Curated Events has bought Montana Party Rentals, giving a 30-year Bozeman event-rental brand a bigger national back end while keeping its local leadership in place.
The deal puts Montana Party Rentals inside Curated Events’ portfolio at a busy moment for Montana’s destination-wedding, private-club, ranch and resort-event business. No financial terms were disclosed.
Montana Party Rentals was founded in 1996 by Jill Redmon, her brother Troy Redmon and their close friend Scott Schwartz. What began as a home-based rental operation has grown into a specialty events company serving venues, luxury hospitality properties, private clubs and milestone celebrations across Montana and the wider Mountain West.
Redmon will continue to lead the Bozeman business locally. The company’s full-time and seasonal teams are also staying under the same leadership structure, while the brand adds access to Curated Events’ inventory and production network.
For planners and hosts, the most visible change is the return of premium tenting, a service the announcement described as one of the market’s most requested. Montana Party Rentals will work with Skyline Tent Company, part of the Curated Events group, to support larger and more complex events across the region.
The acquisition also expands the Bozeman company’s access to custom event furnishings, structures, tabletop items, linens, scenic and environmental pieces, technical support and production services. That matters for the kinds of high-touch events Montana is drawing: multi-day weddings, club gatherings, hospitality activations and large private celebrations where logistics can be as important as the look.
Redmon said local relationships remain central to the business, adding that Curated Events brings “talent, resources, and infrastructure” while Montana Party Rentals keeps its service standards and community ties.
Curated Events has been building a broader luxury event platform through brands including Casa de Perrin, Skyline Tent Company, See-Hear Productions and Curated Linen Collection. The Charleston, South Carolina-headquartered company lists a presence in Charleston, Charlotte, Chesapeake, the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia region, Nashville, Raleigh, Savannah and newer West Coast markets.
Tasha Eady, Curated Events’ senior vice president of sales, said the company has seen demand rise in Montana and the West over the past five years. She said access to Skyline’s tenting and infrastructure, combined with tabletop, linens, scenic elements and technical services, is intended to make larger regional events easier to produce.
The added premium tenting for Montana events is likely to be a key piece of the deal for venues and planners working in open-air settings, where weather, terrain and scale can complicate production. The announcement also pointed to continuing demand from destination weddings, private clubs, ranches and resort properties.
Dave Paulus, CEO of Curated Events, said the company saw value in the trust Redmon and her team had built over three decades. Montana Party Rentals will also continue its relationships with local communities, properties, industry partners, civic groups and nonprofit organizations.
The result is a bigger toolkit for a familiar Bozeman name. Montana Party Rentals keeps its local face, while Curated Events gets a stronger foothold in one of the West’s most active luxury-event markets.
