days in advance and are never late. So quick to set up and always with a smile. The items they deliver are always clean and well taken care of. We can not say enough great things about them! We highly recommend Cantele. You won’t be sorry.

    This family owned business worked hard to ensure that we had everything we wanted/needed for our wedding. Doing business with them was a pleasure and we will surely do business again with them in the future! Their service was friendly, kind, and prompt. The day of the wedding we were so pleased with James and how he made sure we were happy with everything. I would gladly recommend Cantele Tent Rentals and look forward to doing business with them again in the future!

    My husband Nick and I worked with Cantele Tent Rentals for our 2017 wedding near Hudson. The team at Cantele is personable, accommodating, flexible, and responsive. We loved working with them and they made the process easy and positive throughout. At moments when we didn't have the answers, James at Cantele expertly coordinated directly with our other vendors. We had a large outdoor wedding with 250 guests, and the Century tent from Cantele not only did the job we needed (in a surprise summer wind/thunderstorm!), it also was an aesthetic highlight of our weekend. It gave the event a really powerful look. Finally, the clean-up and billing process with Cantele was easy and painless. ...We couldn't recommend these guys any more highly!

    Cantele tent rentals is an amazing 1 stop shop that will make sure your event is perfect. My family has had several birthday, graduation and family parties over the years and the Cantele’s have always supplied everything we have ever needed to ensure the function was perfect! We again used them for our wedding which again was amazing. They made sure everything from set up to take down went flawless! The attention to detail is phenomenal and the care they give each and every customer is unmatched! This is a family owned and operated company that strives to care for every client wether your several miles away or in their back yard. They carry top quality products, equipment and service that exceed most expectations! No need to really search for any other company. Thank you to the Cantele family for their care and consideration.

    I've worked with James and Cantele Tent on a number of events, including my own wedding and James is always very responsive, explains things well and gives you all of the options that are available. During my wedding, last minute we needed heaters and extra tables, which he brought right away - despite the fact that I texted him on his private cell phone very last minute in "bridezilla" fashion - but he didn't hold it against me. He was tremendously helpful in planning - helping me to figure out styles and quantities of glasses (and plates and silverware, etc.) and what type of layout would work best inside the tent and consequently what type of tent would look the best for the flow of our wedding - things that caused me a lot of stress whereas I had never needed to think of these types of things. Great overall experience, and James did everything with a smile.

    My Wife and I used Cantele in 2015! We Rented a huge open space for 250 guest. We had a lounge theme so they brought in couches, chairs,coffee tables etc. We even were able to add heaters last minute. The process was smooth from our initial meeting through set up and pick up. Everything was on point. We have since used them for smaller events and will continue to use and recommend them!
    Thank You Cantele Family!

    Wedding sept 1, 2018

    All the thanks in the world wouldn't be enough! Cantele rentals came through for the event I planned on the 11th hour after I was ghosted by the rental company I was supposed to use. Within hours a contract was sent, signed and trucks loaded. They came on time and efficiently set up all rentals. The quality of their items was beautiful and they were just a dream with their communication skills. I would use this team and recommend them a thousand times over. Thank you, thank you! May your business grow with great success. Hopefully we will work with your team again in the near future!!!!

    We met with James from Cantele several months before our wedding and he was a delight to work with throughout the entire process. Cantele provided us with a detailed estimate and did a great job of serving as the intermediary with a caterer who wanted to add on items than we did not want and need. Cantele worked with the wedding venue to set up and break down in a timely and incredibly efficient manner. Cantele had wonderful suggestions for cutting costs, without cutting quality or opulence. Guests appreciated the suggestions like a ramp rather than stairs into the reception venue...and if I had a $1 for everyone who raved about the AMAZING portable bathrooms...I would almost be able to pay for the event! Cantele was a delight to work with and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone planning a Hudson Valley wedding or event!

    Everything Cantele did for our wedding was above and beyond expectations. We had tents, more tents and more tents because the weather predictions changed and called for rain for our outdoor wedding, I called in a panic a day before the wedding and Cantele came to save the day with all these additional tents and flooring. We used their services for the entire wedding, tables, high end chairs, place settings, glassware, lighting and even a generator. James and the entire Cantele family and crew became a much loved part of our event. I highly recommend you speak to them first when planning an event. Many of our friends have used them since and never a complaint. What else can I say but reliable, trustworthy, quality and value. Thanks Canteles.

    Would use again

    I used Cantele for table and chair rentals for my at-home wedding. I chose them based on their location, competitive pricing, and selection - they had more variety for wood chairs available than a local competitor. I was impressed with the quality of these chairs specifically, and the professionalism and friendliness of the delivery crew. However there were a couple snafus that bear mentioning.
    Delivery and pick up were somewhat poorly communicated - I blame administration for this, not the delivery people. When the wood chairs were delivered they were in canvas bags - when I later unpacked these, I found that a few mismatched chairs had been included. I called and they sent someone to replace the mismatched ones.
    I also wasn’t notified ahead of time when they wanted to come pick up everything at the end of the weekend, so I didn’t have chairs stacked or tables cleared yet. To their immense credit, the people who came to pick up did a lot of this on their own, and called to let me know they were there.
    Overall these issues were minor and they were addressed easily, so I would use Cantele again.

    Very easy to work with-we needed to get some tents to "fill out" our barn venue (and we had a "tent on hold" with them until a few days before the wedding in case it rained!) We were very happy with the tenting.

    Rentals for our wedding

    We used Cantele's rentals for a large assortment of items including silverware, plates, water cups, wine barrels, a tent and heaters. I have to say we started off a bit rocky as they said that they would price match but then were unable to match a competitors price. We ended up staying with Cantele's as they had everything we needed in one vendor. Overall delivery and pick up of the items was pretty effortless, though we were only given a 1-2 hour window for the restroom trailer drop off. All of the items we rented were great and we loved using the wine barrels as cocktail hour tables. Marissa was wonderful as I emailed her 10+ times adding and subtracting items prior to the wedding. She responded through email promptly. Because we cancelled a couple of items a week prior to the wedding, we were refunded 50% of the value. When reviewing the bill/check they sent us, the calculations were wrong and we were short money. I emailed the owner and it was rectified in a couple of days and a new check was sent out. Lastly, if you rent a bathroom from Cantele's it does NOT include water. We realized this the day before our wedding and had to scramble to call and make sure it was full as our venue used a small well and couldn't handle it.
