Summer Wedding Guide

 

Wedding season is upon us! With summer approaching outdoor weddings have been on the rise. If you are considering an outdoor wedding, we’ve constructed a guide with our tips for a successful outdoor wedding.

 

Stay Hydrated

With the Summer heat, it’s important to make sure you and your guests stay hydrated during the wedding ceremony and reception. This can be done by making sure your venue has a hydration station with water bottles throughout the reception and ceremony area. Create the perfect refreshment station with our banquet tables. Banquet tables are great for spreading out food and drinks.

 

Comfort

During an outdoor wedding in the summer, you may be prone to dealing with mosquitoes. Add an element of décor and fight of the pest with a Citronella Candle. Dress up the candles with a variety of table wear. While the bugs can be a minor inconvenience it’s important to consider the sun, and its effects on guests. Renting a tent is going to be essential when throwing an outdoor wedding.

 

Party Tents

Not all tents are created equal and selecting the proper tent for your big day is important. From Clear Frame Top Tents that let the sun shine in, to Pole Tents that give the space a grand feel, we have a wide array of tents that will suit any outdoor wedding.

Additionally, Grimes Events & Party Tents has all the cooling rentals you will need to control the climate inside of your tent!

 

Bathrooms

Another important thing to note for your outdoor wedding is the bathroom. In order to make sure your guests are comfortable and have access to a bathroom, you can rent restroom trailers. Grimes offers a vast selection of bathroom trailers including: Single stall ADA restroom trailers, 3-stall restroom trailers, 5-stall luxury restroom trailers, and 9-stall restroom trailers.

 

Dress Comfortably

With an outdoor wedding, you’ll want to dress comfortably depending on the temperature and location of the venue. For the reception, you can bring a spare pair of shoes, so you don’t tarnish your special shoes for the big day.

Grimes Events & Party Tents is exited to build you the wedding venue of your dreams this summer. Contact us for all your rental needs today!

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!

If you can reimagine the colors and look of the surrounding walls, Pipe and Drape are a great addition to your event space.

Guest Accommodations

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.

Keeping Guests Comfortable

No matter what the main focus of your event is, it’s important to make sure that your guests feel comfortable. Whether they are mingling at a corporate event, browsing at a business event, or dancing the night away at a backyard wedding, there are plenty of precautions you can take to ensure your guests’ comfort.

Rain or Shine

The weather can be unpredictable. Therefore, it’s important to prepare for a myriad of situations. Rent a tent to help keep your guests cool from the Florida sun and dry from unexpected rain showers! Our frame tents are especially helpful in protecting guests from less-than-ideal weather. They can be placed together to cover the walkway from the building to where the tent is set up outside! Other accessories to consider include side curtains that can help block out excessive wind or fans to encourage air circulation.

Relax and Recharge

Consider giving your guests a chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of the event by creating a lounge area. If the venue allows for it, set the lounge area away from crowded spaces. If this is not possible, you can use pipe and drape to give your guests the illusion of privacy. Provide your guests with luxurious seating options like our lounge furniture. Decorate with soft lighting to create a calming atmosphere.

It’s All in the Details

People pay attention to the details. Therefore, you’ll want to make sure that you do too! There are plenty of small changes you can make to your event that will help to keep your guests happy and comfortable. Offer activities for your guests but don’t force them to participate. Take your time when creating the seating arrangement. Seating in small, familiar groups will help people to feel more at ease. If your event is being held outdoors, consider renting a luxury restroom trailer – the ultimate comfort for your guests!

Which Tent Is Right for Your Event?

At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have tent rentals for every occasion! From small, backyard get-togethers to large, corporate events and everything in between, we offer a wide variety of party rentals to best suit a wide variety of needs. Grimes Events & Party Tents is here to help your dream event come to life!

Types of Tents

Frame Tents come in a variety of sizes, making them our most versatile and therefore most popular tent rental option. These tents can be installed on decks, close to buildings, and any relatively level surface. Our frame tents are available with either a white or clear top. This type of tent is best used for events that have seating plans or a lot of guest movement is anticipated.

Pole Tents are excellent for weddings, festivals, company events, and more. These elegant tents, sometimes referred to as circus tents, have central support pole(s) down the center to create a clean, swooping look for the canopy. Pole tents offer a traditional look that is both cost-efficient and flexible.

High Peak Tents have a similar look as the pole tents but are better for smaller events. Built with a solid aluminum frame and covered with PVC-coated fabric, these tents are both beautiful and functional. They are available in either 10 x 10 ft or 15 x 15 ft and can either be used singly or placed side by side to create an aesthetically pleasing village grouping.

Structural Tents are heavy-duty frame tents, generally used for large events or long-term installations such as additional restaurant seating, construction projects, or repeat events. One benefit to these tents is the high ceilings that offer some extra height and space.

Things to Consider

Location, location, location. Tents can be installed using different methods. Therefore, where you plan on placing the tent is a large contributing factor when choosing which tent is right for you. Will the tent be placed on grass, concrete, asphalt, sand, or a deck? Is the ground relatively level? Will it need to be close to other structures, such as a building? The tent space will need to be free of obstacles, including fences, swing sets, underground power lines, sprinkler systems, etc. Make sure to take all these factors into account when choosing your tent!

The size of your tent depends on how many guests you are planning to have at your event. We suggest following the general guidelines of:

Cathedral seating – minimum 8 sq ft per guest, plus aisles

Standing event – minimum 10 sq ft per guest

Seated dining – depends on the table size and layout

The number of guests is just one of the many things to consider when choosing the size of your tent rental. Other considerations should include whether you will be having a buffet, bar, dancefloor, sign-in table, DJ table, etc.

Complete your tent by renting any number of tent accessories, some being practical and others being fashionable. Depending on the type of event and the venue, you may want to consider renting flooring, side curtains, doors, or cooling products. Top it all off by renting décor for your tent such as pipe and drape or lighting!

Are you still unsure what tent rental is right for you? The team at Grimes Events & Party Tents is here to help! Contact us today at 561-853-8368 for more information!
