Coldiron Event Rentals

What Coldiron Event Rentals does

Coldiron Event Rentals is a privately held, locally owned event and tent rental company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, operating from a single warehouse/operations facility at 7623 Production Drive in the Roselawn/Amberly Village area. The company was established in 2015 as a subsidiary of ColdIron Enterprises Inc., which has decades of experience in event production, management, and concessions, and was materially expanded in January 2020 through a merger with Snappy Tents that created the largest locally owned and operated event rental company in the Tri-State (Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky) area. Its core inventory spans frame tents, pole tents, clear top tents, tables, chairs, linens, dinnerware, dance floors, staging, lighting, climate control equipment, fencing, and event power generation and electrical distribution.

The business serves four primary customer segments: weddings and bridal events; large public festivals (Taste of Cincinnati, Glier's Goettafest, Riverfest, Cincy Brew HaHa, Asian Food Fest, Oktoberfest Zinzinnati); corporate events; and, more recently, restaurants, healthcare/municipal clients, and private parties. Revenue is generated almost entirely through transactional equipment rental on a per-event basis, with supplemental revenue from delivery and pickup services (priced by zip code and timing) and cleaning/replacement fees. The company packages its inventory into tiered offerings — Silver ($1,799-$5,199), Gold ($2,099-$6,349), Platinum ($3,099-$9,849), Vineyard ($4,899-$12,199) for 80-300 guests — plus a $269 Petite Party Package for 20-guest self-pickup orders. Distribution is sales-led via phone, website quote requests, and walk-in consultations, with delivery handled by in-house crews across a regional service area.

Operationally, the company differentiates on a Grade-A equipment standard applied across all package tiers, a 30-day No-Risk cancellation policy, and decades of operator experience inherited from the parent. It has also extended into event production through venue partnerships (Purple People Bridge) and proprietary event concepts (Cincinnati Pop Up Weddings, Party on the Purple). Leadership is led by Marc Wertheim, CEO, President, and Founder. The company remains regionally concentrated with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external funding, relying on the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky event economy as its sole addressable market.
