About the Company

Event Source

Event rental products and services provider

Event Source focuses on renting high-quality event equipment and supplies for gatherings. The company originated as a Taylor Rental franchise in Parma, Ohio in 1979 and shifted in 1992 to specialize in event rentals, eventually rebranding in 1997 and divesting the tool/equipment side to concentrate on event needs. Its products work by providing a curated range of rental items for events (lighting, decor, furniture, tents, and other venue needs) delivered and set up for client events, with support through planning and execution. The company differentiates itself through steady, family-led growth, strategic acquisitions (notably Panache Party Rental in 2017 and So Cool Events in 2022) that expand its footprint across the Midwest and into Florida. The goal is to be a trusted, multi-state provider of event rentals with a strong emphasis on quality, reliability, and scalability to support events of all sizes.
