HOW WE DO IT
Client Intake. Discovering the essence of your vision.
The journey begins with a collaborative discovery process designed to understand your vision, brand, and objectives. Our team will connect with you to explore every detail of your event—whether it's a corporate gala or an intimate celebration. This is where we learn what inspires you, determine your needs, and start bringing your concept to life. Our personalized approach ensures we listen carefully and offer creative solutions that align with your goals, timeline, and budget.
Pre-Planning. Meticulous groundwork for a flawless experience.
In this phase, the magic takes shape as we put together a detailed plan that ensures no stone is left unturned. Our team of designers, event strategists, and project managers come together to create floor plans, concept designs, technical CAD drawings, and event timelines. We'll coordinate vendor partnerships, secure permits, and address every logistical detail—providing you with peace of mind and keeping the process transparent every step of the way. This is also when we finalize production schedules and provide you with a detailed overview of what to expect.
Production & Custom Fabrication. Craftsmanship that transforms ideas into reality.
This is where your vision begins to physically come to life. Our experienced production team, including custom fabricators and skilled artisans, work to create every element—from stage backdrops and branded signage to one-of-a-kind decor elements. Every piece is custom-designed to perfectly fit the unique personality of your event. We pride ourselves on flawless craftsmanship and innovative design, ensuring that each component is built with precision and quality, ready to be showcased at your event.
Installation and Removal. Seamless execution from start to finish.
The final phase encompasses the seamless execution of your event. Our dedicated installation team brings all the pieces together on-site, making sure everything is arranged precisely as planned. We handle all logistics, AV set-up, and troubleshooting to guarantee a smooth experience. Once the event is over, our team carefully dismantles and removes all elements, leaving the space as it was found. Our meticulous approach ensures that your event is memorable for all the right reasons, without you having to worry about the details of clean-up or removal.

I've had the pleasure of working with Hensley Event Resources on several events and have always been impressed by your professionalism and attention to detail. During a recent logistically-challenging event in multiple locations, including a redwood forest, your team went above and beyond, handling everything with grace. The custom fabrications and rentals were flawless, and the entire experience was exceptional. I highly recommend Hensley Event Resources.

LINDSAY LANDMAN
My experience with Hensley is always positive. Every person on the team works so hard and brings creativity to each project. We've done some really challenging projects in some challenging places and every time Hensley exceeds my expectations. Hensley always says yes and then they deliver on it. No matter the crazy idea I present for an event, Susan, Ryan, Israel and their whole team put their heads together and immediately think creatively about a solution. And it's usually even better than what I could have imagined. I always recommend Hensley, but specifically to my East Coast industry colleagues who aren't familiar with service providers on the West Coast. They are all so impressed by the breadth of services Hensley offers as there are so few companies who can compete.
STEPHANIE TEAGUE
I've worked with Hensley for over 10 years, and it's been incredible to watch their business evolve to meet the ever-changing demands of the market. What sets them apart is their willingness to go beyond their existing inventory — whether by creating or sourcing what's needed for my events, rather than forcing a fit with what they have. As a designer, this gives me an ever-expanding range of options to work with, which is a huge advantage.
STEPHANIE COLE

With their dependability and can-do attitude, Hensley has proven to be a trusted partner we can rely on year after year. From elegant tableware to custom furniture pieces and tenting structures, their wide range of offerings enhance each event. For clients seeking a professional and creative event rental company, Hensley Event Resources delivers on every detail.
JULIE DUNN
I have moved most of my rental business to Hensley Event Resources because of the exceptional customer service, prompt response, flexibility and customization options and the overall product. I would highly recommend Hensley Event Rentals for the product but most of all the incredible team that you get to work with from Susan Kidwell on customized tents and spaces to Arnie Kelber on logistics and orders the team is the best of the best. I always know my rentals are going to be set up properly, the product will be in exceptional shape and the install and strike are seamless. Thanks Hensley!
