R & D Events is a Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based event rental and planning company serving clients across the entire state. From intimate backyard celebrations to large corporate events and trade shows, our experienced team delivers, installs and manages every detail so you can focus on what matters most.
We are proud to serve local hospitals, banks, manufacturing companies and many other corporate and private clients throughout the Cedar Rapids metro area and beyond. Our mission is simple — handle every client request with outstanding quality and exceptional customer service.
R & D Events was founded with a single goal — to bring professional-grade event rental services to Iowa families, businesses and organizations at an honest and affordable price. Our founding team brings over twenty years of hands-on event industry experience, including years spent with Spielman’s Event Services, one of Iowa’s most respected event companies.
That deep industry background means our crew knows how to handle events of any scale — from a 50-person backyard graduation to a multi-tent corporate expo serving thousands. We bring that same level of professionalism and attention to detail to every single job we take on.
R & D Events is a true one-stop shop for event rentals in Iowa. We carry an extensive inventory of tents, tables, chairs, linens, décor, lighting, pipe & drape, portable bars and more — all delivered, set up and removed by our professional crew.
We also specialize in wedding and event décor, working closely with couples and event planners to bring their vision to life. Our team can create CAD floor plan layouts to help organize large venues and complex multi-tent setups.
Our client list spans a wide range of industries and occasions. We are proud to work with hospitals, banks, manufacturing companies, universities and municipalities — as well as the families and couples behind Iowa’s most memorable celebrations.
