Preferred Vendor List, the Event Resource Guide by ProAdvance
We know how challenging event production work can be, since we face that challenge every day on behalf of our clients. We owe part of our success to our project partners --the companies we hire for event rental equipment, technical services and other support. Their high quality products and services benefit our clients.
We like to help those who help us, and the companies listed below have all done excellent work for our clients. If your project requires these event services, we highly recommend these companies. Contact us if you have questions about a particular vendor. And when you do contact them, tell them that ProAdvance recommended you! If you need a resource not listed below, call us and we'll see if we can help.
