Nashville knows how to celebrate. Whether it’s an elegant wedding, a lively backyard dinner, or a stylish corporate event, every gathering in this city has its own signature charm. The secret? Thoughtful details and curated rentals that bring your vision to life. At Southern Events, we’ve rounded up the Nashville event rentals everyone’s loving right now—from velvet lounges to statement bars and trendsetting tablescapes.

Bar Setups That Steal the Scene

Every great party starts at the bar. From signature cocktails to sparkling water, your setup deserves as much attention as the drinks themselves. Nashville hosts love pairing style with function, and these bars are leading the charge.

The Collins Black Wood Bar is a solid favorite for its deep black tone and geometric facade that feels both modern and timeless. For a softer, more organic look, the Franklin Sage Bar is trending thanks to its natural green finish and versatile shape. And if you want to dazzle, the Chelsea Marble Top Bar—with its glimmering gold facade and marble surface—is the ultimate statement piece for elevated events.

Stock your bar with glassware from our collection, and complete the look with our bar back shelving in white, gold, or black. Whether you’re serving craft cocktails or hosting a tasting menu, these setups make every pour feel polished.

Linens That Set the Mood

Linens are where design begins. In Nashville, hosts are embracing texture, color, and personality. For a chic and romantic look, Labella Pink adds sophistication with its soft lace-inspired print. For outdoor parties or farmhouse-inspired celebrations, the Savannah Sage Plaid is a fresh yet relaxed choice that complements any natural setting.

Striped linens are also having a moment. Our Santorini Stripe in French Blue or Tobacco is elegant yet approachable, perfect for brunches, showers, and coastal-inspired events. For a touch of luxury, our velvet tablecloths in Fern or Golden are a must-have for winter or evening celebrations. Looking for a pop of color? Top your china with Costa or Lucia Frayed Napkins for subtle contrast and texture.

Tablescapes Guests Love

When it comes to servingware, Nashville clients are leaning into personality and texture. The Green Liana China adds instant charm with its bright floral print. Our Cabo Marigold China brings bold, coastal-inspired color to the table. For something timeless and versatile, the Gwyneth Glass Collection is always a winner.

Layer your look with Walnut or White Wash Rattan Chargers for natural texture. Or choose Scalloped Wood Chargers for a touch of rustic refinement. These pair beautifully with seasonal florals, soft linens, and candlelight, perfect for any event that values warmth and detail.

Luxe Lounges Everyone’s Talking About

There’s nothing like a cozy corner to keep guests comfortable and conversations flowing. Nashville’s love for velvet lounge furniture and eclectic pairings continues to shine through.

For a rich, masculine look, the Bennett Leather Sofa paired with a Carter Chair and Hammered Coffee Table creates a warm, moody vibe perfect for cocktail lounges or whiskey tastings. If your event calls for soft elegance, the Fern Sofa or Charlotte Sofa and armchairs create inviting spaces with timeless silhouettes. A mix of vintage rugs adds dimension, making the space feel layered and complete.

Nashville is renowned for its creativity and charm, and your event can reflect just that. The right mix of party rentals can bring a unique flair to any gathering, offering versatility for hosts who want to get hands-on with DIY projects or prefer a polished, professional finish.

Market Cart

Our Market Cart is a charming piece, perfect for creating a variety of different ‘stations’. Transform it into a delightful candy station by filling jars with colorful sweets where guests can load up on treats. For outdoor events, it makes for a convenient drink stand, whether you’re serving up lemonade or batch mocktails in beverage dispensers. Alternatively, convert it into a flower cart where attendees can assemble their own party favors by designing bouquets with fresh blooms.

Popcorn Machine Package

This vintage-inspired Popcorn Machine Package adds a nostalgic and interactive element to any event. It’s a showstopper for a movie night setup when paired with a cozy outdoor lounge area. For a snack station, set up a nearby toppings bar where guests can customize their own treats. Hosting a carnival-themed event? Use the popcorn machine alongside striped tablecloths and festive decor to create an authentic atmosphere. As a final touch, provide small bags so guests can take some popcorn home as party favors.

Ticket Booth

A Ticket Booth is a whimsical rental that can serve multiple purposes. Turn it into a guestbook station where attendees can leave notes or Polaroid photos as keepsakes. It’s also a fantastic photo prop—decorate it with flowers or balloons to create a fun photo booth setup. For family gatherings or activity-focused events, use the ticket booth to distribute game tickets. It can even double as an entrance checkpoint, stylishly organizing guest check-ins or seating assignments.

White 6-Tier Serving Tower

This unique serving tower is an elegant addition to any event. Its tiers are perfect for showcasing desserts like cupcakes, macarons, or mini cheesecakes, turning your sweets into a visual centerpiece. For brunch gatherings, use it to artfully arrange bagels, muffins, and fruit. If you’re hosting a cocktail party, it can hold garnishes like lemon wedges, olives, and herbs for a DIY cocktail bar. As guests leave, the tower can also serve as a favor display, elegantly presenting small gifts or mementos.

Franklin 4 Foot Antique White Bar

Our Franklin 4 Foot Antique White Bar exudes sophistication and versatility. Use it as a signature drink station, offering custom cocktails or mocktails that align with your event’s theme. For a cozy gathering, transform it into a coffee bar complete with syrups, toppings, and an assortment of mugs. It also doubles as a dessert bar, showcasing cakes, pies, or pastries – elevated with mismatched cake stands. Alternatively, set it up as a welcoming area, adorned with floral arrangements, a guestbook, or champagne for celebratory toasts.

Black Bookcase

The Black Bookcase brings a sleek, modern touch to your event design. As a bar backdrop, it’s ideal for displaying trendy bottles and glassware, adding a professional touch to your beverage area. For an interactive experience, consider displaying your favorite bourbons for a tasting experience. For parties with favors or goodie bags, the bookcase provides a stylish and organized way to present them. Additionally, it’s perfect for themed decor—fill its shelves with props, books, or collectibles to align with your event’s aesthetic.

A coming-of-age celebration, Quinceañeras are a loud and vibrant way to mark a girl’s 15th birthday!

Today we’re sharing just a few ways to host a fun Quinceañera celebration, featuring our luxe and colorful event rentals.

Boxwood Wall for Photo Backdrop

One of our most versatile rentals are our beautiful boxwood walls. First and foremost, they make for a stunning photo backdrop. They can easily be customized with decor, whether it be bright balloons or signage. In either scenario, your guests will love the photo op. If you prefer a more interactive element, consider serving up some cold drinks via a beverage shelf. It is a unique and fun way to serve up some age-appropriate mocktails. For another interactive element, take a look at our new Donut Wall.

Red Carpet Entrance

What is a Quinceañera without a grand entrance? At Southern, we love to roll out the red carpet. In fact, we love it so much that we supply carpets in a variety of colors. Make a memorable entrance when you rent one of our carpets, whether you go with a classic white or black, or a modern pink.

Staging & Dance Floor

If your Quince will include music, then you’ll definitely need staging. It is the perfect way to make a live band, or another form of entertainment, front and center. In the event that you do have music, be sure to check out our classic black and white dance floor. This photogenic flooring is as stylish as it is perfect for busting some moves on.

Cake Stands

Last, but far from least, we can’t forget the importance of an impressive dessert bar. Specifically, a cake stand for your cake. Our Windsor Gold Cake Stand exudes modern luxury, and is beautiful in a way that won’t take away from the cake. If you really want to take your event to the next level, be sure to consider our modern glass candy jars. They’re perfect for creating a one-of-kind (not to mention delicious) dessert table!

The holiday season is just around the corner, so of course we’re obsessing over seasonal trends! If you’re planning a holiday party or a winter-themed wedding it can be tough to decide how to decorate without being too cliché. We once again find ourselves asking the all-important question of the holiday season: how to create a beautiful celebration setting without defaulting to the overused reds and greens? This year we’re seeing a lovely toward choosing between warm and cool tones. Rather than getting tied down to a color scheme, choosing a warm tone reminiscent of a twinkle-lit tree or cozy fireplace, or a cool tone reminiscent of a starry winter’s night, does a lot more to capture the essence of the holiday season.

Whether you’re choosing a warm or cool tone, the common denominator is the same: lots of whites, neutrals, and metallics, with a festive splash of color. The design is in the details – choosing which chargers, glassware, and linens you prefer go a long way toward achieving the right look.

Remember this fun winter wonderland wedding styleshoot from last season? Indoors it was all cool tones, with our mercury glass and silver linens taking center stage to create an icy elegance.

Outside it was cheery tones, with our farm tables and coral linens to warm up the coldest noses.

This Narnia-styled shoot we did last year is another great example of a cool-toned winter wedding. Our Belmont chargers, the ssorted mercury glass, and silver candelabras contrasted beautifully with our farm tables and espresso-colored linens, creating a beautiful and cool rustic winter scene.
