Meet Our 2017 Wedding Show Sponsor: Alexander Party Rentals

Photographer: DanYelle McNeely

On January 29^th, future brides and their entourage will have the opportunity to meet with and be inspired by the team behind Alexander Party Rentals- a family-owned and operated event rentals company! They are the go-to suppliers for everything you can possibly need for your Big Day and they are great at meeting your needs!

When I (Beri) got married in 2012, I had a wedding guest count of 1,500 and our venue did not have enough chairs for our guests! We rented additional chairs, including chiavari chairs for our wedding party, and they made our planning so easy by being detailed, punctual and efficient!

Come and say hello and check out their inspirational set-up! P.S. don't forget to stay for the fashion show where our beautiful models will grace the stage sponsored by Alexander Party Rentals!

Her Big Day: We actually didn’t know that Alexander Party Rentals was a family-owned and operated business until recently! Tell us a little about your family and how they came to start this company.

Alexander Party Rentals: We started out as a small tool rental company in the 80’s, and started to notice the need for party rentals. In 1991, Alexander Party Rentals began providing the Puget Sound Region with quality & affordable event rental equipment. Recently in our second generation of ownership, we are proud to be one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, sporting some of the youngest equipment and newest products.

HBD: We love your beautiful white tents! What’s the largest tent you’ve set up and was it for a wedding?

Alexander Party Rentals: We have rented tents in excess of 10,000 square feet! The largest wedding tent we’ve provided was a 50x120 foot tent. Our tents come in not just white, but clear, and, on our unique tidewater tents, a semi-translucent material.

HBD: We have to ask about your chiavari chairs because they seem to be an essential for the Big Day. What are the different types and colors you carry in stock at your store?

Alexander Party Rentals: Our Chiavari chairs are definitely one of the most popular wedding must-haves right now. We carry them in Gold, Silver, Black, Mahogany, and White. Also, all of the cushions are interchangeable…so they can be easily coordinated with décor. We are offering special wedding pricing on Chiavari chairs right now, too!

HBD: Here at Her Big Day, we connect cultural brides with vendors who can service their unique wedding needs. What are some items or equipment you carry that are unique to some cultural weddings?

Alexander Party Rentals: When we first discuss our client’s needs with them, we do our best to help them in creating their wedding vision. Our tents for example, can be customized for the bride that wants clear skylights to dance underneath the stars, or transformed with an elegant tent lining and lavish chandelier. We also have linens in many vibrant colors, china in various styles, and dramatic two-tone iridescent fabric overlays called Dazzles.

HBD: What’s the best way for a bride to find out if you carry something in your store? Do you do special orders for items you may not carry?

Alexander Party Rentals: Our website lists all of our current rental items; however, we are constantly ordering new equipment to increase our inventory. If you don’t see something you are looking for, we suggest calling us and asking, as a new item may well be on the way. You might be the call we were waiting for to procure a new item.

HBD: And last, what can we expect to see at your booth during the wedding show? Can we have a hint! J

Alexander Party Rentals: We want to show brides how lovely it can be to mix the newest industry looks with their unique cultural décor. You can expect lots of vibrant colors, a culturally rich vibe, and the hottest wedding trends. Our booth will also have special wedding show pricing offers, too…some of which are 40% off regular pricing!

Her Big Day (HBD): Tell us about your business! What do you specialize in and what makes you unique?

David: I started over 25 years ago setting up dressing rooms for concert promoters like Universal Concerts, Monqui Presents, Telesis, Tasty Presents and many others... a time when there wasn't anyone doing hospitality locally for artists and musicians touring through Washington. I feel like the name of my business fits exactly what I do... styling for rock & roll stars. We are local, small and affordable... specialists at event interior design. We use the best in iconic furniture, have unusual props and a keen eye for space... explore the space!

HBD: You definitely have some of the most unique pieces we have ever seen! Why are you participating in Her Big Day: A Cultural Wedding Affair?

David: "I'm glad we found you; you're local and totally affordable" "You're not like the national event rental companies".

HBD: What more should couples know about Greenroom Decor?

David: Brides: Let your "husbands to be" know I'm here for them when they're being asked to help plan the affair... you're not alone, guys! Although I can help in all aspects of a wedding's interior, I'd like to offer gentlemen of the affair a way to celebrate in style and add their flair to the special occasion.
