About Chris Riddell

Special Events of New England LLC began its history in 1989. It was started by Chris Riddell as a proprietorship, and eventually incorporated as an LLC. The company's roots actually began in 1972, when Mr. Riddell’s grandfather, Paul Riddell, opened a Taylor Rental franchise in Manchester. In 1973, that Taylor Rental franchise became the first company in the southern N.H. area to offer tent rentals.

Mr. Riddell had worked in the family business throughout his high school and college years, and after having received a degree in Computer Information Systems in the late 1980’s, he decided to pursue a career path in the tent and party rental industry. Thus, he started Special Events of New England LLC to have a 100% focused party rental operation.

From 1989 to 2002, Special Events of New England LLC operated out of the Taylor Rental franchise in Manchester. During 2002, a new showroom in Auburn, NH was undertaken to better display our products and meet with our customers.

Today, Chris Riddell offers his many years of experience in the rental business to advise clients and provide high-quality rentals to meet his clients' needs.

Special Events of New England LLC is a member of the American Rental Association and the Industrial Fabrics Association International - Tent Division.
