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!

2022 Wedding Trends!

 

Spring has sprung and wedding season is in full force. In past years, Covid- 19 put large gatherings to a screeching halt, including weddings. Couples are more ready than ever to celebrate their love and coming into 2022 with a bang. Stay tuned for all the wedding trends you can look forward to all year long.

 

Guest Focus

 

Life is fleeting and full of unexpected turns. Now more than ever couples are choosing intention during this special time. Weddings are becoming far more purposeful, focused on the guest experience overall. Couples are focused on creating an amazing experience for their guests they are sure to take with them. Personalization in décor, entertainment, and interactive activities, are just some of the ways couples are incorporating intention into their big day!

 

My Wedding, My Way!

 

In 2022, couples are breaking away from tradition. We see more couples moving away from the classic cookie-cutter wedding towards a wedding that represents the couple, in whichever way that might be.

Although it’s always a good day for a white wedding, brides are altering what it means to be a beautiful bride on their big day. In 2022, brides are experimenting with colorful wedding dress designs. From ivory, champagne, and nude to hues of peach, blush, and blues, modern brides are stepping outside of the box and we’re here for it!

Wedding themes are becoming more than a perfect color combo for your venue space. Couples are transforming their space into a new realm of possibility. Rustic, Vintage, Garden, and Holidays are just some of the unique themes inspiring wedding design.

Another trend we’re seeing this year is virtual save the dates! A sustainable and easily distributable option in place of paper wedding invitations. The couple can create a graphic design that supports their wedding theme via digital platform like a website. The web page is filled with information about your event, while eliminating costs of printing and shipping fees.

 

Party or Peace? You Decide!

 

Coming into 2022, the traditional expectation of what a wedding should be has been thrown out.

Expectations of what your wedding should look like has changed coming into 2022. The classic grand function has taken a turn for a more intimate gathering. With some influence from the pandemic, some couples decided to have a small ceremony with their close friends and immediate family, packed with intention and attention to detail.

On the other hand, some couples have decided to go all out or go home! Full wedding weekends are also trending right now. With activities, relaxation, and vows tied into a weekend getaway, guests are sure to feel like they are on a vacation of love

 

Grimes sees these trends and evolves with them! Let Grimes Events and Party Tents give you the wedding space of your dreams. Three days of transformations or one simple set up grimes has all your wedding rental needs. Weddings are what we do! Contact us today!

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!

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.

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!

Party With Purpose!

 

Grimes Events and Party Tents have been serving the community for years, providing event rentals to create functional designs for clients. With the many events we have serviced, there is a certain level of purpose behind all of them. Big or small, the purpose is present at every event. Even though there is an intention behind every event, the nature behind the intent is what makes the event truly purposeful or not. With the many things going on in the world, we are offered many opportunities as event professionals to make changes with the events we create.

 

Purposeful events

When planning an event with purpose you or the planner is thinking about it from a non-commercial mindset. The value of this event has a bigger effect than anything we can physically see or gain capital on. An event can be private, corporate, or charitable, all can be done purposely if intended. If the event creates change or brings awareness to a challenging area it successfully served a purpose that ultimately serves the community’s greatest good.

 

How can I make my event purposeful?

There are a few things that can qualify your event as one that embodies purpose. The more important strategy behind creating a purposeful event is the intent behind the function.  Why are you having this event? How is it going to have a long-term positive effect on others? These answers can be very simple or more complex but regardless, the pure intention behind the answers ensures the event is yielding a level of purpose. If you want to give back through your event there are so many ways to do this. Some examples are having a reputable speaker, inviting members of your community who sit in high places, as their presence is a resource to uplift the purpose. Lastly, using admission to give proceeds to an establishment in need.

 

What makes a purposeful event special?

Having a purposeful event also offers some hidden perks besides being overall beneficial to a cause. One of the biggest highlights of a purposeful event is the transformation it brings.  If you promote a purpose at your event, you are also creating a space for the public to engage with the topic or purpose. This engagement works as a catalyst to educate and inform your guest about a purpose you find important. Another thing that makes an event with purpose stand out is the feedback you’ll get after the event. Feedback gives your event exposure that continues far after the event is over. This feedback can also manifest itself as new followers, subscribers, sign-ups, or donations. Overall, this is giving your purpose the support it deserves.

 

Examples of a purposeful event 

When we think of purposeful events, we automatically think of a charitable type of event. Food drives, raising funds for cancer research, helping the homeless, etc. All these events are clearly doing something to give back to a moral cause. Although this is a direct way to create a purposeful event, there are other subtle ways to incorporate purpose in any event.

For example, a wedding. Depending on your theme and time of year for a wedding, the host can incorporate purpose through their personalization. Incorporating information on an important cause in the wedding favor, asking guests to donate to a cause rather than gifts, or ensuring all materials and vendors you’re working with have an ethical and sustainable background, are just some of the ways to bring a deeper purpose to a wedding day.

Here at Grimes Events & Party Tents, we believe in incorporating purpose into everything we do. When we provide essential and well-equipped tent and party rentals, the purpose does not stop there. We are more than creating exceptional event designs. We pride ourselves on being woman-owned and operated. We support women’s rights, encourage power in all women, and support our community. We put this essence in every event we service. Contact Grimes Event & Party Tents to create a beautiful event with a purpose.

Event Planning: Selecting Your Venue

 

Picking a venue for your event can be a big part of your overall event planning process. Make selecting a venue easy by learning what to look for when beginning to search. Start with a vision and purpose for your event, then incorporate these tips to create the perfect venue space.

 

Location

Location is important to keep in mind when choosing a venue. The region where the venue is located can affect how accessible it is for guests. Without a guest, there is no event. Ensure that all guests can travel safely and have efficient access to enjoy all aspects of the venue space. Look into entrance ramps and parking spaces at your venue location.  Speaking of space, one of the first things you should know when picking a venue is how many guests will be there. This will establish the size venue that’s needed and can impact the comfortability of the venue.

 

Select a place

Once you have addressed the event size, you can decide where you want your event to take place. Finding a venue that has all your event needs in one place and can be designed to carry your theme is crucial. Although the fastest way to select a venue is picking one that is already built, it can be hard to get everything you want out of one venue space. The room could be large but there is only one bathroom, or there is a dancefloor but not much room to dance. If you find yourself having a difficult time checking all the boxes of your venue requirements, don’t settle. Building your venue can be more personalized and just as fun. For more information about personalizing your event space, read our blogs on Tent Rentals for Every Event and What is Your Event Décor Style?

 

Build your own space

Starting from scratch allows the event planner to build out the event the way they imagined, and not what the venue confines them to. A great way to build a custom venue is by renting a party tent. Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a variety of sizes and styles of outdoor party tents. Another great aspect of a party tent is it can be put anywhere opening the doors for endless locations. It can be on a beach, a farm, a park, or even your backyard. No matter where the event is, its one-of-a-kind setup will leave a lasting impression.

When you build out an event you can use one tent or multiple to build the structure of your choice. Add on rooms inside the tent or just off the tent to accommodate a lounge in addition to your event space. This is a great way to incorporate an upscale lounging area for your guests to relax. Maximize your space by organizing it the way it works best for your event. Incorporate rentals like a stage for entertainment, a floor for dancing, rentals for catering, and even luxury portable restrooms. Grimes Events & Party Tents has countless event rentals that will transform your space into a one-of-a-kind venue.

 

Transforming your venue

Décor, theme, style, and functionality are all essential parts of having a memorable venue. Think about what kind of event this is and what kind of response you would like to evoke from your guest. Figuring out what you want out of your event will help you determine the essence of the celebration.  The theme or subject of the event will be the inspiration for the setup and décor inside. Tableware, statement pieces, lighting, music, colors, seating, refreshments, and any other personalization will make up the theme of the event. Think about the atmosphere you are trying to create with the décor. Will it be warm, cool, airy, intimate, fun, or sophisticated? The list goes on and creativity takes over. Take stock of your decorative goals for the venue and start trying things out.  Its highly recommended to take furniture, décor, and color swatches to the venue to get an idea of what the final product could look like.

If you are finding it hard to spark creativity, get inspiration from other events. Research common themes or trending décor to get a feel of beautiful materials you can include in your décor. A great source of inspiration is from event planning businesses like Grimes Events & Party Tents. Check out our social media and website to view our gallery of successful event setups.

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!

Hosting A Winter Event

 

Summer is over but the festivities have just begun. Winter is a beautiful time of year filled with celebrations and gatherings. With many national holidays taking place during the winter, it’s only right that events continue this time of year. If you are hosting a winter event this year, here are a few tips and tricks that are sure to keep guests comfortable wherever you are.

 

Weather Conditions

 

Here in Florida, winter doesn’t mean heavy snow and ice but does take some adjusting for locals. Sunny days drop from the high eighties and nighties to the mid-seventies while the nights become crisper and cooler at temperatures of fifty to sixty degrees. In other regions of the country, snowfall and hazardous weather conditions are more prominent so precautions must be taken. Although Winter looks different around the country, wherever you are it’s important to have a backup plan for your event. Having a “plan B” is essential to all events but especially winter events where the host is heavily relying on aspects of the plan. To be prepared, set aside backups for all heating, tent, and other rental equipment.

 

Durable Equipment

 

Regardless of how winter looks where you are, having durable equipment like Frame Tents, High Peak Tents, Heaters, and insulated Stage & Flooring are key in maintaining and enjoying a winter event.  Grimes Events and Party Tents offer weather-resistant tents that are steaked into the ground. With a solid shelter installed, guests won’t have to worry about the weather outside, inside the tent. If you are hosting a winter event, it’s recommended to use a frame tent, that can then be closed on all sides if needed. Now that the four walls are up, a host must factor in heat during the chili months of winter. Space heaters are great for indoor or outdoor winter events. The number of heaters needed is based on the space of the event. When placing heaters, it’s wise to place them where guests will be seated or will remain through the event. Another great way to support a warm and cozy winter event is the addition of flooring. Using flooring will help insulate heat inside your tent while also giving guests a smooth walkway or dancing platform.

 

Food and Drink

 

While the setup is crucial in hosting a great winter event another aspect that can take your event from comfortable to cozy is the selection of refreshments. This is a great opportunity to further establish your winter theme. Warm and filling foods are best for a winter event. Cups of chili, soups, and hearty pasta are great examples of warm comfort foods to serve at your winter event. For drinks, think warm and delicious. Hot chocolate, hot cider, tea, and coffee are all special winter drinks that tie in perfectly with the winter esthetic, while also keeping guests warm from the inside out.

Winter Trends

 

The best part about A winter event is the décor! Winter has a theme of its own, snow, ice, glitter, evergreen, and a variation of magical lighting. Not only is winter beautiful as is, there are also a few of the nation’s biggest holidays that happen during the winter months. Christmas and New years are great times to create an immaculate winter celebration. Winter trends allow hosts and planners to do something different with their décor. Some trends that we’re seeing this winter season are warm and cool lighting. If you are going for a cozy winter feel, Edison Bulbs provides a warm esthetic that cascades throughout the whole venue. For an icier winter look, Globe Lamps are perfect for creating the essence of a Winter wonderland. These gorgeous lamps backed by snow and pine reach a mix of winter and warmth. For an icier winter look, icy blue LED UP Lights coated over an all-white winter event, looks like jack frost decorated it himself!

 

Winter comes and goes but the memory of an epic winter event will stay with guests for a lifetime. Don’t let cooler weather stop you from hosting a beautiful event. Embrace the chill! With a combination of durable equipment, proper refreshments, and glamorous décor, guests are sure to find themselves in a winter wonderland they won’t want to leave! If you are planning a winter event, Grimes Events and Party Tents provides event rentals and expertise to help you create a winter escape.

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!
