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.

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!

The world is an unpredictable place in which COVID-19 has uprooted the plans of many extravagant weddings. As the pandemic continues to pose safety hazards, many couples are choosing to pause or postpone their weddings. Others are choosing to pivot their original plan and host a more intimate ceremony in their own backyard.
Advantages of a Backyard Wedding
There are several benefits to having your wedding in your backyard, including:
Flexibility. There is no longer a need to abide by the wishes of the venue. Choose the date that works best for you, decorate however you want, include your family pets in the event. Your options are wide open!
Cost. Without the need to book a venue and by downsizing your guest list, you will end up saving money.
Intimacy. For safety concerns, limiting the number of attendees is necessary. However, this allows for more one-on-one time with those closest to you.
Permits
Depending on where you live and how large your wedding will be, you may be required to obtain a permit.
Reach out to your city about noise ordinances, fire codes, health department regulations, parking permits, and zoning issues.
Talk to your officiant to ensure they are willing to perform the ceremony. Some officiants are not allowed to perform ceremonies outside their place of worship.
Lastly, it is a good idea to forewarn your neighbors. The last thing you want is a disgruntled neighbor crashing your big day.
Logistics
When you no longer have someone else to do all the planning for you, details can begin to slip through the cracks.
Consider where the ceremony and reception will take place. Wedding arches create a beautiful frame for your ceremony.
Additional furniture to make sure your guests are comfortable
Pipe and drape for an added element of elegance

When planning your wedding, there are so many details and decisions that need to be made. With so much to do, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we’ve been handling party rentals for over 20 years, so we want to help simplify the planning process so you can enjoy being engaged! Here’s our top three tips for planning a spring wedding in South Florida.
Have an Outdoor Wedding
The milder spring weather in South Florida makes it the perfect time to get married outdoors! With the abundance of beautiful outdoor venues in Florida, we’ve got you covered with a variety of tents. Whether you prefer a frame tent for your beach wedding, or would like a clear top to showcase the beauty of a botanical garden venue, we can take the guesswork out of your outdoor wedding. Even if the Florida weather surprises you with higher temperatures, we can install air conditioners in the tent to keep your guests comfortable.
Choose a Fun Color Scheme
Move over, pastels! Spring isn’t just for you anymore! Many brides are opting for fun and exciting color schemes, including Coral Pink, Saffron, or Flame Scarlet! Not every couple is the same, so why should every spring wedding feature the same colors? Bold accent colors are a fun trend this year that we’re hoping stays around for a while! If you’re using a bold accent color, try using a fun texture for the neutral side of the color scheme. A textured, neutral linen is the perfect complement to a Flame Scarlet floral centerpiece! Try mixing and matching fun colors and textures and decide what you think fits your wedding style.
Personalize the Little Details
At its core, a wedding should be about the love story of two people. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in all the excitement and expectations of others but try to remind yourself of what truly matters. Little decorative details are the perfect way to personalize your wedding. Even a detail as simple as table numbers can be made uniquely yours by including a photo of the bride and groom from when they were the same age as the table number. Another way to personalize your wedding is to try combining the bride and groom’s favorite colors to create a simple decoration to place over the chairs.
