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

Carrie has a unique experience as her first connection with Classic Party Rentals of Virginia was as a client in 2013! Since joining our team in 2015, she earned her CPCE credential (Certified Professional in Catering and Events) through the National Association for Catering and Events and her CERP credential (Certified Event Rental Professional) through the American Rental Association. She’s a proud 2010 Virginia Tech Alum and looks for any excuse to visit Blacksburg – GO HOKIES! She loves meeting new people and listening to ideas from different perspectives while working together as a team to pull off an extraordinary event. Referrals are the best compliment that can be given and she appreciates each one!

When she isn’t coordinating rentals, you can find her at Lake Gaston wakeboarding with her oldest son or on the beach playing in the sand with her youngest – no favoritism between fresh or salt water for her. She and her husband enjoy good conversation when they can squeeze it in and trying a new brewery or eatery in their new neighborhood of Virginia Beach (she happily accepts recommendations directly to her inbox – link to the left!)

Better yet – email her a recommendation and meet there to start planning your next event!

Hey, I’m Mikey Fuller! At Classic Party Rentals, I manage the business side of things as the Marketing & IT Coordinator and AR Administrator. In addition to overseeing our social media strategy and marketing efforts, I’m responsible for IT troubleshooting, managing day-to-day network and computer needs, and providing remote desktop support for our team. I also handle website management and content creation, including sourcing and editing photos/videos, writing copy, and managing our marketing campaigns across multiple platforms.

I still enjoy rolling up my sleeves and creating content when it’s needed—whether it’s crafting event videos or overseeing print ads and other marketing materials. My role also includes managing accounts receivable, ensuring timely payments from clients, working with the CFO and CEO to determine credit extension, and coordinating the logistics around late payment processes. I keep things running smoothly on the back end, making sure we’re hitting the right notes with our clients and partners.

Before CPR, I was the Operations Manager at an estate liquidation firm, ran a 10,000 sq. ft. antiques mall, and worked with DTI Global, handling office services for high-profile law firms in the Greater Richmond area. When I’m not making sure everything is in order at work, you’ll find me behind the piano or organ as the Director of Music and accompanist at a local church. For nearly 30 years, I’ve been lucky to perform at weddings, fundraisers, concerts, and all kinds of special events.

Born and raised in South Carolina, Lorenza is our Warehouse Operations Manager. He oversees our warehouse operations, making sure that from the point of rental to time of delivery, that things flow smoothly. From managing inventory, systems and people, Lorenza is determined to ensure that Classic Party Rentals puts out the best quality of products to its clients, so they can “Keep the Freakin’ Out for the Dance Floor!”. In his spare time, Lorenza enjoys spending time with his family and friends, graphic design, reading literature on Leadership, and, most importantly, serving in his local church.

Corey Chambers has been with CPR since 2002. Chambers is a Richmond native. He, wife, and daughter love everything RVA has to offer.

His favorite part of the job is helping to make someone’s special event something they will always remember. He loves his co-workers and looks forward to the future here at Classic. In his free time, Chambers plays golf, video games, and spends time with his family.
