About Modern Event Rental

On your show floor, the furniture is the brand.

For over 16 years, Modern Event Rental has been the furniture partner behind unforgettable events — designed, built, and delivered by us, from a single branded bar to a full general-session buildout. New York to Miami, D.C. to Denver, and every Texas show floor in between.

You already know the risk

You've been let down by a furniture vendor before.

The delivery that slipped. The "premium lounge" that showed up scuffed and road-worn. The rep who didn't know what drayage was — so you ended up managing the vendor on top of managing the show.

It sounds like the last thing you need is one more thing to babysit on load-in day.

That's the exact problem we built Modern Event Rental to take off your plate.

Everyone works. No one quits.

Not a slogan on a wall — the rule every job runs on. From the owner to the newest hand on the crew, no one is above the load-in and no one leaves a job half-done.

Our story

Built from the event floor up.

Modern Event Rental grew out of the event floor itself. Founder Siddarth Sawhney came up on the production side of live events, and kept running into the same gap: clients wanted statement pieces the rental market simply didn't offer. So he set out to build them. With a single truck and a storage unit, Modern Event Rental began.

The first piece was the LED bar. Rather than wait on a supplier, we fabricated our own — and it worked. So we built the next thing, and the next: illuminated lounge seating, pedestals, scenic and accent pieces. Every build taught us more about where we fit best, and the catalog grew from the floor up — one real-world need at a time.

Then COVID shut the events world down overnight. We endured it the hard way — no favors, no shortcuts — and came out with the same owned inventory, the same standards, and a team that had proven it could weather anything. Sixteen-plus years later, that's still who shows up to your load-in.

Designed, built, and delivered by us — coast to coast.
What sets us apart

Built for the work — nothing else.

Built for scale & execution

We're set up for the large, complex jobs — full booths, lounges, and general sessions — where reliability isn't a nice-to-have, it's the whole job.

We own it, so we care for it

No sub-rentals, no surprises. Every item is inspected, cleaned, and prepped before it ships, then packed and transported the right way so it arrives undamaged. From a sofa to a stanchion or frame holder, it lands clean and show-ready — never scuffed, never road-worn.

We build what we rent

It started with a bar we fabricated ourselves, and we never stopped. We design and build custom pieces and full environments that carry your client's brand — with renderings up front, so you know exactly what will land on the floor.

Delivery, setup & strike — nationwide

Full-service logistics to every major market in the country. One booth or an entire general session, our crew makes sure everything arrives on time and show-ready — and disappears just as cleanly when the show closes.

We speak your language

Drayage, marshaling yards, targeted move-in, strike windows — we came up on the production side, so you're not explaining the basics to your furniture vendor.

Quality you can put in front of a client

Real materials, solid construction, and condition we stand behind. The piece your guests see is the piece we built to a standard and maintain to it — because on your floor, the furniture is the brand.

Who we work with

The teams behind the experience.

  • Experiential & brand agencies creating activations that need to look and feel on-brand.
  • Trade-show & exhibit producers managing booths, lounges, and general sessions.
  • Corporate event & meeting planners building galas, conferences, and internal events.

Your name is on that floor. So is ours. We treat it that way.

Nationwide, not nationwide-ish

Every major market. All 50 states.

Same premium inventory, same standards, same team accountability — wherever the show floor is. If your event has a load-in, we can be there.
