about us

Rooted in Family.
Built on Celebration.

A Local Team with a Love for Celebration

Rooted in Manotick. Celebrating Across Ottawa.

Grainger Events is a family-run event rental company based in Manotick and proudly serving Ottawa and the surrounding areas. What started as a simple backyard Christmas under a tent sparked a bigger idea: that with the right rentals, and the right people, any gathering can become something unforgettable.

Geoff brings deep industry experience. The rest of the family brings design instincts, a love of hosting, and a whole lot of heart. Together, we’ve built Grainger Events around a few simple ideas:

  • Style matters.
  • Service matters more.
  • And the best moments in life deserve to be celebrated fully.

Whether we’re dropping off cocktail tables in Carp or styling a full event space in Orleans, we show up ready to listen, help, and make your life easier.
