Create a Simple Event Bar Layout for Your Event

Southern Events Products

event bar layout ideas

When it comes to hosting a memorable event, the right event bar layout can make all the difference. Southern Event Rentals offers a vast inventory of stylish event bars, designed to cater to your specific needs. Whether you’re planning a small gathering or a large-scale celebration, we have a range of options to suit your guest count and style. Explore the different event bar layouts available. From single event bars to full oval event bars, and even event bar backdrops.

Single Event Bars

A single bar is the go-to choice for your typical event. They strike a perfect balance between style and functionality. These bars are designed to accommodate two bartenders at most, making them suitable for events with moderate guest counts. Although two can be placed side by side if needed. Single bars account for the majority of our inventory and encompass a range of styles and colors. Some of the most popular include the Chelsea Marble Top Bar and Collins Black Wood Bar. For smaller, cozier events such as at-home gatherings or backyard parties, the 4-foot Antique White Event Bar is the way to go. Mini bars are tailored to suit more intimate settings, providing a charming and approachable option for serving your guests.

Half Oval Event Bars

If you’re expecting a larger number of guests and want to maintain an elegant bar setup, half-oval event bars are your solution. These bars feature a half-oval shape, offering ample space for bartenders to work their magic. Plus, plenty of internal storage for your beverages, glassware, and equipment. They work exceptionally well when placed against a wall, optimizing your event space and providing an aesthetically pleasing focal point. This event bar layout can be achieved with both our Thompson White and Thompson Oak Bar Collections. Although the Harpeth Bar is also a beautiful choice as it can also be customized!

Full Oval Event Bars

For grand events where serving a large number of people at once is a top priority, the full oval event bar is the best choice. The Thompson White and Oak Full Oval Event Bars are the largest in our inventory, ensuring that your guests won’t have to wait in long lines for their favorite drinks. The internal storage of these bars is spacious. But if you require more room, additional shelving can be placed in the center. This will allow you to stock a wide range of beverages and supplies.

Event Bar Backdrops

To take your event bar to the next level, consider adding event bar backdrops. Shelving is a stylish and functional choice for stocking a beautiful selection of glassware, as well as bottles. Choose from two styles, a Barback Shelf and a Bookcase.

Hard to argue with the visuals. 🍹

Glassware tends to get finalized late in the rental process and it's one of the details that guests interact with more than almost anything else at an event. Every person at a cocktail hour is holding a glass for the better part of an hour. That's a long time for a rental decision to either elevate or undercut the rest of the setup.

The best weddings have a thread running through them.

This one carried it from the ceremony rows to the reception table — soft, light, and unhurried. Sage accents in the glassware and napkins, scalloped china that added just enough character 🤍

A charger plate never holds a single bite of food. And yet it might be the most important thing on the table. 🍽️

One charger choice can shift the entire tone of a tablescape before a guest ever sits down. We broke down exactly why — link in bio.

The tables that look simple usually aren't. ✨
Earthen Alabaster China and Santorini Stripe Napkins — the kind of details guests notice once they sit down.

A lounge area isn't just extra seating. It's where the party actually lives. ☀️

Guests need somewhere to land between the dance floor and the dinner table. A well-placed lounge gives them that — and keeps the energy moving instead of stalling. Worth thinking about before the floor plan is finalized.

Cocktail hour gets overlooked in the planning process more than it should. 🥂

The right mix of cocktail tables and barstools shapes how guests move, where they land, and how the whole space feels before dinner even starts. We broke down exactly how to get it right — link in bio.
