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.

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!

Pantone, a company best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS), created a language of colors used by a variety of industries including graphic design, fashion design, product design, printing, and manufacturing. Since 2000, Pantone has chosen a color (or two) each year that they deem fitting for the current times. How do they decide which color should represent the prediction of the next 365 days? Pantone states that the Color of the Year is actually “… a color snapshot of what we see taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.”
Colors of the Year 2021
Only once before, in 2016, has Pantone decided to match two colors for the Color of the Year. This year, once again, two colors have been chosen.
PANTONE® 17-5104 Ultimate Gray, a color that reflects dependability, composure, and strength.
PANTONE® 13-0647 Illuminating, a color that projects energy, joyfulness, and hope.
After a year filled with hardship, many are looking toward the year 2021 with a refreshed sense of strength and hope. Ultimate Gray might represent the strength we have found within ourselves this past year while Illuminating yellow provides us with hope for the future.
How to Use Them at Your Next Event
Pantone’s Color of the Year 2021 choices can create a great aesthetic for any event. Ultimate Gray will help your guests to feel calm and confident while Illuminating will help them to feel energized and happy. Here a few ways you can mix these colors at your next event:
Create an interesting contrast by putting brilliant yellow flowers in gray vases.
Use gray tableware to maintain elegance but lay down yellow linens to add a pop of color.
If you are renting lounge furniture, incorporate the colors in by adding gray and yellow throw pillows.
The opportunities for this color combination are endless. If you need help planning your next event, reach out to us today! At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have all your rental needs!
Planning an event can quickly become overwhelming. Creating a checklist can help you to stay organized and on schedule for the day of the event. At Grimes Events and Party Tents, we aim to help our guests stay stress-free and happy so that they can get the most out of their experience. Here is a simplified checklist of things to consider when planning your next event:
Decide on a Date, Time, and Venue
Depending on the type of event, certain days or times may be considered more appropriate than others. Also, try to take into consideration the availability of your guests. Choosing a venue will depend on the type of event and how many guests you plan on inviting. Beyond those factors, you also want to consider location, parking, layout, features, accessibility, ambiance, and cost.
Invite Your Guests
Figure out how many people you want to invite and decide if there is a limit on how many guests you can allow based on the budget you created. Invite your guests with plenty of time to spare. If it is an open invitation to the public, make sure the event is well-promoted through outlets such as social media.
Choose the Food
Will you provide the food yourself or will you hire a caterer? What food will be served? Will there be allergy-friendly or vegetarian options? How will it be served? Would you prefer buffet-style or plated table service? If you choose to provide the food yourself, we offer catering equipment for rental that will keep your food fresh and make your life much easier.
Select the Décor
Regardless of the type of event you are planning, décor is a must. Maybe you choose to go with a theme or a specific color scheme. Consider the purpose of your event and the mood you are aiming to set.
Plan accordingly to help your guests stay safe and healthy while attending the event. Encourage your guests to follow all CDC guidelines including frequent hand washing, maintaining social distancing, wearing a mask, covering coughs and sneezes, regularly disinfecting, and monitoring overall health. Inform your guests that if they are feeling ill, they should not attend the event. Take initiative by providing masks and cleaning stations. Utilize rentals such as tents, restroom trailers, hand sanitizing stations, stanchions, and isolation dividers to help guests maintain social distancing.
Event planning is not for the faint of heart. Whether you are choosing to plan your own event or are considering hiring an event planner, we are happy to provide you with anything you need for the big day. Contact us at 561-853-8368 to inquire about what rentals we have to offer and how we can bring your event to the next level!
Over the last several months, countless events have been canceled in an attempt to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. With some states slowly considering reopening, a new normal will be defined as events begin happening again. What should you expect for the future of events? Here are a few things to keep in mind as we move forward:
Maintaining Social Distancing
Events in the foreseeable future will remain small and locally based. The footprint of events will need to be larger to accommodate for social distancing and will take place outdoors, allowing people to spread out. The use of pre-registration and check-in stations are encouraged to keep track of how many guests are attending an event. Take advantage of our chair, table, and lounge furniture rentals as they can be strategically placed to ensure your guests maintain proper social distancing.
Utilizing Technology
Technology will be a key component both before and during any future events. Through the use of websites and social media, you can maintain clear communication with guests, letting them know about any guidelines or restrictions that are set in place regarding the event. It is becoming increasingly popular to host hybrid events, where a small group of people attend the event itself and others attend virtually by using live streaming. Mobile apps and social media play a big part in bringing life to an event. Using hashtags and sharing photos or videos is a great way to keep everyone in the loop, even if they are unable to attend.
Safety Guidelines
Setting in place new safety measures is a must at any future events. Providing handwashing stations, hand sanitizer, gloves, and masks will help your guests feel safe as well as help to keep the venue clean. Depending on your event, you might consider having a dedicated cleaning crew to regularly sanitize any high traffic areas such as restrooms, tables, chairs, etc. If your event takes place outdoors, we now offer luxury restroom trailers for rental.
No one can know for certain when, or if, events will ever be the way that they used to. For the time being, the aforementioned aspects can be expected at events. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we are here to help you prepare for your next event while ensuring safety. Contact us today at 561-853-8368 so that we can help you navigate this new norm.
