When hosting an event it is your responsibility and should be your goal, to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your guests. Check out some of our rentals that can be used to host safer Tenneesse events, plus get some helpful design ideas.

Use Rugs to Create More Space

In a post-corona world, you can expect guests to be wary about being in cramped quarters. Create more space by using rugs to widen aisles and walkways. This is especially helpful for common areas, such as entryways. You might also use a rug to block out space, say 6 feet, between lounge seating. Even better, rugs will lend a more cohesive look to your event, since they double as decor.

Level Uneven Surfaces

If you intend to host your event outdoors, creating an even surface is essential. Whether your event space consists of a lumpy lawn or a warped concrete pad, our slip-resistant flooring options make for overall safer events. We have everything you need, from dance floors to heavy-duty Dura-Trac. When it comes to our gorgeous vinyl flooring, we offer a variety of color options, including natural woods and intricate tile designs.

Encourage Good Hygiene

Going forward, hand sanitizer stations are not only encouraged but expected. Even before COVID-19, hand sanitizing stations made guests feel safer. You can encourage proper hygiene at your events with careful placement of our touch-less hand sanitizing stations. This may include entryways and exits, close to public restrooms, and at the head of the buffet line. In addition, consider adding signage throughout the space, or reminding guests of sanitizer station locations and other safety guidelines.

Space Out Table Seating

One of the simplest ways to create safer events is spacing out table seating. Whether you are hosting a dinner or a seminar, consider seating fewer people at each table. Although our round tables can seat 8 guests, limiting each table to 6 guests will allow everyone to be more comfortable.

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.

Copper Cues

Copper has been popping up in event design from elegant to bohemian events – and everywhere in between. But this color chameleon isn’t just a metallic. “Copper” hues offer a range of shades in Southern rentals – like our Rouge Charger or Russet Satin Linens.

Ruby Hues

Not just for fall, use shades of scarlet to wow at your events year-round. From brick red accented with gold to a pop of burgundy, these rich sunset-inspired event colors are sure to have depth to your Southern event.

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.

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!

Warm Tones

Warm-up your 2020 events with earthy tones and cozy textures like velvet (again, we are so. in. love!) – from dusty rose, peach, terra cotta and, of course, gold! 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!
