G&K was a pleasure to work with!!! They were so helpful and patient when I had to make changes at the last minute! The set up was fast and thorough.. I would recommend them 1,000%!!!! Thank you G&K!

Horrible service. I NEVER leave negative reviews, but the experience we had warrants one so others can be aware. First, the prices listed online are not accurate (they are lower than what they actually charge). Second, the website advertises the pipe and draping with a picture of lights included, and the description of the prices does not note that the lights are not included or even that you can pay more to have lights included. The way they have it advertised makes it seem like you are paying for pipe and draping that comes with beautiful lights attached. Much to our surprise, two days before

We used G & K out of New Prague for our graduation party. Eric was so easy to work with and focused on customer satisfaction. We will definitely be using them again in the future!

Eric was amazing to work with. The customer service was fantastic and selection of products was extensive. I would highly recommend this group to anyone. Low stress and reasonable pricing for high quality products and experience. Thank you!

If I could I would give this company 0 stars. The costumer service was horrible. We stopped in 2 times to get an order straight. We even offered to put a deposit down to put our order it place. They called and said we never stopped in and they didn't have a deposit! We just stopped in today and they were very rude they said that they voided our order. Don't get me wrong it's a nice place and all, but customer service is a huge part in how you like or dislike a business. Think before you act or say stuff that steers costumers away from your business.

We used G&K for our wedding based on a recommendation from a friend. We worked with Eric from New Prague and he did a great job for us. He was very informative, we changed our order several times, even adding a few items the day they were delivering and he was friendly and prompt with everything we needed. The setup crew was also easy to work with and did a great job! We found G&Ks prices were competitive with other rental companies we looked at.
