About

Hello my name is Dorri Wassom and I live in Salem Oregon with my wonderful husband and 3 energetic and crazy kiddos. I've been in the wedding/catering/floral/banquet industry since i was 16 and ADORE every part of it. This business has been brewing for many years now in the back of my mind but came to be when my husband and i decided to adopt a 2 year old boy. I needed something i could do from home to help support our family after leaving my job to be at home with Pete. After much prayer and advice from friends and family, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE was born.

We offer rental items at a fraction of the cost and many unique one of a kind pieces for decor. I have thousands of items available for rent! I love being able to save brides and their families from the stress of purchasing all the supplies for a wedding and then having to figure out what to do with the items after. Why not just order what you need from me and pick it up and bring it back and leave the worry to me?

I love designing unique one of a kind wedding flowers as well.

We have brides pick up items for their weddings from all over the state of Oregon and even Washington. We are conviently located off of I-5 in south Salem. Thank you for your interest in our company! And thanks be to God for opening the flood gates for our little business!

Affordable and fun!

We used For The Love of Pete Rentals for decor and a different rental company for chairs and tables. For The Love of Pete has an adorable store room. Talking to Dorri, the owner, about my wedding vision and picking out decor was a highlight of my wedding planning process. They were very accommodating when we had a flat tire and we had to change plans on them last mintue. I cannot recommend them enough and their prices are great.

Best quality rentals

For the love of Pete made everything simple and easy for us. they worked around our schedule and make sure that we could come in whenever it was convenient. The return part of it was very relaxing. Everyone loved their rental product the day of the event. You made our background look beautiful we could not ask for a better company.

Ashley’s Bridal Shower

Dorri helped me find party supplies for my daughter’s Parisian theme bridal shower. The shower was stunning. I recommend For the Love of Pete in Salem. Hands down the best selection and service for event rentals.

The ladies at For the Love of Pete are so amazing! They have the most beautiful decor to rent and there is something for every style! I personally rented most of my decor for my wedding and it was such an easy process. I recommend them to all of my couples and I love seeing the decor come together at their weddings, it makes for beautiful pictures!
