Custom Climate Control

 

While décor and theme are considered essential when putting together a great event, functionality and logistics are the backbones of an efficient function. Keeping your space comfortable and safe is going to yield the best result when planning an event.

Grimes Events & Party Tents not only provides customers with grand tents and everything underneath them but also the rentals that maintain a comfortable climate during the hot summer months. Read on to ensure you have all the rentals you need for your next celebration.

Fans

A necessity for any tented event is a fan. Whether you are in a closed tent or open tent, air circulation is a must. Gathering friends and family together under one roof can cause overwhelming heat and humidity.  Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a variety of fans that reach different points of the tent. 12” Pole Fans can be clipped at any level of a tent pole. This fan is easily movable making it accessible at any area in the tent. Ceiling Fans are a great way to move the air that rises to the top of the tent. This style can also double and a form of décor. Misting Fans are a way to add moisture to the environment. This is especially convenient on a very hot dry day.

HVAC System

HVAC System is an all-in-one way to keep your tent is cool for a full night of celebration. The HVAC System is usually installed towards the rear of the tent, or this can be set up in an extension off your main tent. The HVAC System is great for events that occur during the day and go on for a long period of time. This system is a step up from fans as it is an industrial AC, so it not only provides air but  crisp air for guest comfortability.

 

Tent Additions

Depending on the situation, incorporate Tent Sides and Tent Doors to control climate. You may think, how will my event be more comfortable with added Tent Sides and Doors? Well, depending on the outside climate, making this addition can keep out hot air and provide shade which will cool down the space. This is also necessary when using a HVAC system.

 

Grimes Events & Party Tents is committed to creating a beautiful and functional space for any event. Stay comfortable during any climate and party on! Contact us today to learn more about our rentals!

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!

End of Student Loan Celebration

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.

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.

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!

Severe Weather Prep

As you’re planning your outdoor event, you may wonder, “What if the weather doesn’t cooperate and there’s a storm during my event?” That’s a great question. With a little bit of prep work, you’ll have a great event – rain or shine!

Here are a few things you should do ahead of time when planning your event:

  • Have an evacuation plan for the extreme worst-case scenario
  • Designate one person to decide when the tent should be evacuated in extreme weather
  • Place the tent in an area that is not prone to flooding
  • Be sure to rent tent sidewalls
  • Have a rain plan for any outdoor portion of your event
  • Consider renting a covered walkway for your guests to enter the tent
  • Consider renting an elevated floor if the ground may become muddy

If severe weather is imminent:

  • Keep an eye on the weather forecast
  • If high winds are expected, open the tent sidewalls to allow the wind to blow through the tent
  • Tighten the ratchet straps on the tent

If a storm does arrive during your event, you’ll be prepared. All of our tents are very sturdy and are designed to withstand storms. Of course, in the case of a very severe storm, tropical storm, or hurricane you should vacate the tent. Tents are designed to flex and move slightly during a high wind, but here are some signs that the tent is becoming unsafe:

  • Wind speed is over 38 miles per hour
  • Tent poles are lifting off the ground
  • Tent stakes are pulling out of the ground
  • Tent fabric is starting to tear
  • Nearby trees begin to fall
  • Lightning is striking nearby

If any of these conditions occur or you feel unsafe inside the tent, immediately evacuate everyone to a safe building. If no building is available, guests can go to their cars until the storm passes and the tent is secure.

If you are in a tent during a thunderstorm, keep everyone at least five feet from any tent pole. If the lightning is nearby evacuate everyone from the tent.

Grimes Events & Party Tents is always monitoring the weather. If a severe storm or hurricane is on the horizon, we take the tent down and will work with you on rescheduling your event.

Even though many events have beautiful weather, it’s always best to plan for the worst so that your event can be a success either way!

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!

There are many advantages to renting your event equipment including cost efficiency and a lack of stress. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have everything you need to make your event a success! Contact us today at 561-853-8368 to get started!

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!

Air Conditioning

Making sure your guests are comfortable should be one of your top priorities when planning an event. Beat the heat this summer by renting cooling products along with your tent! Ceiling fans can be attached to the roof of your tent to save space and keep your event looking classy while also ensuring airflow throughout the space. We also offer Cool-A-Zone units for rental! These air conditioning units can lower the ambient temperature by 10 – 25 degrees. They are energy-efficient, easy to use, and do not require any special installation.

Restroom Trailers

Many summer events happen outdoors. Therefore, it’s important to consider the practical necessities like restrooms! If your event is being held outdoors, consider renting a luxury restroom trailer. Grimes Events & Party Tents is pleased to offer four variations of restroom trailers.
