Meet the Monroes !

We’re Tyrus and Shakeela Monroe, the husband-and-wife team behind First State Party Pros, based in Dover, Delaware, and proudly serving families and communities throughout the First State.

With Tyrus’s background as a licensed electrician and Shakeela’s experience in customer service, we bring a unique combination of technical skill and personalized care to every event we support. After completing a five-year apprenticeship with IBEW 313, Tyrus was ready to invest that same dedication into building something of our own. Starting First State Party Pros felt like the perfect way to give back to our community by helping people celebrate life’s special moments.

Our business was born from a simple frustration: trying to find a reliable, customer-focused rental company that offered flexibility, fair pricing, and clear communication. We decided to become the company we once searched for — one that puts the customer first, keeps its promises, and treats every event with care.

At First State Party Pros, we provide bounce houses, tents, tables, and chairs for all types of events. Whether it’s a birthday party, school event, wedding, or church function, we’re here to help make it easy, affordable, and memorable.

What truly sets us apart is our attention to detail and commitment to service. Tyrus’s experience as an electrician ensures that every setup is safe, secure, and professionally handled — especially when electrical setups are involved. Shakeela’s background in customer service means we focus on clear communication, prompt responses, and a respectful, friendly approach with every client. We also take pride in providing clean, sanitized equipment at prices that families can feel good about.

We’re deeply inspired by the families we serve — the laughter, the celebrations, and the moments that bring people together. Seeing the joy on children’s faces and the relief on parents’ faces when everything goes smoothly is what motivates us to keep raising the bar.

For us, this business is about more than rentals — it’s about building a legacy, serving our community, and making it easier for families to celebrate the people they love.
