David Handy and Donald Dallaire of Handy & Dallaire Events and The Event Rental Co. (theeventrentalco.com) are setting a new standard for island gatherings with their lived-in, yet elevated feel. The Event Rental Co.’s inventory reflects the familiar, layered, timeless style that the pair is known for, offering pieces that evoke a feeling of collection rather than coordination. “It’s event design with the warmth and comfort of home, thoughtfully curated for unforgettable experiences,” says the duo. Much of their inventory is custom-made to ensure that each piece fits seamlessly into a client’s vision, creating a welcoming, personalized ambiance that invites guests to settle in and stay a while.
A NOTE FROM H&D: For those redefining what elevated entertaining looks like, The Event Rental Co. offers a new kind of destination. Their Nantucket showroom is not simply a place to browse—it’s a curated experience, where design, craftsmanship, and modern coastal elegance converge.
Every piece is selected with intention. From sculptural seating and architectural bars to rare linens, refined tabletop collections, and artisanal accents, the inventory is designed to layer beautifully—creating spaces that feel warm, collected, and quietly luxurious.
What sets The Event Rental Co. apart is their philosophy: luxury should feel livable. Their approach blends timeless silhouettes with contemporary ease, resulting in environments that are polished yet welcoming, elevated yet effortless.
