Must Have Vendors For Your Next Event

Just like magic, an event seems to come together in the eyes of a guest, but the true magicians are the various vendors who piece them together to create an enchanting ambiance. It truly takes a village to bring someone’s vision to life. Consider the following vendors for your next celebration to take your function to the next level. 

Event Planner 

If you want someone to organize your event, hiring an event planner is a great option. Event planners have experience in all aspects of creating a cohesive event, starting with the planning that goes into it. They are also a great source of connections. Your event planner will already have contacts for credible vendors to utilize. 

Catering 

A catering vendor ensures a quality hassle-free food service experience for everyone. Not only is the vendor qualified in gourmet cooking for large groups of people, but it elevates the event’s atmosphere. Often, caterers will create a menu based on food preferences or on the theme of the event. They provide an entire service that includes cooking, plating, serving, and more. Caterers will discreetly hover during the event to ensure all food handling needs are met.  

Entertainment

A must-have at any function is entertainment. Entertainment can come in many forms. The best events have an established plan for entertainment for the duration of the event. This can be a speaker, a show, a dance, or even party games. The most important form of entertainment is a great DJ. Yes, the DJ brings the party to life with music but also works as a guide or host during the event. 

Event Rentals 

An event would not be a functional space without party rentals. Vendors like Grimes Events & Party Tents are essential in creating a space that is efficient for guests to sit, dance, eat, relax, and overall enjoy the celebration. Party rentals can include party tents, tables, chairs, lighting, flooring, staging, portable restrooms, décor, and much more. Guests need tables and chairs to be seated, a DJ might need a stage to set up on, and dancing can be made intentional with a specialized dance floor. Event rentals create the foundation of the event in its entirety and everything else comes secondary to building out the space. 

Décor 

Now that the bones of the event are built out, vendors that specialize in décor are needed to transform the look and feel of the space. The décor team is responsible for bringing the event holders’ vision to life. They will establish colors, themes, lighting, florals, decorations, and any personal touches. The décor will be one of the first aspects to stand out at any event. Décor can be created by one vendor or a group of them where each vendor specializes in a niche area of decorating. For example, your event planner could handle linens and balloons while a florist would focus on creating flower arrangements to dress the space. 

Photographers 

Did the event even happen if there are no photos? Having a photographer or videographer is especially important at any event. These functions take great efforts to create so capturing these memories to look back on is essential. It also helps the many vendors who participated, highlight their products and services. 

If you are looking to create a well-rounded function, big or small, having a variation of these vendors is essential to getting the most out of your celebration. Investing in a caterer, party rentals, entertainment, event decorator, and a photographer will yield the best experience for everyone in attendance. 

As a host, you can relax knowing all your event needs are met and your guests are accounted for. Get a head start on planning your next spring event! For any party rentals or event needs, contact Grimes Events & Party Tents today!

Table Setting: Casual to Formal

A table setting can say a lot about the quality of an event. It’s important to find different details to incorporate into your festivities that will wow guests. This can be easily achieved with a unique table setting at any event.

Linens

Linens are common at many events to give a solid color and finish to any table. It’s important to have basic linens even if they are just white, they are handy to protect tables and party rentals from damage during the event. Not only are they essential for functional purposes, but they also add an element of multi-textural design to tabletops at any event. Event planners can stack colored linens on textured linens to create the desired effect as a base for other toppers on the table setting. In comparison to plastic table covers, quality linens are sure to bring your casual event to an upscale environment.

 

Serving Dishes

Your table setting is only as good as your serving wear. If you are looking to create a formal atmosphere having decorative serving dishes will create the essence of excellence.  Detailed serving dishes that match the color or theme of your event will surely impress guests. Although there are a lot of plastic dupes for table wear that look great, if you’re looking to go formal, heavier materials like metal, glass, and ceramic will give your event an expensive feel even on a budget! Using these materials is also helpful in creating less waste with their reusable nature of the serving dishes. Grimes Events and Party Tents’, Antique Chargers are a great example of a luxurious design element.

 

Pop of color

Working with color on your table setting is sure to take a table setting to another level. Small splashes of color can add a personal touch while also catching the guest’s attention. Colors can range from bright to subtle when considering a formal layout for your event. Flowers, napkins, nameplates, and chargers are a few personal touches that can be paired with a signature color for your event.

Greenery is a foolproof addition to take your table settings go from casual to formal. A variety of plants can add a fresh and elegant look to any table setting no matter the event. Paired with neutral linens and gold and bronze serving dishes, you can create a beautiful earthy but formal table setting.

Grimes Event & Party Tents works to combine all these decorative elements to create the perfect event specialized for the client. With extra care and detail, you can take these elements and amplify them to go from casual and cute to a formal extravaganza.

Tips for Table & Seating Arrangements

There are many aspects of event planning that can be stressful. When looking at a blank table and seating chart, you may initially feel overwhelmed – but don’t fret! Grimes Events & Tents is here to help with all the information you need to properly plan your table and seating arrangement.

Popular Types of Tables

At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we offer a variety of tables to rent for your special occasion. When planning table rentals for your event, make sure to consider how much space you will have, how many people will be attending, and the aesthetic you want to achieve.

Round tables are generally able to seat more people meaning you won’t need to rent as many tables. Overall, this can cut down on costs. The most popular table rental is the 60” round table which seats 8-10 people.

Rectangular tables are considered trendier for events these days, giving guests the feeling of a big, family dinner.

Top Tips

When creating a table and seating arrangement for an event, keeping certain things in mind will ensure your guests are comfortable and have a great time!

  • Assign people to tables, but not to specific seats.
  • Consider the individuals you are placing together. Do they know each other? If not, try to place people together that are of similar ages or have similar interests.
  • Consider those who may need specific access. For example, those with mobility aids should be placed with easy access to their seats and the exits. Elderly guests and children should be seated away from loud speakers.
  • Provide a clear seating chart or place cards so that guests don’t get confused about where they should sit.

Inspiration

Are you looking for a way to add the “wow” factor to your event? There are plenty of creative ideas you can try to surprise your guests! Use a mix of round and rectangular tables, a mix of differently sized tables, or use oddly shaped tables, like our serpentine table, to create an eye-catching display. You can also arrange your tables in any number of ways such as a U, a V, a W, a plus, an X, or an O. When arranging your tables, just remember to keep the venue and event’s intention in mind so that the tables do not interfere or cause unnecessary difficulty for your guests. Lastly, if the venue allows for it, try spreading the tables and seating across several areas. For example, you can place some in the courtyard, the gardens, or under a tent.

If you are planning an event, remember that there are many advantages to renting any equipment you may need! Contact Grimes Events & Party Tents today at 561-853-8368 for more information!

Keeping Kids Entertained

The age-old question of how to keep a child entertained is one that continues to pose challenges in the event planning industry. However, there are several creative options that suit a variety of events!

Craft Table

One common idea used to entertain children at events is to set up a craft table. There are many options when creating a craft table. One idea is to gather all the necessary materials for a specific craft and put them in a goodie bag. That way, the children have all the supplies organized and sorted before starting their craft. An even easier way to set up a craft table would be to purchase a butcher paper roll, lay it on a table, and provide crayons. This big, blank canvas can provide children with hours of entertainment!

Movie/Game Room

If you have the space available, consider setting up a movie room! This will help keep kids entertained with minimal disruption to the adults enjoying the event. Another option is to set up a game room. Depending on the ages of the children, you could include toddler toys, board games, or even activities such as ping-pong or air hockey tables!

Outdoor Games

With the beautiful Florida weather, many events in the area are held outdoors. Consider providing outdoor lawn games such as ring toss, corn hole, or giant tic-tac-toe. Not only will these games help to keep the young ones entertained, but they are also becoming a popular trend amongst weddings for adults to enjoy as well!

Photo Booth

Photo booths are another current trend in the event industry. These are a great way to entertain both children and adults, giving them something to do during downtime. Make your photo booth extra fun by making it themed according to your event or by providing props for people to pose with. Not only will people have a blast while using the photo booth, but it is also a great way to provide party favors!

At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we can provide you with all your event rental needs including tents, restroom trailers, tables, chairs, and more! Give us a call today to find out what we can do to make your next event the best one yet!

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.

Are you planning an event? Perhaps your event could also benefit from a tent rental! Contact the team at Grimes Events & Party Tents today for more information.

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!
