Warm weather brings with it the chance to get outdoors, namely thanks to local events! Some of the most popular are local festivals or fairs and sporting events. They’re the perfect opportunity to get out, whether it’s to enjoy craft beer, buy handcrafted art, or watch your favorite athletes in action. And to keep you comfortable, our pop up tent packages are an easy and affordable solution. Perfect should you want a bit of shelter, for a long day under the sun or if scattered showers are in the forecast. Check out our pop up tent packages, curated to cover all the essentials!
A Tent Package for Every Event
Our tent packages come with a variety of rentals, so it’s important to choose one that fits your needs. Take a look at our curated pop up tent packages to find the perfect option for your small gathering, or to feature wares at an upcoming fair!
Basic Pop Up – A simple but versatile package, this setup includes all the basics. Whether you are serving up food at a local fair or want to advertise your business at a trade show. Including a 10x10 white frame tent, a 6-foot rectangle table, a poly tablecloth in the table of your choice, and a set of two folding chairs.
Summer Tailgate – Cheer on your team in comfort and style with our pop up tent for tailgates! It comes with all the essentials, whether you’re hosting at home or pre-gaming outside a stadium. Start with a 10×10 white frame tent and eight folding chairs – good to have on hand, whether or not you can stand to sit down!

There is also an aluminum black easel for signage, and two poly linen tablecloths in the color of your choice.
Add-Ons that Elevate
Regardless of the occasion or event, you can always elevate your event with our stylish rentals! Let’s start with businesses or artisans looking to make a good impression at a fair or tradeshow. Display your products on a tall and elegant stand that will put them directly in the buyer’s line of sight. Our White Bookcase and Gold Bookcase are both beautiful options, whether you are displaying samples, products, or favors. For those who create pre-made foods, our White 6-Tier Serving Tower is a stunner.
Another option is to provide additional furniture. Our whiskey barrels are a classic piece, perfect if you will be having quick interactions with customers. Or if you are looking to provide an extra area at your event for people to set their drinks and socialize. If you will be having longer interactions, similar to a consultation, consider a set of armchairs and a coffee table. Such as the Gloria Velvet Armchair and Farrah Teal Velvet Chair, with the Blanche or Gold Hammered Coffee Table.
Outdoor parties are the perfect way to celebrate any occasion, from birthdays and weddings to corporate events and backyard gatherings. To make your event truly special, consider renting unique outdoor party decor and props that will create a memorable experience for your guests. Take a look at some of our unique inventory items, perfect for creating fun focal points, stylish backdrops, food and drink displays, or social areas, that are sure to impress.
Photo-Worthy Outdoor Party Decor & Backdrops
Every event needs a photo backdrop! A place where guests can snap a photo as a keepsake or share it on social media. The Fiona Ivory Mantle is a beautiful and versatile piece of decor. Whether it is placed against a wall or standalone, it can also be used as a backdrop or a fun focal point. Adorn the mantle with flowers and the base with lanterns, and it is perfect as a backdrop for opening presents at a birthday or baby shower. An equally stunning option is our Wrought Iron Arch. It would look stunning for a garden party, whether you choose to feature it as an entryway to hang a banner. For a more elegant look, weave our Chiffon Runner or fresh flowers through the metal lattice!
Outdoor Drink & Food Displays
One of our favorite ways to make a statement at any event is with a stylish drink or food display. It’s a simple but effective way to elevate a buffet area or to serve up favors to guests! The most popular piece in our inventory of outdoor party decor is our whiskey barrels, with an acrylic or barn wood top. It’s the perfect makeshift bar or grazing table! But you can also use it in tandem with a variety of our cake stands to create a multi-level display of appetizers or desserts. Or create a stylish buffet when you mix and match our beverage dispensers and chafing dishes.
A close second to any of our whiskey barrel bars is our Market Cart. Simple and bright white, it is a chic piece ideal for baby and bridal showers! Use this piece as a welcome area for a ticketed event, as a designated space for presents, or to place favors for guests to grab as they are exiting. If you would prefer a prop with space for custom signage, for a birthday party or themed event, opt for a Ticket Booth.
If you’re hosting a wedding, anniversary, or corporate event, champagne is a must! Toast to another year, or a year of big achievements, with a trendy champagne tower. You can create a beautiful tablescape with any of our linens and a tower created using our Gatsby Champagne Coupes. Or, if you aren’t a fan of a glass tower, feature our White 6-Tier Serving Tower. Sleek and modern, it will make hosting a toast a breeze!

Trendy Outdoor Lounge Areas
Want a focal point for your event that is not just aesthetic? You need a lounge area – maybe two! We stock a large variety of trendy sofas, armchairs, accent tables, and rugs to create a lounge area that is as beautiful as it is comfortable. Start with any of our sofas, like our classic Bennett Leather or the retro-inspired Fern Velvet.Armchairs will increase the amount of seating available, as will any of our poufs or ottomans. If your lounge is being used during a cocktail hour with drinks or light bites, be sure to grab a set of accent tables. And, finally, don’t overlook a rug; whether you prefer cowhide or vintage. It will beautifully frame the space, whereas without one it can leave your lounge feeling incomplete.

It is perfect for couples who want to have a unique wedding that is contemporary yet tasteful! Featuring our stylish rentals and a cool-toned color scheme, check out the details of a styled shoot hosted at Southall Meadows, inspired by the magic of the cosmos.
A Chic Indoor Ceremony
The Hall at Southall Meadows was the perfect setting for a ceremony, with a towering ceiling and blank white walls. It lent an airy atmosphere, softened by romantic white drapery. Complemented by our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. If you have a larger guest count or are feeling inspired by the universe, place them in a half circle for an elegant ceremony in the round. Want to make a memorable first impression? Greet guests at the ceremony space with a colorful mocktail displayed on a White 6-Tier Serving Tower.
Bright Modern Cocktail Party
A bright celestial-themed cocktail hour is a fun and unique way to celebrate your big day. In line with the ceremony, we created a modern setup where guests could grab a drink, get comfortable and mingle prior to dinner. Starting with our elegant curved Harpeth Bar. A classic piece that can be customized with your new last name or a custom monogram!
Celestial-Inspired Cocktails
The bar was stocked with a variety of contemporary glassware, including Gatsby Champagne Coupe and Temptations Glasses. The unique shapes are perfect for serving up quirky signature drinks that embody the theme. Such as a blue-colored drink with glitter for a “galaxy” effect! For additional seating, we opted to feature our modular Pearce Lounge with a Black-Silver Rug. We also have cocktail tables outfitted in Black Nova Linens with Mid-Century Barstools, in black or white.
At each table, centerpieces starred voluminous plumes of dried ferns and pampas, for a subtle bohemian vibe. Although if you want to tone down the florals, consider a non-floral centerpiece starring our Gold Metal Intersect Cube. The bright geometric design is ethereal and the shimmering gold will make your serving ware pop. Place candles around each cube or at the center, depending on how much lighting you would like to feature.

Fresh and colorful florals are timeless, but why not switch things up? A unique centerpiece is one way to elevate your event tables and impress your guests. Centerpieces serve as a focal point and should help tie all of the surrounding elements on your table, like the linens and serving ware, together. Get inspired by our non-floral table centerpieces that can be used to create a photo-worthy spread.
Geometric Centerpieces
For a more modern or luxe event, our Gold Metal Intersect Cube and Gold Metal Sphere are perfect. These elegant geometric centerpieces are perfect for pairing with gold serving ware, not to mention highly versatile. Spruce them up with bright flowers or greenery, pop a candle in the center, or let them stand alone. For a bold maximalist look, we recommend placing them on top of layered linens, dotted with other decorations. Perhaps a mix of single candles, candelabras, and votives!
A less common but unique centerpiece is food, featured on a cake stand or charcuterie boards. It is the perfect centerpiece for food-focused celebrations, say a brunch bridal shower or afternoon dinner party. Even more so now that interactive elements and displays have become so popular! You can display cheese, bread, and fruit, as well as handheld desserts – like tasty donuts or cupcakes. We stock a variety of elegant cake stands to suit any theme or style, including the classic Windsor and Glass Cake Stand. To create a more dimensional look, we recommend featuring stands of different heights. A feat made easy with our Marble and Gold Adjustable Cake Stand!

As the weather warms up there is no better time to host a corporate event. Blue skies and sunshine open up a world of possibilities in terms of creative entertainment and event design. At Southern Events Party Rentals Online, we have a little something for every occasion and celebration! From stylish cocktail hour essentials to cozy event lounges. Perfect for toasting an anniversary, thanking partners and clients, or treating your employees. Get inspired by these unique corporate event themes, perfect for the spring and summer seasons!
Spring Has Sprung
The season of new beginnings, spring is a fitting time to treat your employees to a party that will leave them feeling reenergized. This is one of the more simple corporate event themes, yet it is sure to be a memorable event. We recommend hosting outdoors, to make the most of the seasonal foliage – think of it as natural decor! Scatter a mix of bistro and round tables on the lawn, dressed up with Peaches N’ Cream Poly and our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. For additional seating, feature a chic neutral lounge area made up of our Bennett Leather Sofa, Adeline Dining Chairs, Chocolate Poufs, and a Navy Rug. To encourage guests to stay awhile, provide them with a stocked Franklin Antique White Bar and grazing boards served up on Wood Melamine Trays.
The Kentucky Derby may only last two minutes, but it is a highly anticipated and celebrated sporting event. In terms of themed corporate events, there is no better time to host a party. Running with existing events or holidays makes it easier than ever to piece together a theme, and a high-class Derby Party is one of our personal favorites. Start with stylish bistro tables, like a classic bistro table dressed up with Cherry Red Poly Linens. Or the Loren Gold Bistro Table with a Black and White Striped Runner and Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Place an artificial grass rug beneath them for a fun spring touch! A fully stocked bar is essential – try Harpeth customized with your business logo. Classic glassware, like Mint Julep Cups and Davis Rocks Glass, is perfect for serving up bourbon-based cocktails.
A simple but always exciting event theme idea is a classic summer BBQ. A backyard BBQ is fitting for a casual celebration, say an employee appreciation day or even ‘just because’. You don’t need a reason to get together and grill out! Set up picnic tables with Red & White Check Linens. If kids are attending, check out our children’s furniture. For some contrast, feature our Earthen Onyx China and crisp White Napkins. Should you need serving trays, check out our family-style serving pieces. Whether you want a self-serve bar or food display, opt for our Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar. For added colors, a mix of vintage rugs will create an extra cozy vibe! Moreso should you feature a fire pit surrounded by poufs and rustic benches.
If you are hosting an elegant corporate party, you can’t go wrong with a black and white event theme. A grayscale color palette will also make it incredibly easy to put together a cohesive look. Start with classic bistro tables outfitted in our beautiful Black Nova Linens, paired with Mid Century Black Barstools. If you’ll be toasting to the occasion, you’ll need a stylish bar and glassware to match. Our Black Franklin Antique Bar is a bold choice, as is a White 6-Tier Serving Tower. Should you need additional storage space, be sure to grab a set of barback shelves in black or white. For glassware, take a look at our Cybil Champagne Glasses or trendy coupe glasses.

Bright, floral-focused weddings are trending! Perhaps due to the renewed interest in maximalist design or a desire to shift away from neutral palettes. In either case, a vivid color scheme will lend a luxe and modern look for the spring and summer seasons. Get inspired to host a colorful spring wedding with these on-trend ideas starring our stylish event rentals. Southern Events Online has everything you need to pull off a chic celebration, from a whimsical garden ceremony to a bold maximalist reception.
Bold Monochromatic Scheme
One of our favorite bright wedding color schemes is a monochromatic palette. Red, blue, orange, pink, or purple – mixing the hues from any one of these colors are perfect for a bold wedding. For example, this gorgeous tented wedding with bright red and pink tablecloths is classically romantic. Especially when complemented by brilliant floral centerpieces and fresh bundles of greenery. Meanwhile, crisp napkins paired with White Round China and Bradley Flatware kept the look modern and airy. Our Gold Chiavari Chairs are a sophisticated touch, as is the Tessa Tufted Beige Linen Loveseat, overall, a super cozy detail the newlyweds will enjoy.
This spring wedding inspiration stars refreshing blue and green hues, for a soft and organic vibe. It’s a gorgeous look for an early spring wedding as we come out of a cold and dreary winter! Start with romantic tablecloths starring bright blues, like our Light Blue Pindot, or you might consider the Blue Kensington linens, for a chic maximalist design. Furthermore, tie in splashes of green using buttery napkins in the color Fern, and create an elegant drink station to greet guests using our Green Goblets. For a fun interactive element, display them on White Barback Bookshelves. If the weather is nice we always recommend an outdoor lounge! Take a look at our romantic Everly Sofa and Chairs, paired with the Blanche Coffee Table and aqua rug.

Nothing is quite as invigorating as a bright spring gathering after a long and dreary winter. As nature springs back to life consider hosting a casual outdoor party. Whether it is a simple backyard dinner or a semi-formal cocktail hour, light bites, refreshing beverages, and good company are exactly what the doctor calls for! Get inspired by our most popular spring event design ideas, featuring our pastel event rentals. From chic linens and elegant serving ware to dreamy lounge areas, we have everything you need to host a sunny spring soiree.
Sleek & Chic Serving Pieces
Is it just us or does a well-thought-out place setting make for an extra charming table? Modern chic event design calls for a bright palette featuring crisp serving ware with a splash of color. Start with simple china, such as the Classic Round or dainty Darcy, and for a more muted white, consider Alabaster Earthen China. You can add texture with our Elegant Rattan White Wash Charger or Scalloped Wood Charger – paired with pastel linens, you’ll achieve an elegant table. If you would like a little more color, swap the white china out for brighter plates – perhaps the Coronado, Laguna, or Veral Floral China. Choosing flatware is simple. Just select a polished, matte, or brushed finish.
Linens are one of the most effective ways to incorporate color into your event table. And we have a huge array of pastel event rentals to help you create a spring-inspired tablescape! From subtle blue and purple hues to sunny yellows and greens. You can add as many colors or shades of color as you like by mixing and matching tablecloths and napkins.
Is there any better way to enjoy the outdoors than a sunny lounge area? Having at least one, if not several, will encourage your guests to cozy up and hang out – hopefully with a cocktail in hand! Start with a stylish sofa that will stand out against nature. Such as the Everly or Bennett Leather Sofa. Then consider armchairs, like our always popular Gloria Velvet. Or sub in dining chairs for an extra-chic look, whether it be the Harlin or Adeline chairs.
You will also want a set of accent tables, which can be a great way to add in metallics – like the Gold Hammered or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. One of the most underrated spring event rentals is our stylish rugs, which will help frame lounge furniture placed on a lawn or gravel – to make the space extra cozy you can also feature a mix of poufs and ottomans.
