We Are PLAY Event Rentals.
WE MADE Renting Sound, Lighting, Visuals, and DJ Equipment So Easy, All You Need To Do Is PLAY.
Since our founding, PLAY Event Rentals has been committed to meeting the needs of individuals, event planners, companies, bands, DJs, and sound professionals with exceptional service, expert advice, valuable knowledge, and reliable sound equipment. Here’s how we got here:
It all began with an email in 2009.
A year earlier, our founder, Tony Schwartz, had served as the MC & DJ for Josh and Katrina’s wedding at a private residence in Edgewood, WA. After the event, a family member of Josh and Katrina reached out to Tony, asking about rates for a small party she was hosting. The cost of DJ services was out of her budget, so she asked a simple question: “What about a plug-and-play sound system for my iPod?” And just like that, the Puget Sound’s first DIY iPod sound system company, iDJ Rentals, was born.
It was an overnight success, with Tony quickly filling his garage with six sound systems that were rented out every weekend.
As demand grew, so did the need for additional audio/visual equipment. Requests for lapel microphones, lighting systems, projectors, screens, and uplights soon followed. Outgrowing the original brand, Tony rebranded iDJ Rentals into Puget Sound Pro Audio Rental and opened the doors to the company’s first public office: a 90-square-foot space inside The Hansen Building on Pioneer Ave in Puyallup.
As the company’s reputation and customer base grew, so did the need for more space. After months of searching, we found the perfect location: a 1,250-square-foot office/warehouse just down the street at 1416 E Main, Suite N in Puyallup. This location served as our headquarters until 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a move to a private warehouse location.
As our company evolved from a pro audio rental service to a full-service audio/visual/lighting/DJ rental and production company, it became clear that a rebrand was needed. In 2017, Puget Sound Pro Audio Rental became PLAY Event Rentals. While our name changed, our vision, mission, and core values have remained the same: to provide industry-standard equipment and customer service that surpasses our competitors..
Simply put, our customers aren’t just working with an A/V vendor – they are working with an event partner.
