The Catering Equipment Rentals for Nashville EventsSouthern Events Products |
Good food is only half the equation at any catered event. The other half is having the right equipment to keep it at the right temperature, move it safely from kitchen to guest, and present it in a way that reflects the care that went into preparing it. At Southern Events, we carry catering equipment rentals that support professional caterers and hosts alike, from the prep stage through the final course.
Keeping Food at the Right Temperature
What is the difference between a hot box and a chafing dish?
They solve different problems. A chafing dish keeps food warm on the serving line, in front of guests, using either Sterno fuel or an electric heat source. A hot box holds large quantities of food at temperature during transport or in a holding area before service begins. Both are essential for a catered event. They just work at different stages of the process.
For the serving line, chafing dishes are the standard. The Stainless Chafing Dish is the workhorse option, clean and functional across almost any event type. The Round Chafing Dish and Soup Chafing Dish cover different menu formats and serving styles. For a more styled presentation, the Midtown Hammered Round Display and Midtown Warming Bowl bring a polished, elevated look to the buffet line without sacrificing function.
For holding and transport, the options depend on the volume and distance involved. The Insulated Hot Box is the most reliable choice for keeping large quantities of plated or pan food at temperature over time. The Sterno Hot Box is a lighter, more portable option suited to smaller loads. The Insulated Food Pan Carrier handles individual pan transport cleanly and efficiently. For large-scale plated dinners, the Carter Hoffman holds up to 144 plates at temperature and is one of the most practical pieces of equipment for a formal seated event.
Cooking and Prep Equipment
Do you need a convection oven rental for an event?
It depends on the menu and the venue. If you’re working from a fully equipped commercial kitchen on-site, probably not. If the venue has limited kitchen access or you need additional cooking capacity, a convection oven rental fills that gap without requiring a permanent installation.
The Full Size Convection Oven handles high-volume cooking and is the right choice for larger events where output and consistency both matter. The Tabletop Convection Oven is a compact alternative suited to smaller menus or supplemental cooking needs. For events with a carving station, the Carving Station with Heat Lamp keeps meat at temperature and presentation-ready throughout service. The Open Sheet Pan Speed Rack is a practical addition for any kitchen setup that needs organized, accessible storage during prep.
Serving Pieces That Work as Hard as They Look
What catering equipment do you need to rent for an event?
Beyond the warming and cooking equipment, the serving pieces are what guests actually interact with. Trays, baskets, tiered stands, and boards are where function and presentation meet.
For straightforward serving needs, the Carson Silver Trays in rectangle and round are clean, versatile, and suit almost any event type. The Silver Hammered Round Tray adds a more textured, styled finish that works well at formal events and galas. For bread and passed items, the Gold Oval Bread Basket and Brown Oval Rattan Bread Basket cover both formal and organic aesthetic directions.
The Hamilton 3-Tier Silver Serving Stand is one of the most useful pieces in the lineup for dessert displays, appetizer presentations, and grazing setups. It creates height variation in a compact footprint and works across a wide range of event styles. The Charcuterie Board is the natural companion for grazing tables and cocktail hour food stations. And Serving Utensils are available across a range of styles to complete the service setup.
Display and Dessert Presentation
A dessert table or cake display is one of the most photographed moments at any event. The right stands make the difference between a display that reads as intentional and one that reads as an afterthought.
The Marble and Gold Cake Stand is the most striking single piece in our display inventory. Its finish photographs beautifully and suits formal weddings and upscale social events. The Willow Two Tiered Stand and Willow Pedestal Cake Stands are warmer, more organic options that suit garden-style and casual events. For a clean, minimal display, the Round Glass Cake Stands in 7.5 and 8 inch sizes work across almost any aesthetic without drawing attention away from what’s on them.

Finishing the Full Table
Catering equipment handles the food. The table presentation handles the impression it leaves. Linens, china, flatware, and glassware are the layer that ties the catering setup into the overall event design. A buffet line dressed with the right linen and served from coordinated china reads as part of a designed event rather than a service station dropped into the middle of one. For caterers building a complete rental order, these categories are worth including from the start rather than adding as an afterthought.
Event Day Starts Well Before the First Guest Arrives
The right catering equipment rentals don’t just support service. They reduce the variables that create problems during the most time-pressured part of any event. For caterers and event hosts across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Nashville, Brentwood, and Spring Hill, Southern Events carries the equipment to get the job done cleanly.

Style Inspiration: Monochromatic Event DesignSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
There’s a reason monochromatic event design continues to trend across weddings, galas, and corporate celebrations—it’s effortlessly chic. By focusing on one color and layering variations of tone, texture, and material, you can create an elevated look that feels both cohesive and memorable. It’s proof that sometimes, less really is more. You don’t have to stress about perfect color matches—what matters is the harmony of hue and the interplay of texture. Below, we’re showcasing how to bring this look to life using some of our favorite in-stock rentals!
Contemporary Black: Sleek and Sophisticated
A black palette never goes out of style. For a dramatic yet timeless look, our Black Velvet Sofa paired with Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs makes an instant statement. The Collins Black Wood Bar adds structure and warmth, while a Black Round Lacquer Charger layered with the Carrera Marble Dinner Plate creates a polished tablescape that feels high-end and editorial. Finish the look with Black Dupioni or Black Nova Linens for an elegant, seamless base that ties it all together.



Luxe and Modern White: Clean, Dreamy, and Timeless
White monochromatic design offers a blank canvas that radiates light and luxury. Our Thompson Full Oval Bar (or half-round) with a white bar back shelf created a sleek foundation for cocktails or displays. For seating, White Chiavari Chairs pair beautifully with layered linens. Try the Havana Parchment Tablecloth topped with a White Sahara Runner for depth and dimension.
At each place setting, Darcy China and matching chargers bring sculptural details to the table, balancing softness with contemporary edge. The result? A look that’s equally suited for a chic wedding or modern corporate dinner. Refined, elegant, and effortlessly photogenic.



Bold Blue: Confident and Captivating
For those who want color with character, a blue monochromatic design feels both bold and classic. The Marine Velvet Sofa and Armchairs set a luxurious tone, especially when paired with an Indigo Rug for depth. On the table, Cabo Blue China and Beaded Meridian Blue Tumblers bring vibrant energy to the setting. We love this look with our Heritage Light Blue Tablecloth and Kennedy Navy Napkins, a pairing that feels layered, fresh, and photo-ready. Whether it’s a dinner under string lights or a ballroom celebration, this shade of blue adds undeniable presence and poise.


Elegant Green: Natural, Inviting, and Refined
A green monochromatic palette brings the outside in, making it perfect for celebrations inspired by nature. The Fern Velvet Sofa and Sage-Blush Rug create a cozy yet elevated lounge area, while Sage Chiavari Chairs add soft structure to your dining setup. The Franklin Sage Bar is an instant showstopper, tying the color story together seamlessly.
For tabletop details, Liana China feels fresh and floral, complemented by the Sahara Sage Runner and Costa Nova Sage Napkins. This palette strikes the perfect balance—organic and grounded, yet exquisitely elegant.



Bringing It All Together
No matter your color of choice, a monochromatic palette allows every detail to shine. By focusing on one color story and playing with tone, texture, and finish, you create visual harmony and sophistication without the fuss. From moody blacks to airy whites, bold blues to elegant greens, these curated looks prove that staying within one palette can make an unforgettable impression.

In Stock | Must-Have Event Furniture for ConferencesSouthern Events Products |
Are you planning a conference and want to make sure your event stands out as both professional and stylish? Look no further than Southern Events for on-trend event furniture! Whether it’s comfortable seating, stylish staging, lounge areas for networking, or cocktail hour essentials, we have everything you need to create a memorable and successful event. Let’s dive into the must-have event furniture for conferences that will make a lasting impression on your guests and boost attendance in the years to come.
Take a Seat—Not a Chance on Comfort
Comfort is a crucial aspect of any conference. Attendees can spend hours seated, listening to speakers or presentations. Ensure they have a pleasant experience with our extensive range of comfortable seating options. From ergonomic Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs to simple Folding Chairs with padding, we offer a variety of seating solutions to suit your event’s needs and theme.
If your conference includes workshops or requires attendees to take notes, don’t forget the importance of providing sturdy and spacious tables. Our inventory boasts a diverse selection of event tables, including classic rectangular options and contemporary round tables—perfect for taking notes or supporting laptops and other materials.


Center Stage: Where Style Meets Spotlight
Impress your attendees and elevate the overall look of your event with our stylish staging and podium options. A well-designed stage not only provides a focal point for speakers and presentations but also adds a touch of professionalism, especially with our Acrylic Podium!
We can also provide skirting for a more cohesive look. To make the stage even more captivating, consider using pipe and drape as backdrops to avoid a mundane corporate vibe. These can be customized to feature event sponsors or display important branding elements—and even serve as a photo opportunity!


Lounge Around (and Make Connections!)
Networking is one of the primary benefits of attending a professional conference. Give your attendees ample opportunity to foster connections by creating inviting lounge areas. Our event furniture includes plush sofas, cozy armchairs, and elegant accent tables. Perfect for attendees to unwind or mingle between sessions during multi-day events.
These pieces allow guests to take a break and recharge before diving back into the conference. Take a look at our curated Lounge Packages, or mix and match pieces to create a one-of-a-kind setup. Just don’t forget to complete the look with a rug!


Raise the Bar (Literally)
End your conference on a high note with a stylish cocktail hour! Our event furniture for conferences includes bars and storage that are not only functional but also add a touch of sophistication to your gathering.
Consider our contemporary Thompson White Bar or the elegant Collins Black Wood Bar—either of which pairs beautifully with the Black Barback Shelf or the Gold Barback Shelf. To complement the event bar, make sure you have on-trend glassware that suits your menu. From modern wine glasses to bold beaded tumblers, we offer a wide selection to choose from. If needed, add on a set of cocktail tables so guests can comfortably enjoy their drinks.


Planning a successful large-scale gathering requires attention to detail, and event furniture for conferences can make all the difference!

From the grand entrance to the cocktail hour, we have everything you need to elevate your event, wow your guests, and boost fundraising efforts.

If you want to create an elongated entrance, pipe and drape make for an elegant hallway. Let us help you create an entrance that exudes sophistication and excitement!


Elegant Fundraiser Dining Tables
Dining is a central element of any corporate fundraiser, and your tables should not only accommodate your guests but also reflect the theme and purpose of your event. We offer a diverse range of dining table options, from classic round to elegant banquet tables. Or elevate your event tables with stylish linens and runners. Whether you prefer a bold look provided by the Black Nova or Blue Kensington Tablecloths. Or the more neutral vibe of a Natural Sahara Table Runner and Kennedy Ivory Tablecloths.
To create eye-catching place settings, we recommend servingware with a subtle metallic accent. Consider the Glass Chargers with Gold Rim, Athena China, and Austin Flatware. Or, for a luxe minimalist look, feature the Glass Mosaic China with Abby Flatware. Another way to elevate your corporate fundraiser is with unique seating. While we love the Gold Chiavari Chairs, the Harlin Dining and Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs will elevate any event.



A Bar That Can Handle the Crowd
No successful fundraiser is complete without a bar! Namely, one that is large enough to handle the crowd. Southern Events stocks a variety of bars, in every shape and size, to ensure that you can serve your guests quickly. And to accommodate any event layout! Take a look at our Thompson Full Oval White Bar or opt for something smaller, like the customizable Harpeth Bar. Whether it’s signature cocktails or a selection of fine wines, we have the resources to keep the drinks flowing smoothly. Including a wide inventory of glassware, from simple rock glasses to champagne coupe glasses and contemporary wine glasses. Of course, to store it all we recommend that you consider elegant barback shelves. Or, help guests settle after a long night when you feature hot beverage dispensers and mugs for a self-serve coffee station.



Staging & Dance Floors
As the night progresses, entertainment becomes key. Ensure your guests have the space to dance and the perfect stage for any presentations or performances! We offer high-quality, professionally installed staging to keep speakers front and center. In addition to sleek podiums. Essential rentals for corporate fundraisers, whether you have an award show, silent auction, or raffle on the program. Afterward, it can be utilized by a live band or DJ to encourage guests to get on their feet and out on the dance floor. These rentals provide a foundation for the evening’s entertainment, keeping the energy high and the fundraising momentum going strong.

On Trend | Corporate Events With Unique ThemesOn Trend, Southern Events Products |
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.




Off to the Races
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.




Upscale Summer BBQ
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.



Black and White Party
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.

On Trend: Corporate Wellness RoomsSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
In a post-pandemic world, the health and happiness of employees is a priority for many companies and business owners. A focus that your team and attendees will appreciate, especially during a conference, convention or corporate summit. Today we’ll share how you can create corporate wellness rooms to help maintain positive and motivated participants!
Create an Ambient Setting
The first step you’ll want to take when creating corporate wellness rooms is selecting a designated area or areas within your event space. We recommend selecting an area that is a ways away from the primary room in use so that your guests can fully escape the hustle and bustle – whether you are hosting a training session or an annual meeting. Once established, pipe and drape can be used to enclose a space. This will help create a more private and ambient setting, in which guests can sit back, relax, and recharge. Choose from a range of beautiful and calming colors, such as black, ivory and white. If you like, you can even designate this area as a quiet or non-tech space!


Lounge Areas
Within your wellness room, you’ll want some comforts that encourage guests to sit and stay for a while. Specifically, lounge areas where people can casually converse or even meditate for a time. Start with cozy neutral or warm colored furniture, like our Bennett Leather Sofa or Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa. Pair it with a set of accent chairs, like our beautiful Gloria Velvet Arm Chairs. Then, finish it off with a plush area rug and a set of matching coffee and side tables. Avoid any pieces that are too contemporary and might give off a cold feeling! Of course, you can also choose from our selection of beautiful lounge packages (we recommend #03 or #26). If you prefer, you can also create smaller areas using our bistro tables and bistro chairs.


Food & Beverage Stations
In addition to helping your guests relax you also want to help them recharge. A scrumptious food and beverage station will help keep them satiated and in tune for a long day of meetings or workshops. Start with an elegant display shelf, like our Black Bar Back Shelf – to store a selection of simple water goblets or other glassware. Nearby, keep refreshing cucumber water or similar beverages in a Glass Beverage Jar. Display snack foods, like fresh fruit or vegetables, in our white family-style service pieces for light on-the-go bites. Accompanied by simple white china! If you’ve been approved for alcoholic beverages, a stylish and well-stocked bar never hurt either.

Southern Style: Hybrid Corporate SummitsSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
With virtual options becoming more normalized for corporate meetings & summits – but attendees still wanting in-person experiences, we expect to see more and more hybrid meeting options. Hybrid corporate summits bring together attendees both in person as well as virtual, making for unique opportunities and challenges when setting the stage and choosing your rentals. After all, they’re still meant to inform and inspire – and impress! To help you host a memorable corporate event for our new normal, check out our essential event rentals that are as functional as they are stylish. Plus! Be sure to grab a copy of our Event Essentials Guide with tips and tricks.
Camera-Ready Stage Set-Ups
It’s important to create the right focal point for your event! A stage that is comfortable, stylish, and on-brand as well as virtually interesting is key. From unique stage seating to out-of-the-box chairs, Southern Events Party Rental Company offers quite the selection to choose from. Our Bennett and Henley Sofas, Eiffel Chairs, Adeline Chairs, Rory Chairs, and Farrah Chairs offer stylish, unique, and comfortable seating for the speakers as they sit on the stage. Accent tables make for a cozy and complete look (as well as a perch for speaker notes or water). Be sure to also consider your stage backdrops – they help frame the space and create a uniform look for virtual users. We love our Boxwood Walls and Pipe & Drape for stage backdrops.



Stylish Lecterns
If you are hosting a more formal speaker or handing out awards, then you will need a lectern. Helpful for keeping your guests front and center, as well as amplifying their voice, they are a staple whether or not you have staging. It will also create a more overall organized event layout! In addition to providing a focal point for in-person guests, it will make live streaming easier for the camera crew as there is an obvious mark for people to speak from on stage. Our Acrylic Lectern is a unique contemporary (and customizable with a cling) choice, while Black Metal is a classic.

Upgrade Your Seating for In-Person Socializing
Want to uplevel your event seating? Make the space extra special for in-person attendees and opt for fun contemporary pieces, like our Acrylic Chairs. Available in a variety of styles, they make for a unique addition to any table. You’ll also want cozy lounge and bistro areas. Whether they are used for breakoff sessions or breaks between speakers where people can spread out. Check out our Mercer Collection (with built-in charging ports) or Pearce Furniture. Or opt for one or two of our curated lounge packages, complete with sofas, chairs, rugs, and accent tables.



Show Off Your Brand
Because corporate summits exist to instill pride and cast vision, weaving on-brand materials and signage throughout the event is typically a strong move in the right direction. You can do this through our customizable Harpeth Bar. As well as custom pillows or colorful clings placed on the back of seating. Or opt for a memorable, photo-worthy entryway, made using our elegant Boxwood Walls.

Southern Love: Emerald & Gold Event Design at the Rutherford Society GalaEvents and Style Shoots, Southern Events Products |
Emerald and gold speaks to opulence and set the tone for the event design at the 13th Annual Rutherford Society Gala. A black-tie affair, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville in southeast Murfreesboro was transformed into an elegant affair. A mix of vibrant and deep greens, white furniture and golden accents made for a luxurious setting.
It is easy to take emerald and gold event design and end up over the top. With beautiful but simple pieces, a chic and functional space is possible. Alongside a pleasing aesthetic our aim is to eliminate any feelings of claustrophobia. It is a cocktail hour after all! Pieces like our Pearce Furniture, a chic modular lounge, and bistro tables will prompt guests towards social areas for a drink well throughout the evening.
The elegant layout and grandeur spilled over to the main ballroom for a 3-course meal. Paired with rich velvet tablecloths and white linens are the perfect amount of gold metallics to make it all pop! This includes Chiavari Chairs, gold-rimmed Athena Plates, and Austin Flatware. A touch of fresh florals in clear glass vases goes on to add some natural beauty.

Jen & Chris Creed Photography
Draping
Draping adds a whole new element of drama to an event – especially when it’s a grand opening or ribbon cutting celebration! Bring attention upwards by adding draping to your next corporate event – the chic design instantly adds a bit of elegance to any venue.
