History

Established in 1973.

It all started as a small tool & party rental business called, «Taylor Rental Center Party Plus.»

After 20 years working together with our fantastic, loyal customers, we had grown to three locations, a large staff, and a huge inventory of everything from power tools to tents.

With a growing number of services, and a need for more storage space, it made sense to separate the powertool and equipment-​driven Taylor Rental from the event planning and party rental business.

In 2003, we bought a 107,000 sq. ft. building on the corner at 200 East Superior Street in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana, and A Party Apart was born.

Today, we’re proud to say that we’re more involved than ever with the community and local businesses. Wit a dedication to customer service and keeping up with the latest trends, our staff plays a central part in putting on the area’s biggest events, from creating a bride’s dream wedding, to running events for local charities, and participating in city events like German Fest.
