The Reserve Vintage Rentals
The Reserve is a Specialty + Vintage Decor and Furniture Rental company that was birthed in part out of necessity and a whole lot of dreamy creative passion for creating unique settings. My name is Priscilla and I started this journey about 3 years ago as a wide eyed dreamer (and wedding planner at the time) with a lot of hope and little or no…experience in the niche event rental business. Although it didn’t take too long before i realized that this little dream of a boutique vintage rental company felt more like my calling. So I decided to see what would come of it and after our launch in the summer of 2014 I juggled both a wedding and event planning company as well as The Reserve. Fast forward to early 2017 and we have moved into a new space and i am putting up my wedding planner hat after my last two weddings this spring to focus solely on The Reserve. I’m so honored and humbled with our growth and know that my faith, family and the support of our amazing clients and couples and industry professionals have gotten me and us to this point. I can’t wait to hear more about your individual story
