Bob and his team went above and beyond to help me bring my "winter wonderland" theme company holiday party to life. We had beautiful, wintery scenes throughout our building, unique glowing cocktail and dining tables and awesome yard decorations on our patios. The company holiday party was a huge success and beautiful success due to their decor. Additionally the crew was extremely helpful, quick and respective of my timing and strict schedule. five stars or more for sure!

We couldn't be happier with Bob Gail Special Events. We rented several large art deco props for our holiday party, and they were a hit. From the quality and detail of their props, to the professionalism of the entire staff, it was a great experience. In fact, our facilities manager said this vendor was one of the most organized, efficient and professional he'd ever worked with while at our company.

When looking for props, Bob Gail Special Events is the place to go for corporate as well as social events. Working with the team was so easy, they transformed a dingy, dark room into a beautiful winter wonderland. The event I really liked was an event for sick children, using Bob Gail's props for the children brought BIG Smiles to the children faces and tears to my eyes.

Each time we have referred them to our customers they have been efficient and true industry professionals. They are always on time and to date they have never disappointed any of our customers. They are the best when it comes to transforming any area into a beautiful room or space. I will continue to recommend Bob Gail to anyone that is doing a theme party and have a need for props. They can also recommend entertainment options for your event as well. I am always proud when Bob Gail is used to do an event that I have recommend their services.

I have been using Bob Gail special events for as long as I can remember. A corporate party, a casino night, holiday parties, you name it they have always come through with the best planning ever. There were times I had the ideas and simply needed the supplies and they were great enough to give me even more insight and recommendations. There were other events that i needed the whole shebang and what amazingness they provided.

You just won't find a better events company out there and once you work with them once they will immediately become your GO TO party provider. Thanks for sooo many wonderful years!

We have been using Bob Gail Special Events for several years now, and they are always great! Their props are top quality, and make a great statement, whatever theme we are dealing with. Aside from great props, their staff and onsite crews are thorough and seem to care about your installation - going into the final details of the install. Bob Levine is great and can help with ideas; the crew are kind and thoughtful and very professional. We recommend all of them very highly!

We used Bob Gail Events (their band Jump Start) as well as their DJ for my 300+ person wedding in San Diego, and they was absolutely AMAZING! I had many wedding guests come up to us after to tell us how great the band was and how that was the best band they had ever seen. They were professional, great to work with, and kept the party going on all night.

They were able to read the crowd perfectly for music selection, and had such good energy the entire time. We primarily worked with Brian in coordinating many of the details prior to the wedding, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I would 1000% recommend this band for a special event, and we hope to have the opportunity to work with them again at some future event!

There are many vendors to choose from in LA when planning an event and if you have never worked with them, how do you know what you are getting in to before you work with them? Referrals like this. Bob is one of the easiest and most accommodating vendors I have worked with. They are flexible, responsive, professional and have a wonderful demeanor.

Beyond that, you get exactly what you expect from their inventory. No surprises. Things show up exactly as they appear in their photos. True professionals but beyond that, amazing people!

We had an event with a Hollywood theme and the props from Bob Gail made the event! The decor they provided elevated the feel of the event and helped convey the theme to all of the attendees. It really felt like you were a celebrity walking the red carpet into a true Hollywood party! Thanks to Bob Gail, we had giant posters of old Hollywood movies that were eye-catching and fun for guests to pose with and look at as they enjoyed the event.

We used Bob Gail for the past two years for a work event (in LA and Las Vegas). Each experience was simply wonderful. We've loved the sales team, the wide selection of items, the DJ's, the delivery team. From top to bottom, I can't say anything but WOW! Thanks, Bob Gail.

We used the band Jump Start through Bob Gail Entertainment for our wedding in August 2015 and had a fantastic experience. Brian Pincus was our point person from the beginning of the process and our band leader. From beginning to end, he was extremely helpful, responsive, and always seemed to be on the same page as we were regarding the flow and feel we wanted.

We looked at a couple of other bands and chose Jump Start for a few reasons: -We had seen Jump Start at our friends' wedding ~3-4 years prior and remembered how great they were, even though it had been several years -Huge song list - much more extensive than some of the other bands we looked at -Brian immediately came off as trustworthy, accommodating, and easy to work with In addition to the wedding reception, we also used 3 band members for our ceremony music, and Brian also worked with us on very short notice to arrange for one of the band members to play at our cocktail hour.

The reception was amazing. All of the band members are fantastic entertainers, professionals, and it is clear they can read a crowd. We met ~4-6 weeks before the wedding and talked about the flow we wanted (dancing in between courses, etc) which was very important to us. Brian suggested all of the same things we were thinking and after that meeting, we felt completely at ease.

We had ~220 guests, and everyone was on the dance floor the entire time - both our friends (20s and 30s) and our parents' friends (50s and 60s). We requested to minimize the number of slower songs so it was all very upbeat and high energy. My husband was supposed to speak later in the night, but we were loving the band so much that we ended up skipping his speech so we didn't have to stop the music! We had the best time, no complaints, and could not recommend Jump Start more.

In our experience over the past 25 years in the design and production of exhibits, pavilions, corporate and government events around the globe, Bob Gail has established itself as leader in service, design, decor, and production. Special thanks to both Bob and Scott for their attention to detail on or latest event in Las Vegas for Travel Nevada!

2015 was the 40th anniversary of my company and we decided to throw a gala for 500 peeps. So being that this was going to be much larger than our normal yearly holiday parties we hired Bob Gail Events to help us out. I had the pleasure of working with Allyson Levine & Katie Pincus. After brainstorming with the girls, myself, The Big Kahuna & another top dog with came up with a very cool, elegant vibe along with a retro travel experience to 1975 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The event looked gorgeous and they were all very professional throughout the entire 10 month planning experience. My personal biggest concerns were having the event not look like your typical hotel ballroom which included hiding the massive ornate chandelier in their main ballroom, enough purple throughout (our company color) and a hip dance floor area amongst other things not needed to be mentioned here. The event space looked AWESOME and ran smoothly. I'd love to plan something else with these gals!

Hi highly recommend using Bob Gail Special Events Los Angeles. I contacted them at approx 8am the morning of the day I wanted to have my birthday. I received a prompt response from josh and he was extremely helpful. Asked what kind of venue I was looking for a provided me with different venues and price lists. It was painless and extremely convenient working with Staff.

He was AMAZING in setting everything up I had everything confirmed within an hour of working with him. Me and my guest had a great time at monarch rooftop very classy but not stuck up with a beautiful view of the Empire State Building it was so close you felt like it was in arms reach. To top it all off he was able to arrange for a free bottle and no maximum amount of people that could come. I will be recommending this service to all of my friends and definitely use them for my bday next year too. Thanks josh!

I booked Jump Start through Bob Gail as my band at my wedding. Every phone call and conversation I've had with my guests recapping the evening has included a rave review about our band. Their song choices perfectly fit the energy of the room and all age groups were able to dance and sing along. They were able to cover such a wide variety of song choices and there seemed to be a singer in the band for every type of genre (even country).

There is something about the energy a band brings versus a DJ that just really gets a crowd going and eager to dance Brian was so wonderful to work with. He was patient, engaged and invested in the night. It made a huge difference having him there keeping our timeline on track and changing things as needed based on the mood of the room. Additionally, he acted like a therapist and a band leader, helping me personally navigate through the chaos of the day.

The whole process of working with Bob Gail was seamless. They sent my husband and I a long list of songs to choose from before our wedding and even learned a couple of songs that we requested that were not part of their set list. Jump Start was one of the more expensive ticket items in our wedding, but worth every penny!

Well I am not sure if I am reviewing the right business but the guy singing gave me his card that said Bob Gail events so here it goes. I attended local San Diego Google event and he played and sang during the event. He also had a sidekick that played harmonica. They were really amazing. The singer has a really great voice. Wish i found out more about them since looking up Bob Gail events only comes up with wedding planner info

Since the majority of my friends and family live in CA, it only made sense that I would want to celebrate my birthday in my home city. However, because I don't currently live on the east coast, it was logistically tough for me to coordinate such a large scale birthday party. I also haven't partied in the city for a while, so I didn't know where the hot spots were anymore. Bob Gail Special Events Los Angeles was recommended to me by a friend, and I am very glad that I used their service. Josh was extremely professional, helpful, and honest about the pros and cons of each venue for the specific requests of my party.

We ended up getting a 2 tables at Hudson Terrace for 50+ people, and everyone had a blast. No worries at all! Thanks staff and Bob Gail Special Events Los Angeles for a great time!

I did a party the other night and rented a bunch of western props. they were easy to work with. They delivered and set up everything right on schedule and were there promptly at the end of my event to pick up everything. They have tons of stuff and ideas. If you want to have a party and do things up a little differently, check it Bob Gail's website.

I hired a jazz trio and they were great! In addition to the band members, they send a coordinator who manages the band and makes sure everything is the way I want. This company has great customer service, is very reliable, and has talented musicians.

I cannot thank Allyson Levine and Bob Gail Rentals enough for the beautiful wedding they created for us. I work in the industry so I'm familiar with rental companies and how quickly it can add up for a few couches and chairs. However, after meeting with Allyson I knew that Bob Gail would be able to give us the design concept we wanted with the budget we wanted. Allyson's eye for design was incredible!

From the linens to the furniture her touches really made our wedding spectacular. Plus she was super flexible when things started adding up and she would always send me updated budgets and revised quotes whenever I asked. She would always have a couple different priced options that I could choose from and was never pushy on the upsale, if I said I couldn't afford something then she would try and find a way to create the same look for less.

And her team was wonderful with the set up and tear down. All in all Bob Gail really made our wedding what it was, and what is was was impressive from all the compliments we received at the reception. I would absolutely use Bob Gail for any future party planning needs!

I contacted Bob Gail Events by recommendation of The London West Hollywood to assist with my wedding. Although a small event of 30 guests, I deserve to have the same care and attention as any other bride hosting a lovely rooftop event. My reception will be an intimate dinner and dancing affair at The Gordon Ramsay restaurant. I was seeking full event coordination and wedding planning services.

After explaining my event to Bob Gail's contact person, it was explained to me that they deal with "larger events primarily and someone will get back with me." They were quite condescending, a bit rude and never even bothered to call me back! I went with a lovely company who was more than happy to coordinate my wedding and reception. Unless you have a wedding of 100 people, it seems they don't need your business.

Bob Gail is THE best company to use for any event. We chose them for our wedding because they are a one stop shop! You can get everything through them: theme, flowers, furniture, musicians, EVERYTHING! Why go through the headache of using different vendors? The entire team was super competent and professional. Bob Gail is also family owned and run by the family members.

I thought that was so cute! Allyson was my day of coordinator and I knew everything was going to be taken cared of. They handled unforeseen events with aplomb. Like when it suddenly rained in the middle of our cocktail hour (which was outside and there was ZERO chance of rain that day) they quickly ushered guests to the foyer and continued with service there. Honestly if you choose Bob Gail for your special event, you will not be disappointed. I recommend them to all my friends and family.

I went to Bob Gail when I was working on different aspects for a photo shoot. I ordered some prop pieces three months in advance. I was completely shocked when I called to cancel the order and they wouldn't do it. Shocked because I rent from major props shops all over town. Sure, some deal mostly in movie not events but I also work with LA Party Rentals and Town and Country and they would let me skip the order with no penalty.

This place would not let me out. The man told me they run their company differently than other businesses and that as soon as an order is placed cogs are in motion. I doubt that they spent more than 15 minutes writing up my order. Sometimes I am shocked at the way a company runs their business. I will never order from them again just because one of my shoots could actually cancel which happens all the time.

You would think they would see the benefit in building a relationship for the long term. On the up side. The delivery crew was fantastic and 100% professional. The product was equally professional. Just make sure you really think before you order.

Bob Gail Events created an absolutely fantastic event for my daughters Bat Mitzvah party. They transformed my backyard into a glamorous night club with all the bells and whistles. I received many compliments from my guests. It was beautiful. The company was a pleasure to work with. From my initial meeting through the development process, all my needs were handled professionally.

My party manager was always available in the months prior to the event to address issues and concerns. They were very accommodating in making changes along the way and the manager was extremely helpful in helping me deal with other vendors with concerns about my parties venue. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I am excited about the prospect of hosting another event using BobGail Events. Thanks for helping make my daughter's Bat Mitzvah so special!
