About us

Hi — we’re Carly and Tom, the husband-and-wife team behind Serenity + Love Event Rentals.

Serenity + Love started with a simple passion for creating beautiful spaces and meaningful moments. What began as a love for design and hosting has grown into a full-service event rental business serving the Quad Cities and surrounding Iowa/Illinois areas.

Carly is the creative heart of Serenity + Love. She handles design concepts, client consultations, styling, florals, and all the pretty details that bring your vision to life. From planning layouts to curating décor collections, Carly works closely with each client to create events that feel intentional, romantic, and uniquely you.

Tom is the backbone of operations. He manages deliveries, setups, breakdowns, logistics, and inventory — making sure everything arrives on time and is perfectly placed. His behind-the-scenes work keeps every event running smoothly so clients can focus on enjoying their day.

Together, we combine creativity with reliability to provide thoughtfully curated rentals, personalized service, and stress-free experiences. Whether you’re planning a wedding, shower, party, or special celebration, we’re honored to be part of your story.
