We are Williamsburg'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 time to get to know you 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's more to planning an event than choosing the decor and visiting our recommended local florists and caterers. The event location, tent type, load-in/load-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 experience makes that possible.
Steve Rose, Owner, 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 marrying Laura in 1992 and moving to Virginia. He is a creative and innovative thinker, as well as a leader in the community. Steve and Laura have 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.
Jennifer Hewitt, Manager, came to us in 2001 with 11 years in the special event industry. She is a multi-talented lady, and her energy and commitment are invaluable. In addition to holding down the fort, you may see her coordinating many of our big events.
Keith Cline, Williamsburg Event Rentals' very first employee, returned in 2008 as Warehouse/Logistics Manager. He is Steve's righthand man, and his knowledge of the work from the ground up allows him to efficiently streamline our operations.
Diana Haywood, Administrative Assistant, joined us in 2007. She supports Steve and Jennifer, an admirable task in itself, and her bookkeeping skills and attention to detail keep our front office on track.
Susan McLaughlin and Emma Lewis work tirelessly with hot water and hot steam, cleaning our food service items and pressing our linens. They inspect with eagle eyes and are indispensable to us.
"The Guys" round out the team with their dedication to quality work. Our field staff are always courteous and committed to our company's values.
