... & Party Supplies

Sometimes its easy to leave off the "...& Party Supplies" from our name. It makes sense. We do tents extremely well. O'Neil has over 120 years experience constructing tents and temporary structures in the Midwest. It's safe to say we've been around the block a time or two. Leaving off the rest of the company name is easy, but incorrect. O'Neil is so much more than just tents.


Rather than force our customers to work with a handful of rental shops around town for their event, its logical to offer as much event equipment as makes sense under one roof. Some people use the cliche, "One stop party shop", to describe their business. While this saying is somewhat true of O'Neil it doesn't really capture all of our capabilities. Full service event equipment rental shop is much more accurate (although it doesn't rhyme or sound as catchy).


If we were to tell you that we provide equipment for events like the Dublin Irish Festival. The assumption would be that we provide tenting. That would be true, but its not the whole story. The Dublin Irish Festival has grown over the years to become the largest gathering of its kind in the country. O'Neil Tents & Party Supplies has been there every step of the way to accommodate the expansion. Because of our wide variety of rental inventory, we provide hundreds of tables, thousands of chairs, staging for performance areas, and much more. We are a proud sponsor of the Dublin Irish Festival and can't wait for this August when it opens again!


Another illustration of the importance of the party supplies are fundraising events like the one held annually at Columbus Bishop Hartley High School. Every year, Hartley holds its fundraiser to support its tuition assistance fund. O'Neil provides hundreds of chairs and dozens of tables for the event. On top of the tables and chairs, we provide a full table service of dishware, barware and silverware. Along with those food service items, O'Neil also helps with setting up bars and skirting, pipe and drape to hide the bleachers, and linen service. When it's all said and done, Hartley is able to raise funds for its programs and we help them do it in style!


Surely the"...& Party Supplies" portion of our company name is important.While it may be over-looked sometimes, these are the services that allow O'Neil to be a "full service equipment rental shop". We doubt that tag line will catch on. It's okay with us though, just so long as our customers know we can handle all of their equipment rentals without a problem.
