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.

Pink and mint walked into a wedding at @cjsoffthesquare and honestly? They owned it. 🌸

Floral ceremony, white folding chairs, and reception tables that committed fully to the color story.

Moody done right. 🍷
Deep plum linens, rattan chargers, and our Lucia Frayed Napkins — this table had texture coming from every direction without ever feeling like too much.

From the first drink to the last plate — this is the part guests remember. ✨ A cocktail that lands right, a table that actually felt designed.

The @franklinrodeo is proof that corporate events don't have to play it safe 🤠

Amber glassware, cowhide rugs, wood furniture, a large bar — the setup had a clear point of view and the crowd responded to it. When the rental selections match the energy of the event, guests notice!

Something new is in the showroom ✨

Meet Welles — a soft blue china with a delicate pattern around the rim that sits right in that sweet spot between understated and memorable. Also available in Wheat for a warmer take on the same quiet elegance.

Fresh, bright, and just the right amount of fun. 🍊

This setup for @GraceWorksTN is giving us all the spring feels — orange and white pops of color paired with our new Natural Willow chairs. Simple, cozy, and somehow exactly right.

Harlindale Farm hits different in the evening. 🌿

Loved being part of the @friendsoffranklinparks event — barn setting, bright linens, vintage-inspired blue glassware, and the kind of crowd that genuinely cares about this place. Franklin does community well!

Cocktail hour deserves a proper glass. 🍋

The right glassware changes how a drink feels in your hand — and how it looks on the table. These citrus-forward sips hit different when they're served right.
