About us
Oregon-born and built for any weather — a crew that sizes it, prices it, and shows up ready.
Our story
Oregon Event and Tent grew out of Barbur Rentals, a Portland-area rental company with 70+ years of rental experience. We've evolved from a sporting goods rental company to small equipment, to large equipment to event rentals. Rather than rely on temporary, seasonal, or otherwise inexperienced labor, we opt to keep our crew year-round. With the average employee having over 10+years experience!
Third generation-family owned and operated since we opened, we have a personal stake in ensuring your satisfaction with our service. We try to do as much business as possible the old fashioned way. We don't blindside anyone with fees or charges like other companies. What we quote you is what you pay!
We don't have call centers and we don't offload our work. There is four possible people who answer the phone and someone ready to help 7 days a week. We hear horror stories of other companies cancelling or not showing up to delivery every season. Rest assured, if we take your order, you're in good hands!
What we stand on
Weather doesn't cancel our promises. We plan for wind, rain, and cold from the first site visit, so the plan still holds when the forecast turns. We've worked in every corner of the state from forest wild fires to the snow of Mt. Bachelor to the windy coast, we've been there!
Every install starts on location — measuring the ground, the access, and the layout before we quote a thing. What we bid is what we build. You're not obligated to anything, we don't sell anyone's information and we won't harass you afterwards if you decide to not proceed.
Short weekend weddings or year-long site enclosures, we handle it with the same crew and the same care. No job is too small to matter or too big to handle.
We show up when we say we will, we set up what we quoted, and we leave your site clean. Simple, and not everyone does it.
The team
We don't hand your project off to strangers. The crew that quotes your job is the crew that stakes the tent, hangs the gutters, and fires the heaters — backed by the rental inventory and shop at Barbur Rentals.
Site visits and quotes handled by the installers themselves — no middlemen
