We were thrilled to connect with Lakesha & Laura Armstrong and are excited to share our conversation with you below!
Hi Lakesha & Laura, how has your background shaped and your decision to start a business?
Hey there! I'm Lakesha "Kesh Monae" Armstrong, and I grew up in Liberty City, Miami, FL. Back when schools were integrating through special programs, I used to spend 1.5 hours commuting to school every day. I was super into performing arts and absolutely loved it. High school was a blast—it gave me the chance to travel and make friends with all sorts of people.
My wife, Laura Armstrong, is a Georgia native. She went to Roswell High School and is a proud Roswell mom, neighbor, and community member. We both are! She was also really into performing arts.
We're just two creative souls chasing our dreams and always on the lookout for a reason to throw a great party. After hosting so many parties and hearing people ask if we did it professionally, my wife suggested, "Why don't we just do this for a living and get into the party business?"
So, in 2020, we started Rainbow Party Rentals, and by 2022, after the pandemic, we rebranded to Rainbow Party Events Atlanta.
Rainbow Party Events Atlanta is your go-to for all things party-related! Whether it's birthdays, weddings, corporate shindigs, or festivals, we've got you covered. We've put together the "backyard party bundle" to bring awesome events right to your backyard, no matter where you are in metro, suburban, or rural Atlanta. Our services take the hassle out of event planning. We're part of cool networks like the American Rentals Association (ARA) and the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce. Plus, with some help from a SCORE Atlanta mentor, we've navigated the ups and downs of starting up.
Kicking things off just two months before a pandemic wasn't the best timing, but it gave us a chance to rethink our game plan. We shifted our focus to DIY planners who often get overlooked by our competitors, coining, crafting, & conquering the market for the Backyard Bundle patron. This change is what we believe will make Rainbow Party Events Atlanta a lasting success, bringing us into the homes and minds of anyone planning a party.
