Work as a team or one-on-one to see who will make the giant Jenga tower fall. This is a great way to add a different layer of entertainment to your function and will be sure to keep your guest engaged.

 

 

Jumbo Connect 4

The classic game of strategy, Connect 4, is now jumbo and available for any event where you want to have some fun, and maybe some friendly competition too! Encourage guests to engage by crowning a connect four king or queen with a Connect 4 tournament. Go the extra mile and give out an incentive for the winner. This not only will add a layer of fun but may inspire others to incorporate this addition into their next function.

 

 

Corn Hole

One of the oldest and longest-running games for outdoor fun is Corn Hole! Practice your hand-eye coordination and aim with a steady game of Corn Hole. Corn Hole is not only for tailgating and carnivals, but it can also make a great addition to any outdoor event. This game is great for groups or to play one-on-one.

Events, Tent Rental

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!

Wedding Themes

Over the past two years, weddings were put on pause while society had to navigate our new reality among covid-19. Now as things begin to pick up again weddings have resumed, and we couldn’t be more ecstatic! In 2022 people are incorporating their own unique touch on their wedding day through wedding themes.

 

Beach Wedding

A common theme and wedding day favorite are beach weddings! This theme gives you and your guests the opportunity to enjoy a tropical and serene environment. Although this trend has been done before, there are some ways to elevate it. One way to add a personal touch to a beach theme is incorporating a special shoe valet. Provide guests with a spot to drop off their shoes so they can attend the wedding barefoot if they desire.

When it comes to beach weddings, accessible and clean restrooms are hard to come by. Including Luxury Restroom Trailers ensures that your venue has an upscale feel while being functional for guests. Another element that can be incorporated into this theme is a boho-chic table setting. Bohemian details are the perfect addition to your table setting at your beach wedding. As your wedding nears toward evening, light up your wedding with our Bistro Lighting.

 

Bridgerton-Inspired Wedding

The hit Netflix show Bridgerton has become a cultural phenomenon. Bridgerton is set to take place during the Regency era in England. The Regency era featured elaborate costumes, hair, florals, and elegant décor. We see more weddings incorporating this theme in their clothing, food, and décor. Rentals like our Antique Chargers, Mahogany Chiavari Chairs,  Marble Flooring, and Chandeliers pair perfectly with the regal theme.

 

Sustainability

Eco-friendly environments have become an integral wedding theme for 2022. When decorating your sustainable wedding theme, you can use natural materials like flowers, greenery, wood, and stone. To add dimension to these natural elements use a Clear Frame Tent where your natural location will be seen through the roof of the tent. Embracing the natural elements around your location can double as a scenic background. Another way to incorporate sustainability is by choosing digital invites to eliminate the excess use of paper.

 

Secret Garden Wedding

With this season of spring, you can’t go wrong with a secret garden theme. Enjoy your spring wedding with this outdoor theme consisting of a variety of floral arrangements. There is no need for excess décor as the flowers will be the focal point. Feel free to incorporate lush plants into your table settings.

 

Your wedding day is considered one of the most monumental events that will take place in your life. We have rentals for all new and existing wedding themes. Contact Grimes Event & Party Tents for all your wedding rental needs!

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!

Easter Event: The Grimes Way!

 

It’s April and Easter is around the corner. Whether you’re planning festivities for the little ones, or having an elegant Easter brunch, Grimes Events & Party Tents has rentals for your Easter functions.  Create a small intimate space or go big, Grimes can accommodate any space for the perfect Easter event.

 

Venue

If the weather permits, Easter is a great day to spend outside. Start with a Tent that can hold all of your guests comfortably. Grimes Events & Party Tents carries a variety of Tent sizes and styles that offer different functions. If you choose a Clear Frame Tent, you can be sure that the Florida Sun will be shining through the event. If you’re looking for more of a shaded shelter, consider a Frame Tent or a Structural Tent. Our tents are ideal for backyard parties and can also act as an extension of an indoor venue or home. You won’t even have to leave your home to have a fabulous Easter function.

 

Table

The proper Rentals and Décor are a must-have for an Easter event.  A Banquet Table is a timeless staple and the perfect choice when having a family gathering. The long table is perfect for facilitating conversation and placing a spread of tableware and décor.

 

Seating

Depending on the level of luxury you are trying to create, picking the right chair will elevate your Easter aesthetic. White Padded Chairs are a great option for a breezy and casual, Easter event due to the simplicity and quality they hold. The quality foldable chair is perfect for Easter because of its clean comfortable picnic feel.

If you are aiming for a more regal upscale feel, consider a Chiavari Chair. The Chiavari Chair comes in a variety of colors and even a Bar Stool style. The detailed design and cotton seat pad gives this chair a sophisticated structure. The Chiavari is commonly used for weddings and more!

 

Tableware

Grimes Events & Party Tents has a large inventory of Chargers, Glassware, Flatware, and Table linens to tie your Easter Event together. Easters’ classic color scheme usually reflects the season of Spring, calling for pastel purples, greens, yellows, and whites. Stack a Classic Porcelain Serving Plate on top of the beautiful Maribelle Citron Green Charger. Pair this combo with our All-Purpose Water Glass and Mod Stainless Steel Flatware. The décor doesn’t stop at the serving ware. Select a tablecloth with a subtle hue that will enhance the colors of your table wear. When in doubt a crisp white linen does the job, leaving a beautiful finish.

 

When creating a luxurious table set-up, consider using intricately styled tableware. Our Antique Charger and Florence Gold Charger are a few of the many Grimes Events & Party Tents offers. Pair the charger with our Alice Crystal Wine Class and Coral Stainless Flatware. If you are having a sophisticated event, including beautiful napkin holders like the Silver Beaded Napkin Ring, will give your event that extra detail that guests will remember.

 

Catering

Easter would not be the same without delicious food and family. Whether you are recreating a family recipe or are getting a meal catered, Grimes Events & Party Tents has quality Catering Rentals.

Our quality Chafing Dishes are essential for keeping food warm and ready for serving. The heated serving dish is easy for anyone to use, making serving accessible for anyone at the function. If you’re planning to have a professional caterer, rent your own appliances like Convection Oven, Pan Rack, Propane Grille, and more.

 

Try Easter the Grimes way this year. With our variety of tents, tables, chairs, and everything and between, you can tailor your event to create the perfect Easter function. Visit our website to create you’re a vision board for your Easter event.

Catering Rentals for Events Large and Small

Cooking for a large group of people just got easier! Grimes Events & Party Tents has everything you need when it comes to catering rentals.

Cook the Food

Convection Oven – Our portable convection ovens work similarly to the oven found in most homes. They use a fan and exhaust system that circulates hot air to ensure the dishes on every rack cook evenly. Our convection ovens come in large or small and both options are equipped with wheels for ease of use.

Propane Grill – It’s time to fire up the grill! Whether you’re grilling up some hamburgers and hotdogs or grilling some vegetables, our propane grill can handle anything you need.

Gas Deep Fryer – The options are endless when it comes to our deep fryers! From French fries to fried chicken, churros to fried dough, rent a dent a deep dryer to give your guests both sweet and savory snacks!

Popcorn Machine – Add a bit of fun to your party by renting a popcorn machine! Its carnival-themed look provides a pop (pun intended) of color to your décor while delivering a tasty treat that all your guests will enjoy!

Keep It Warm

Warming Cabinet – You’ve cooked the food, now it’s time to keep it warm. If you’re hosting a sit-down dinner, all the food must be ready to serve at the same time. Warming cabinets keep prepared food safe and warm until it’s time to be served.

Steam Table – Perhaps you’re planning to serve food to your guests buffet-style. Our steam tables come with three pans to hold food. The food is kept warm using steam that comes from boiling water directly beneath the pans.

Chafing Dish – Similar to a steam table, chafing dishes keep food warm for roughly 2 to 6 hours using the steam from boiling water. Individual chafing dishes are more portable than a steam table and allow for a more customized buffet layout. Chafing dishes can also be used to keep food chilled by filling the bottom tray with cold water and ice.

Heat Lamp – Sometimes the simplest of products offer the best solution! If you anticipate only needing to keep dishes warm for a short time, consider renting heat lamps.

Grimes Events & Party Tents has everything you need to throw the perfect party – tents, tables, chairs, tableware, and so much more! Contact us today at 561-853-8368 to get started!

What Your Event Planner Wants You to Know

Event planning is not for the faint of heart. Hiring an event planner can help bring the event you’re dreaming of to life while simultaneously relieving much of the stress that comes with the planning process. If you’re working with an event planner, make sure to get the most out of the experience by keeping these things in mind!

They’re On Your Side – Trust Them

Event planners do this for a living! Having experienced all the ups and downs of numerous events, they know what will result in a major success or a total failure. Your event planner should be listening to your desires but remember to take their advice if they say something won’t end well and work with them to come up with a creative solution!

Be Honest

It’s important to speak openly and honestly with your event planner. They are there to help create a perfect vision for your event! The only way to do this is to share your wants, goals, and opinions with them. If they suggest an idea you’re not crazy about, just tell them! It’s better to be honest in the beginning than to end up with an event that doesn’t turn out how you dreamt it would.

Let Them Do the Work

One of the most beneficial parts of hiring an event planner is getting the chance to relax and enjoy your event! While it may be tempting to have an active hand in the planning process, remember, you hired them for a reason. Especially with large-scale events, there are simply too many details for any one person to tend to. By hiring an event planner, you must be prepared to relinquish part of the control.

Are you planning an event? Contact Grimes Events & Party Tents for all your party rental needs! There are many advantages to renting equipment including a wide variety of options, cost efficiency, and less stress on you!

How to Decorate Rental Chairs

While providing chairs for guests at an event may seem like a mundane task, there are plenty of opportunities to have fun with it! Decorating chairs is a great, cost-effective way to add to your event décor. Depending on what your event décor style is, there are several ways you can decorate your chairs!

Play With Fabrics

One of the most popular ways to decorate chairs is by using fabric. There is a wide variety of fabrics that you can use including satin, lace, chiffon, or burlap. Chiavari chairs are the best option if you plan on using fabric to decorate. The fabric can be draped over the top of the chair and collected behind it using a decorative tie. It could also be interlaced through the back of the chair in an intricate pattern. Another idea is to wrap the fabric around the back of the chair and tie it in a big bow.

Wrap It in Ribbons

Ribbons are a highly underrated décor piece. They can be used for any number of things, including decorations for your chairs! Ribbons come in a myriad of colors and textures to match whatever the aesthetic of the event is. Try tying several ribbons to the top bar of the chair and allowing them to hang down the back, creating a sort of curtain. Or tie a single ribbon into a bow on one of the top corners of the chair for a simple yet elegant look.

Fabulous Florals

As always, florals are a great way to decorate any event. They are highly versatile and allow you to incorporate natural elements into your décor. When it comes to decorating chairs, one idea is to hang small bouquets or floral wreaths off the back of the chairs. For chairs that won’t be moving during the event, try hanging small vases filled with flowers from one of the top corners of our white padded chairs. For example, if you have rustic event décor, hang a mason jar using twine and fill it with wildflowers.

Make It Personal

One of the big trends for events in 2021 is personalized elements. The more personal an event is made to be, the more likely your guests are to remember it! Consider having personalized signs made to hang on the back of the chairs. At the end of the event, let your guests take them home as a party favor!

No matter what your event is or what aesthetic you are going for, Grimes Events & Party Tents can help bring your vision to life! Contact us today at 561-853-8368 to get started!

Severe Weather Prep

As you’re planning your outdoor event, you may wonder, “What if the weather doesn’t cooperate and there’s a storm during my event?” That’s a great question. With a little bit of prep work, you’ll have a great event – rain or shine!

Here are a few things you should do ahead of time when planning your event:

  • Have an evacuation plan for the extreme worst-case scenario
  • Designate one person to decide when the tent should be evacuated in extreme weather
  • Place the tent in an area that is not prone to flooding
  • Be sure to rent tent sidewalls
  • Have a rain plan for any outdoor portion of your event
  • Consider renting a covered walkway for your guests to enter the tent
  • Consider renting an elevated floor if the ground may become muddy

If severe weather is imminent:

  • Keep an eye on the weather forecast
  • If high winds are expected, open the tent sidewalls to allow the wind to blow through the tent
  • Tighten the ratchet straps on the tent

If a storm does arrive during your event, you’ll be prepared. All of our tents are very sturdy and are designed to withstand storms. Of course, in the case of a very severe storm, tropical storm, or hurricane you should vacate the tent. Tents are designed to flex and move slightly during a high wind, but here are some signs that the tent is becoming unsafe:

  • Wind speed is over 38 miles per hour
  • Tent poles are lifting off the ground
  • Tent stakes are pulling out of the ground
  • Tent fabric is starting to tear
  • Nearby trees begin to fall
  • Lightning is striking nearby

If any of these conditions occur or you feel unsafe inside the tent, immediately evacuate everyone to a safe building. If no building is available, guests can go to their cars until the storm passes and the tent is secure.

If you are in a tent during a thunderstorm, keep everyone at least five feet from any tent pole. If the lightning is nearby evacuate everyone from the tent.

Grimes Events & Party Tents is always monitoring the weather. If a severe storm or hurricane is on the horizon, we take the tent down and will work with you on rescheduling your event.

Even though many events have beautiful weather, it’s always best to plan for the worst so that your event can be a success either way!
