ELLIE NOTTOLI of elliestyled and Mary Hess of Trend Event Rentals collaborated for the first time when hired to create a backyard movie night party. Under the stars, they created a magical experience for guests to lounge and linger, nosh, and imbibe. They sat at Trend’s floor tables surrounded by floor pillows and slingback chairs. elliestyled layered in rugs, poufs, florals and details, alongside the requisite screen and projector. Together, Mary and Ellie set the scene.

Hess and Nottoli met in 2019 as Hess was exploring the idea of starting a new event rentals business. Nottoli was thrilled. Honoring the concept of “community over competition,” she and Hess traded notes and ideas, discovering gaps in the local market. They now often work together to create exquisite events.

Bringing in rental items to an event—no matter how large or small—can change the energy and transform a space. It assists in storytelling as well as serving a functional need. elliestyled’s rental inventory consists of decorative accessories and embellishments, while Trend Event Rentals provides the backbone boutique furnishings: bars, shelves, tables, and chairs. Trend’s eclectic pieces bring an unexpected twist and level up the charm.
