Wedding Ceremony Planning FAQs

Planning a ceremony comes with a lot of little decisions, and we’re here to help. Below are some frequently asked questions about wedding ceremony rentals to guide you:

How many chairs do I need for my wedding ceremony?
Plan for one chair per guest, plus a few extras for vendors or last-minute additions. For 100 guests, aim for 110–115 chairs to be safe.

What’s the best layout for a small ceremony?
For intimate gatherings, we love a round or semi-circle seating layout. It brings guests closer, feels cozy, and looks amazing in photos. We’ll help you design a layout that suits your space.

Do I need a backdrop if my venue has a view?
Not necessarily—but even simple structural elements like columns or barrels can help frame the moment and ground the space.

Can I see these wedding ceremony rentals in person?
Absolutely! We invite you to schedule a tour of our showroom so you can see, feel, and plan your setup in real life. It’s the perfect time to test seating styles, compare materials, and get inspired.

Your wedding should feel like you! Whether you’re planning something classic, modern, or totally out of the box, Southern Events has the wedding ceremony rentals in Nashville to bring it all together. Contact our team to schedule your personal showroom tour and start planning your celebration.

Planning a toddler’s birthday party in your own backyard offers the perfect blend of comfort, fun, and flexibility. Whether you’re envisioning a whimsical garden tea party, a colorful carnival celebration, or a simple playdate with family and friends, the right rentals can help you create a safe and stylish environment that makes your little one feel celebrated. At Southern Events, we specialize in toddler birthday party rentals designed to elevate any theme while prioritizing child-sized comfort and big kid fun.

The Importance of Child-Sized Furniture

When hosting a birthday party for toddlers, it’s crucial to think from their perspective—literally. Adult-sized furniture can be intimidating or uncomfortable for young children, especially during a meal or activity. Choose from:

• Children’s Fruitwood Farm Table – A rustic yet refined option for a countryside tea party or woodland-themed birthday.
• Children’s Acrylic Chiavari Chair – Crystal-clear and elegant, perfect for a fairy-tale or winter wonderland theme.
• Gold Bow Chair – Adds a regal touch for princess-themed celebrations or tea parties.
• White Resin Folding Chair – Clean and modern; pairs well with bold linens or colorful decor.
• Cross Back Chair – Perfect for barnyard, garden, or vintage-style parties.
• Chiavari Chairs in Fruitwood, White, and Pink – Choose a color that complements your palette and theme.

Creating a Cohesive Theme with Versatile Rentals

Every toddler has their favorite characters, colors, and activities—and our goal is to bring those favorites to life through rentals that are as adorable as they are practical. Start with a simple foundation like a pop-up tent for shade. These tents come in various sizes and protect guests from the sun or rain, allowing the party to go on no matter the weather.

Next, add decorative and functional accents to elevate the experience. A market cart makes a fun and flexible centerpiece. Use it to display cupcakes, serve lemonade, or create a drop-off zone for gifts. Our white 6-tier serving tower is a favorite for showcasing sweet treats or party favors. While bookshelves in black, white, or gold can be transformed into themed displays for books, plush toys, or goody bags.

Want a showstopper centerpiece? Set up the scalloped Ellie Gold Cake Stand or a sleek glass cake stand for your little one’s birthday cake. These stands photograph beautifully and give your dessert the attention it deserves.

Making Room for Activities

Toddlers love to move, and a safe, stable surface is essential when planning games or activities. Our dance floors are not just for weddings and formal events. Available in colors like black and white, plank wood, and solid black, they create a clean and secure space for toddlers to dance, jump, and play. Dance floors also serve as a great place for group games, sing-alongs, or parachute play.

And because hydration is just as important as playtime, our vintage washtubs are a charming way to keep kid-friendly drinks within easy reach. Stock them with juice boxes or water bottles, and place them near play or dining areas for convenience.

Add a Pop of Personality with Linens and Decor

One of the easiest ways to tie your theme together is through linens. Southern Events offers a variety of fun and festive table linens to suit any party concept. Some fun kid-friendly favorites:

• Black & White Stripe – Perfect for circus or animal themes.
• Mango Tango – Bright and citrusy, great for tropical or summer parties.
• Pink Sequins – A hit for princess, unicorn, or ballerina parties.
• Lagoon Poly – Adds a splash of sea-blue for under-the-sea or mermaid vibes.

Our design team can help you mix and match colors and textures for a cohesive and curated look that brings your toddler’s theme to life.

There’s nothing quite like a celebration in an open or breezy setting—where the wine flows, the vibes are relaxed, and the décor feels straight out of a dream. Whether you’re hosting in a backyard, on a covered patio, or in a venue with an open-air feel, it’s your chance to impress without the fuss. At Southern Events, we help you rent outdoor furniture and curated event rentals that look just as stunning under the sun as they do under a roof. Take a peek at the versatile essentials that will have guests swooning before the appetizers even hit the table.

Lounge in Style

Step one to an effortlessly chic outdoor event? A stylish lounge setup. It invites guests to relax, mingle, and sip in comfort. Set the scene with the plush Fern Velvet Sofa, paired with sleek Adeline Dining Chairs and glam Gold Hammered Accent Tables. Want something a little moodier? The Bennett Leather Sofa delivers major wow, especially alongside our Bellamy Beige Linen Bench and Charlotte Side Tables. Complete the look with a vintage rug for a lounge that doesn’t just say “sit here.” It says, “Stay awhile.”

Dine Like You Mean It

Forget the fuss of folding tables—your dinner setup should be just as beautiful as the scenery. We’re talking long, rustic tables made for shared plates and laughter. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables with Rustic Benches are a go-to for a laid-back yet refined vibe. Or go a little more elevated with the Aged Oak Dining Table and classic Cross-back Chairs. A classic combo that looks like it belongs on the pages of a bridal magazine.

The Tabletop Glow-Up

This is where the magic happens. Your tablescape is your chance to tell a story. And we have all the charming details to help you do it. Start with earth-toned linens, like a bold Copper Poly or a Natural Sahara Runner. Then layer in one-of-a-kind chargers like the Walnut or Rattan White Wash. Mix in dinnerware like the Earthen Alabaster China or romantic Emmie Floral China for personality and polish. If you’re going for a simpler look, or create an elegant stack with the Gwyneth Glass Charger and China. Finish the look with the charming Abby Flatware or glam Austin Gold Flatware.

Serve It Up

Sure, you’ve nailed the vibe—but the food service matters, too. That’s where our serving rentals come in. Keep things classy and coordinated with chafing dishes, white melamine family-style trays, and silver serving pieces. Plus, oval bread baskets and display trays for hors d’oeuvres or sweets. For drinks, set up a stylish hydration station with carafes, pitchers, and glass beverage dispensers that blend form and function. It’s the little things that make hosting feel seamless and oh-so polished.

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.

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 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.

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.

The warm hues of autumn create an atmosphere that’s as mysterious as it is inviting. For a fall corporate event hosted by the Wedding Industry Professionals Association (WIPA) at CJ’s Off the Square, these themes came to life in an outdoor setting, proving that the season offers endless inspiration for sophisticated gatherings. This event, titled “An Enchanted Autumnal Affair,” was designed to evoke the season’s beauty while embracing the timeless aesthetic of dark academia. From intimate seating arrangements to a bar serving bespoke cocktails, every detail was curated to create an unforgettable experience.

Crowd-Pleasing Seating

At the heart of the event was a presentation area thoughtfully designed for speakers and announcements. Drawing inspiration from dark academia’s scholarly roots, this space featured rows of Black Willow Chairs. Their sleek lines and deep tones perfectly complemented the moody theme, for example. Similarly, the front of the house consisted of the cozy Regent Black Velvet Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs. Anchoring the space was a Clear Acrylic Podium, offering a modern, understated touch. Its transparent design allowed it to seamlessly blend with the overall decor while maintaining focus on the speakers.

Autumnal Flavors Meet Sophistication

The bar area was a true highlight of the event, blending the warmth of fall with the sophistication of bespoke cocktails. Guests were treated to a curated drink menu featuring signature beverages, each served in vintage-inspired glassware. Such as our Gatsby Coupe and Monaco Champagne Glasses. Additionally, the Chelsea Bar embraced dark academia aesthetics – deep gold with a marble top, flanked by floral arrangements in deep autumnal hues. As a result, this stylish yet functional space became a hub for conversation and connection, embodying the cozy sophistication of an evening of academics.

Cozy Lounge Areas for Cool Evenings

Lounge areas scattered throughout the event provided guests with inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the evening. Central to these areas were glowing fire pits that not only offered warmth but also created a soft, enchanting ambiance. Surrounding the fire pits were seating arrangements featuring velvet sofas and rattan armchairs. Elevated by a set of gold, mirror-topped accent tables. As a result, each lounge area felt like a private retreat, blending the charm of a quiet library with the magic of a crisp autumn evening.

Simply Elegant Cocktail Areas

The cocktail areas were strategically placed to encourage mingling and interaction among guests while staying true to the event’s aesthetic. The Charleston and Palmer Bistro Tables were decorated with seasonal centerpieces and moody lighting. Providing stylish yet practical surfaces for guests to rest their drinks and plates. Armchairs were also incorporated, offering a more relaxed seating option for those who preferred to linger. In effect, these pieces ensured that each space was as functional as it was visually stunning.

This enchanted autumnal affair demonstrated how the magic of fall and the sophistication of dark academia can create an unforgettable event. If you’re inspired by this event and want to bring a similar aesthetic to your next gathering, contact us at Southern Events. Let us help you craft an experience that’s uniquely yours!
