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!

When planning your next event, consider renting your partyitems instead of buying them. Contact us today to find out how we can help your event be everything you are hoping for!

How to Host Thanksgiving Amid a Pandemic

As COVID-19 continues to pose a risk to gatherings, many people are trying to reimagine their holiday plans. According to a recent survey, 21% of 1,000 adults confirmed that they do not know what they will be doing for Thanksgiving this year. When making your plans this year, make safety a priority by determining logistics such as cleanliness and spacing ahead of time.

Check State Regulations

First thing’s first, many states have restrictions on how many people may gather. Make sure to follow any state regulations set in place. While Florida may not have any state-mandated limits on gatherings, Florida Health suggests that you avoid congregating in groups larger than 10. If your guests are traveling from out of state, make sure to take note of any travel restrictions the state has set in place. As of right now, Florida does not have any traveling restrictions in place.

Measure Your Space

Social distancing is still encouraged, even during holiday gatherings. A great way to determine how many guests you can safely invite is to measure your space ahead of time. Keep in mind that while people are eating, their masks come off. Make sure that there is enough space to keep everyone at least 6 feet apart.

Alter Agenda, Location, and Serving Style

If you need more space, consider hosting Thanksgiving dinner outdoors! Not only does it allow for flexibility with spacing, but better airflow also increases overall safety. At Grimes Events and Party Tents, we can provide you with additional equipment such as tables, chairs, tableware, and linens. We also have 10×10 DIY tents that will keep your guests comfortable all day long.

Properly Prepare Your Guests

Make sure that all your guests are aware of what the plan is. Encourage all guests to observe a 14-day quarantine prior to Thanksgiving Day. Ask your guests to wear a mask whenever they are not eating or drinking. Remind your guests that if they are feeling ill, they should stay home. For those who are considered high risk, do your best to include them by video-chatting with them on the day of.

Observe CDC Guidelines

You and your guests should follow all CDC guidelines set in place. These include social distancing, mask-wearing, frequent hand washing, and limiting the number of people you come in contact with.

The holidays are a joyous time to gather with friends and family. However, this year, it is especially important to do what you can to ensure everyone’s safety. Grimes Events and Party Tents is here to support you during this time by providing social distancing solutions, tent, and table rentals. Contact us today for all your Thanksgiving rental needs!

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.

Fashion Week is a massive fashion show event that takes place right in the heart of Downtown Delray Beach. There are several runway shows over the course of Fashion Week, featuring the work of local designers with varying styles.

Grimes Events & Party Tents has played a role in Delray Beach Fashion Week for 6 years. We create the most important piece of the fashion shows – the runways! We take great care in setting up the runway stages, as they must be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

What would a runway show be without seats for the audience? We also set up the accompanying chairs that surround the stage. These White Padded Chairs were used in last year’s Fashion Week.

Although the runway stages are a crucial part of Fashion Week, we also set up gorgeous pipe and drape for the lounge areas. To set some great mood lighting, we incorporate Edison Bulb Café / Bistro Lighting between the pipe and drape. To organize the space and give the area a VIP boost, we added stanchions.

This year, we are proud to be a Silver Sponsor for Fashion Week 2020! The show takes place January 29 – February 2, right on time for the Big Game itself held here in Florida. We can’t wait to set up the runways, chairs for this incredible event. Game on!

4 Benefits Of Having An Outdoor Wedding Venue

Finding the perfect wedding venue that matches a couple’s vision, style and needs while also staying within budget can be somewhat of a challenge. Indoor wedding venues are a popular choice among couples planning a wedding because they offer convenience and a higher level of comfort for guests. An indoor wedding venue can also completely dictate the look and feel of a wedding, limiting decor options and causing space constraints. That is why so many couples are opting for the freedom and flexibility that an outdoor wedding venue has to offer.

Outdoor Wedding Venue

Depending on the time of year, an outdoor wedding venue can provide beautiful scenery while also adding versatility, allowing couples to add a personal touch while creating the wedding of their dreams. In many cases, outdoor weddings can also be less expensive than weddings that take place at an indoor venue. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, our event specialists work with couples to handle all rental logistics associated with a wedding. Grimes Events & Party Tents provides party rentals and essentials like event tent rentals, chair rentals, table rentals and everything in between. We have been helping couples in the South Florida area turn their outdoor wedding vision into a reality.

Make It Your Own

Couples may find that with an indoor wedding venue they are usually limited to the design of a room. The majority of outdoor wedding venues come as a clean slate, giving couples the freedom make their vision become a reality. With an outdoor wedding venue, couples can personalize the look and feel of their outdoor wedding. If couples have an event tent rental, they have the ability to add lighting, drapery, chairs, tables, and even a dance floor.

Natural Backdrop

Depending on the outdoor venue that is chosen and the time of year, the bridal party and guests can enjoy a beautiful, natural backdrop. Not to mental, the natural lighting that an outdoor venue provides will be great for pictures. In South Florida, couples have the option of getting married at outdoor wedding venues like the beach and or a garden at a country club.

Plenty of Room

Indoor wedding venues can sometimes have space constraints. Unless you rent a large ballroom or another large indoor space, finding an ideal setup that will comfortably fit all of your guests can be an issue. With an outdoor wedding venue, open spaces give the illusion that you and your guests have plenty of room. During the ceremony, guests can enjoy the natural scenery and take in the fresh air. For the reception, an event tent rental can be the perfect solution to providing a covered and comfortable space for guests, especially with unpredictable weather conditions.

Event Tent Rental For An Outdoor Wedding

One of the main concerns with an outdoor wedding venue is how unpredictable the weather can be. In South Florida, one minute it can be bright, sunny, clear skies and the next, there is a torrential downpour. Combining an outdoor wedding venue with an event tent rental can allow couples to have the best of both worlds. An event tent rental will provide guests with the comfort and protection of an indoor wedding venue while also not taking away from an outdoor wedding look and feel. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we specialize in planning all of the logistical elements of a wedding. As event tent rental specialists, we offer a wide range of event tents like canopy tents and frame tents that will protect against inclement wedding and bugs.
