Our Story: Where It All Began
"ATTENDING YOUR RECEPTIONS & DANCING TO YOUR TUNE SINCE 1949" — That’s more than just a motto for us; it’s the heart of who we are at Al Gervais Party Rentals. What began as a small family-run operation, delivering party essentials from the back of a station wagon, has grown into something much more. Back in those early days, we didn’t have fancy trucks or high-tech systems—just a love for helping people celebrate life’s moments. Today, we’ve grown from trailers and Eaton catalogue trucks to a fleet of five-ton vehicles equipped with GPS and a central dispatch team that keeps everything running smoothly. Through all of this growth, one thing has stayed the same: our dedication to being there for you, every step of the way.
Growing Together with You
Over the years, every event we've been part of has helped shape who we are, making us better at what we do. Today, our inventory has grown to over 2400 products, from essential items to those unique touches that make your event truly special. Whether you’re hosting a cozy backyard gathering or a large corporate event, we have everything you need to make it perfect, down to the last detail.
The Tent Rental Pioneers
In the 1980s, we became the first in Toronto to offer a complete tent rental package. Whether you’re planning a charming outdoor wedding or a large festival, our tents are designed to fit the vibe and scale of your event. Over the years, we’ve expanded our selection to ensure that you can find the perfect tent, no matter the occasion.
Your Partner for Memorable Corporate Events: Our Show Services Division
We understand that corporate events are about more than just logistics—they’re about creating an experience that leaves a lasting impression. That’s why we’ve built our Show Services Division around supporting you every step of the way. Whether you need a stage for a keynote, podiums for speeches, or a complete trade show setup, we’ll work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Our goal is simple: to take the pressure off your shoulders so you can focus on what really matters—connecting with your audience and making your event a success.
Here When You Need Us
At Al Gervais Party Rentals, we know that things don’t always go according to plan. That’s why we’ve expanded our hours to be there when you need us most—and even added a 24-hour emergency response line. We understand that events can sometimes take unexpected turns, and we’re here to make sure that whatever happens, your event still goes off without a hitch.
