Meet The Team

Your Event Planning Team

Real event setup by the Friendly Party Rental team

Your event is planned and coordinated by Nicole, dedicated full-time to guiding you from your first call through final breakdown. She works hand-in-hand with the same crew who delivers, sets up, and manages your rentals on event day, so you get one connected team instead of a planner and a rental company working separately.

“Nicole was an excellent communicator and helped us with a smooth pick up and drop off.” — Angela R.
