CE Rental, Inc. Announces Recapitalization of Distinctive Event Rentals in Chesapeake, VA


CE Rental, Inc. (CE Rental), headquartered in Raleigh, NC, announced the recapitalization of Distinctive Event Rentals in Chesapeake, VA. Serving the Hampton Roads region including Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Newport News and beyond, Distinctive Event Rentals is known as the premier provider of corporate and social special event rentals.

Distinctive Event Rentals is the trusted partner for the region's top caterers, event planners, resorts, venues, and event professionals. Featuring a veteran and dedicated team, Distinctive's event specialists are well known for working closely with their clients through each step of the planning process.

"We are enthusiastic about the immediate synergies created between our existing event rental locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and the Distinctive Event Rentals team," said Bob Marshall, CEO at CE Rental. "Distinctive's established reputation for delivering the highest levels of customer service and quality equipment will expand our reach throughout the Southeast and enhance our ability to positively service our customers," Marshall added.

Bill Cabell, founder of Distinctive, echoed the excitement: "Over the past 23 years the Distinctive team has proudly been part of the Hampton Roads community and beyond. During this time we have seen the entire area grow in both population and caliber of events. As we continue to evolve, and now as part of the CE Rental family, Distinctive will continue to expand our product lines and inventory depth. This will now include structure tents, sailcloth tents, and enhanced flooring options from Skyline Tent Company; as well as many additional rental offerings from the other CE Rental locations in the Southeast." Cabell will remain with Distinctive and focus on strategic regional accounts and events in Hampton Roads and beyond.

"This partnership enables CE Rental to continue serving the entire Southeastern US as the leader for one-stop special event services," said Brent Paris, Managing Partner at Dubin Clark.
