Redbone Events

Available to hire for special events such as weddings, engagements, family get-togethers, proms, and more, Redbone Events is a unique rental service operating out of Newport, RI. Owners Marcus and William Calhoun inherited a love for vintage cars and a 1948 Ford F1 pickup truck, Redbone, from their father, Captain Bill Calhoun. It was lovingly restored as a way to keep their father’s memory alive. Ever since 2018, it has been part of many love stories and continues to be a value-add for special occasions. Not only can they come to your location, delighting all, but they can set up a beverage station or cigar bar inside the truck bed to make it all the more purposeful. Flowers can also adorn the vehicle so that it blends well within your color scheme or theme. Just so you know, the truck cannot be driven, and it is offered only as a photo prop for the day.
