HOUSTON, TX – August 2, 2024 – Houston Tents & Events is proud to announce the acquisition of A Finer Event, a leading event rental provider in Houston. This acquisition marks a significant milestone in the event rental industry, bringing together two powerhouse companies with decades of experience and a shared commitment to exceptional customer service.
Founded by Mike Little, A Finer Event has a rich history in the Houston event rental industry. Mike Little’s journey began in 1977 with Alpha Rents, which operated for seventeen years before he transitioned into rental consultancy for Texas’ finest off-premise caterers. In 2004, Mike established A Finer Event, focusing on delivering unparalleled customer experiences. Over the past 20 years, A Finer Event has become synonymous with quality and excellence in the Houston event rental market. The management team, boasting a combined 100+ years of experience, has been instrumental in shaping the company’s success.
Darren Randle, President & Founder of Houston Tents & Events, expressed his enthusiasm for the acquisition:
“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 for 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. Their team has always been incredible to work with over the years. Hence, 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 who has trusted both of our companies over the years. Our teams combined have some of the industry’s most knowledgeable and experienced event specialists and installers. We are ready to showcase what we can do for Houston and beyond. None of this would have been possible without Mike Little. I’m appreciative and humbled that we are the company the Little family trusts to carry on their family’s legacy in the event rental industry.”
Jeremy Little, Marketing & Business Development for A Finer Event, shared his thoughts on the acquisition:
“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, echoed this sentiment:
“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 of whom are now friends), inventory, and customer service as our top priority and know it will just be enhanced by this move.”
Houston Tents & Events has rapidly grown to become one of the most dynamic and innovative companies in the event rental industry. Inc. recognized it as one of the fastest-growing organizations in the Southwest Region, and the Houston Business Journal included it in the Fast 50. The company’s commitment to excellence drives its success. The acquisition of A Finer Event further enhances Houston Tents & Events’ ability to offer comprehensive event solutions, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry and a single-source rental company for all event types and themes.
The entire staff of A Finer Event will remain onboard, ensuring continuity and the same level of exceptional service that clients have come to expect. Houston Tents & Events is excited to welcome the talented team from A Finer Event and looks forward to the great things they’ll accomplish together.
