We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Manny Habibian a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Manny, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
When my brother and I founded our event business in 2018, it was born out of a combination of passion, creativity, and a keen observation of a gap in the market. The inception of our business idea was fueled by a desire to provide a one-stop solution for event organizers, addressing the diverse needs and preferences of our clients.
The concept evolved organically as we recognized the challenges people faced in organizing memorable events. We noticed that many individuals and organizations struggled to find comprehensive event services that seamlessly integrated various elements like photobooths, lighting, casino games, DJ services, and other event rentals. This realization sparked our entrepreneurial spirit, driving us to create a business that would simplify the event planning process and elevate the overall experience for our clients.
The journey began with a shared passion for events and a commitment to delivering unparalleled services. We immersed ourselves in the world of events, attending gatherings, networking with professionals, and identifying what clients frequently encountered and needed. This hands-on approach allowed us to empathize with our target audience and understand their needs intimately. We are a boutique event company and provide quality events at all times!
The excitement stemmed from the realization that we were not just starting a business; we were creating a solution that addressed a real need in the market. The joy of transforming ordinary events into unforgettable memories for our clients fueled our determination.
In essence, our venture was driven by a combination of passion, market insight, and the genuine desire to make event rentals stress-free and enjoyable for our clients. The logic behind our confidence was rooted in the belief that we were offering something truly unique – a boutique service that made every client feel important in every step of the process.
As we embark on this interview, I can’t help but reflect on the journey that brought us here. It’s a testament to the power of identifying a need, having a passion for what you do, and the commitment to delivering excellence in every aspect of your business. In the vibrant tapestry of our event business, my wife is the master weaver, intricately crafting unforgettable experiences as our creative director. Her boundless creativity, keen eye for detail, and unwavering dedication bring magic to every event we touch. Grateful for her brilliance in turning dreams into reality.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Building a strong reputation within our market has been a combination of genuine connections and a commitment to exceptional customer service. I believe that the personal touch of engaging with people, sharing my passion for our event business during conversations, has played a significant role in establishing our brand.
The joy I derive from interacting with people naturally led to discussions about our small event rental business. This organic approach allowed potential clients to connect with the authenticity of our services. The happiness and enthusiasm generated during these conversations became a catalyst for positive word-of-mouth marketing.
Moreover, the emphasis on responsiveness has been a cornerstone of our customer service philosophy.

In essence, our reputation has been built on the foundation of genuine connections, personal engagement, and a customer-centric approach. Every conversation serves as an opportunity to not just promote our business but to create lasting connections and leave a positive impression that resonates within our market.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
The heartbeat of our client acquisition has undoubtedly been word of mouth.

This organic form of endorsement not only strengthens our brand recognition but also serves as a testament to the quality of service we consistently provide.
