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!

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

I contacted three different LA vendors for an event and none of them were able to meet our visual and guest ambiance requests, timeframe, or budget. Luckily, Bob Levine and his team were able to put something together that exceeded expectations. Additionally, he took the time to physically scope out the venue and communicated updates directly to myself and my team because we could not be at the venue during the planning phase. He served as our eyes and ears. The guests of the event had a great time and sent praise almost immediately after the event. It was a very positive experience and I highly

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.

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

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

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!

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.

Allyson Levine Joseph was our main wedding planner for our wedding. Allyson is one of the best in the business. Her parents (Bob & Gail) started the company, which also has a fantastic music component of the business. We actually used one of their bands, Higher Ground, as our band wedding and they were fantastic. Allyson has strong relationships with the best wedding vendors in the area. Most importantly, she was able to get a sense for our vision and translate them into the best options in terms of style and colors as well as which vendors would be a good match.

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

I worked with Katie Pincus and the Bob Gail team for my wedding, and they were amazing. From the first time we met and explained the vision for our wedding, I felt that they got it - and they didn't disappoint throughout the planning process. Katie introduced us to some amazing vendors, and was also very open to some that I found on my own - and what came together was the day of my dreams that perfectly executed my vision.
In the last couple of weeks and on my wedding day, Katie and her team fully took over, and I was truly able to relax and enjoy the day with my family and friends.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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
