Festivities

What Festivities does

Festivities is a privately held, Minnesota-based event rental, decor, and floral provider operating continuously since 1999 from its headquarters in Minnetonka. The company serves three customer segments: weddings (primary), social events, and corporate/non-profit events, offering a bundled solution that combines functional rental equipment (tables, chairs, linens, tents, catering equipment, tableware, flooring, staging, entertainment), aesthetic decor items (draping, lighting, lounge furniture, centerpieces, custom installations), and floral arrangements under a single supplier relationship. Pricing is structured on a per-day unit rental basis, with items ranging from approximately $1.50/day accessories to $2,016/day premium staging, supplemented by consultation, delivery, installation, and teardown services.

The company's technology stack is light and largely third-party: it uses the Goodshuffle SaaS platform to power its online inventory catalog, wishlist functionality, availability checking, and rental request submission, supplemented by virtual consultation booking and content marketing assets (Wedding Design Workbook, Pin-spiration, event galleries). The firm maintains a physical showroom at its Minnetonka headquarters for in-person product previews and operates owned delivery and installation logistics, including overnight teardown.

Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with discovery primarily through the website catalog and consultation booking, followed by phone and email conversion. Marketing is concentrated in top-of-funnel content (event galleries, design workbook, Pinterest-style inspiration) aimed at Minnesota consumers, SMB event planners, and corporate event coordinators. Revenue is generated entirely from within Minnesota with no disclosed geographic expansion, M&A, institutional funding, or external investors.

Direct peers

• Snyder's Events: Regional full-service event rental company in the Mid-Atlantic offering tents, tables, chairs, linens, and decor. Mirrors Festivities' one-stop regional rental model, with comparable wedding/corporate customer mix and full-service install capability.
• BBJ Linen: Specialty event linen rental company providing high-end table linens, napkins, and accessories for weddings, galas, and corporate events. Directly comparable to Festivities' linen and overlay sub-product, but with a national footprint and linen-only focus.
• M&M Event Rentals: Texas-based full-service event rental company offering tents, tables, chairs, dance floors, and decor. Comparable regional full-service rental model serving weddings and corporate events across a single state geography.
• Event Source: Regional event rental company serving the Midwest with tents, tables, chairs, and decor for weddings and corporate events. Directly comparable to Festivities as a full-service regional rental and design provider with a similar product mix and customer base.
• Party Reflections: Carolinas-based event rental company providing tents, tables, chairs, linens, and decor for weddings, corporate, and social events. Directly comparable to Festivities in scope (full rental + decor stack) and customer segmentation.

Broad incumbents

• CORT Events: National furniture rental division of CORT, providing event furniture (lounges, bars, tables, chairs) for trade shows, corporate events, and weddings. Comparable to Festivities on the event furniture rental category, but operating at national scale across broader B2B segments.
• Marquee Event Group: One of the largest U.S. event rental providers, formed from the consolidation of Classic Party Rentals and others, offering tents, tables, linens, and decor. Overlaps with Festivities on the full event rental stack but at a national, multi-metro scale.
• AFR Furniture Rental: National event and trade show furniture rental company offering lounge, banquet, and staging furniture. Comparable on event furniture rental, though it serves a broader trade show and corporate clientele than Festivities' wedding-leaning mix.

Emerging players

• LinenTablecloth: Online-direct event linen and tablecloth retailer/rental serving weddings, parties, and corporate events. Comparable on the linen sub-product within Festivities' catalog, but a low-end, self-serve online channel rather than full-service rental.
• Got You Covered (chair covers): Specialty retailer of event chair covers and sashes, an area where Festivities claims 100+ varieties. Comparable on a narrow sub-product within Festivities' catalog, but a single-product online seller rather than a full-service rental provider.
