When planning an event, one element that often stands out as a focal point of fun and celebration is the dance floor. Whether you’re hosting an elegant wedding or a lively backyard birthday party, a dance floor provides the perfect space for guests to let loose and enjoy themselves. At Southern Events, we offer a variety of stylish dance floor rentals that can elevate any occasion. Read on to discover why a dance floor might be the perfect addition to your event and explore our range of rental options.

Do You Need a Dance Floor?

Maybe! There are many reasons you might choose to feature a dance floor at your event. Most people naturally consider a dance floor if they plan to feature live entertainment, such as a band or DJ. However, dance floors can also be useful for events with performers, like a fundraiser or gala. In addition to functioning as activity centers, like at children’s birthday parties. They are particularly necessary for outdoor events, providing stability on uneven terrain. Even indoors, they help delineate a space specifically for dancing, creating a dedicated area for guests to gather and celebrate.

Choosing the Right Style

At Southern Events, we offer a variety of dance floor styles to match any theme or aesthetic:

• White Dance Floor: A popular choice for weddings and anniversaries, our white dance floor exudes elegance and sophistication. Its clean, crisp look can brighten up any venue, making it ideal for formal events.
• Black Dance Floor: Equally popular, the black dance floor offers a unique, modern, and moody aesthetic. This option is perfect for events seeking a sleek, contemporary vibe. Consider this style for a hotel or urban wedding venue!
• Black and White Dance Floor: Our black and white dance floor is a classic and versatile choice. Its timeless checkerboard pattern works well for both weddings and corporate events, adding a touch of retro charm and sophistication.
• Plank Wood Dance Floor: This versatile style is especially popular for outdoor events. The plank wood dance floor brings a rustic, natural feel to your celebration, making it perfect for barn weddings, garden parties, and more.

Choose the Right Size Dance Floor

When considering the size of the dance floor rental you need, the main indicator is your guest count. Southern Events offers dance floors ranging from 8×8 to 24×32, ensuring we have something for every size celebration. Here’s a quick guide to help you determine the best size for your event:

• Small Gatherings (up to 50 guests): 8×8 or 12×12
• Medium Gatherings (50-150 guests): 16×16 or 20×20
• Large Gatherings (150+ guests): 24×24 or 24×32

If you need help determining the right size dance floor for your event, a member of our team would be glad to assist you.

From ballrooms to backyards, a dance floor is an essential element that can transform your event into a memorable celebration. Southern Events offers a range of stylish dance floor rentals to suit any occasion, ensuring your guests have the perfect place to dance the night away. Contact us today to learn more about our dance floor options and find the perfect fit for your next event.

Summer is the season of backyard parties! Whether it’s a birthday celebration, a family reunion, or a simple get-together with friends. Hosting an outdoor party is the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful weather while creating unforgettable memories. And to elevate your backyard gathering, Southern Events Online stocks stylish summer party rentals! Take a look at our inventory that will impress your guests. From coastal chic-inspired furniture to a modern rustic tablescape.

Neutral Coastal Chic

One of our favorite summer vibes is coastal chic! Starring a neutral color palette and natural materials, it is a stunning option for a casual yet elegant backyard gathering. Start by creating a bright and airy tablescape with an off-white, Havana Ecru Tablecloth. For an extra soft and breezy look, add a Sahara Ivory Runner and Ivory Poly Napkins. Meanwhile, Rattan White Wash Chargers will lend some much-needed texture! To warm up the table, feature our elegant Cross-Back Chairs with plush cushions.

Coastal-Inspired Furnishings

Carrying over the theme, you won’t want to miss out on our Sloan Sofa and Armchairs. They are made of classic bentwood with curved caning and a charcoal finish for a modern look. However, to complete the look, add a Linden Marble Table and a Blush Rug. Perhaps a Gold Bar Cart, for a luxe metallic accent. And to keep bubbly or beverages within arms reach!

Sunny Citrus

If you want a more traditional summer look, go with bright and bold colors! For instance, we’re loving this colorful citrus-inspired tablescape starring a rich Navy Blue Velvet Tablecloth. Our Burnt Orange Poly Napkins will beautifully contrast the blue table and tie in a fresh citrus, or fruit-laden charcuterie, centerpiece. Additionally, to maintain a clean and modern look, add on Brushed Copper Flatware and sleek White Coupe China. Depending on how bright you want the table, grab our Fruitwood Folding Chairs or Antique White Bentwood Chairs.

Mini Bar Must-Haves

If you plan to serve alcohol, our Franklin 4ft Antique White Bar is the perfect size for a small backyard celebration. It will be a treat if you plan on having a mixologist on site. Or, if you want to create a small self-serve station featuring our sleek Hampton Beverage Dispensers. Regardless, be sure to stock up on Meridian Blue Tumblers, one of our most underrated summer party rentals – a stunner for poolside cocktails!

Modern Rustic Garden Party

We will never tire of an elegant garden celebration! And that is exactly what inspired this modern rustic backyard party. For instance, think of it like an elevated BBQ where warm woods and muted colors shine. Start with Aged Oak Dining Tables, placed side by side to create a long table fit for socializing. After that, keep it classic when you pair them with rustic benches. Or, elevate the look with elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. In addition, dress up the table with fresh flowers, complemented by clean serving ware and a splash of color. Try muted pieces, like our Amber Goblets or Moss Green Crush Velvet Napkins.

Muted Elegance

For a cocktail hour, consider featuring a down-to-earth lounge with warm woodsy browns. From our Bennett Leather Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs. With a luxe metallic accent, from a set of Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. To soften up the space, add on Chocolate Poufs and a Bellamy Beige Linen Bench. After that, a bold Navy Rug to help frame the area. If you want to wow your guest upon their arrival, welcome them with a White 6-Tier Serving Tower. We recommend colorful cocktails in our Gatsby Champagne Coup glasses!

A new year and new design trends call for new event rentals! In 2023 we expect to see an increase in elevated events that showcase an attention to detail, big and small. Whether you’re planning a bold modern wedding, an intimate birthday bash, or a casual backyard soiree. To help you host a well-thought-out event that will leave a lasting impression on your guests, take a look at our new in-stock event rentals, from luxe linens to sleek serving ware and trendy event furniture.

Stylish Serving Ware + Linens

Modern event tables are bigger and brighter than ever. But rather than featuring intricate serving ware, centerpieces serve as the focal point. Such as large floral arrangements and bold textured linens. Meanwhile, chargers, china, and flatware are sleek and simple. Together, these details lend a perfect balance between minimalism and maximalism! This aesthetic is easy to achieve with our new serving ware & linens. Create a moody neutral table starring our Sahara Runner in White, topped with a Glass Charger with Black Rim and Noir Matte Black Flatware. For a more chic design, try our Sierra Runner in Rose with Georgia China and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware.

Pro Tip: Add a fun splash of color with our velvet napkins in timeless colors like Driftwood or Magnolia.

Trendy Lounge Furniture

If you’ve read any of our blogs then you know we love a stylish event lounge! They are a simple but effective way to elevate any event, from corporate cocktail hours to weddings or backyard parties. To help our clients create one-of-a-kind areas that encourage guests to sit, sip and mingle, we’re adding new furniture to our inventory. Including accent tables, plush sofas, and armchairs. Some of our favorite additions are the Marine Navy Velvet Chair and Grey Tufted Ottoman. Both of which look stunning paired with a Hammered Coffee Table, in Pewter or Gold. To stay on top of the trends we have also updated our lounge packages – be sure to take a look to see if any of these curated collections align with your upcoming event.

On-Theme Event Bars

If there is one item that every event needs, it’s a bar! These versatile pieces aren’t just for serving drinks, but can also be used for displaying food, decor, and more. That’s why this year we are adding a new variety of bars to our inventory that will align with current design trends and event themes. Take our Chelsea Marble Top Bar, a luxe piece fitting for modern retro events or chic cocktail parties. Meanwhile, staple pieces like the Harpeth 8ft Bar can be customized with signage, for weddings or corporate galas! Or create an elegant dessert or champagne tower using White 6-Tier Serving Tower.

If you love event design that is creative and confident, then you’ll fall head over heels for the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year, Very Peri! A soft blue with violet-red undertones, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is described to have a “spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence”. And for a year where event trends include vintage-inspiration and luxe details, what color could be better? To help you plan an a memorable and photo-worthy event, get inspired by event design incorporating Pantone’s color of the year.

Whimsical Event Design

By far our favorite aspect of this color of the year is the whimsy that it lends to an event! A unique mix of blue and purple, Very Peri oozes youthful luxury. Therefore, when featuring this color at your event, we recommend opting for rentals that are equally lighthearted. For example, complement any dining table with our classic Antique White Bentwood Chairs. Or create a contemporary twist with any of our on-trend acrylic chairs, such as the Carrigan Side Chair.

Perfect Very Peri Linens

If you’re looking for an easy way to feature this fun color, without overwhelming, our top is to run with a set of colorful linens! Easy to build on top of, even for an amateur host, it can be used to create a variety of different table settings. A few of our current favorites include Wisteria Satin and Lilac Poly. For an extra luxurious pop of purple, you might also consider our Lavender Velvet – even just for napkins.

Colors That Lend Contrast

Although beautiful, Very Peri is a color that in large quantities can be overwhelming. To break it up be sure to feature a mix of contrasting colors. To keep your overall event palette light and airy, go with a classic and crisp white, as shown with our delicate Darcy China. If you prefer a theme that is bolder, then go big with our stunning Onyx Earthen China. Of course, don’t be afraid to add more color! Our Amber Goblets feature a vintage design and unique color, perfect for a unique bohemian look.

Feeling inspired by event design incorporating Pantone’s color of the year? Contact our team today, at info@southerneventsonline.com, and we’ll help you create a one-of-a-kind look featuring this stunning color.

Warm tones have been trending in events and weddings over the last few years, and we are in love with this palette! Take a cue from nature with these sunset-inspired event colors and event rentals that wrap your Nashville event in warm nostalgia.

Golden Glow

Go for the gold… in event rentals other than your flatware or furniture. Try layering linens in warm neutrals with your event rentals – like the subtle yellow of our Wheat Satin Linens – or add some flair with our Midas Gold Bench.

Mauve Modes

This isn’t your Granny’s curtains anymore. Not quite a rose pink or a chocolate brown, mauve is the perfect color to bridge between feminine & masculine in your event color palette. Layer textures like blush velvet linens with our warm wood Harlin Chairs or a dusty rose pillow on the leather Bennett Sofa.

Create an elegant event lounge with our Black Velvet Sofa and Black and Silver Rug, or layer our matte Onyx Earthen China with Black Velvet or Dupioni Linens for a chic table setting.

Art Deco Blues

Update traditional Art Deco event themes with Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year – Classic Blue. For a Tennessee twist, think blues instead of jazz with event rentals like our Navy Blue Velvet Linens, Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa, Rory Navy Velvet Chair, and Meridian Blue Tumblers.

Make it modern and graphic with clean lines and minimal fuss – and a little metallic never hurt!

Take a note from City Winery’s open house and mix linens for a more interesting look – like our Cameo Blush or Merlot Velvet Linens with the neutral and glamorous Furrow Gold Linens. Bring in another trend with the modern, clean lines of our Acrylic Carrigan Chairs and Midas Gold Benches!

We were honored to work with St. Jude’s Farm, Fork & Cork, where our distinct rentals elevated the fundraising efforts of an important cause. Six of Nashville’s best chefs created a meal for over 300 guests at the private Franklin, TN farm of Michael W. Smith. Generous donors were treated to an upscale event with a thoughtful design, featuring natural elements. The contributions from this charity event helped to ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.

Our fundraiser event rentals played up the farm-to-table culinary experience accented by our Harlin Dining Chairs, round guest tables and long Fruitwood Farm Tables, featuring fresh produce & candlelight centerpieces. Classic Madison glassware was set on the tables alongside our popular gold Austin flatware, adding gold detail to each place setting. Attendees dined on our Earthen China Collection, with an Onyx Dinner Plate and Alabaster Salad Plate. Our distinct rentals were a beautiful addition to a great cause – donors were grateful for a beautiful evening out supporting a massively important cause!
