Start A Wedding Rental Business

Interested in starting your own business? Consider a wedding rental business - we can help!

Wedding rentals are the perfect entry point into rentals and come at a much lower cost than, say, starting a tent rental business, for example. Did you know that about 80% of weddings happen outside of religious buildings?

Here are some useful pointers…

Your main rental items will be wedding arches/chuppahs to draw in customers, although there would be two main paths of opportunities to grow your business.

1) You can offer additional rental items (decor, microphone, speaker, tables, linens, dance floor, etc.).

2) Services. Including services like photography, florist, officiant services, etc. Adding additional services can push a $500 job into a $1000 job simply by partnering with these service businesses.

And a word of advice: Take good pictures! Rental business expert Jim Mariano from “My Wedding Arch” mentions, 

“My biggest piece of advice that helped my business attract more customers is taking photos of the arches/chuppahs after and during the event when its set up, decorated, and in action. That sells it. People make the mistake of taking these sad photos with an undecorated arch/chuppahs with a plain background and wonder why business is not growing.”

What makes the wedding rental business such an attractive viable small business is that we are not even talking about box trucks or warehousing; not much storage is needed. With the light weight equipment, you can do it all from the comfort and simplicity of your own (or a friend’s?) pickup truck or SUV. No heavy lifting or hard labor – it can be a one man job. No need to hire someone if you don’t have to.

The best part is you design your business the way YOU want to. That’s the thing. Recipi helps you create YOUR OWN business. We help you avoid the mistakes we made ourselves as rental owners through business consulting, so your business can grow quickly from the beginning. And we’ve helped many entrepreneurs start their own rental businesses by offering website creation, marketing advice, and general business coaching to get your business off the ground. So what can we help you with?
