Faithfully serving Central Oregon and the surrounding region, Event Elegance is your one-stop celebration emporium for nearly any occasion imaginable. Their full-service equipment rental enterprise is primed and ready to provide everything from tables, chairs, tents, arbors and beverage bars to lighting, linens, flowers, games and even dance floors.
Owners Dave and Bobbie Bashian recently took over Event Elegance and the longtime area residents are keeping up the company’s sterling reputation of delivering reliable support and logistics for planning and successfully pulling off any number of bespoke gatherings including weddings, anniversaries, trade shows and birthdays.
“I’m born and raised here and Dave came here when he was five, so we’re very, very local,” Bobbie tells Cascade Business News. “We’ve raised our two kids here and we’ve always owned our own business and have an entrepreneurial spirit. This business was presented to us and we were excited to acquire it and give back to our community. Event Elegance has been in business for quite some time, but we took over just last month, in April of 2026.”
Their vision for Event Elegance maintains that each special event is unique, from intimate remembrances to large corporate meetings. Their hassle-free process takes customers from comprehensive consultations and all through planning, delivery and pick-up. While they do not feature a brick-and-mortar showroom, everything is available to view on their official website.
One of the new things the Bashians added to the company regarding operations is a fantastic way to bring smiles to Central Oregon by repurposing some of the happenings’ decorations.
“After weddings and parties, we noticed that a lot of stuff just goes right in the garbage,” she notes. “So now if anyone leaves fresh flowers, we kindly ask them to keep them to the side and we collect them and take them to area nursing homes and assisted living facilities.”
Basic Event Elegance services include free delivery and pick-up. Everything is available a-la-carte and set-up can be arranged if needed. They can handle anything from a little kid’s first birthday to an elaborate 400-person wedding. There’s no minimum or maximum size order.
Something the Bashians did not expect coming from other endeavors is how friendly and helpful the event rental business is, and that each competitor is happy to assist to everyone’s benefit.
“It’s like a collaborative situation,” Bobbie adds. “We’ve met several of the other competitors locally and it’s so much fun in that way that everybody works together. If we don’t have something, someone else has it, or vice versa. That was surprising to me and it’s been amazing. The best part is being involved in so many events and to give customers that stress-free moment. We’re looking forward to a busy summer and continuing to grow the business and make the brand more well-known. Being new owners, it’s all about making the business ours. Plus, we get to see some really super cool places that are right here in our own backyard. Sometimes after we set up I don’t want to leave. I just want to stay for the party!”
