We’re Honored to Be Named a 2025 Market Mover
Jun 13, 2025
This year, iRentEverything was named a 2025 Market Mover by the American Rental Association, placing first in the entire event rental segment. It’s an honor that reflects years of work, countless events, and the kind of commitment that only comes from loving what we do. We’re incredibly proud of this recognition and even more thankful for the clients, vendors, and teammates who helped us grow along the way.
Growth That Came from Showing Up
Our owner, Jonathan Proto, summed it up perfectly in the ARA’s feature: “I would DJ at night and load trucks the next morning.” That same all-in mindset still fuels everything we do. Jonathan never aimed to be the fastest-growing rental company in the country. He just focused on doing right by every client and every event, no matter how small or how complex. That consistency is what helped us build real trust and steady growth.
More Than Numbers
Being named a Market Mover means more than just growth statistics. It reflects the way we operate day after day. Jonathan put it simply: “Our growth is a byproduct of delivering, working with our clients, and just trying to get better.” There were no shortcuts or big breaks. Just a steady rhythm of hard work, adaptability, and listening to what our clients needed. When they asked for more services, we said yes. When they called last minute, we showed up. That’s what earned us this recognition.
One Client at a Time
Jonathan shared in the ARA article, “We were getting hired and re-hired. That was our sign that we were doing something right.” Every event became an opportunity to build a relationship. Clients came back again and again, and their trust fueled our ability to grow. What started as one gig turned into five. Five turned into a full weekend. And now, we’re serving events across the region and beyond.
Staying Grounded
Even as we’ve expanded our inventory and scaled our operations, we’ve never lost sight of what makes iRentEverything different. We still get excited to solve problems on-site. We still care about every detail, from chair counts to lighting placement. And we still believe that being part of someone’s big day is something to take seriously. “We know these events matter,” Jonathan said. “It’s personal to us.”
Looking Ahead
This award gives us a chance to pause and reflect. But it also motivates us to keep pushing forward. We’re adding more equipment, refining our processes, and staying focused on the same mission we’ve always had: make great events easier for our clients. Here’s what you can expect from us next:
- Expanded inventory: New tent sizes, lounge furniture, lighting options, and custom setups.
- Better logistics: More vehicles, more crew, and streamlined systems to get you set up faster.
- Same personal touch: A team that’s hands-on, responsive, and ready to adapt to your needs.
Gratitude First
“There are planners we’ve worked with since the beginning. They stuck with us through every phase,” Jonathan said. “This win is for them too.” We couldn’t agree more. This recognition is a shared one, and we’re thankful to everyone who’s booked with us, referred us, or rolled up their sleeves alongside us during setup. You helped make this possible.
