We had the good fortune of connecting with Kelly Van Dehy and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kelly, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My husband and I started this company together shortly after our own wedding. During our planning process, we explored several large companies and found ourselves unimpressed with their websites, policies, and the overall experience. We felt the industry had room for a business that truly prioritizes the client experience with thoughtfully curated products and personalized service.
Having always wanted to get into the wedding industry, we saw a great opportunity to fill that gap and create a business that gives couples, companies, and individuals a positive, seamless rental experience. Our goal is to provide each client with top-quality products and a memorable, stress-free journey as they plan their event.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets us apart is our commitment to both quality and personalization. We carefully curate each item in our inventory, from tables and chairs to lounge furniture and tabletop settings. We want every piece to feel as special as the event itself. Additionally, we offer tablescaping and design services, working closely with our clients to bring their vision to life. We strive to ensure every detail aligns with their aesthetic and enhances their event’s atmosphere, which gives them peace of mind and allows them to fully enjoy their day.
Getting to this point hasn’t been easy. As with any new business, we faced our fair share of challenges, from building partnerships to just figuring everything out. We’ve learned to focus on our strengths, communicate openly, and maintain a shared vision for the company. The biggest lesson we’ve learned is that every challenge can become an opportunity to improve if approached with patience and flexibility.
What I’m most proud of is the feedback we receive from our clients. Hearing how our rentals helped make their day beautiful and memorable reminds us of why we started this journey. We are also excited to continue growing and evolving as the industry changes, staying ahead of trends and finding new ways to make every event unique and special.
Ultimately, we want people to know that our brand is about more than just renting beautiful items; it’s about creating a lasting, positive experience for our clients. We genuinely care about their journey, and we’re committed to making every event extraordinary. It’s this dedication to quality and service that we believe makes us different, and we’re excited to continue sharing that with the world.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My husband, Willy, has been an incredible partner in every sense. Starting and running a business as a married couple can definitely have its challenges, but his unwavering support and stability have been essential to our success. He’s always been a rock, offering encouragement and a practical approach no matter the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. His commitment has allowed us to thrive as both business partners and a couple, and I couldn’t imagine doing this without him by my side
