About Our Guest:
Jeremy entered the event rental industry by purchasing an existing business. At the time, he was working as a regular employee and feeling unfulfilled, eager to start his own venture but unsure how to begin. Since purchasing his rental business, he has quintupled its revenue, thanks in part to the foundation already in place—existing products, client relationships, a website, photos, and reviews. Jeremy's company specializes in higher-end, specialty rentals for weddings and events in San Diego and Riverside County, offering items like farm tables, chairs, lounge furniture, photo booths, market lights, and dance floors.
He focuses on building strong relationships with groups of vendors, knowing that making their jobs easier leads to a steady stream of new clients. With a strong focus on customer service and quality products, his company has continued to scale.
