About Us
Ventura Rental Party & Events is a proud, locally owned family corporation serving Ventura, Los Angeles, Santa Ynez, and Santa Barbara Counties for over 40 years, This third generation business came into existence when owner Ron Holley moved his family from Modesto to Ventura to purchase a small homeowner and construction rental business originally founded in 1958 followed by expansion to four locations inclusive of two construction and general tool rental stores and a repair shop. In the early 1980s the company added the special events division known as Ventura Rental Party & Events. In 2014, the construction locations were sold to national chain Sunbelt Rentals.
