LG head shotWelcome to the table!

It sure is getting hot out there and as the weather heats up, so does our busy season! Our fleet is geared up and ready, all seven of our showrooms are fully staffed and fully functioning, and we are ready to serve you!
 
As you may - or may not - know, I was recently installed as President of ISES New England at last month's Heart and Soul Awards ceremony. To see pictures from the event and read more about it, please visit the event page on BizBash Boston by clicking here. Many thanks to all who helped make this event such a success, including all of our sponsors: The New England Aquarium, Elegant Aura Events, Exquisite Events, Similar Jones, Fun Enterprises, Groove Entertainment, Entertainment Specialists, Strawberry Hill Confectionery, BK Designs, ALPS, David Fox Photography, and Generations Cinemastories. And a special thanks to Jenn Gullins and Allison Quill for their fabulous leadership.

That being said, I would like to express the importance of industry associations like ISES. I am a major advocate of groups such as: the SEARCH Foundation, NACE, MPI, the Boston and Rhode Island Wedding Groups, ICA, ARA, local chambers of commerce and visitors bureaus (Greater Boston, Providence, and Portland), and of course the ISES chapters for New England and Rhode Island. It is through these associations that we can get quality education, network and build the bonds and relationships that make this industry so great. These groups also allow us to be innovative and successful together. If you are not a member of one of the groups I mentioned above, please take the time to see what membership could do for you. Talk to someone you know who is involved, and find out first hand what benefits you will gain.

 
Now is the time for all of us to work together to continue making events memorable and remarkable. Thanks as always for your support and don't hesitate to reach out to see how we can "make things happen" for your events!

On the Move

In an effort to better serve our clients, we will be consolidating warehouse space into one larger facility in Stoughton. We are expanding the Stoughton warehouse space significantly and remodeling a brand new on-site linen facility to accommodate the increased inventory and activity. This will provide us with better quality control for our products and more efficient deliveries and pick ups. Delivery charges to all locations will remain the same. The Rentals Unlimited Woburn space will be moving to a new set of offices, showroom, and rental pick up location at 4 Arrow Drive in Woburn. This location will be operational by the beginning of August.

As we prepare to start construction to expand our Stoughton warehouse and create a new linen processing center, we are happy to announce that the remodeling and expansion for the Stoughton offices are done! Our Corporate Headquarters now has 7 additional offices and got a couple coats of fresh and exciting paint colors. The famous linen wall in the showroom has been expanded, and is stocked to the gills! We invite you to schedule an appointment to see our improved space and get reacquainted with our showroom and products.

I just got back from North Carolina from the fabric show, and I have seen some great new items! Hot colors being shown were purples and plums, turquoise, and lots of gray, pewter, and silver tones. As much as it pains me to say, pink is back - in every shade imaginable! Fabrics with lots of texture and "bling" were also quite abundant.

Traditional damasks and patterns are being recolored in fun party colors. Just like our Party Damasks! Black and white prints have not yet gone the way of the Dodo, but are taking a back seat to these other fun and exciting hues.

 
Don't forget to check out our featured items for July! We have just added Romance Crushed Taffeta in Pewter to our collection. I love the texture and look of this fabric and this new color is sure to be a hit for the upcoming months.

We are also proud to announce a new line of furniture available - Imperial Aubergine. This bold color accentuates the collection's sleek lines and can add the right amount of drama to any event.

Also featured are our wooden benches because we have just drastically increased inventory to meet the needs of our clients. Call today to check availability for your next event!
