MAKING EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR EVENT MEMORABLE Beginning in 1970, Paul Weidner learned the fledgling event rental business by delivering tables and chairs, setting up tents and listening to clients’ requests for more rental items. By 1978, Paul became a Manager and continued to develop new product lines as the company absorbed various small rental companies in the area. Paul worked his way through the ranks and was awarded the title of General Manager around 1983. By this time, the rental business had grown from back yard events to supplying items for the ever growing Convention and Special Event market. As Orlando became the number one convention and visitor destination, Paul saw the future, and with the continued expansion of Kirby Rentals, became Vice President by the early 1990’s and President in 2001. To further the growth of the company, Paul, along with Robert Picerne, purchased the company in 2007. As the rental business grows, changes, and clients expect more service and products, Paul is at the helm of one of largest Special Event Support companies.
