Acquisition Furthers Classic’s Growth in Northern California

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Classic Party Rentals, the leading event rental company in the U.S., announced the acquisition of Napa, California-based La Bella Party Rental Company. Since its inception in 2004, La Bella has been a market leader in Napa and Sonoma.

Specializing in high-end china, stemware, flatware and linen rentals, La Bella has supported a wide-range of prestigious events in the area, including Auction Napa Valley, Hands Across the Valley, Mustard Festival, Sonoma Valley Museum of Art Masked Ball, Salute to the Arts and Premier Napa Valley.

“We are thrilled to add La Bella to the Classic family,” said John Campanelli, CEO of Classic Party Rentals. “Betsy and Herb Stone, founders of La Bella, have developed a terrific company, offering trendsetting tabletop inventory in the heart of Napa Valley. We have supported the Napa/Sonoma area from our San Francisco store for many years, and the addition of La Bella to our Northern California network strengthens our commitment to California’s wine country.”

Classic will continue to serve the area from La Bella’s Napa showroom and warehouse and its St. Helena showroom. Betsy and Herb Stone will remain with Classic as business consultants, and Casey Stone will serve as the location’s Operations Manager. Susan Kidwell, General Manager of Classic San Francisco, will assume an expanded role which will include leadership of Napa Valley operations.

“Classic is the perfect partner to help La Bella continue its rapid growth,” said Stone. “They have the experience to take the business to the next level, and we are confident Classic will take great care of our clients and employees. Adding tenting capabilities is the next logical step for La Bella, especially with Classic being the leading tenting company in the industry.”
