Our History
Started by three brothers, The Special Event stemmed from an already existing equipment rental and sales business they established in 1973 known as Aaction Rents and Equipment. By the late 70's the brothers; Mark, Paul, and John Grill, saw a high demand for party rentals in Sonoma County as the county grew. They started by renting party supplies out of their Windsor location. As both sides of the company continued to grow, it was decided in 1996 to relocate the party rental company to its new and current location in Healdsburg. Once in Healdsburg, The Special Event was recognized independently of the original equipment business.
