We are Williamsburg, Virginia's premier special event rental company. Our reputation was earned by providing personal service and attention to detail. Clean, new equipment and a staff that is courteous and helpful are two more indicators of our high standards. We are passionate about our work and take the time to get to know our clients, so that we can make your special event just as you envision.

 

Our clients benefit from our knowledge and our approach to service by becoming involved in the planning and decision-making process. An informed client knows that there is much more to planning an event than simply choosing the decor and food.  The event location, tent type, load-in/out, and other logistical considerations all make an impact on the feel of an event. We strive to make our events run smoothly from start to finish by helping our clients make well-informed choices, and our vast event production experience makes that possible.

 

Established in 1996, the company originally had two components: custom canvas and event rentals. As time passed and both grew, we decided to focus our energy on one. Williamsburg Event Rentals was born, and to this day we strive to show you that we do one thing, and we do it best. We have slowly, but surely, earned the trust of a wide range of clients, including some cornerstones of our community such as Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary. We aim to preserve that trust, whether the event is a high-profile one, or a small family get-together. We want to be the company you choose when you celebrate your milestones, and we know it is an important decision for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also feel that it is of utmost importance to support our community. Owner, Steve Rose, looks for unique ways that his business can allow him to make an impact in the community, both providing entertainment and supporting charity. In 2004, Steve co-founded a non-profit organization called Inclusion. He went on to start two more non-profit organizations: Eco Discovery Park and CultureFix.

 

Steve defines the company's "can-do" philosophy. His family's businesses in England included a garden center and a builder's supply center; the former he managed at the young age of 21. Destined to be in business for himself, he searched for the right opportunity after moving to Virginia. He is a creative and innovative thinker, as well as a leader in the community. Steve has two sons, Nicholas and Christian. Two of Steve's other passions are British chocolate and British cars. And, of course, his British humor must be appreciated.
