Northern Kentucky’s Tent Rental and Event Company — Built on 25 Years of Trust
When Starting Gate ( formerly Bingham’s Tent Rental ) opened in 1999, the promise was simple: show up on time, set up right, and charge a fair price. For more than 25 years, that promise held — through backyard graduation parties and 500-person wedding receptions, church festivals and corporate picnics, from Covington to Burlington and everywhere in between.
Starting Gate Events is what comes next. Same local ownership. Same reliable crew. Same no-pressure approach Northern Kentucky has counted on for a generation — now with an expanded lineup of event services, rides, games, and entertainment available through our network, and a broader vision for what an outdoor event in this region can look and feel like.
Whether you’re hosting an intimate rehearsal dinner in Newport, a company picnic in Florence, or a community festival in Erlanger — we bring the tent, the rides, the planning, and 25 years of hard-earned experience to every single event we touch.
