Party Pro Rents

What Party Pro Rents does

Party Pro Rents is a full-service event and party rental company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a second showroom in Springdale, Arkansas. The company rents equipment across 20+ categories including tents (frame, pole, structure, and Aurora sail cloth), tables, chairs, linens, glassware, dishware, flatware, staging, kitchen and catering equipment, dance floors, generators, climate control, props, and specialty furniture. It serves weddings (the primary segment), corporate events, trade shows, sporting events, and fairs and festivals across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Texas. Pricing is per-item per-rental, with setup and removal services included for many items; the company also sells retail items such as wedding stationery and concession supplies, and offers professional event planning and custom event design services.

The underlying technology stack centers on the Point-of-Rental platform, which powers the website, online catalog, online quote builder, customer portal, and inventory management. The company has integrated a third-party AI design tool (June.ai) for customer-facing event layout visualization, and maintains an SEO-optimized web presence plus active social media channels on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Distribution is through two physical showrooms (Tulsa and Springdale) backed by a Tulsa warehouse, with direct sales via event consultants available by phone, email, and appointment.

The business model combines equipment rental transaction fees, one-time retail product sales, and professional event services revenue. The company operates as a direct-to-consumer regional provider with no disclosed institutional investment, no parent company, and founder/owner Stephanie Layson listed as the sole leadership figure. Customer acquisition relies on local SEO, organic social media, the Wed Society Oklahoma Official Partner referral network, and American Rental Association membership for industry credibility.
