“Best Customer Service” is always our most competitive category. We asked voters to tell us why they believe the company they nominated is the best and these are some of their responses.
“We have developed a great relationship with Anchor and the individuals that work there have been committed to delivering a high level of service. They have a very high standard for their products, which shows as we deliver to our customers.”
Nic Jensen, Majestic Events
“The Grandchamp teams are the best in the business. Innovative design, quality to the top! Super great customer service. They are there when we need them: day, night, weekend. They understand what all the rest have failed to: leg as a rafter, rafter as a leg.”
Trevor Knight, American Structures Tent
“No matter what my crazy last-minute request is, Fred’s Tents always comes through, even if I just need advice!”
Nathan Chapman, A&S Party Rental
“My contacts at Anchor reply within an hour or less of my request. They always share info I might not have thought of and let me know of any discounts that might be available.”
Cheryl Charlton, Montgomery Tent & Awning Co.
“Have been purchasing and working with Shelter for years. Always ready to help and get things done.”
Derrick Leeman, Intents structures
“Keder Solutions is by far the best company I have ever worked with!!”
James Van Natta, Marquee Event Rentals
“Block and Roll is a pioneer when it comes to ballasting and came up with a great design.”
Joe Langehaug, Losberger De Boer
“I choose Green Monster Manufacturing because of their groundbreaking tool that notably expedites our company’s labor procedures. Their innovative tool facilitates the rapid extraction of stakes, contributing to a substantial improvement in our overall efficiency. Additionally, their prompt customer service, comprehensive knowledge and swift operations further reinforce their reputation for speed and efficiency.”
Layla Tabakovic, Party Line Rentals
“Fiesta Tents has outstanding products and unparalleled commitment to customer service. Helped us out of countless tight spots.”
Andrew Ussher, Premier Event Tent Rentals
A company’s success is made possible by its employees. Several of our voters mentioned specific employees they felt provided them with superior customer service, so we wanted to pass some of the compliments along!
“We have been a long-time customer to Anchor Industries Inc. Our sales rep Mike Murphy is very friendly and knowledgeable, and is always willing to help if there are issues or if we have questions. Mike also goes out of his way to make courtesy calls frequently to touch base and see if we may have any needs. Anchor Industries Inc. offers very good products. While we don’t own some of what they offer, we are very happy with the products that we do have from them.”
Jason Herder, Redi Rental
“Back in 2023, I had reached out for a quote on some keder as a brand new customer and within FOUR MINUTES, Brittany [Balistreri with Keder Solutions] had responded and was working on my quote. She sent helpful drawings to make sure we were getting the right product, and within two days her team had my payment processed and our order shipped. They handled all of the shipping, too.”
Hayley Lynk, Seaton Sunrooms
“Carol Cundey [with InTENTional Systems] and her team have been great customer service providers and they work with us on custom items!”
Susan Farrell, Farrell’s Big Top Rentals
“Losberger De Boer always comes to mind when we think of tenting not only because of their superior product, seamless installation team and pride of workmanship, but mostly because of their communication skills and commitment to get the job done in first-class style. Pat Moughan is always available for questions or to explore ideas that may not conform to the norm and goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction time and time again.”
Nancy Bauman, NKB Events Inc.
“I would like to comment on Julie Couture’s amazing customer service and timely manners in providing service to the customers of Fiesta Tents! Great work!”
