A hotel ballroom gives you a lot to work with. High ceilings, neutral walls, and a blank-slate floor plan that can accommodate almost any layout. What it doesn’t give you, at least not by default, is warmth. Most ballrooms feel impersonal until someone makes deliberate decisions about texture, color, furniture, and light. That’s where rentals come in. The right pieces don’t just fill a ballroom. They transform it.

Why Hotel Ballrooms Need More Than Tables and Chairs

How do you make a hotel ballroom feel less cold and impersonal?

The answer is layering. A ballroom styled with tables, chairs, and linens alone will look complete but feel flat. Warmth comes from introducing multiple surfaces, textures, and furniture types that give the eye somewhere to travel and guests somewhere to settle. Lounge areas break up the floor plan. Textured linens add depth at the table level. Decorative lighting softens overhead fixtures that are often too bright and too cool for a reception atmosphere.

The goal is to design the room so it feels like several connected spaces rather than one large one. Guests should be able to move between the dance floor, the dinner tables, a lounge corner, and a cocktail area without feeling like they’re crossing a convention hall.

What rentals help soften a large event venue?

A few categories do the most work:

• Lounge furniture creates defined zones and gives guests a destination beyond their assigned seat. A well-placed sofa and chair grouping anchors a corner of the room and makes the overall space feel more intimate by giving it edges.
• Textured linens in velvet, jacquard, or floral prints add visual warmth at the table level that solid, flat linens don’t provide.
• Decorative lighting like cordless tabletop lamps layers in warm ambient light that flatters the space and the guests in it.
• Charger plates and glassware add depth and dimension to the tablescape, especially when layered with napkins and multiple glassware options.

How do you create intimate spaces in a large ballroom?

Furniture arrangement is the primary tool. Lounge groupings positioned along the perimeter or in natural alcoves of the room create visual boundaries that make a large space feel scaled to the people in it. Cocktail tables and barstools near the bar or dance floor give guests a place to land between moments without retreating to their dinner seat. The room starts to feel less like a single large space and more like a venue with distinct areas, each with its own purpose and feel.

Styling a Ballroom Around the Venue: Two Approaches

The most effective ballroom wedding designs work with the venue rather than against it. That means reading the existing architecture, color, and light and choosing rentals that extend those qualities rather than fight them. The Hermitage Hotel is a good example of how different two spaces within the same building can be, and how much the rental approach needs to shift between them.

The Veranda

The Veranda’s crisp blue and white palette and architectural detail call for a design approach built around elegance and softness. Sarafina White Floral Textured Linens are a natural fit. The tone-on-tone floral texture adds dimension without introducing color that competes with the room. Pair them with Harlin Dining Chairs, whose refined sculptural silhouette suits the formality of the space without feeling stiff.

On the table, Monaca Cut Crystal Glassware catches and layers light in a way standard glassware doesn’t. Add Blue Tabletop Lamps on dinner tables or within a lounge grouping and the color story of the room carries through every surface. The result is a tablescape that feels like it was designed specifically for the space, because it was.

The Grand Ballroom

The Grand Ballroom brings its own texture. Warm wood walls and an ornate ceiling mean the room already has strong character. The design opportunity here is contrast rather than matching. Willow Chairs in Black read crisp and contemporary against the warm wood interior without feeling out of place in a formal setting.

Rose Bloom and Vine Linens are the element that brings the combination to life. The floral print is whimsical and warm, and in a room with this much architectural presence, it holds beautifully. Copper Glass Chargers bridge the black chairs and the floral linen with metallic warmth. Layer in a textured napkin and multiple glassware options and the place setting has genuine depth. That layered quality is what makes a ballroom table feel designed rather than just set.

From Blank Slate to Beautifully Styled

A hotel ballroom is one of the most rewarding venues to style well, and one of the most common requests we get at Southern Events. For weddings across Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, and Spring Hill, the right rental choices are what turn a large, neutral space into something guests remember. To start building your ballroom wedding rental list, browse our full inventory or reach out to our team to start the conversation.

One of the earliest rental decisions clients face is also one of the most consequential. Farm tables and round tables create fundamentally different guest experiences. They fill space differently, photograph differently, and shape the flow of conversation in ways most people don’t fully consider until they’re standing in a venue trying to picture it. At Southern Events, we’ve helped clients across Middle Tennessee navigate this decision for over 20 years.

What Is the Difference Between a Farm Table and a Round Table for Events?

A farm table, also called a banquet or dining table, is a long rectangular surface that seats guests along both sides and occasionally at the ends. A round table seats guests in a circle, with no defined head or foot. The functional difference is significant. Farm tables create a linear, communal dining experience where conversation runs lengthwise down the table. Round tables create an enclosed group experience where every seat faces the center. Neither is inherently better. They serve different purposes and suit different venue shapes, guest counts, and aesthetic goals.

Farm Tables: When Long and Communal Is the Right Call

The aesthetic case for farm tables

Farm tables carry visual weight. A long run of wood down the center of a venue is a statement before a single guest sits down. They photograph dramatically, especially from an elevated angle, and they create the kind of long, layered tablescape that showcases florals, candles, and linen details most effectively. Our farm table inventory covers a range of finishes to suit different aesthetics:

• The Aged Oak Dining Table brings warm, natural texture. It works beautifully with greenery, candlelight, and earthy palettes.
• The White Antique Dining Table is a clean, versatile option that suits garden-style, classic, and modern romantic aesthetics equally well.
• The Fruitwood Farm Table offers a rich, mid-tone wood that pairs naturally with warm metallics and organic textures.
• The Raven Black Farm Table is the most dramatic option. It works well for moody, modern, or high-contrast event designs.

Styling farm tables with runners

Farm tables are typically left without a full linen, which lets the wood finish do the work. The natural complement is a table runner rather than a full cloth. Our Sahara Runners are available in Natural, Ivory, Sage, and Rust. Each adds texture and color without covering the table surface entirely. Natural and Ivory keep the look clean and classic. Sage and Rust introduce organic color that pairs well with seasonal florals and greenery.

When farm tables work best

Farm tables suit long, narrow venues where round tables would feel cramped. They also work well outdoors, where the linear layout follows the natural flow of a tented or open-air space. For events where the tablescape itself is a design priority, farm tables give florals and decor the longest possible canvas to work across.

Do farm tables or round tables work better for outdoor events?

Farm tables tend to be the stronger choice outdoors. Their linear footprint works naturally within tented structures and open-air layouts. They’re also easier to anchor visually in a wide outdoor space where round tables can feel scattered. That said, a mix of both can work well outdoors when the venue shape supports it.

Round Tables: When Intimacy and Flexibility Matter More

The case for round tables

Round tables are the more flexible option. They fit a wider range of venue shapes, scale more easily to different guest counts, and create a naturally intimate dining experience where every seat feels equal. They’re also the more familiar format for corporate events, galas, and formal seated dinners where guests expect a traditional layout.

What is the difference between a farm table and a round table for events in terms of seating?

A standard 60-inch round table seats 8 to 10 guests comfortably. A standard 8-foot farm table seats 8 to 10 as well, but the experience is different. Round tables allow easier cross-table conversation within the group. Farm tables encourage conversation with the guests immediately to your left and right, and across from you, but make it harder to engage with guests further down the table.

Styling round tables with linens

Our round tables are the same in shape and size, so the linen is where the design work happens. The range is wide. Blue Bloom and Vine brings a fresh, floral print that works beautifully for spring and garden-style events. Velvet tablecloths in rich, saturated colors add depth and warmth for fall, winter, and evening events. Satin tablecloths offer a polished, classic finish that suits formal weddings and corporate galas. The linen choice essentially sets the entire tone of the table, which gives round tables a versatility that farm tables, by nature of their visible wood finish, don’t have in the same way.

Bonus: The Serpentine Table

For clients who want the communal, long-table feel of a farm table with a more organic shape, the Serpentine Table is worth knowing about. Its curved sections can be configured into sweeping S-shapes or gentle arcs that fill a venue space in a way neither a straight farm table nor a round table can. It’s a less common choice, which is part of the appeal. It photographs distinctively and creates a genuine focal point in the room.

Can You Mix Farm Tables and Round Tables at the Same Event?

Yes, and it’s a common approach for larger events. A long farm table for the wedding party or head table paired with round tables for guests is one of the most effective ways to create visual hierarchy in a reception space. The farm table draws the eye and anchors the room. Round tables fill the remaining space efficiently without competing with it. The key is keeping the linen and decor language consistent across both table styles so the room reads as one cohesive design.

Still Deciding? We Can Help With That.

The farm table rental vs. round table rental decision shapes the guest experience more than most people expect. For events across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Nashville, Brentwood, and Spring Hill, it’s one of the first conversations we have with new clients, and one of the most useful ones.

Wedding seating plays a bigger role in event design than most people expect. Chairs influence the overall aesthetic, affect guest comfort, and help define whether a space feels classic, relaxed, or modern. With so many styles available, choosing the right option can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks down three of the most popular wedding chair rentals—Chiavari, Cross Back, and Ghost—so you can decide which style best fits your venue, guest list, and design vision.

Chiavari Chairs: Classic and Versatile

Chiavari chairs are a staple in wedding seating for a reason. Their slim silhouette and elegant profile work beautifully across a wide range of styles, from traditional ballroom weddings to outdoor garden ceremonies.

Our Chiavari chair rentals are available in Black, Fruitwood, Gold, Sage, and White, making them easy to match with your color palette and overall aesthetic. Gold Chiavari chairs bring formal elegance to indoor receptions, while Fruitwood and Sage feel warm and organic for outdoor settings. White Chiavari chairs are especially popular for spring and summer weddings where a clean, airy look is key.

If you’re wondering what chair style works best for outdoor weddings, Chiavari chairs are often a safe and stylish choice. Their lightweight design makes them easy to place on grass, patios, or tented spaces, and they photograph beautifully from every angle.

Cross Back Chairs: Warm and Inviting

Cross Back chairs offer a more relaxed feel without sacrificing sophistication. Their curved backs and wood tones create a welcoming atmosphere that works especially well for vineyard weddings, barn venues, and outdoor receptions.

Our Cross Back chair rentals are a favorite for couples who want seating that feels intentional but not overly formal. For similar looks with added flexibility, other wood alternatives include the Fruitwood Folding Chair or the more refined Harlin Dining Chair. These offer a slightly elevated profile while maintaining warmth and comfort.

These styles are ideal for long receptions and dinner-focused celebrations where guests will be seated for extended periods. The natural wood tones also pair effortlessly with farm tables, breezy runners, and candlelit centerpieces.

Ghost Chairs: Modern and Minimal

For couples drawn to clean lines and contemporary design, Ghost chairs offer a striking alternative to traditional wedding seating. Made from clear acrylic, these chairs blend seamlessly into their surroundings, allowing florals, linens, and architecture to take center stage.

We offer several Ghost chair options depending on your needs. The Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair is an ethereal option that works well for both ceremonies and receptions. The Acrylic Ghost Arm Chair is typically better suited for receptions, head tables, or sweetheart tables. When guests are seated longer, they appreciate the added support of armrests. For ceremonies, the Acrylic Ghost Armless Chair is a popular choice thanks to its sleek profile and unobstructed look.

A common concern we hear is, are ghost chairs comfortable for guests? While they may look minimal, they are designed for stability and comfort, especially for ceremony seating or shorter seated moments.

Mixing Chair Styles Thoughtfully

Not every wedding needs to use a single chair style throughout. Many couples mix seating intentionally—for example, Ghost chairs for the ceremony and Chiavari or Cross Back chairs for the reception. This approach allows you to tailor each space to its purpose while still maintaining a cohesive design. The key is consistency in tone. Mixing works best when styles share a common thread, such as color, material, or overall formality level.

Planning Your Wedding Seating

Another common question is, how many chairs do I need for a wedding? A good rule of thumb is one chair per guest for the ceremony, plus a small buffer for unexpected additions. If your ceremony and reception are in the same space, your seating plan may be more streamlined. If they’re separate, you may need chairs for both areas, depending on the layout and timing.

Your venue size, layout, and guest flow all play a role in determining the right seating strategy. This is where working with an experienced rental team can help simplify decisions and avoid last-minute surprises.

Choosing Wedding Chair Rentals that Fit Your Vision

The best wedding seating doesn’t just look good—it supports how your day unfolds. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless elegance of Chiavari chairs, the warmth of Cross Back seating, or the modern edge of Ghost chairs, the right choice will complement your venue and elevate the guest experience.

When the holidays arrive, it’s all about connection—the laughter, the stories, and the simple joy of being together. Whether you’re hosting a corporate party, a cocktail soirée, or an intimate winter gathering, creating inviting holiday lounge areas helps set the tone. A well-designed lounge encourages guests to relax, mingle, and linger a little longer. If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I design a cozy holiday lounge for a party?” it starts with thoughtful furniture pairings, a few key accessories, and plenty of warmth in color and texture.

Lounge Looks That Inspire

The right furniture can completely transform your space, offering comfort and sophistication in equal measure. Each of our curated combinations below helps you achieve a distinct style, whether your holiday celebration calls for moody drama, natural warmth, or bold elegance.

Moody Glam

For a look that’s both sleek and inviting, style the Magnolia Velvet Sofa with Black Brooks Velvet Chairs and the Avalon Rectangle Coffee Table.

This combination feels rich and intimate, fitting for evening gatherings or candlelit celebrations where guests can settle in with a drink and good company.

I had a great experience with Southern Events! Not only were their prices reasonable, but everything went smoothly. They were very accommodating with our rental needs and the set up, flip, and break down all went perfectly. Couldnt have asked for a better rental company! —Annie M.

No lounge area is complete without a nearby bar for guests to enjoy a festive drink while they chat and unwind. Our Black Jamison Curved Bar adds a dramatic focal point to any space, while the Chelsea Marble Top Bar brings subtle shimmer. For something timeless, the Franklin Antique White Bar offers a classic and versatile look.

Pair your bar with coordinating bar back shelves in black, white, or gold to keep glassware within easy reach and your display beautiful from every angle. Stock the shelves with elegant options from our glassware collection, whether you’re serving hot spiked cider, champagne toasts, or themed holiday cocktails.

Cocktail Tables That Tie It All Together

Cocktail tables are the unsung heroes of any great lounge setup—they’re where conversations happen, drinks rest, and decor details shine. The Charleston Bistro Table with a marble top makes a statement all on its own, perfect for a cocktail reception or dessert station. For a softer seasonal touch, cover classic tables with rich velvet linens in jewel or neutral tones.

Looking for a lighter, more natural aesthetic? The Palmer Bistro Table with matching chairs offers effortless charm in warm wood tones, ideal for daytime holiday gatherings. And for a luxe twist, the Loren Gold Bistro Table pairs beautifully with Acrylic Ghost Barstools or Gold Chiavari Barstools. It’s always a good idea to bring a hint of glamour to your festive setting!

Finishing Touches for a Cozy Holiday Lounge

“What accessories should I add to a holiday lounge space?” Start with texture! Think faux fur throws, velvet pillows, layered rugs, and ambient lighting. Add candles or twinkle lights to make your lounge glow. A few simple accents can transform a beautiful setup into one that feels lived-in, warm, and utterly welcoming.

From moody cocktail lounges to soft, winter-inspired spaces, our winter lounge furniture collection makes it easy to design the perfect holiday hangout. With the right mix of materials, seating, and sparkle, your guests will never want to leave. Contact us today to secure your rentals!

A Floral-Filled Vow Exchange

At-home baby showers offer an intimate and personalized way to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little one. And at Southern Events, we believe that even the smallest moments deserve grandeur! That’s why we’re here to guide you on how to host an elegant baby sprinkle that will impress your guests or the mom-to-be. From curated furniture and vibrant event linens to charming dinnerware and trendy props. Our expertise in event rentals will make it easy to bring your baby shower or sprinkle vision to life.

What is a Baby Sprinkle?

A smaller version of a traditional baby shower, a baby sprinkle is typically held for parents who are expecting their second or subsequent child. The term “sprinkle” conveys the idea that the event is more about a show of support, rather than showering them with extensive gifts and attention – often associated with a first-time baby shower. Largely because parents already have many of the essential baby items from their previous child. Instead, the focus is on gathering with close friends and family in a casual setting. Making it the perfect occasion to celebrate with an intimate informal dinner at home!

Stylish Dining Tables & Chairs

Transform your home into a haven of sophistication with our beautiful event furniture. Choose from a range of rentals that exude Southern charm, featuring warm woodsy tones and soft antique details. For a modern rustic vibe, consider the Aged Oak Table paired with the Harlin Dining or Cross-Back Chairs. If you’re leaning towards a brighter look, the White Antique Dining Table and Antique White Bentwood Chairs are a fantastic choice. With these curated pieces, you can easily create an unforgettable setting. Or the foundation for an elegant baby sprinkle theme.

Brightly Colored Event Linens

Set the tone for your baby sprinkle with event linens that exude charm and anticipation. Hint at the baby’s gender with bold or pastel shades. Like the Heritage Light Blue and Navy Blue Velvet for a boy. Or, the Kennedy Pink and Lilac Poly for a girl. Alternatively, embrace beautiful neutral tones! With colors like Golden Velvet or the classic Sage Poly. To infuse an extra touch of elegance, explore unique materials. Such as buttery satin, soft velvet, or lightweight linen. These will not only serve as a backdrop for your celebration but lend depth and dimension to the table.

Darling Dinner Ware

The dinner table is where memories are made and conversations flow. Make a lasting impression with our elegant and bright china. Achieve a modern look with the White Coupe China and Rattan White Wash Charger. Or opt for a softer look with the Alabaster Earthen China. Paired with charming Darcy Chargers, featuring a delicate scalloped edge. Add a hint of luxury with gold accents like the Vera Floral China. Or the Coronado pattern for a subtle pop of color. To complete your place setting, all of these pieces harmonize seamlessly with our Celia Gold Rim Glassware and Austin Flatware.

Focal Points That Delight

Create focal points that spark conversations and double as stylish props. Our bars are not only perfect for serving drinks but make for eye-catching displays. Perfect for desserts like gender reveal cakes! The Alice Bar exudes elegance. While the Chelsea Marble Top Bar adds a modern retro touch to your setup. Looking for something more playful? Our Market Cart can be easily customized with colorful balloons and signage. Adding a whimsical element to the ambiance. Consider pairing it with the Vintage Popcorn Machine that playfully declares “She’s About to Pop!”

Southern Events offers a curated selection of furnishings, linens, dinnerware, and props that help you craft an elegant baby sprinkle.
