About Us

The Studio Behind the Style.

Bali Llama Event Rentals is a boutique event rental studio rooted in the rich landscapes of southern Mississippi. We exist to make beautiful events more accessible, more sustainable, and infinitely more personal.

Alfred Parker, founder
Meet the Founder

Alfred Parker

Alfred founded Bali Llama in 2014 after years of collecting vintage furniture from estate sales across the Gulf Coast. What started as a weekend hobby — restoring an old velvet loveseat in his garage — quickly grew into a passion for transforming spaces.

Today, Alfred personally curates every piece in the inventory and oversees the styling of major events. His belief is simple: an event should feel like a place, not a setup. Each item should carry a story, a texture, a sense of having been loved before.

"I don't sell rentals. I lend objects that have lived a hundred lives — and I let them tell one more." — Alfred Parker

Our Values

What We Stand For.

Sustainable by Design

Every piece in our collection is sourced second-hand, restored locally, and rented to extend its life — not landfilled.

Hands-On Craft

We polish, reupholster, and steam every item ourselves before it ever reaches your event.

Personal Service

You'll work directly with Alfred or one of our two-person styling team — never a faceless inbox.

Slow Style

We design moods that feel timeless, not trendy. Your photos will still feel right ten years from now.

Local First

Based in Wiggins, MS — proudly serving Gulfport, Hattiesburg, Mobile, New Orleans, and beyond.

Reliable Always

On-time delivery, secure setup, and clear communication — every single event.
