Our History
In the summer of 1995, Wendell Christopher saw the need for a customer-service-first company providing tent, table,
chair, and linen rental in the Upstate of South Carolina for special
events. Along with the help of business partner and brother-in-law Lewis
Harrison, Jr., Event Rentals was established with an inventory of two
tents, 500 chairs, thirty tables and linens for those tables. Our company started as a family business and has continued to be that way, as seven of our family members are directly involved in the operation and management of Event Rentals. We'll treat you as family also!
Our first showroom was located in rural Roebuck, South Carolina
where our warehouses are currently located. Event Rentals became a part
of downtown Spartanburg, South Carolina when our Spartanburg Showroom opened its
doors in 2004. Our first warehouse saw expansion in 2000 and then again
in 2006 when we doubled our previous storage space, which then encompassed a total of 22,500 square feet. In August 2012, we at Event Rentals sought another opportunity - in Anderson, SC. We are excited about joining the Anderson community and bringing the best special-event customer experience to the area. The addition of our Anderson Showroom pushes Event Rentals' facilities to almost 30,000 square feet.
This growth is a testament to our loyal corporate and community customer base as well as the brides who place their trust in our company to help make their dreams come true! Since January 2011, over 900 brides counted on Event Rentals on their wedding day. Let us be the company to help make your event a treasured success! See our reviews.
