In recent years small gatherings have peaked in popularity! As there is something extra charming about a party that is smaller in size, or more exclusive, yet stylish. Get inspired by some of our must-have rentals for small gatherings, perfect for hosting intimate parties in the greater Nashville area.

Chairs & Tables

We’re kicking things off with the basics! Chairs & tables are a must, whether you are serving food or simply want to encourage guests to sit down and stay for a while. Our lounge packages feature beautiful furniture, perfect for a casual evening in the backyard. When it’s time to eat, gather around our always beautiful Fruitwood Farm Table, with child-sized furniture (chairs included) to match. For a cocktail hour, a set of bistro tables and bar stools are a classic choice.

Stylish Rugs

Rugs are a must-have when it comes to defining a space. Large or small, they create a frame in which to lay out a social area. Alternatively, they add an additional level of comfort underfoot. With summer coming we’re favoring bright colors, like our Aqua Rug or Blue-Red Rug. For some extra pizzazz, try layering a few of your favorites.

Bar Service

With the weather warming up, you’ll want to treat your guests to a cold drink. We offer a variety of beautiful stands and displays, perfect for a small bar or self-serve area. Our 4ft Antique White Bar is an elegant choice for a more upscale event. Or for a quaint but stylish self-serve area, check out our Avenue Bar Back Shelf. It has just enough space to hold glassware, alcohol, and your ingredients of choice. You will also have a wide selection of gorgeous glassware to choose from, to complement the style of your event!

A Fun Focal Point

Every party needs a unique, eye-catching focal point. When hosting happy hour or your event will include alcohol, our Boxwood Wall makes for a fun interactive photo backdrop or central spot for guest place cards. It can also be used to serve up refreshing beverages throughout the duration of your event!

Tabletop Decor

Don’t let your tables sit bare! Even a small centerpiece goes a long way. We offer a variety of lanterns and votives in various colors. Use these as decoration or to create a warm ambiance once the sun goes down. If you plan on showcasing some flowers fresh from the garden, our cylindrical and square glass vases are an elegant choice.

Musicians need somewhere to sit, and our Urban Metal Barstool is the perfect solution. Looking unique and industrial, it exudes the perfect city vibe for Music City’s best singers and songwriters to showcase their music.

Chocolate Poof

A comfortable addition to a musician’s design is our Chocolate Poof.  They match our Leather Bennett Couch, working as an unexpected accent piece while still being functional as another spot to sit or a great place to rest your feet.

Granger Nesting Tables and Rivet Accent Tables

Great additions to the rustic-artist design are our new Granger Nesting Tables and Rivet Accent Tables. Metal legs and an urban look coupled with a solid wooden top make these rentals architecturally unique while still being functional.

Staging

If you’re interested in creating a more traditional stage setting, Southern’s Staging rentals are perfect. You can design your venue to elevate the musicians on a true stage and create stadium seating to allow listeners to comfortably view the artists at work.

Votive Candles and Lanterns

Nothing sets the mood like lighting! If your Nashville artists are performing an intimate, unplugged set then be sure to create an ambiance that matches. Votive Candles and Lanterns on various side tables, or even on the floor surrounding the stage area are the perfect answer to setting the mood at your Music City event.

Auditorium Seats

Our Vintage Auditorium Seats create a nostalgic music experience for listeners while retaining that unique Nashville vibe.

Farm Bistro & Crossback Stools

Give listeners somewhere to sit and enjoy their drinks while taking in the music – our Farm Bistro tables are great high-top tables (perfect for creating stadium seating behind lower couches and sofas), while our Crossback Stools add a rustic Nashville touch to a musical experience.
