According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses make up 99.9% of all U.S. businesses. What’s more, Utah has been credited as the most pro-small business state in America, thanks to our state’s pro-business initiatives and support systems. Each month, the Salt Lake Chamber will highlight a small business in Utah to emphasize its importance in our economy and encourage local support.
Since its founding in 2006, Colorado Party Rentals has provided exceptional event products and services across Denver, New Mexico and now Utah. With the launch of its Salt Lake City location in 2023, operating as Summit Party Rentals, the company continues to grow its reach. Backed by nearly two decades of experience, they remain a trusted source for trendy, high-quality event rentals throughout the Rocky Mountain region.
Business Development Manager Liz Mallen highlights the strength of the team at Summit Party Rentals. “We’re all cross-trained and wear multiple hats, allowing us to step in wherever needed — whether it’s setting up a tent, attending a networking event, writing a contract or meeting with a client. Our team is dedicated to delivering the best and we always go above and beyond to make it happen.”
Summit Party Rentals stands out not only for its skilled team but also for its expansive inventory. With four large warehouses and a constantly moving stock, they provide a wide range of high-quality equipment that helps create memorable events. “What sets us apart is not just our team, but our ability to deliver almost anywhere — and to deliver well,” Mallen adds.
The team’s passion for delivering exceptional service comes from their deep care for their clients and their work. “We’re not just planning events — we’re creating lasting memories,” Mallen explains. “That’s what drives us every day.”
When asked about advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, Mallen stresses the importance of building a strong network. “Make sure everyone in your network knows what you do. If your close friends and family don’t know, you’re missing an opportunity. As a small business owner, it’s essential to get out into the community and make those connections.”
For Summit Party Rentals, it’s about more than just providing top-tier equipment; it’s about building lasting relationships and making each event a success, no matter the scale. Learn more about Summit Party Rentals’ mission and services here.
