About Us

About Ideas Events & Rentals

Since 1992, under the direction of Founder & Creative Director, J. Riccardo Benavides, Ideas Events & Rentals has been the leading event décor and production company in the San Francisco Bay Area. Whether expressed in the skilled craftsmanship of custom fabricated builds, enduring design aesthetic or carefully curated furnishings, we strive to create environments uniquely tailored to each client.

Ideas Events & Rentals is equally versatile in themed, contemporary and traditionally designed events. Our approach is to go beyond decorating and to focus on every aspect of the event. With an extensive inventory of rentals, our designs contain a formula of elegant & transitional props. When it comes to Ideas, no detail goes overlooked.

Our Promise

We bring your ideas to life!

Good design is portraying the end user experience through a measured use of trend-forward furnishings, layouts that foster connectivity, activations that educate and engage clients, and innovation that conveys brand messaging. Be it an expo booth, multi-day conference, party, gala, reception, or a wedding, Ideas collaborates with clients cohesively to create a memorable experience.

As longtime members of the San Francisco events community, we are preferred vendors at The St Regis, Cityview Metreon, and San Francisco City Hall.
