The entire Grimes Events and Party Tents Team would like to wish you Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! We bet this sounds too soon, considering we are in August and experiencing heat advisories.

Booking your tent and party rentals now guarantees that you have a wide range of options to choose from, allowing you to secure the perfect setup that aligns with your vision for the party.

Professional Expertise:

The professionals at Grimes also see their calendars become crowded. Our party professionals are happy to assist you with designing the perfect under-tent atmosphere for your holiday party to make your event go smoothly. Booking now gives us more time to collaborate with you to create a party that exceeds your expectations.

Serious Stress Reduction:

While we can help you create the perfect outdoor venue for your party, we know there are many more details you need to attend to make the magic happen.

Custom Climate Control

 

While décor and theme are considered essential when putting together a great event, functionality and logistics are the backbones of an efficient function. Keeping your space comfortable and safe is going to yield the best result when planning an event.

Grimes Events & Party Tents not only provides customers with grand tents and everything underneath them but also the rentals that maintain a comfortable climate during the hot summer months. Read on to ensure you have all the rentals you need for your next celebration.

Fans

A necessity for any tented event is a fan. Whether you are in a closed tent or open tent, air circulation is a must. Gathering friends and family together under one roof can cause overwhelming heat and humidity.  Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a variety of fans that reach different points of the tent. 12” Pole Fans can be clipped at any level of a tent pole. This fan is easily movable making it accessible at any area in the tent. Ceiling Fans are a great way to move the air that rises to the top of the tent. This style can also double and a form of décor. Misting Fans are a way to add moisture to the environment. This is especially convenient on a very hot dry day.

HVAC System

HVAC System is an all-in-one way to keep your tent is cool for a full night of celebration. The HVAC System is usually installed towards the rear of the tent, or this can be set up in an extension off your main tent. The HVAC System is great for events that occur during the day and go on for a long period of time. This system is a step up from fans as it is an industrial AC, so it not only provides air but  crisp air for guest comfortability.

 

Tent Additions

Depending on the situation, incorporate Tent Sides and Tent Doors to control climate. You may think, how will my event be more comfortable with added Tent Sides and Doors? Well, depending on the outside climate, making this addition can keep out hot air and provide shade which will cool down the space. This is also necessary when using a HVAC system.

 

Grimes Events & Party Tents is committed to creating a beautiful and functional space for any event. Stay comfortable during any climate and party on! Contact us today to learn more about our rentals!

Summer Wedding Guide

 

Wedding season is upon us! With summer approaching outdoor weddings have been on the rise. If you are considering an outdoor wedding, we’ve constructed a guide with our tips for a successful outdoor wedding.

 

Stay Hydrated

With the Summer heat, it’s important to make sure you and your guests stay hydrated during the wedding ceremony and reception. This can be done by making sure your venue has a hydration station with water bottles throughout the reception and ceremony area. Create the perfect refreshment station with our banquet tables. Banquet tables are great for spreading out food and drinks.

 

Comfort

During an outdoor wedding in the summer, you may be prone to dealing with mosquitoes. Add an element of décor and fight of the pest with a Citronella Candle. Dress up the candles with a variety of table wear. While the bugs can be a minor inconvenience it’s important to consider the sun, and its effects on guests. Renting a tent is going to be essential when throwing an outdoor wedding.

 

Party Tents

Not all tents are created equal and selecting the proper tent for your big day is important. From Clear Frame Top Tents that let the sun shine in, to Pole Tents that give the space a grand feel, we have a wide array of tents that will suit any outdoor wedding.

Additionally, Grimes Events & Party Tents has all the cooling rentals you will need to control the climate inside of your tent!

 

Bathrooms

Another important thing to note for your outdoor wedding is the bathroom. In order to make sure your guests are comfortable and have access to a bathroom, you can rent restroom trailers. Grimes offers a vast selection of bathroom trailers including: Single stall ADA restroom trailers, 3-stall restroom trailers, 5-stall luxury restroom trailers, and 9-stall restroom trailers.

 

Dress Comfortably

With an outdoor wedding, you’ll want to dress comfortably depending on the temperature and location of the venue. For the reception, you can bring a spare pair of shoes, so you don’t tarnish your special shoes for the big day.

Grimes Events & Party Tents is exited to build you the wedding venue of your dreams this summer. Contact us for all your rental needs today!

Alternative Bashes!

 

Covid-19 halted group gatherings for over a year and the public is ready more than ever for human interaction. As spring approaches, we can expect an increase in events and celebrations for an array of celebration types. If you find yourself wanting to gather but you don’t have a birthday coming up or an exciting announcement to make, you don’t need one. If you don’t have a reason to celebrate, make one! In 2022 alternative bashes will be trending! People will be celebrating anything and everything! Grimes Events & Party Tents has all the rentals you need to celebrate all wins, big or small.

 

Divorce Party: To New Beginnings!

Although a divorce is undoubtedly one of the hardest life events that someone can go through, after the storm comes a rainbow. Whether you are in a loveless union or mutually grow apart, your next chapters should not start with guilt or shame. Cheers to new beginnings and accept your past as it was with a divorce party. This trending event gives a new attitude to divorce, welcoming the re-alignment of your life path!

 

End of Student Loan Celebration

After completing your degree, it can feel like you finished a marathon, but that’s not quite the end. With years of schooling comes debt that’s often more than your yearly income after college. Once that debt is paid off the race is over, and you can exhale. This triumph calls for celebration. We see more people celebrating this milestone as they say goodbye to student loan payments.

 

Adoptions

A new addition to the family should always be celebrated. Welcome your new family member to an adoption celebration. Get all your adoptee’s favorites and decorate your event with items that represent them. This will make them feel more at home while also showing guests their interests to get to know them better. Adoptions don’t stop at people… you can celebrate an adopted pet or adopted a lifestyle as well! Get creative and celebrate new facets of your daily life.

 

Empty Nest Celebration

The kids are off to college, and you can finally say, “I did it”.  As a parent, you sacrifice so much to shape and guide your children. As they spread their wings and fly out of the nest, they only have you to thank for your hard work and dedication through the years. When your children do great things it’s a direct reflection of you! Now that’s something worth celebrating. Invite your close friends and family to celebrate this new chapter to acknowledge the legacy you’ve created.

 

Grimes Events & Party Tents offers tent and event rentals for any celebration. With a variety of Tables, Chairs, Tents, Lighting, and more, we can help you celebrate all of the uncelebrated events no matter how alternative they may be!

Must-Have Outdoor Event Rentals!

 

Spring has sprung and Grimes Events & Party Tents is excited to get to work this season!  Spring is one of the best times to have an outdoor event and we have all your rental needs! We have tent rentals and everything underneath them for the perfect outdoor event.

Tents

Grimes Events & Party Tents offers various tent sizes for any function. Tents are a great option for outdoor events as they are a shelter that can be placed anywhere and filled with any type of décor! Options are truly endless when creating an event under a party tent!

Moving into spring, we love to see our Clear-Top Frame Tents in action. The clear-top tent is perfect for any outdoor event you may be hosting. This tent style allows all the sunlight into your event and removes the need for artificial lighting!

High-Peak Festival Tents are also popular in the spring as their height adds a level of space that captivates the guests and is perfect for outdoor events. The space of the tent leaves room for sunlight to fill the tent, while also creating a grand space for a large outdoor event.

Having an outdoor event doesn’t mean being limited to a single space. Pipe and Drape can be added to any party tent to create sections or rooms that can add an element of exploration and dimension to your space.

 

Outdoor seating

Chairs are not all created equal when it comes to outdoor events. Depending on the density of the soil, some chair rentals hold up better compared to others. Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a variety of chairs that function perfectly on soil, grass, and cement.

Our Samsonite Chair is the classic durable folding chair. This seat comes in black and white to match any décor your event has.

The Chiavari Chair is a crowd favorite. This chair is strong and beautifully decorated, coming in white, black, clear, and gold. This is a more upscale step up from the classic Samsonite chair and is perfect for weddings or any sophisticated functions.

Lounge furniture is something that can change the essence of the event. Lounge furniture is usually more comfortable and comes in modern styles that catch the guest’s eyes. Transform your space into a comfy bohemian relaxation area in the day, or a space that emits a upscale, nightlife experience in the evening. Products like our Hi- Tops tables, Lounge Ottomans, and LED Cubes, make up some of the aspects to a functional outdoor lounge area outdoors.

 

Luxury Restroom Trailers

When it comes to hosting an outdoor event the restroom for guests can often be overlooked. This can be a tricky situation when you are not at an indoor venue that has a facility included. Grimes has this covered for you with our variety of luxury restroom trailers! Depending on the size of your event, we offer 9 stall, 5 stall, 3 stall, and single stall trailers for guests to use the restroom in comfortable and clean quarters.

 

Stage and Flooring

While a stage and flooring aren’t a necessity for an amazing and functional outdoor event, it is a great option to incorporate in the layout of a tent space.

A stage can act as a focal point of an event as it’s the most elevated level of the space. Here, you can add an extravagant design element, a DJ, or  other source of entertainment. If your event  entertainment or a host, a stage will level up the experience.

Flooring is also a great addition to an outdoor event. This not only offers a stable and smooth ground for guests to comfortably walk, it also doubles as a dance floor. This communicates to guests that dancing is encouraged!

 

Catering Rentals

Food and drinks are a crucial part of any event – big or small. If you want to develop your catering menu and refreshments, Grimes Events & Party Tents can provide you with all your catering rental needs. We provide an array of catering rentals that keep food hot, cold, fresh, or fried! Some of our products include Conventional Ovens, Gas Deep Fryer, Pan Racks, Steam Tables, and Propane Grilles to name a few.

Party With Purpose!

 

Grimes Events and Party Tents have been serving the community for years, providing event rentals to create functional designs for clients. With the many events we have serviced, there is a certain level of purpose behind all of them. Big or small, the purpose is present at every event. Even though there is an intention behind every event, the nature behind the intent is what makes the event truly purposeful or not. With the many things going on in the world, we are offered many opportunities as event professionals to make changes with the events we create.

 

Purposeful events

When planning an event with purpose you or the planner is thinking about it from a non-commercial mindset. The value of this event has a bigger effect than anything we can physically see or gain capital on. An event can be private, corporate, or charitable, all can be done purposely if intended. If the event creates change or brings awareness to a challenging area it successfully served a purpose that ultimately serves the community’s greatest good.

 

How can I make my event purposeful?

There are a few things that can qualify your event as one that embodies purpose. The more important strategy behind creating a purposeful event is the intent behind the function.  Why are you having this event? How is it going to have a long-term positive effect on others? These answers can be very simple or more complex but regardless, the pure intention behind the answers ensures the event is yielding a level of purpose. If you want to give back through your event there are so many ways to do this. Some examples are having a reputable speaker, inviting members of your community who sit in high places, as their presence is a resource to uplift the purpose. Lastly, using admission to give proceeds to an establishment in need.

 

What makes a purposeful event special?

Having a purposeful event also offers some hidden perks besides being overall beneficial to a cause. One of the biggest highlights of a purposeful event is the transformation it brings.  If you promote a purpose at your event, you are also creating a space for the public to engage with the topic or purpose. This engagement works as a catalyst to educate and inform your guest about a purpose you find important. Another thing that makes an event with purpose stand out is the feedback you’ll get after the event. Feedback gives your event exposure that continues far after the event is over. This feedback can also manifest itself as new followers, subscribers, sign-ups, or donations. Overall, this is giving your purpose the support it deserves.

 

Examples of a purposeful event 

When we think of purposeful events, we automatically think of a charitable type of event. Food drives, raising funds for cancer research, helping the homeless, etc. All these events are clearly doing something to give back to a moral cause. Although this is a direct way to create a purposeful event, there are other subtle ways to incorporate purpose in any event.

For example, a wedding. Depending on your theme and time of year for a wedding, the host can incorporate purpose through their personalization. Incorporating information on an important cause in the wedding favor, asking guests to donate to a cause rather than gifts, or ensuring all materials and vendors you’re working with have an ethical and sustainable background, are just some of the ways to bring a deeper purpose to a wedding day.

Here at Grimes Events & Party Tents, we believe in incorporating purpose into everything we do. When we provide essential and well-equipped tent and party rentals, the purpose does not stop there. We are more than creating exceptional event designs. We pride ourselves on being woman-owned and operated. We support women’s rights, encourage power in all women, and support our community. We put this essence in every event we service. Contact Grimes Event & Party Tents to create a beautiful event with a purpose.

Event Planning: Selecting Your Venue

 

Picking a venue for your event can be a big part of your overall event planning process. Make selecting a venue easy by learning what to look for when beginning to search. Start with a vision and purpose for your event, then incorporate these tips to create the perfect venue space.

 

Location

Location is important to keep in mind when choosing a venue. The region where the venue is located can affect how accessible it is for guests. Without a guest, there is no event. Ensure that all guests can travel safely and have efficient access to enjoy all aspects of the venue space. Look into entrance ramps and parking spaces at your venue location.  Speaking of space, one of the first things you should know when picking a venue is how many guests will be there. This will establish the size venue that’s needed and can impact the comfortability of the venue.

 

Select a place

Once you have addressed the event size, you can decide where you want your event to take place. Finding a venue that has all your event needs in one place and can be designed to carry your theme is crucial. Although the fastest way to select a venue is picking one that is already built, it can be hard to get everything you want out of one venue space. The room could be large but there is only one bathroom, or there is a dancefloor but not much room to dance. If you find yourself having a difficult time checking all the boxes of your venue requirements, don’t settle. Building your venue can be more personalized and just as fun. For more information about personalizing your event space, read our blogs on Tent Rentals for Every Event and What is Your Event Décor Style?

 

Build your own space

Starting from scratch allows the event planner to build out the event the way they imagined, and not what the venue confines them to. A great way to build a custom venue is by renting a party tent. Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a variety of sizes and styles of outdoor party tents. Another great aspect of a party tent is it can be put anywhere opening the doors for endless locations. It can be on a beach, a farm, a park, or even your backyard. No matter where the event is, its one-of-a-kind setup will leave a lasting impression.

When you build out an event you can use one tent or multiple to build the structure of your choice. Add on rooms inside the tent or just off the tent to accommodate a lounge in addition to your event space. This is a great way to incorporate an upscale lounging area for your guests to relax. Maximize your space by organizing it the way it works best for your event. Incorporate rentals like a stage for entertainment, a floor for dancing, rentals for catering, and even luxury portable restrooms. Grimes Events & Party Tents has countless event rentals that will transform your space into a one-of-a-kind venue.

 

Transforming your venue

Décor, theme, style, and functionality are all essential parts of having a memorable venue. Think about what kind of event this is and what kind of response you would like to evoke from your guest. Figuring out what you want out of your event will help you determine the essence of the celebration.  The theme or subject of the event will be the inspiration for the setup and décor inside. Tableware, statement pieces, lighting, music, colors, seating, refreshments, and any other personalization will make up the theme of the event. Think about the atmosphere you are trying to create with the décor. Will it be warm, cool, airy, intimate, fun, or sophisticated? The list goes on and creativity takes over. Take stock of your decorative goals for the venue and start trying things out.  Its highly recommended to take furniture, décor, and color swatches to the venue to get an idea of what the final product could look like.

If you are finding it hard to spark creativity, get inspiration from other events. Research common themes or trending décor to get a feel of beautiful materials you can include in your décor. A great source of inspiration is from event planning businesses like Grimes Events & Party Tents. Check out our social media and website to view our gallery of successful event setups.

Hosting A Winter Event

 

Summer is over but the festivities have just begun. Winter is a beautiful time of year filled with celebrations and gatherings. With many national holidays taking place during the winter, it’s only right that events continue this time of year. If you are hosting a winter event this year, here are a few tips and tricks that are sure to keep guests comfortable wherever you are.

 

Weather Conditions

 

Here in Florida, winter doesn’t mean heavy snow and ice but does take some adjusting for locals. Sunny days drop from the high eighties and nighties to the mid-seventies while the nights become crisper and cooler at temperatures of fifty to sixty degrees. In other regions of the country, snowfall and hazardous weather conditions are more prominent so precautions must be taken. Although Winter looks different around the country, wherever you are it’s important to have a backup plan for your event. Having a “plan B” is essential to all events but especially winter events where the host is heavily relying on aspects of the plan. To be prepared, set aside backups for all heating, tent, and other rental equipment.

 

Durable Equipment

 

Regardless of how winter looks where you are, having durable equipment like Frame Tents, High Peak Tents, Heaters, and insulated Stage & Flooring are key in maintaining and enjoying a winter event.  Grimes Events and Party Tents offer weather-resistant tents that are steaked into the ground. With a solid shelter installed, guests won’t have to worry about the weather outside, inside the tent. If you are hosting a winter event, it’s recommended to use a frame tent, that can then be closed on all sides if needed. Now that the four walls are up, a host must factor in heat during the chili months of winter. Space heaters are great for indoor or outdoor winter events. The number of heaters needed is based on the space of the event. When placing heaters, it’s wise to place them where guests will be seated or will remain through the event. Another great way to support a warm and cozy winter event is the addition of flooring. Using flooring will help insulate heat inside your tent while also giving guests a smooth walkway or dancing platform.

 

Food and Drink

 

While the setup is crucial in hosting a great winter event another aspect that can take your event from comfortable to cozy is the selection of refreshments. This is a great opportunity to further establish your winter theme. Warm and filling foods are best for a winter event. Cups of chili, soups, and hearty pasta are great examples of warm comfort foods to serve at your winter event. For drinks, think warm and delicious. Hot chocolate, hot cider, tea, and coffee are all special winter drinks that tie in perfectly with the winter esthetic, while also keeping guests warm from the inside out.

Winter Trends

 

The best part about A winter event is the décor! Winter has a theme of its own, snow, ice, glitter, evergreen, and a variation of magical lighting. Not only is winter beautiful as is, there are also a few of the nation’s biggest holidays that happen during the winter months. Christmas and New years are great times to create an immaculate winter celebration. Winter trends allow hosts and planners to do something different with their décor. Some trends that we’re seeing this winter season are warm and cool lighting. If you are going for a cozy winter feel, Edison Bulbs provides a warm esthetic that cascades throughout the whole venue. For an icier winter look, Globe Lamps are perfect for creating the essence of a Winter wonderland. These gorgeous lamps backed by snow and pine reach a mix of winter and warmth. For an icier winter look, icy blue LED UP Lights coated over an all-white winter event, looks like jack frost decorated it himself!

 

Winter comes and goes but the memory of an epic winter event will stay with guests for a lifetime. Don’t let cooler weather stop you from hosting a beautiful event. Embrace the chill! With a combination of durable equipment, proper refreshments, and glamorous décor, guests are sure to find themselves in a winter wonderland they won’t want to leave! If you are planning a winter event, Grimes Events and Party Tents provides event rentals and expertise to help you create a winter escape.

Which Tent Is Right for Your Event?

At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have tent rentals for every occasion! From small, backyard get-togethers to large, corporate events and everything in between, we offer a wide variety of party rentals to best suit a wide variety of needs. Grimes Events & Party Tents is here to help your dream event come to life!

Types of Tents

Frame Tents come in a variety of sizes, making them our most versatile and therefore most popular tent rental option. These tents can be installed on decks, close to buildings, and any relatively level surface. Our frame tents are available with either a white or clear top. This type of tent is best used for events that have seating plans or a lot of guest movement is anticipated.

Pole Tents are excellent for weddings, festivals, company events, and more. These elegant tents, sometimes referred to as circus tents, have central support pole(s) down the center to create a clean, swooping look for the canopy. Pole tents offer a traditional look that is both cost-efficient and flexible.

High Peak Tents have a similar look as the pole tents but are better for smaller events. Built with a solid aluminum frame and covered with PVC-coated fabric, these tents are both beautiful and functional. They are available in either 10 x 10 ft or 15 x 15 ft and can either be used singly or placed side by side to create an aesthetically pleasing village grouping.

Structural Tents are heavy-duty frame tents, generally used for large events or long-term installations such as additional restaurant seating, construction projects, or repeat events. One benefit to these tents is the high ceilings that offer some extra height and space.

Things to Consider

Location, location, location. Tents can be installed using different methods. Therefore, where you plan on placing the tent is a large contributing factor when choosing which tent is right for you. Will the tent be placed on grass, concrete, asphalt, sand, or a deck? Is the ground relatively level? Will it need to be close to other structures, such as a building? The tent space will need to be free of obstacles, including fences, swing sets, underground power lines, sprinkler systems, etc. Make sure to take all these factors into account when choosing your tent!

The size of your tent depends on how many guests you are planning to have at your event. We suggest following the general guidelines of:

Cathedral seating – minimum 8 sq ft per guest, plus aisles

Standing event – minimum 10 sq ft per guest

Seated dining – depends on the table size and layout

The number of guests is just one of the many things to consider when choosing the size of your tent rental. Other considerations should include whether you will be having a buffet, bar, dancefloor, sign-in table, DJ table, etc.

Complete your tent by renting any number of tent accessories, some being practical and others being fashionable. Depending on the type of event and the venue, you may want to consider renting flooring, side curtains, doors, or cooling products. Top it all off by renting décor for your tent such as pipe and drape or lighting!
