Party Time Rental and Events

What Party Time Rental and Events does

Party Time Rental and Events is a privately held, family-owned event rental company headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, founded in 1980 and operated by Ray and Kristi Imbro since 2005. The company rents physical event infrastructure to corporate clients, brides and grooms, nonprofits, schools, and festival organizers across the state of Arkansas, drawing on a comprehensive inventory that includes tents, tables, chairs, linens, dinnerware, serveware, lounge furniture, dance floors, bars, event lighting, wedding decor, tabletop accessories, amusement rides, and concession machines. Its operations are anchored by a physical showroom at 10720 N Rodney Parham Road and a warehouse at 6701 West 12th Street, both in Little Rock, with delivery coverage spanning the full state.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer, consultative sales model supported by lightweight digital tools: a website with an online Wishlist Builder, a third-party LinenBook reservation system, phone-based inside sales, and in-person showroom consultations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with billing on a per-event, pay-as-you-go basis. The company has no public API, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI capabilities; its competitive position is built on brand reputation (Best Party Rental Company 2008-2024), inventory breadth, and 40+ years of local market knowledge. Distribution is direct only, supplemented by featured vendor listings on The Knot and WeddingWire and partnerships for custom printing (Carlson Craft) and linen booking (LinenBook). The company is profitable and stable, with no institutional funding, parent company, or expansion beyond Arkansas disclosed.
