There are so many things to keep in mind and straight when planning any type of an event. Herriott's has gained valuable experience over our many years in the party rental & event industry. From planning tips to the top vendors in the area, it would be our pleasure to help you with your event and share our knowledge.

Plan as far ahead as possible. To be assured the equipment you need will be available, reserve it early.
If your event is in a peak wedding month, like June (busy times for rental centers), you may have to reserve some equipment several months ahead.
If a committee is involved in your event, pick one key person as your contact with us, just to avoid possible confusion.
Want to make your event truly memorable? Set a theme. Check out our Wedding Theme Ideas and Party Theme Ideas.
Remember, we work every day with a network of other area professionals- caterers, entertainers, florists, musicians and more. Think of us as your most valuable resource for event planning.
