it is my recommendation that EVERYONE who rents from Mr. Vinson read their contract carefully...VERY carefully. My husband has his 50th bday party last week and all was just fine although i was worried because of the horrible reviews. Admittingly Mr. Vinson is an older man who is very set in his ways, it did not bother us. My only complaint ,although minor, is when Mr.Vinson approached my under age neice inquiring whether she was with her parents( i thought he should have approached the party planners first). Once he approached me i had no problem explaining to him that i was ontop of the situation and had already informed my bartenders. Situation handled. PARTY WAS A FULL SUCCESS.Bottom line- READ THE CONTRACT BEFORE SIGNING. NO GYM SHOES MEANS NO GYM SHOES......I HAD A BALL!!!!
