VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. â Even outdoor equipment rental companies felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, with closures and cancellations. But as restaurants scurried for find outdoor space for diners, tent rentals became big business. Now, over a year later, one outdoor event company in Virginia Beach is seeing a shift in demand.
Joann Daugherty, the owner of Affordable and Luxury Event Rentals, off Dam Neck Road, says they provide items for indoors; however, theyâre especially busy with outdoor events right now.
âWe do a lot of weddings. We do a lot with the hotels, a lot of corporate events, festivals, and also a lot with shipyards and bases. So, we kind of do a little bit of everything,â Daugherty explained. âWe have a lot of customers that come in for small table and chair pick-ups for backyard barbeques.â
