Why Party Event Companies Are Essential for Stress-Free Event Planning

Southern Events Products

party event companies nashville

Let’s be honest: Planning a celebration can feel like juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle. You want to throw a memorable event, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or even just because. However, the reality of playing host often involves spreadsheets, a million phone calls, and the looming fear of everything going wrong. Party event companies are the heroes in disguise, swooping in to save the day (and your sanity).

The Stressful Stuff We Take Off Your Plate

Throwing a party should be a blast, but there’s usually more stress than fun involved. Here’s how a party event company makes sure you don’t need a nap after sending out invites:

Managing Logistics

The logistics of any event—transporting equipment, setting up tables, and breaking everything down—are easily forgotten until it’s too late. Pro rental companies handle it all, from transporting rentals to setting them up exactly as you envision. No more worrying about chairs being placed the wrong way or guests wandering around looking for seating.

Adapting to Unpredictable Changes

Weather can be unpredictable, or maybe your guest list grows unexpectedly. Whatever the change, party event companies have the flexibility and resources to adjust. With a large inventory of items like tents, tables, and seating, we can handle changes at the last minute, ensuring everything goes smoothly no matter what.

Adding That Extra “Wow” Factor

So you’ve got the basics down—tables, chairs, food, drinks—but how do you take your event from “meh” to wow? Event rental companies bring in creativity and style, turning a basic event into a jaw-dropping celebration. Whether it’s through party props, decor, or a killer seating arrangement, we elevate your event to something truly spectacular.

Why Hiring a Party Event Company is Totally Worth It

Of course, you might be thinking: “Is all of this really necessary? Can’t I just rent some stuff and do it myself?” Well, sure, you could! But event planning is hard. Even if you have the time, expertise, and patience (which, let’s be honest, who does?), the stress can take away from the fun of the event.

Concern 1: “Is It Worth the Cost?”

Counterpoint: Sure, hiring a company is an investment, but consider the return: zero stress, a smoothly executed event, and a far more polished celebration than you could likely pull off on your own. And don’t forget—they’ll probably save you money in the long run with their vendor connections and budgeting expertise.

Concern 2: “I Don’t Want to Lose Control of My Event!”

Counterpoint: Think of a party event company as your personal event assistant. We work with you, not against you. Our goal is to make your vision come to life, not to impose ideas on you. You’re still the boss—we’re just the trusted professionals who ensure everything runs smoothly.

Why Choose Southern Events

At Southern Events, we’re more than just a rental service. We’re your partner in creating memorable and stress-free celebrations. With our extensive inventory, state-of-the-art showroom, and seamless execution, we make sure every detail is handled so you can enjoy the party without the hassle.

How to Choose the Right Wedding Dance Floor for Your Venue

Southern Events Products

wedding dance floor rental nashville

Let’s talk about the heartbeat of your wedding reception—the dance floor! It’s where lovebirds twirl, where your besties show off their moves, and where the party truly comes to life. Whether you’re hosting a modern wedding in Downtown Nashville or a dreamy countryside soiree, we believe that your dance floor isn’t just about function! It should complement your venue, match your style, and invite guests to kick off their shoes and dance the night away. From elegant plank wood to bold checkered floors, let’s dive into the perfect wedding dance floor for your celebration in Music City.

Choosing a Wedding Dance Floor Style

Your wedding dance floor serves as a focal point for your reception, drawing guests in and setting the tone for the night’s festivities. It also enhances your wedding photos, adding an elegant or playful touch depending on your chosen style. Let’s explore the different options we currently carry!

1. Classic Plank Wood Dance Floor

For couples who love a warm, rustic, or traditional aesthetic, a plank wood dance floor is a perfect choice. Ideal for barn weddings, outdoor tented receptions, or classic ballroom settings, this dance floor brings a natural and timeless look to your event.

Best for: Rustic, vintage, or elegant outdoor weddings.

Pair with: Wooden farm tables, string lighting, and neutral-toned décor for a cozy, romantic vibe.

2. Sleek Black or White Dance Floor

A single-tone black or white dance floor offers a sleek, modern touch. A white dance floor adds an airy, elegant feel, perfect for all-white wedding themes or luxury receptions. On the other hand, a black dance floor can create a chic and dramatic ambiance, especially when paired with moody uplighting.

Best for: Modern, minimalist, or upscale weddings.

Pair with: Crystal chandeliers, contemporary furniture, and metallic accents for a sophisticated look.

3. Black and White Dance Floor

For a bold, retro-inspired look, a black and white checkered dance floor is a standout choice. This vintage style brings a touch of old Hollywood glam and pairs beautifully with Art Deco or Gatsby-themed celebrations. It also makes for incredible, high-contrast wedding photos!

Best for: Vintage, Art Deco, or fun, playful weddings.

Pair with: Gold accents, geometric décor, and a live jazz band for a roaring ’20s feel.

Enhancing Your Dance Floor Experience

Once you’ve chosen the perfect wedding dance floor, consider these add-ons to create an immersive and engaging experience.

1. Lounge Areas with a View

Not every guest will be hitting the dance floor, but that doesn’t mean they should feel disconnected. Lounge areas surrounding the dance floor create a comfortable space where guests—especially grandparents or those who prefer to sit—can still enjoy the energy of the celebration. Plush seating, cocktail tables, and stylish décor make these areas feel intentional and inviting.

2. A Statement Centerpiece: Cake Table or Champagne Tower

Want to make an unforgettable first impression? Consider placing a cake table or champagne tower at the center of the dance floor during cocktail hour or before dinner service. This grand focal point draws attention and provides a picture-perfect moment before the dance floor is fully opened.

3. Staging for Live Music or a DJ

If you’re planning to have a live band or DJ, a stage is a must. Elevating your entertainers ensures they are easily visible and helps to define the dance floor area. Southern Events offers staging rentals that seamlessly integrate with your wedding dance floor setup, providing a polished and professional look.

Book Your Wedding Dance Floor with Southern Events

The right wedding dance floor will set the stage for a magical evening, ensuring that you and your guests can dance the night away in style. At Southern Events, we offer a variety of high-quality dance floors, lounge rentals, and staging options to create a seamless and stunning reception experience. Contact us today to check availability and secure your rentals!

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

high end event rentals nashville

Hosting an event in Nashville, whether it’s an opulent wedding or a high-profile corporate gathering, requires more than just a stunning venue. The details matter! High-end event rentals set the stage for a sophisticated and unforgettable experience. One where every chair, table, and glass contributes to an atmosphere of elegance. At Southern Events, we specialize in curating upscale event rentals that exude timeless luxury without feeling excessive. Get inspired by our selection of exquisite furniture, fine china, premium linens, and elegant bars. 

The Difference High-End Event Rentals Make

Anyone can rent folding chairs and plastic tableware, but true luxury lies in the details. Every element of your event should reflect refinement and quality, ensuring that guests feel immersed in a thoughtfully designed setting. High-end event rentals elevate your celebration by offering unparalleled comfort, aesthetic cohesion, and a refined guest experience.

Exquisite Furniture

Gone are the days of standard banquet seating. Our furniture selection is curated for both comfort and aesthetics. Pair the Aged Oak Dining Table with the Harlin Dining Chairs to create an inviting yet refined dining space. If your goal is a more edgy aesthetic, opt for our Black Willow Chairs. For an equally impressive cocktail hour, the Wood Palmer Bistro Table and Chairs provide a stylish touch.

The Blondley Way

If you have space for a lounge area, we always recommend one (maybe two!). Cozy spaces where guests can take a seat and enjoy some casual conversation. Consider the Estelle Quarter Round Sofa and Avalon Round Coffee Table. Or create a luxurious neutral seating area with the Bennett Leather Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs. If you aren’t afraid of color, take a peek at our Clover or Marine Navy Velvet Chairs.

Sophisticated China & Flatware

Your event’s dining experience should be just as luxurious as its setting. Our collection of elegant china, chargers, and flatware ensures that every table setting complements your event’s aesthetic.

For a timeless and refined look, pair the White Round Porcelain Charger with Gwyneth China and Silver Cameron Flatware. If you prefer a warm, gilded tablescape, opt for the Glass Charger with Gold Rim, Ophelia China, and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware. For a bold and moody ambiance, the Black Round Lacquer Charger, Silver Rimmed Ares China, and Noir Matte Flatware create an effortlessly chic statement.

Premium Event Linens

Linens are an essential yet often overlooked element of event design. The right tablecloth or napkin can completely transform a space. For maximalist and vibrant designs, the Regalia Velvet linen showcases rich florals and vibrant peacocks. The Blush French Pleat linen offers a shimmering blush pleated look, while the Blue Kensington presents a blue and gold regency-inspired damask pattern.

Jen Creed Creative

For those who appreciate timeless elegance, the Ivory Pearl Shalimar features a silver and ivory print, while the Victorian Gold Luxe boasts an almost liquid gold appearance. Or, pull off a duochromatic table with the Black Nova Linens. Other materials to consider include Velvet, Satin, and Dupioni, which will provide a refined and polished event aesthetic.

High-End Bars & Glassware

A luxury event requires a refined beverage service. Our rental selection ensures every cocktail, and glass of wine or champagne is presented impeccably. Choose from our statement bars, including the Collins Black Wood Bar for a sleek modern look. The retro-inspired Chelsea Marble Top Bar for vintage charm. Or the Thompson Full Oval White Bar for classic elegance.

Alternatively, convert it into a flower cart where attendees can assemble their own party favors by designing bouquets with fresh blooms.

Popcorn Machine Package

This vintage-inspired Popcorn Machine Package adds a nostalgic and interactive element to any event. It’s a showstopper for a movie night setup when paired with a cozy outdoor lounge area. For a snack station, set up a nearby toppings bar where guests can customize their own treats. Hosting a carnival-themed event? Use the popcorn machine alongside striped tablecloths and festive decor to create an authentic atmosphere. As a final touch, provide small bags so guests can take some popcorn home as party favors.

Ticket Booth

A Ticket Booth is a whimsical rental that can serve multiple purposes. Turn it into a guestbook station where attendees can leave notes or Polaroid photos as keepsakes. It’s also a fantastic photo prop—decorate it with flowers or balloons to create a fun photo booth setup. For family gatherings or activity-focused events, use the ticket booth to distribute game tickets. It can even double as an entrance checkpoint, stylishly organizing guest check-ins or seating assignments.

White 6-Tier Serving Tower

This unique serving tower is an elegant addition to any event. Its tiers are perfect for showcasing desserts like cupcakes, macarons, or mini cheesecakes, turning your sweets into a visual centerpiece. For brunch gatherings, use it to artfully arrange bagels, muffins, and fruit. If you’re hosting a cocktail party, it can hold garnishes like lemon wedges, olives, and herbs for a DIY cocktail bar. As guests leave, the tower can also serve as a favor display, elegantly presenting small gifts or mementos.

Franklin 4 Foot Antique White Bar

Our Franklin 4 Foot Antique White Bar exudes sophistication and versatility. Use it as a signature drink station, offering custom cocktails or mocktails that align with your event’s theme. For a cozy gathering, transform it into a coffee bar complete with syrups, toppings, and an assortment of mugs. It also doubles as a dessert bar, showcasing cakes, pies, or pastries – elevated with mismatched cake stands. Alternatively, set it up as a welcoming area, adorned with floral arrangements, a guestbook, or champagne for celebratory toasts.

Black Bookcase

The Black Bookcase brings a sleek, modern touch to your event design. As a bar backdrop, it’s ideal for displaying trendy bottles and glassware, adding a professional touch to your beverage area. For an interactive experience, consider displaying your favorite bourbons for a tasting experience. For parties with favors or goodie bags, the bookcase provides a stylish and organized way to present them. Additionally, it’s perfect for themed decor—fill its shelves with props, books, or collectibles to align with your event’s aesthetic.

Maximize Space & Style with Cocktail Table Rentals

On Trend, Southern Events Products

cocktail table rentals

When hosting an event, whether a corporate gathering or a social cocktail hour, creating the perfect setup is key to ensuring your guests have a memorable experience. Cocktail table rentals are a versatile and stylish addition to any event, offering functionality and a touch of elegance. With Southern Events’ diverse selection of tables, barstools, linens, and lounge furniture, you can design a space that’s both practical and visually appealing. Let’s dive into how you can maximize your event’s space and style with our thoughtfully curated inventory.

Why Choose Cocktail Tables for Your Event?

Cocktail tables are ideal for creating a social and dynamic atmosphere. Unlike traditional seating arrangements, these tables encourage mingling and conversation, making them perfect for cocktail parties, networking events, or casual receptions. Their compact size allows you to make the most of your space, whether you’re hosting indoors or outdoors. Plus, cocktail tables pair seamlessly with other event furniture rentals, like barstools and lounge setups, to complete the look.

Add a Pop of Color with Linens

Linens are an essential detail in tying together your cocktail party setup. At Southern Events, we provide a variety of fabrics and colors to match your event’s theme and style. Satin linens in muted shades like Tawny or Stone add an understated elegance. Meanwhile, velvet linens in rich tones like Magnolia, Sea Glass, and Merlot, along with gold-flecked options, bring luxurious texture to your tables. For a natural and cozy vibe, Havana linens in earthy colors like Ecru and Cafe create a warm ambiance. If you’re looking to make a statement, consider our luxe prints, such as Ivory Pearl Shalimar or Gold Furrow. Either of these will add visual interest and sophistication.

Create a Lounge Area for Extra Comfort

While cocktail tables encourage mingling, a lounge area provides a comfortable spot for guests to relax. Incorporating party lounge furniture like sofas, armchairs, and coffee tables adds depth and dimension to your event layout. It’s a great way to break up the space while offering a cozy area for quieter conversations. You can mix-and-match our rentals to create your own look, or keep planning simple when you choose from one of our curated lounge areas!
