The “Adams Advantage”

Experience.  Our team has more than 300 years cumulative experience in this business.  Training, focus on safety, and a positive culture set us apart.

We take quality seriously.  All linens are processed in-house.  China and glassware are washed and sanitized with commercial-grade equipment.  A Teeco tent washing system ensures tent vinyl is bright white and clean for each event.  Material handling techniques prevent damage in-transit.

Yes.  We are designated a Sustainable Business by the NJ Small Business Development Center.   

General Information & Booking

The best way to start is by browsing Products, https://adamsrental.com/catalog/party-rentals/, and select equipment for your “cart.”  When you submit a cart, an Event Consultant will contact you with a formal quotation.  You can also schedule an appointment to visit our Hamilton, NJ showroom.

For large events like weddings or corporate galas, we recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak seasons (May-June and September-October.)  For smaller events 2 to 4 weeks is typically sufficient, though equipment is subject to availability.

Our “one day” charge is good for up to four days. 

Yes. The earlier we know about your changes, the better we can accommodate them.  An updated copy of your order will be emailed to you following each change.

To confirm your reservation a 50% non-refundable payment (50% of the total order) is required.   The balance is due ten days prior to delivery.
