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.

Must-Have Outdoor Event Rentals!

 

Spring has sprung and Grimes Events & Party Tents is excited to get to work this season!  Spring is one of the best times to have an outdoor event and we have all your rental needs! We have tent rentals and everything underneath them for the perfect outdoor event.

Tents

Grimes Events & Party Tents offers various tent sizes for any function. Tents are a great option for outdoor events as they are a shelter that can be placed anywhere and filled with any type of décor! Options are truly endless when creating an event under a party tent!

Moving into spring, we love to see our Clear-Top Frame Tents in action. The clear-top tent is perfect for any outdoor event you may be hosting. This tent style allows all the sunlight into your event and removes the need for artificial lighting!

High-Peak Festival Tents are also popular in the spring as their height adds a level of space that captivates the guests and is perfect for outdoor events. The space of the tent leaves room for sunlight to fill the tent, while also creating a grand space for a large outdoor event.

Having an outdoor event doesn’t mean being limited to a single space. Pipe and Drape can be added to any party tent to create sections or rooms that can add an element of exploration and dimension to your space.

 

Outdoor seating

Chairs are not all created equal when it comes to outdoor events. Depending on the density of the soil, some chair rentals hold up better compared to others. Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a variety of chairs that function perfectly on soil, grass, and cement.

Our Samsonite Chair is the classic durable folding chair. This seat comes in black and white to match any décor your event has.

The Chiavari Chair is a crowd favorite. This chair is strong and beautifully decorated, coming in white, black, clear, and gold. This is a more upscale step up from the classic Samsonite chair and is perfect for weddings or any sophisticated functions.

Lounge furniture is something that can change the essence of the event. Lounge furniture is usually more comfortable and comes in modern styles that catch the guest’s eyes. Transform your space into a comfy bohemian relaxation area in the day, or a space that emits a upscale, nightlife experience in the evening. Products like our Hi- Tops tables, Lounge Ottomans, and LED Cubes, make up some of the aspects to a functional outdoor lounge area outdoors.

 

Luxury Restroom Trailers

When it comes to hosting an outdoor event the restroom for guests can often be overlooked. This can be a tricky situation when you are not at an indoor venue that has a facility included. Grimes has this covered for you with our variety of luxury restroom trailers! Depending on the size of your event, we offer 9 stall, 5 stall, 3 stall, and single stall trailers for guests to use the restroom in comfortable and clean quarters.

 

Stage and Flooring

While a stage and flooring aren’t a necessity for an amazing and functional outdoor event, it is a great option to incorporate in the layout of a tent space.

A stage can act as a focal point of an event as it’s the most elevated level of the space. Here, you can add an extravagant design element, a DJ, or  other source of entertainment. If your event  entertainment or a host, a stage will level up the experience.

Flooring is also a great addition to an outdoor event. This not only offers a stable and smooth ground for guests to comfortably walk, it also doubles as a dance floor. This communicates to guests that dancing is encouraged!

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!

Winter Wedding: What your Wedding Planner Wants you to Know

Most couples stay away from a wedding date in the winter and understandably, considering the intimidating weather and busyness that the winter months bring. Regardless, all these obstacles have an easy fix and shouldn’t stop you from experiencing a wedding straight out of a wintery fairytale. The proper preparation beforehand will ensure a magical and unforgettable winter wedding

Attire

 

As we know, it’s tradition for the bride to be the star of the show. With a gorgeous gown and beautiful glow, the bride is halfway to the perfect wedding. A long sleeve dress or use of fashion pieces like capes, cardigans, or long veils can be a great way to stay warm as a winter bride.

Event attendees must also consider the weather when deciding on their attire for the night. Layered outfits and proper footwear will be important to keep yourself comfortable and safe during the wedding festivities.

For a cohesive and enjoyable wedding experience the bridal party must be on the same page. Taking care of your bridal party is essential in optimizing your weddings experience. Your bridal party are your guests with specific requirements and responsibilities. Give your party the resources they need to make the best of a winter wedding. Select gowns and footwear that will offer them a comfortable experience. If the bridal party is happy and feels good about their attire the energy will be felt through the venue. Now, the style isn’t only for women. Men also need special attention in the fashion department. Playing with textures, materials, and colors adds a unique touch while also adding warmth to a suit or coat.

Prepare your guests

 

Although weddings are solely for representing the love and commitment of the special couple, we know the guest experience can become the most important aspect of a wedding. When you are having a winter wedding there are a few factors to keep in mind when it comes to your guests. Notifying guests early is going to yield the best outcome. With all the chaos and festivities that come with the winter seasons, the guest will need to know about the wedding in advance. This way they can plan around the holidays and end-of-year events they might have.

For many weddings, there is a bit of traveling involved for everyone in attendance. Make this known to your guests and encourage them to give themselves extra traveling time. For example, if you are having your winter-themed wedding here in Florida, you might have guests driving in from other states. With the spike in health concerns that come with air travel, some of your extended family and friends will likely take a road trip if it’s doable. There is a chance that weather conditions could be hazardous for drivers so getting to the wedding safely is priority. Stress this to your guests and prepare them for any risks that could occur during travel. All this information can be included in your invitations to establish expectations for guests while also highlighting the theme.

Winter Wonderland

 

The most memorable aspect of your winter wedding is the Venue and Décor.

Venue

When it comes to a winter wedding, something that will make the transition from the ceremony to the reception a lot easier is finding a venue where you can do it all. Take your time to find the perfect place that will work for your ceremony, reception, and any other special aspect under one roof. One of the most beautiful things about a winter wedding is utilizing the snow and nature to incorporate into your venue. If guests can look out the window and see beautiful snowy mountains, or natural elements of winter, they will really feel like they are in a winter escape. Consider how a scenic venue will take your wedding to the next level.

A winter wedding essential is a coat check. A safe place for guests to put their belongings is a great addition to any wedding but especially one that takes place in winter. A coat check is not only functional but can be a place to include personal touches or carry on the theme of the décor. Cute additions like mini hand warmers, personal blankets, and winter-themed party favors will bring a special touch to the venue. These special touches done specifically for guests are what they will remember for years to come. Personalization like these that are done in the winter, gives brides and grooms space to play with unique ideas that maybe would not fit in during warmer months.

Another aspect that can take your event from comfortable to cozy is the selection of refreshments. Include warm drinks like apple cider, hot cocoa, or coffee. Warm and filling foods are best for a winter wedding. Cups of chili, soups, and hearty pasta are great examples of warm comfort foods to serve on your big day. Having the proper catering equipment is an efficient way to keep your food and refreshments fresh. Grimes Events & Party Tents offers heating, cooling, and storing, catering equipment.

Décor

The great thing about a winter wedding is being able to play with unique themes inspired by the season. Winter is a theme itself, so there are many variations of the special aspects of winter. With the incorporation of natural elements, lighting, and personal touches, you can create your dream winter wonderland.  Get creative and do extensive research on winter themes and pick the one that best represents you and your partner.

A winter wedding is a catalyst to a unique experience and immaculate wedding pictures that look like they are straight from a magazine. Don’t let these winter months stop you from having the wedding of your dreams. Embrace the cold weather and the beauty it brings. Grimes Events & Party Tents has a variety of event rentals for the perfect winter wedding. Contact us today!

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!
