Our Story

Get to know how our family business started five decades ago!

Any Occasion Tents & Events celebrated its grand opening in 2001. However, the traditions of this rental business date back over 50 years. Located next to sister company: Aztec Rental Center, a family owned construction rental business that opened in 1965 by Lester and Wanda Sorsby. Their children Carol, Rick and Lester along with nearly the entire third generation of Sorsbys are in the family businesses. Three of the grandsons Brian, Eric and Gary are at Aztec Rental Center, while granddaughters Lynne and Kelley are running Any Occasion™. As the companies have grown, the family strives to keep the original priorities of superior customer service, good business ethics, and respect for every member of our team. Every client is important and events are made personal. It’s not just a job, its a family reputation.

As confusing as the story may seem and with other rental companies in the city having similar names, it is simple. The same family at the same location has provided reliability and service for construction and event rentals that Houston has counted on for over fifty years.
