At Houston Tents & Events, we are thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter in our journey—our acquisition of A Finer Event, a renowned event rental provider in Houston. This merger represents not only a strategic expansion of our services but also a convergence of two companies with a shared passion for excellence in the event rental industry.
A Legacy of Excellence
Founded by the late Mike Little, A Finer Event has a rich legacy that dates back to 1977. Mike’s journey in the industry began with Alpha Rents, a pioneering venture that set the standard for event rentals in Houston. In 2004, Mike established A Finer Event, building a brand known for its exceptional customer service and top-quality products. Over the years, A Finer Event has become a household name in the Houston event rental market, thanks to its dedicated management team with over a century of combined experience.
Mike’s vision and dedication have left an indelible mark on the industry, and we are honored to carry forward his legacy. As we welcome the talented team from A Finer Event into our family, we are excited about the opportunity to merge our expertise and resources to create an unparalleled event rental experience for our clients.
A Message from Our Leadership
Darren Randle, President of Houston Tents & Events, shared his excitement about this new partnership:
“We’re excited about bringing A Finer Event into the Houston Tents & Events team! After being one of the fastest growing tent and event rental businesses in the country the last few years, we’ve been evaluating how we continue to take the tent and rental industry to the next level and strengthen the customer experience. A Finer Event has been our go-to for tabletop rental products and their team has always been incredible to work with over the years so it’s fitting that they are who we are teaming up with in this venture as we look to continue toward our long-term vision of expansion. Houston Tents & Events will now be a full-service solution for any event rental needs and we are eager to join our teams together to enhance the customer experience for everyone that has trusted both of our companies over the years. Our teams combined have some of the most knowledgeable and experienced event specialists and installers in the industry and we are ready to showcase what we can do for Houston and beyond. None of this would be possible without Mike Little and I’m appreciative and humbled that we are the company the Little family is trusting to carry on the legacy of their family in the event rental industry.”
Strengthening Our Commitment to Excellence
The merger of Houston Tents & Events and A Finer Event brings together two companies that have always prioritized customer satisfaction, quality products, and exceptional service. Jeremy Little, Marketing & Business Development for A Finer Event, expressed confidence in the future:
“In the wake of my dad Mike’s passing, I helped through a season of transition to find the right fit to bring A Finer Event to the next level. Having worked with Darren over the years, partnering on events, and our teams working closely with each other, we felt Houston Tents & Events held similar values to how we’ve done business for the last 20 years. During this year, I’ve grown to respect Darren as a business leader, and I’m confident that he’s the right person to continue to serve our customers with the same level of service.”
Mark Pirozzolo, Sales Manager at A Finer Event, also shared his enthusiasm:
“I couldn’t think of a better match than these two great event companies. Merging what A Finer Event specializes in and what Houston Tents & Events specializes in makes it a complete one-stop event rental company. It’s the best of the best coming together. I am excited for our coworkers, our clients, and the industry. We have always put clients (many who are now friends), inventory, and customer service as our top priority and know it will just be enhanced by this move.”
Looking Ahead
Houston Tents & Events has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing organizations in the Southwest Region by Inc. and included in the Fast 50 by the Houston Business Journal. Our success is driven by a commitment to excellence, high-quality products, and a dedicated team of professionals. With the addition of A Finer Event, we are more equipped than ever to provide comprehensive event solutions, making us a single-source rental company for all event types and themes.
We are excited to welcome the entire staff of A Finer Event to our team. Their expertise and dedication will be invaluable as we continue to provide the exceptional service our clients have come to expect. Together, we look forward to achieving great things and setting new standards in the event rental industry.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we embark on this new journey together!
