“They did a fantastic job!! We got married at sand harbor in Tahoe and you do not get to reserve the beach it is first come. Desert Southwest events went there at 5am and camp out to get what me and my wife wanted. There was easy communication and everything turned out beautiful. Thanks again!!!”

“I needed equipment for a rehearsal dinner held at Lake Mary at Sugar Bowl. I was clueless on what to so for centerpieces. I let Kaia know what I had and she quickly suggested what to add for centerpieces. It was beautiful. Delivery by Adam was fast and promised on time as well as pick up with coordination with the staff at Sugar Bowl. This company has everything you need. I would use them again.”

“Kaia and her team were LIFE SAVERS for our event in Tahoe City, CA. We had unexpected rain and they went above and beyond to make sure we were prepared with the right tents and canopies (all last minute I might add). I'll be using their services again in the future without a doubt. Not to mention, the cleanup after the event was also great. Our location host was very impressed!”
Brenda A. South Lake Tahoe, CA“Adam is a true gem!!! We rented a small order of chairs and he was top notch on communication from beginning to end. The pricing is very fair, and Adam's personality & customer service are priceless! I can't wait to utilize DSWE for his design talents in our next events.”
Babs L. Sacramento, CA“Glad we worked with Kaia for our event. Kaia is Very responsive. We needed help with tables/linens/chairs/tents for an outdoor event. The items we requested were clean and all in great working order. When Kaia and Adam arrived to setup - they were very professional and quick. We'd definitely request their help for future events we hold.”
Korosh S. El Dorado Hills, CA“We are a small hotel in South Lake Tahoe. We found out about Desert Southwest Events through Yelp. We called to inquire about renting tables and chairs for two events. Kaia was very knowledgeable and efficient and set everything up seamlessly. She responded quickly to phone calls and texts when I had questions. We will most definitely be using Desert Southwest Events for our future events.”
Tracy P. Glenwood, MD“Desert Southwest Rentals is very service oriented. Kaia was prompt, extremely helpful, and professional with her responses related to planning needs for an outdoor wedding. I highly recommend working with her.”
Jean D. San Diego, CA“They were awesome to work with! Accommodated on short notice, equipment was perfect. Would recommend them for your events!”
Alina S. San Diego, CANew York, NY“We rented the dark stain single pole arch with white fabric drape for our Tahoe wedding. The process was seamless from the ordering to the set up and take down. They were familiar with the venue so did the set up and take down without me having to be involved at all. It was nice to have something that I did not need to worry about on the day of my wedding!”
Liane G. Sacramento, CA“We got married at Sand Harbor, Nevada, this September 2025, and Adam and Kaia, our wedding coordinators, were an absolute dream! From the moment we met, it was clear they knew the ins and outs of the venue like the back of their hands, which was extremely important to us as we had booked the venue sight unseen. It was especially critical for us to know the outdoor aspects which they had tons of experience with. They were always available, promptly assisting us with any questions or concerns we had. They always maintained a cool, calm, and collected vibe that made us feel at ease during the entire planning process. On the big day, they managed to keep everything on schedule and to make it all look so easy. Their team was everywhere at once, always available, making sure our guests were attended to, that every detail was perfect, and that we were having the best day of our lives! If you're getting married at Sand Harbor, we highly recommend them! We can't thank them enough for making our day absolutely perfect!"
Hannah Houston, TX“Exceptional service Desert Southwest Events and their staff was an absolute pleasure to work with for our parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration. From the initial meeting, their communication was timely, professional, and concise, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The team's creativity, organization, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the event, from the custom decor and floral arrangements that perfectly captured this milestone occasion, to the seamless timeline that ensured the evening flowed smoothly down to the catering that was just delicious! Their expertise was evident throughout in the creation of a truly memorable 50th anniversary party that our parents and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed. We cannot recommend them highly enough for any special event.”
Gary and Ann Moscow, ID“Joyous family reunion We had the immense pleasure of working with Desert Southwest to coordinate our recent family reunion and we are very pleased with the overall experience. From the beginning stages all the way through to the day of the reunion they provided excellent organization, clear and consistent communication and thoughtful attention to all the details large and small. Bringing together our reunion required gathering families from multiple states to bring us all together in one location for a joyous weekend! They handled every aspect with care, professionalism and attention to details. The reunion itself was beautifully put together, they handled all of the catering, the decor, equipment rental, travel arrangements and transportation to and from the venue. Our families were able to focus on reconnecting and enjoying our time together as being such a large group, we rarely have the opportunity to be together all at the same time. It was planning that took a little over a year to put together and I had the utmost faith putting the planning decisions in their capable hands. What stood out was Kaia's approachable manner, her calm affect and genuine commitment to making our event memorable and meaningful so that we created memories for years to come. We can confidently recommend Desert Southwest to anyone planning a reunion or similar private gathering. We would gladly work with them together in the future and will definitely be reconnecting with them to plan my daughter's wedding next year. Many thanks again to Kaia and the Desert Southwest Event team."
