Tell us a little bit about your business.
The 1978 Collection is Pittsburgh’s premier event rental house, born from the legacy of three trusted companies: All Occasions Party Rental, Marbella Event Furniture & Décor Rental, and Lendable Linens. Together, we’ve united decades of experience, an unmatched inventory, and a love for great design under one new name. From dinner plates to dance floors, chandeliers to custom linens, our collection offers everything you need to transform a space into a celebration. At our core, we believe rentals aren’t just logistics, they’re the building blocks of your wedding story.
What makes your work unique?
Our work is unique because we see rentals differently. To us, they’re not just tables and chairs, they’re the tools that help you set the stage for memories. From timeless classics to trend-driven designs, our collection is built to give you options that feel fresh and inspired. And with custom services that go beyond rentals, we help you create moments that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.
What is your ideal client like?
Our perfect clients? The ones who want more than the standard. They’re not afraid to play with color, texture, or scale, and they’re looking for partners who can keep up with their vision. They know the right rentals can transform a room and they trust us to bring the expertise, the creativity, and the edge to make it happen.
How do you work with couples to bring their wedding dreams to life?
We start with your story: who you are, what you love, and how you want your wedding to feel. From there, our event specialists guide you through the process with curated options, design inspiration, and expert advice. Using tools like our seasonal lookbooks, you can see how different pieces come together long before the big day. Behind the scenes, our skilled crew handles the logistics so you can focus on the joy of celebrating.
