The rentals don’t lift themselves. As the muscle of our crew, they will always make sure your pieces are perfectly placed so you don’t have to lift a finger. They might even make you laugh while they do it.

MUSE BEHIND THE NAME:

OUR STORY

With a true entrepreneurial spirit, Meleka Jolliff started MMJ Events, a planning and design firm, back in 2009. While designing for her clients, Meleka felt Columbus, Ohio was in need of a speciality rental company—hence the start of Aiden & Grace in 2016 (from the basement and garage of the Jolliff home). Slowly but surely, the inventory began to grow and eventually consumed her family’s entire home, leading to A&G’s first (and very tiny) showroom. After settling into their first brick and mortar in 2018, A&G hasn't looked back!  With an evolving inventory selection and a growing client base, Sky Flower LLC was created in 2023 to be the umbrella over two flourishing businesses (and hopefully more to come 🤞🏼). Most notably, the Sky Flower LLC has allowed A&G to purchase it's first building in Columbus. With over 18,000 square feet of warehouse, studio, and office space, there are truly no limits to where these companies will go! 

Our family feels extremely blessed to own and operate this small business. We love our team and appreciate what each crew member brings to Aiden & Grace. We’ll never stop striving to make Columbus events a whole lot prettier, while simultaneously serving our clients with joy and excellence.
