Meet Patrick Hagerich

Hi everyone! I am Patrick Hagerich here at Classic Party Rentals of VA. I will be happy and honored to make your wedding day the day of your dreams. I have been planning events since graduating from college in 1986. I have worked for hotels, restaurants, private clubs, and even managed a bar–always on the event planning side of operations. I have called New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Richmond home in my professional capacity, with each city providing me with knowledge, experience, and creativity.

I like to keep current in the market with trends in decor, but (of course) always listening to my clients and what they really want and need to make their day special. You will find that I am not a cookie-cutter or one trick pony type of guy. We are going to have fun planning and executing the perfect event for you and your budget.

I am working at our South Side Warehouse location (9313 Burge Avenue in south Richmond) and I would love to meet you. We can play with the samples we have in our showroom, and then schedule an appointment to take selections to your venue and see what they can look like.

I look forward to working with each and every one of you.

Patrick Hagerich
Director of Bridal Services
