There’s something magical about a homestyle gathering that exudes warmth and charm. Picture this: a serene backyard, the gentle rustle of leaves, and a table set to perfection. A setting designed to evoke the comfort and elegance of an indoor space! With a few carefully chosen elements, you can create an outdoor event that feels as cozy and luxurious as your living room. At Southern Events, we’ve got everything you need to make this vision a reality.

Serving Ware with Style

No Southern gathering is complete without a spread of delectable dishes served in style. Swap out the everyday picnic plates for our selection of elegant serving ware that brings a touch of sophistication to your outdoor affair. Our Cabo China, in Blue or Marigold, is a bold choice bringing a splash of color to your event table. For a touch of glam, complement these pieces with a Gold Rim Glass Charger and our Austin Flatware. Or elude to nature and opt for a lush print like Emma or Liana. Alternatively, choose simple china that lets your decor shine! Such as the Glass Mosaic or Earthen Alabaster China. Don’t forget glassware! We stock pieces that range from sophisticated wine glasses to colorful goblets.

Linens That Love a Breeze

Linens might not be the first thing you think of when planning an outdoor event, but they’re the unsung heroes of creating that indoor-outdoor vibe. Draped over tables or plates, the right linens add texture, color, and warmth to your setup. Our durable Kennedy Linens are a solid foundation, whether you prefer a soft Topaz or a rich Storm. You can also create some dimension by mixing and matching textures and colors, such as a shimmering satin in shades of pink and purple. To achieve a more minimal and breezy aesthetic, opt for a Sahara Runner in neutral shades like Natural or Sage. Whether you’re going for the crispness of cotton or the richness of velvet, our range of linens will have you covered—literally.

Furniture That Feels Like Home

Comfort is key when bringing the indoors out, and that’s where our furniture rentals shine. Think plush sofas under the stars, armchairs that invite long conversations, and dining tables that serve as the heart of your gathering. Our wood tables are a captivating choice that brings luxury outdoors, even more so when combined with elegant Cross-Back or Adeline Dining Chairs. For added contrast, opt for Antique White Bentwood or Black Willow Chairs. If you’ll have a cocktail hour, be sure to take a look at our cocktail tables and barstools. Finally, create a unique outdoor lounge area when you mix and match sofas, armchairs, rugs, and accent tables. Or grab one of our curated lounges – there’s an option for every celebration!

Curated Tableware Packages

At Southern Events, we understand that crafting the perfect dinner or reception table can be daunting, especially when aiming for that flawless Southern charm. That’s why we’ve introduced our Styled By Southern curated tableware packages. Handpicked by our expert designers, these packages offer a seamless blend of style and functionality, ensuring that your tablescape suits the mood and theme of your event. Whether you’re going for a moody, elegant, or eclectic look, our curated collections take the guesswork out of table settings.

Hosting a homestyle gathering outdoors is all about blending comfort with elegance! With the right serving ware, linens, and furniture, you can achieve a look that’s as luxurious as it is inviting. Reach out to us and let’s start planning!

When it comes to hosting a memorable event, creating the perfect ambiance is essential. From corporate gatherings to weddings, the right furniture can elevate any occasion. And to help you, Southern Events offers a stunning collection of stylish specialty furniture rentals that are sure to impress your guests. From sophisticated lounge furniture to eye-catching props and more! Explore our in-stock rentals to discover how you can elevate your next celebration.

Luxe Lounge Furniture

Creating cozy and stylish lounge areas at your event has never been easier. From plush sofas and elegant armchairs to trendy ottomans and sleek coffee tables, our collection has it all. Whether you’re hosting a corporate cocktail party or an intimate wedding reception, these pieces will ensure your guests feel comfortable. We recommend starting with a large loveseat or sofa set to match your theme. Choose from a collection, like the coastal-inspired Charlotte Collection or the contemporary Estelle Quarter Round Sofa. Alternatively, mix and match our single sofas and armchairs to match your event theme or style. Such as the Jacqueline Sofa and Bamboo Arm Chairs, a fitting combination for a modern retro vibe.

Don’t forget to add on a set of accent tables and rug (or two), to create a cohesive look! The Gold Hammered Coffee Table and Capri Metal Table are both classic choices. As are our vintage rugs, available in an array of bright and beautiful colors.

Dining Tables & Chairs

The dining experience starts with an impressive tablescape, the foundation of which are tables and chairs. For this reason, we stock a beautiful range of specialty furniture rentals, both functional and stylish. From modern rustic farm tables to chic chairs in various designs, our collection caters to diverse event themes and aesthetics. The newest addition, our Aged Oak Dining Table is a classic choice for any event and will lend a down-to-earth vibe. Should you prefer a brighter look, contrasted by bold servingware, opt for the White Antique Dining Table. Each of these looks stunning with Harlin Dining Chairs.

In the event that you will have an event bar, encourage guests to socialize with carefully placed cocktail tables. Such as the Palmer Bistro Table, complemented by matching barstools. If you need more seating, the Loren Gold Bistro Table is a beautiful alternative, that perfectly suits our Acrylic Ghost Barstools.

Eye-Catching Props

To truly transform your event space into a captivating environment you will want to feature eye-catching props! These unique decorative pieces add personality and flair to any setting, enhancing the visual appeal of your event. To create a luxurious display of desserts, consider our Market Cart, elevated with colorful balloons or flowers. For outdoor soirees, our White 6-Tier Serving Tower or Gold Bar Cart is perfect for serving up freshly made cocktails (or mocktails). Or, for the younger guests, party favors such as grab-and-go snacks or gift bags.

Bars and Shelving

A highly anticipated element at many events is the bar — hopefully well-stocked! We offer a beautiful collection of stylish bars and shelving options that not only serve as functional beverage stations but also make a statement. Whether you prefer a rustic wooden bar or a modern acrylic design, these specialty furniture rentals are a focal point that guests will flock to. The Collins Black Wood Bar is an elegant piece that, although its dark color, will lend a sophisticated look. Meanwhile, the Chelsea Marble Top Bar is ideal for a modern retro affair. Or, feature the Sorrento White Bar for a luxe contemporary event.

For storage, complement any of our bars with shelving, useful for showcasing glassware or bottles. Whether it be a White Bookcase or Gold Avenue Barback Shelf.

Even though there are many great event & wedding venues around Nashville and Franklin, we do have a few that are favorites! The Barn at Cranford Hollow and its variety of amenities – including a state-of-the-art caterer’s kitchen, charming lighting, and beautiful bride and groom suites – makes it a top pick for hosting a wedding in Middle Tennessee. A family-owned and operated farm, The Barn at Cranford Hollow sits on 50 acres in Middle Tennessee. Built in 2015, the 6000+ square foot, Amish-built barn now plays host to a variety of event types & sizes. The design is modern and clean, making it a versatile space with which hosts can pull off the event of their dreams. To help you determine whether this venue aligns with your vision, here are a few ideas for hosting a wedding at Cranford Hollow.

Outdoor Ceremony & Portraits

What better way to say “I Do” than outdoors in the fresh air? The Barn at Cranford Hollow offers plenty of spaces for a wedding ceremony. Afterward, you’ll be able to make the most of seasonal foliage, which can be used for beautiful natural photo backdrops. In addition, Southern Events is proud to offer a range of rentals for your nuptials. Including a variety of geometric wedding backdrops, from an elegant hexagon to a boho-inspired triangle.

Elegant Neutral Interior

Although a barn, this event space is far from rustic. It is painted with neutral colors, including black and white, and features industrial details. Guests will enjoy an intimate ambiance, thanks to a high ceiling lit by an elegant chandelier and string lights. Within this space, you can achieve a variety of styles and themes, from boho glam to elegant minimalism.

Below you’ll see our romantic wedding set up, including sweetheart and reception tables. They are set with crisp linens, classic white china, and pink-rose gold accents, like our Copper Glass Chargers. Complementing the ultra-feminine and contemporary look are our always popular Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs. A touch of whimsy is lent via our Cybil Glassware!

Covered Patio for Socializing

In addition to the indoor area, a covered patio exists on the side of the barn, overlooking adjacent land. It’s a beautiful spot to watch the sunset, as well as host a cocktail hour! During the daytime, guests will be able to stay out of the heat and easily travel in and out of the indoor event space. Making it an ideal location for your event bar, cocktail tables and lounge areas.

Here you can also feature our curated lounge packages, with options for a variety of event styles. Or, create a small food and beverage area, using our Loren Gold Bistro Table or Harpeth Bar. Moreso, create an interactive backdrop where guests can create a keepsake, using our trendy Boxwood Hedge Walls.
