Southern Style: Must-Have Rentals for Small Gatherings

On Trend, Southern Events Products

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.

Lace and gold polka dots shouldn't work together. In a barn with amber goblets catching the light, they absolutely do. 🕯️

Black and white at The Cordelle. Low light, intimate, and exactly right. 🤍

A monogrammed bar changes the whole feeling of a reception space. 🤍 Customization is one of the most underused tools in event design and one of the easiest ways to make a wedding feel completely personal from the moment guests walk in.

Sage is doing a lot of work here (and it's pulling it off) 🌿

The thing about a monochromatic palette is that it stops feeling like a color choice and starts feeling like a mood. This one carries just as well into fall with the right warm accents alongside it!

A fresh, blue-hued celebration at the always stunning Sycamore Farms 💙 Our Coronado and Laguna china share the same hues but bring their own personality! Together, they add a layer of depth that a single pattern rarely achieves on its own.

Soft blues, blush pinks, sage greens, and lilac tones do something that bolder palettes can't — they work with natural light rather than against it, which makes a space feel cohesive without a lot of effort 🌸

From the bar surface to the glass in every guest's hand, we have it all. 🥂
Our bars come in a range of styles and finishes — and our glassware selection covers everything from classic wine and champagne to specialty cocktail and barware. The bar is one of the most visited spots at any event. It should look the part from every angle.
