Anthony Party Rentals

What Anthony Party Rentals does

Anthony Party Rentals is a privately held event rental company headquartered at 935 E Main Street in Norristown, Pennsylvania, that has operated in the Greater Philadelphia market since 1978. Originally founded as Anthony Rentals and Sales offering general equipment rentals, the company made a strategic transition in the early 2000s to focus exclusively on tent and party equipment, rebranding under its current name. It employs between 11 and 50 staff and serves customers across Eastern and Central Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Northern Delaware through direct-to-consumer channels — phone inquiries, walk-in showroom visits, and online quote request forms.

The company's rental catalog covers the full event infrastructure stack: tents and accessories (frame, pole, festival, marquee, clear top, customer-installed, porch enclosures, awnings, propane heaters, and fencing); tables and chairs (folding tables in multiple sizes, plus Samsonite, resin, wood grain, and Chiavari chairs); tableware (china, flatware, glassware, coffee service equipment, chafing dishes); stages and flooring (modular staging, Sur-Loc, Porta Floor, parquet dance floor, custom flooring for uneven terrain); barbecue and cooking equipment (propane and charcoal grills, griddles, fryers, hot dog rollers, Cambro containers); event accessories (coolers, velvet ropes, easels); and linens distributed through an affiliated site, werentlinens.com. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; setup and breakdown of tents is included with rental, while setup/breakdown for tables and chairs carries an additional fee of $2 per table and $1 per chair.

The business operates on a transaction-fee rental model targeting a hybrid customer base that includes wedding planners and brides, corporate event organizers, festival operators, residential homeowners hosting private parties, and institutional accounts such as colleges and nonprofits. Distribution is regional and asset-heavy: a single warehouse/showroom supports a delivery fleet that has serviced thousands of events over the company's history. The company holds no proprietary software platform, mobile application, or public API, and operates with no disclosed external capital, private equity backing, or parent company. Industry affiliations include the American Rental Association, the Certified Event Rental Professional program, and the Mid-Atlantic Tent Renters Association.
