Tent Rentals for Every Event

Living in beautiful South Florida, many events are held outdoors. From backyard weddings to corporate events and sporting championships to emergency relief, tents provide a great number of benefits.

Private Events

Private events such as birthday parties, baby showers, weddings, retirement parties, family reunions, graduation parties, or holiday gatherings benefit greatly from tent rentals. Grimes Events & Party Tents has extensive experience with private events. For example, last summer we were able to create a gorgeous driveway setup for a 10-year-old’s surprise birthday party, complete with a clear top frame tent. Other vendors provided decorations that made for a truly spectacular scene that the birthday girl was over the moon about!

Corporate Events

Many businesses host events such as seminars, product launches, trade expositions, networking events, leadership building, team building, conferences, business dinners, and more. While some of these events are small, others are hosted on a larger scale. Our frame tents are just one of the many options that can provide a great space to host these large gatherings.

Charity & Fundraising Events

Charity and fundraising events come in all shapes and sizes. They can include society balls, sporting events, charitable auctions, sponsored events, theatrical productions, and more. For example, last year we were able to provide 30 tents as well as tables, chairs, and fencing for the Autism Speaks Walk at the Meyer Amphitheater in West Palm Beach.

Live Events

Live events, such as sporting events, shows, concerts, festivals, etc., are a great opportunity for tent rentals. Whether you are using a larger tent to house a group of people or smaller, pop-up tents for individual vendors, the options are endless! In 2019, at the College Football Championship Conference, we provided tents for the stadium, conference USA, and UAB as well as media platforms throughout the stadium for CBS.

Small Businesses

Especially in the past year, many small businesses and restaurants have had to get creative in how they offer their services outdoors. Our pop-up tents, as well as many others, provided comfort for guests. For example, we were able to provide tents as well as tables, chairs, fencing, and lighting in Downtown Delray for the Downtown Development Authority’s Distanced Dining in the Park event, featuring extended dining options for local restaurants.

Emergency Services

Tents offer benefits not only during planned events but also during unplanned times of need. For example, Grimes Events & Party Tents is proud to have served Palm Beach County during a difficult year by making our tents available to use as additional facilities for COVID-19 testing.

The Advantages of Party Rentals

One of the major dilemmas that many people go through when planning an event is whether to buy or rent the necessary equipment. There are advantages to rentals including cost, variety, and peace of mind.

Cost Efficiency

Buying all your own equipment, brand new, can quickly get expensive. Party rental companies buy products brand new but then can rent them out multiple times for a lower price and still make their money back on the item. This is ideal not only from a cost-efficiency standpoint but is also more realistic when you consider where you would keep all your items after the party is over. The most cost-effective option is to rent your party equipment from a party rental company.

Variety

Maybe you have a specific idea in mind for your next event but don’t have the items on hand that you need to make the vision come true. Party rental companies always have a large variety of options to suit any style event! At Grimes Events & Party Tents, if we don’t have exactly what you’re looking for already on hand, most of the time we can track down what you’re looking for! If you have a specific vision in mind for your next event, contact us today to find out how we can help bring your ideas to life!

Less Stress

Planning an event can be stressful and overwhelming. Hiring a party rental company can help take some of the burden off you. Acquiring necessary items becomes a breeze, and the logistics of how everything will be handled will be determined for you!

Environmentally Friendly

When it comes to serving options, many times it may seem like the more cost-effective choice is disposable plates and utensils. However, renting items from a party rental company is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly by eliminating excessive waste.

Expert Advice

Hiring a party rental company will give you peace of mind that everything is well taken care of. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, our talented and experienced team will be able to provide expert advice for your next event when it comes to tents, tables, chairs, linens, tableware, and so much more!

A Message From Grimes Regarding COVID-19

We understand that this is a stressful and difficult time for everyone in our community and we all have to get creative!

Here at Grimes Events & Party Tents, we are fortunate to own a state-of-the-art, high temperature, environmentally friendly tent washing machine. We are able to keep our tent tops perfectly white without any mold or mildew.

In addition to washing our own inventory, in the past we have serviced a select number of clients, like the FL Department of Health and Rapids Water Park in cleaning and sanitizing their tops.

During this slow time, we are offering to clean, sanitize, dry, and fold any tents, cabanas, outdoor furniture/boat/RV covers. We offer 12 and 24-hour turnaround. Additionally, we offer sewing and repair services.

Tops that are regularly cleaned and maintained with the proper techniques don’t just look better, they remain in good condition for longer, giving you a better return on investment.

5 Common Questions About Event Rental Installations

When considering tents for weddings and events, it’s important to know what to expect with the installation process, specifically timeline and pricing. We know that the foundation for a successful event lies in the preparation and planning, so we want to help simplify the installation process by answering the 5 most common questions that we receive.

Do you set up and break down the rental products?

Our delivery/ pick-up teams will set up and break down several of our rental products at no additional charge, including tents, bars, cooking equipment, dance floors, staging, and lighting. We can perform chair setup and breakdown, as well as table setup and breakdown services at an additional cost. Those services can be added at any point in the process before delivery.

What is your standard rental period?

The price of our rental equipment includes a 72-hour rental period. Should you need to keep our products longer than 72 hours, additional charges will apply.

Do you deliver?

Yes, we do offer delivery. When you request a delivery, you will be given either a morning (8 am-12 pm) or an afternoon (1 pm-6 pm) delivery window. Delivery rates will vary depending on delivery specifics and location.

What do I need to do to get ready for you to install the tent rental?

When installing a tent, the first step our crews take is to spread it flat on the ground in the area where it will be. Please have this area completely clear of obstructions before we arrive at the job site.

How will my tent be secured?

Grass – when setting up your tent, we typically drive a 42” stake into the grass in 2 places at each corner and 1 at each additional leg. The stakes will be approximately 4 feet away from the tent, with a white strap running from the top of the tent to the stake itself.

Asphalt – We will have to drill 1.5” diameter holes at each place that we need a stake. We can then drive our stakes in the ground, just the same as if we were setting up on grass. When we come back to pick up the tent, we will patch all holes with either asphalt patches or a plug.

Concrete – We will drill ½” diameter holes to secure your tent with concrete anchors. Our straps will run from the top of the tent down to the concrete anchors. When we pick up the tent, we will patch all holes with concrete patches, however we cannot guarantee an exact color match.

Other – If your tent is going on any surface that we are not allowed to drill through or drive stakes, we secure your tent with either cement weights or 55-gallon water barrels. To ensure that we have the proper equipment on-site, please contact us prior to booking your event. There will be an additional fee to secure any tent that we cannot stake.

From tents for weddings and events to table rentals (and everything in between!), Grimes Events & Party Tents is South Florida’s premier event rental company. If you are interested in hiring us for your next event, contact us at 561-853-8368.
