Our Team

We clean it. We store it. We pull it.

We pack it. We unpack it.

We clean it. We store it. For one rental price.

Our team has elevated schlepping to an art form…

…so you don’t have to.

Bob

General Supervisor

Favorite rental piece: The Triangle Arch & The Wood Truss.. I made those

Favorite memory: Love late night retrievals. Everyone’s so happy. There once was a father of a bride sitting at our table & chair that we were picking up with 3 drinks in front of him. Told him I needed the table & chair but would let him finish his drinks and grab those pieces last. By that time he was passed out. Bride came over, she and I took Dad to a venue chair and propped him up. She thanked me for helping her. Second week there and hooked ever since.

With a warehouse full of affordable details that provide beauty and inspiration to our clients, we’re truly a destination for event designers, art directors, stylists, brides, party hosts, planners, film & video producers, commercial photographers, and more!.

Using Relics for our wedding was an absolute dream. Mary was lovely, energetic, and helpful on the phone. Kelly was incredibly organized and friendly. Going to the warehouse was so much fun! The team knocked it out of the park! They delivered everything and picked it up with no hiccups….and the actual pieces we rented!! They were STUNNING!!! We used Relics for two lounge sets, rugs, table decor, goblets, and serving platters. I will never ever get over how gorgeous everything looked. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Highly recommend! A special request made my wedding stand out from the rest. Thank you for going thru the hassle of count the darker blue, not bright blue, glasses!!! The staff was kind and helpful.

– Brooke

I’m a fellow wedding vendor in Milwaukee and I’ve worked with Relics on several occasions to rent various frames, easels and other decor for my own clients. Their collection of vintage goods helps elevate our design and print work to the next level! The entire crew at Relics is responsive, helpful and has a keen eye for styling. I’d highly recommend their services to couples as well as other vendors!

– Ashley

They saved my daughters wedding! When we found out that the vendor that we rented tables from was just not showing up to weddings that he was contracted for with only 3 weeks before the wedding we contacted Relics and they provided everything we needed very quickly and and a great price! Excellent communication and perfect pieces! I recommend them very highly!
