Lighting options for your next tent rental no matter what the occasion is essential to accent your event. After working with our customers in many different industries we have identified the 6 awesome Grimes Events & Party Tents lighting options for your next tent rental. Adding lighting to your next Florida tent rental can be used to make a statement, enhance the classiness of your event or for the functionality of keeping the party going to the wee hours of the night.

The 6 Awesome Grimes Events & Party Tents Lighting Options we discovered are:

  1. Crystal Chandeliers: Our 3ft long, cascading chandeliers add just the touch of simple elegance.
  2. Italian Market Lighting: This is the most traditional tent lighting. It has light a little smaller than a traditional light bulb on a light strand and can be installed around the perimeter of the tent or through the middle.
  3. LED Light Strands: These are a great way to add a unique look to your event and make it give it a natural out door look.
  4. Up lighting: Up lighting provides great accent lighting to your event and can add a real pop of color! It makes a statement and provides the classy look that any wedding or upscale event can use to color accent their event.
  5. Paper Lanterns: Are a great way to provide a unique lighting over the crowd, they come in many different colors and sizes, they are an elegant look that is great for weddings and gala events. These Lanterns can also be used without lights for excellent aesthetics for your event.
  6. Globe Chandelier: Go retro with our Globe chandelier. It’s comprised of white plastic and is 24? tall and 24? in diameter with 4 branches. We can install a dimmer switch as well.
    Optional lighting is an excellent accent your party. It will enhance the look and feel of your event making it elegant and classy.

Outdoor Rentals For Parties: What Not to Forget

Prepare for the Worst

It’s your big day, and you want everything to be perfect. You are, however, going to have to give a little. When planning an outdoor wedding, it is critical to make preparations for all kinds of weather. Party tent rentals or wedding tent rentals can be fresh and simple, or sophisticated and detailed. Wedding tents rentals will keep guests comfortable in summer heat and/or protect dresses and suits if it should rain.

Make your guests’ comfort top priority by making sure your site is well-equipped with things like fans, outdoor heating units, well-lit paths to the bathrooms, refreshing non-alcoholic drinks, and citronella candles.

Be Considerate of All Guests

Keep your senior guests in mind as you plan the ceremony and reception. If you are inviting young children, you will need to consider them, too. I recommend if there will be a lot of walking from the parking lot to the clearing in the woods or a beach walk where the ceremony is, let them know ahead of time on the website or even the invite.

Keep Your Wedding Well-Lit

The Knot recommends lighting up your reception area with paper lanterns, strands of lights, candles, and delicate chandeliers. Lights can make the difference between a drab, boring wedding – or a beautiful, unforgettable venue.

Outdoor weddings are all the rage. Keep your outdoor wedding planning under wraps with party tent rentals, clear descriptions of the venue for guests of all ages, and plenty of twinkling lights.
