I had planned to use Gina at Simply Elegant, but after the first week of talking she fell off the face of the planet. I don't need that extra stress and I'm glad I didn't use her seeing all the negative feedback. I have contacted and met with Amy of Linens to Remember but don't know if they have my date still available. Any other recommendations? I tried perfect parties in Nasue and they don't service the seacoast (my wedding is in Salisbury, MA). All suggestions are welcome (other than buying the linens and doing it ourselves)

I use to work in banquets in downtown boston and we used and recommended for clients (for corporate and weddings):
Style Studio
Rentals Unlimited
BB&J (can be pricey)
There is another big one too, but I can't think of it at the moment...
For my own wedding, I actually ending up buying my own. It actually was actually a little cheaper to buy than to rent, and then I was able to sell them afterwards to another bride. I did a lot of samples because the cheapest linen companies I found we cheap in quality too... I ended going with prestige linens and were really happy with them. It honestly wasn't a lot of work, because all I did was buy the linens and drop them off with the rest of my wedding stuff a few days before... and my venue took care of the rest. Most venues will placed them out (and maybe even iron them for you, if needed) if you ask.
Also ask your venue for a recommendation, because they should have a few that they work with regularly and they might be able to order and take care of the whole process for you, that way you don't have to worry about being short or getting the wrong size. Good luck!

linens by alice is amazing...Andrew took so much time to show me all sorts of options of linens on a sample table.....unfortunately they are still very pricey so we will likely need to purchase on our own as well. However, the other great thing about this company is that they will give yous amples to bring to the venue to test out before deciding. Another decent linen company that was al ittle cheaper was Peterson Party Center in Winchester. They all charge for drop off/pick up also.
