chiavari chair rentals

Some event details go in and out of style, but Chiavari chairs remain a staple for good reason. They’re elegant, lightweight, and endlessly versatile. Whether you’re planning a wedding, gala, birthday, or upscale dinner party, they add structure, style, and polish to your space without overpowering your other design choices. At Southern Events, we carry a full range of chairs, barstools, and children’s chairs in multiple finishes to complement any celebration.

Why Chiavari Chairs Are a Favorite

Loved for their iconic design, Chiavari chairs work with nearly every aesthetic. They’re elegant but not fussy, structured but not bulky, and they allow the rest of your decor to shine. Available in neutrals, metallics, and soft hues, these chairs can be styled for:

  • Classic weddings with gold or white chairs and soft linens
  • Modern galas using black or fruitwood finishes for sleek contrast
  • Garden parties or outdoor events with sage chairs
  • Upscale kids’ parties with adorable, scaled-down versions

No matter your venue or guest count, these pieces offer a cohesive, photo-friendly look that complements both simple and statement tablescapes.

  • White – Crisp, clean, and ideal for ceremonies and outdoor events
  • Black – Sleek and modern, perfect for galas or evening celebrations
  • Fruitwood – A rich, warm tone that works beautifully in rustic or autumn weddings
  • Sage – A soft, muted green for garden-inspired or spring events

Don’t Forget the Barstools

Elevate your cocktail hour or bar area with coordinating Chiavari barstools, available in black, fruitwood, gold, and white. These taller versions maintain the same refined design, giving your space a cohesive look from sit-down dinner to late-night drinks. Feature them alongside high-top cocktail tables or our custom rental bars. Use them to style a lounge area or to give your VIP guests a stylish perch.

Planning a Kid-Friendly Celebration?

We didn’t forget the little ones. Our Chiavari children’s chairs are just as stylish as the full-size versions—just smaller! Available in clear acrylic, fruitwood, pink, and white, these pint-sized seats are perfect for birthday parties, mini receptions, or family-friendly weddings. Pair them with solid or patterned linens from our inventory to create a trendy, age-appropriate party setup. Want more inspiration? Check out our blog on themed children’s parties.

Aisle Decor Ideas We Love

Want a wow-worthy aisle? Layer vintage rugs from our collection for a rich, textural look, or choose cowhide rugs for something unexpected. You can also line the aisle with elegant accent tables, like our Claro Metal or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables, topped with florals or lanterns. These small details go a long way in personalizing your ceremony.

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.

Sit Back and Savor

Creating a space where guests can relax and linger is key to capturing that slow, celebratory European vibe. And our seating options are designed for just that! The Cross-Back Chair offers timeless rustic charm. Or the Antique White Bentwood Chair brings a touch of vintage elegance with a light, breezy look.

Clink in Color

No picnic is complete without beautiful glassware that shines in the evening sun. Our collection delivers both color and charm. Pour a chilled spritz into our beaded Meridian Blue Glasses for a pop of coastal cool, or serve rosé in the softly-hued Sunset Wine Glass for a golden-hour glow. For a nod to vintage glamour, the Gatsby Coupe Glass brings timeless elegance to your bubbly. Meanwhile, the Deco Amber Tumbler adds just the right amount of retro flair. These standout pieces don’t just hold your drinks, they help set the mood.

When the sun dips low and the wine keeps flowing, a lounge setup is the perfect way to extend the evening without losing that laid-back, oceanside vibe. Our Ellison Sofa and matching chairs bring effortless coastal elegance to any backyard setting. Crafted from weathered teak and topped with crisp white cushions. Complete the look with the coordinating coffee table for a cohesive feel. Or, keep it simple when you feature the Estelle Quarter Round Sofa with gold hammered side tables for a subtle hint of shine. Whether guests are sipping limoncello or sharing stories under the string lights, this lounge invites them to stay a little longer.

Backyard Toddler Birthday Party Rentals for Any Theme

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

toddler birthday party rentals

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.

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.

A Garden-Inspired Cocktail Hour

Set the tone for your garden wedding with a cocktail hour that encourages mingling beneath the trees, flutes of champagne in hand. At CJ’s Off the Square, guests were greeted by the scent of blooming flowers and the charm of Southern hospitality. Dress your cocktail tables in soft botanical linens, like our Blue Floral or Rosie Bloom for a romantic touch.

Create a Dreamy Al Fresco Dining Experience

There’s nothing quite like dining al fresco—especially at a venue like CJ’s Off the Square. For your reception, round tables encourage a natural, organic flow. Meanwhile, our Harlin Dining Chairs in wood offer a timeless and graceful silhouette. Linens in soft pastel hues or elegant patterns bring a delicate splash of color. Or, you can play with contrast by pairing neutral tablecloths with bold napkins in tones like Cornflower Blue or Sage from our Costa Nova collection. Whether under twinkling string lights or the soft glow of lanterns, this setup blends elegance with the laid-back charm of an outdoor celebration.

Fresh Floral Place Settings to Swoon Over

Complete your garden wedding tablescape with thoughtful details that speak to your theme. Starting with floral-forward place settings. Subtle and graceful, our Emmie Floral China brings a refined touch. Meanwhile, the Liana China offers a bold pop of green that mimics the surrounding foliage. For golden accents, layer in Vera Floral Dessert Plates and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware. Both of these add a hint of luxury without overpowering your setting.

To enhance the whimsy, bring in colored glassware like our Amalia Glassware in Light Pink or Blue. Or the Monaco Cut Crystal glasses for a sophisticated sparkle. Each element adds to the immersive experience of dining in nature, elevating your event without distracting from the outdoor setting.

Events and Style Shoots, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

peach and blue spring wedding

Spring weddings have a way of capturing the essence of renewal and beauty, and this styled shoot at Cedarmont Farms does just that. With a soft and sophisticated peach and blue wedding scheme, it exudes lightness and elegance. Set against a rural farm in Franklin, Tennessee, this event combines modern rustic charm with romantic details.

A Floral-Filled Vow Exchange

The ceremony was set in a picturesque outdoor location next to the reception barn, with white resin folding chairs that popped against the manicured lawn. Tall white pillars adorned with lush peachy pink and blue florals created a romantic focal point for the couple as they exchanged vows. This thoughtful design embraced the light and airy essence of spring while standing out against the lush outdoor setting!

Sophistication with a Side of Relaxation

The cocktail hour took place on the patio and cocktail lawn, where guests mingled while enjoying beautiful views of the farm. Palmer bistro tables, dressed in neutral Havana Ecru linens, were paired with rattan-backed Palmer barstools for a casual yet sophisticated vibe. The light wood Charlotte Sofa and accent tables completed the setup, inviting guests to relax, sip, and enjoy the serene surroundings before heading inside to the reception.

Sip in Style

The Alice Bar stood as an elegant centerpiece at the reception, offering a modern yet timeless touch with its light wood frame and white geometric front face. Guests sipped signature cocktails served in Gatsby Coupe Glasses and Monaco Rocks Glasses, adding a touch of glamour to the evening. With its seamless integration into the venue’s aesthetic, this wedding bar was more than a functional space—it became part of the visual charm of the day.

Rustic Meets Refined Elegance

Inside the modern, whitewashed barn, two stunning tablescapes showcased the perfect blend of rustic charm and sophisticated elegance. The farm tables paired with Antique White Bentwood Chairs exuded warmth and grace. While round tables draped in crisp white linens added a touch of classic elegance. Guests dined on Darcy Bone China, vintage-inspired Abby Flatware, and Amalia Blue Water Goblets. While whimsical peach and blue spring wedding centerpieces brought the color palette to life. Setting the stage for an unforgettable celebration.

Let’s celebrate one of our greatest hits! The Liana china is still quite new, but it’s been styled in so many creative ways. We love the combination of the green dishes with marigold yellow flowers and fruit accents! 🍐🌼
