How it all began…
It all started in the year 2000 when Diana Bair, CEO/Owner of Beyond Elegance, retired from her career of 34 years in the telecommunication industry. Mixed feelings came along with her retirement. You see, she is not the type of person to sit around and watch tv all day long. Her enjoyment is working. She needed something small to keep her busy.
Around the time of her retirement her youngest daughter of three was getting married. This is where the chair covers came into play. The middle daughter had chair covers at her wedding, so of course there were going to have them at this wedding. Instead of renting them, she decided to buy them. This could be her side business, something small to keep her busy after retirement.
With the help of her three daughters, Angela, Stacia, & Lindsa, Diana created Beyond Elegance in 2001. And as luck would have it, something small turned into something a lot bigger than one could handle. It began with 150 chair covers and now has thousands of chair covers. Along with chair covers comes the chair sashes and a room full of any color of linen that you can imagine. We also offer wall & ceiling draping, uplighting, small decor items, lighted backdrops and photo booths.
Beyond Elegance is family owned and operated. We pride ourselves on the quality of our rentals and service. It is amazing to think this all started out as a side business. It has grown into a one-of-a kind business that only Diana herself could have created!
