Marianne's Rentals, a long-running, family-owned event-rental company out of Oklahoma City, is moving into South Central Tulsa with a sizable new showroom. The firm has leased about 18,149 square feet at 8532 E. 41st Street in a freestanding retail building near the BA Expressway, which will put a hefty stockpile of tents, tables, linens and lighting much closer to Tulsa planners and venues.
According to CoStar, Marianne's Rentals took the full 18,149-square-foot retail space at 8532 E. 41st St. in South Central Tulsa. The outlet notes that the property is a freestanding retail building that has been recently renovated.
Marianne's, which bills itself as "Oklahoma's largest selection of wedding and event rentals," is based in Oklahoma City and promotes statewide delivery along with a full showroom. Its online catalogue spotlights tents, tableware, lighting and decor that support weddings, festivals and corporate events throughout the state, Tulsa included.
The building and the space
The property is listed as 8532-8548 E. 41st St. and is marketed as a retail and flex block with contiguous suites running from roughly 8,091 to 18,149 square feet. The commercial listing dates the building to 1971 and shows an end-cap configuration that matches the space Marianne's is set to occupy, as reflected on LoopNet.
Why it matters for Tulsa planners
Because Marianne's already advertises statewide delivery and a large inventory, having a Tulsa showroom could shorten hauling distances and turnaround times for local planners and venues, which might trim delivery costs and speed up event set-up. That outcome is an inference based on the firm's stated service footprint and the scale of the leased space, and it is not something the company has explicitly promised. The Marianne's website emphasizes its extensive inventory and statewide delivery network. Marianne's Rentals
Dealmakers
Commercial listings and trade coverage cite brokerage involvement in the deal. Matt Surrett has marketed the suite on behalf of Rupe Properties, and trade reporting names Josh Love and Christian Funk of Price Edwards & Company as contacts tied to the transaction, according to CoStar.
The public commercial listing did not specify a move-in timeline or grand-opening date when the lease was reported, and the company's public pages likewise do not list an official storefront opening. Tulsa planners and venues are likely to see more direct access to Marianne's inventory once the space is built out and activated, although the precise timing will depend on tenant improvements and the firm's rollout schedule.
