The Future of Events

Over the last several months, countless events have been canceled in an attempt to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. With some states slowly considering reopening, a new normal will be defined as events begin happening again. What should you expect for the future of events? Here are a few things to keep in mind as we move forward:

Maintaining Social Distancing

Events in the foreseeable future will remain small and locally based. The footprint of events will need to be larger to accommodate for social distancing and will take place outdoors, allowing people to spread out. The use of pre-registration and check-in stations are encouraged to keep track of how many guests are attending an event. Take advantage of our chair, table, and lounge furniture rentals as they can be strategically placed to ensure your guests maintain proper social distancing.

Utilizing Technology

Technology will be a key component both before and during any future events. Through the use of websites and social media, you can maintain clear communication with guests, letting them know about any guidelines or restrictions that are set in place regarding the event. It is becoming increasingly popular to host hybrid events, where a small group of people attend the event itself and others attend virtually by using live streaming. Mobile apps and social media play a big part in bringing life to an event. Using hashtags and sharing photos or videos is a great way to keep everyone in the loop, even if they are unable to attend.

Safety Guidelines

Setting in place new safety measures is a must at any future events. Providing handwashing stations, hand sanitizer, gloves, and masks will help your guests feel safe as well as help to keep the venue clean. Depending on your event, you might consider having a dedicated cleaning crew to regularly sanitize any high traffic areas such as restrooms, tables, chairs, etc. If your event takes place outdoors, we now offer luxury restroom trailers for rental.

No one can know for certain when, or if, events will ever be the way that they used to. For the time being, the aforementioned aspects can be expected at events. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we are here to help you prepare for your next event while ensuring safety. Contact us today at 561-853-8368 so that we can help you navigate this new norm.

Tents for All Seasons and Reasons

As cities continue to make their way through the reopening phases, it is important for businesses to remain flexible. We are excited to partner with Downtown West Palm Beach to provide restaurants with the assistance they need to thrive during this transitional period.

Dining on The Spot

Phase 1 of reopening in Florida allows for restaurants to function at 50% capacity. As part of the effort to support the local economy, Downtown West Palm Beach created Dining on the Spot, an outdoor dining experience for restaurants in its downtown area allowing for expanded seating capacity. Following appropriate social distancing guidelines, we transformed downtown with tents, umbrella tables, and more to create a unique ambiance for each restaurant’s space. Sidewalks have been widened and some streets have been closed to create more outdoor dining opportunities. Alleyways and parking lots are soon to follow, expanding seating capacity further and allowing the community to enjoy their dining experiences once again. This long-term program comes at no cost to the restaurants and ensures CDC guidelines are in place while supporting community safety.

Available Rentals

Are you looking to expand your business outdoors? We offer hundreds of rental options to fit your needs and help you succeed during this transitional period. Rentals can include tents, umbrella tables, specialty tenting, outdoor carpeting, lighting, draping, and textures! All our rentals are offered in a variety of options for flexible functionality and style to meet your business needs. Tents and umbrellas offer shade during the day while lighting, draping, and textures can be added to create a unique atmosphere for your business. Fans are a great option for outdoor dining as they provide some much-needed relief from the Florida heat.

Reach out to us to discuss your options for expanding outdoors. We have everything you need including tents, tables, chairs, and more. The options are endless!

Benefits of Table and Chair Rental for Your Event

renting chairs for eventPlanning a successful event takes time as there are a lot of factors to consider. Picking out the right decorations, sending invitations to party guests, and creating an event atmosphere is all taken into consideration when planning a party. If you want to throw a successful event, the adage “the early bird gets the worm” applies. The sooner you start planning, the better prepared you will be for last minute changes.

Regardless of the size of your event, it can be challenging to pull together every detail in time. Think about what guests may need when arriving at your special occasion. They may need food and beverage, directions to the event, and additional details. Every event is different and some may need areas for dancing, a stage, or a bar for concessions.  A party requirement that normally doesn’t come to mind is chars and tables. After all, your guests will need a place to sit, eat and relax.

Benefits of Table and Chair Rental

Weddings, bar mitzvahs, and sweet sixteens are events that have common needs, such as tables and chairs. Chairs are obviously great for sitting down, but chairs can offer different comfort and decoration options. Table rentals are an excellent choice for placing decorative pieces, and for creating a dinner-appropriate atmosphere. Here are some other benefits of a chair and table rental you may not have considered.

  • Cost Savings – Buying tables and chairs is not only costly, but it’s expensive to stare and transport, especially if you are only using it for one event. Renting party equipment is a huge saving compared to purchasing event chairs and tables.
  • Flexibility – Whether your guest list is small or large, renting tables and chairs gives you the flexibility to accommodate any size party.
  • Delivery and Set Up – It takes a lot of time and effort to transport, and set up tables and chairs for your event. Renting party equipment has the benefit of having those items delivered right to your event.
  • Style – Every party is going to have a special theme and will require tables and chairs. To match your event’s decor, it’s important to have the right table and chairs. Renting party equipment makes it easier to choose what style you need for your occasion.
  • Maintenance – With renting tables and chairs, there is no maintenance required. So there isn’t a need to clean the party equipment before your event.

As you can see, renting tables and chairs for your event offers plenty of benefits and is easy to procure. With the many things that can happen during an event, letting our team take care of the simple things makes your life a lot easier. Not having to worry if the tables and chairs will be delivered and set up takes stress off your mind.

At Grimes Party Rental, we are South Florida’s premier party equipment rental service. Operating out of Boca Raton, we have a wide variety of party rental equipment such as tents, chairs, and tables to choose from. Whether your event is in Broward or Palm Beach County, we will be able to deliver your party equipment on time.

A great layout for your tented event can ensure that you will have an appealing set up.

How to Have the Best Layout for Your Tented Event

In order to have the best layout at your tented event, it’s important for you to consider all of the essentials that you may want to have added and where they should be placed at your special event.

Consider Large Event Tents for a Bigger Attendance

If your event is going to have a bigger crowd, your event should have a large event tent to best fit your guests comfortably. Depending on the use of the event tent, the tent may need to keep everybody covered, act as the dining area, or have an event stage set up underneath it. You should think about how large your venue is and if the large tent is best centered at the location. If you are having several event tents for your special occasion, then consider the alignment you may need to create easy movement and flow.

Add Table Rentals and Chair Rentals to Your Event

The size of your event is important, especially if you are going to be adding a table rental and chair rentals underneath the tent to provide room for an audience. However, if you are having a wedding ceremony and it’s nice outside, you may want to have the actual ceremony set up with chair rentals outside and then leave room for the reception area under the event tent rental.

Think About Temporary Event Flooring for Aisles and Stage

For all types of celebrations, birthday parties and wedding events, it can be an exciting idea to add event flooring. Whether you are trying to create an aisle for the crowd to walk down during the ceremony or looking to add a fun stage, temporary event flooring can really change the atmosphere of an outdoor event. You should keep in mind where you want to place temporary flooring at your event. You may want to keep it under the main large tent for the event, or you may want to create a stage outside of the tent. The layout of the floor at the event should be inviting toward your guests and highlight areas for dancing and walking by.

Opt for Pipe & Drape Rental in the Tent for Extra Event Decor

To really transform your tented event, you should think about adding a pipe and drape rental. This extra decoration can make any event become high scale and classy. When you want elaborate design inside or outside of your large tent for an event, add drapes!

Party Tent Lighting Placement

What would an event be without party tent lighting? This can add the right spotlight you need, the necessary lighting to see your event during the evening, and even provide fun colors for an enticing party. No matter what you want to use your party tent lighting for, it’s important to keep in mind where you want the lighting directed and whether you want the lights to go on at a certain point or for the entire duration of the event.

LED Furniture and Lounge Furniture Rentals

Not only can the right lighting in your event tent be exciting and enticing, but LED furniture and party lounge furniture rentals can really change the atmosphere of your event. Having LED furniture rentals at your tented event can be a smart way to enhance engagement of the crowd and allow for them to have a fun time! Think about whether you would like to place the LED furniture under the tent or keep it outside during the evening and what formation you would like for the furniture to be set up in. Lounge furniture rentals are also a great way to provide a space for relaxation and viewing.
