Catering large and small-scale events alike requires the proper equipment and proper planning. Maybe you’re catering a wedding, high school graduation, or a baby shower. You could be catering for a sit-down meal or a buffet. The purpose of the combined tasks of catering is to allow the host to relax and the guests to have a memorable time. Southern Events has plenty of catering equipment available for rent to help these tasks run smoothly for your Nashville, Franklin or Middle Tennessee event. From catering outdoor events to food prep the moment before the event begins, we have all the items needed.
Outside Events
If you’re looking for catering equipment for an outside event, there are so many things to consider. Inclement weather – will it rain, be super hot, super sunny? Bugs – how can you protect the food you’ve worked so hard to create from getting ruined by flies and the like? Location – will it be in the middle of a field? How will you get the food and equipment to the location? Southern Events has rentals to solve all of these problems. Pop-Up Tents to protect from sun and rain, Plate Covers to protect the food, Trash Cans for waste, Banquet Tables with Risers for prep and Coolers to keep food.
Food Safety and Prep
When catering, you want the food to taste just as good when the guests eat it as it did the second it was finished cooking or baking. You also want to keep in mind food-safety concerns. How long can your meal sit out at room temperature? We have rentals such as Chafing Dishes, Tray Stands, Hot Boxes and Banquet Tables with Risers to help you pull all of this off! When it comes to catering, much of the time you’re prepping food up until the very end! We have rentals for the prep process as well.
If you’re catering for an upcoming wedding or event, we’d love to help you! Email our team to book your personal showroom tour at info@southerneventsonline.com to get started!

A waterfall. 138 acres of a reclaimed rock quarry. Forest and meadow. Streams and ponds. Limestone cliff walls. We aren’t talking about some magical land in a Disney movie. We are talking about a real-life wedding venue in Nashville–Graystone Quarry.
Graystone Quarry, located in Nashville, TN, is a sought-after venue for weddings and events. Full of natural beauty and resonating with history and culture, this Nashville venue has limitless options for a sure-to-be-talked-about wedding or event. As the exclusive rental company for Graystone Quarry, Southern Events Party Rental Company has had the honor of working with their team to create a multitude of event design and looks for weddings and events at this venue. From moody & elegant to timeless & classic, the property’s stone backdrops and upscale buildings work with any event style.
Wedding Ceremony Space
Graystone Quarry’s signature glass doors inside of the Hillside Pavilion have been the quiet and reverent observers of vows exchanged. Couples can choose between opening all three glass doors or leaving them closed. Guests are treated to gorgeous views from every angle. The benches found here stay with the venue.
After the wedding ceremony, guests are taken to the wedding reception area–the Gathering Hall, where they find a fireplace, a double staircase, and glass doors opening to a courtyard (complete with a pond and a 20-foot waterfall). The Gathering Hall boasts plenty of seating, a sweetheart table directly near the fireplace, and dramatic backdrops at every turn.
With all their events, one thing remains the same, and that is that each event is equally memorable, meaningful, and magical. To top it off, you will be sure to find Southern hospitality at each and every turn. If you’re seeking a wedding or event venue that is equally unique and breathtaking, charming and memorable, historic and gracious–Graystone Quarry fits the bill.
If you’re hosting a large event in the Franklin, Nashville, or Middle Tennessee areas the teams at Southern Events Online and Graystone Quarry can bring your desired event to life. Want to learn more? Contact info@southerneventsonline.com to chat today!

Found Objects
This event trend mixes comfort with eclectic styling. Think the one-off items and unique find from travel, flea markets and estate sales that natural seem to fit together. Nothing mass produced, items include curated collections of antique furniture, accessories, textiles, industrial objects, architectural fragments.
There’s nothing more luxe than a black-tie event and that formal luxury is coming to your tablescapes, too. The key to designing with a single color instead of a color palette is to select varying materials and textures to keep things three-dimensional. See more on how to pull together this 2019 event trend here.
Pantone set the stage for this warming color trend, choosing Living Coral as their 2019 Pantone Color of the Year. After a solid run of navy and gray, we expect to see red, beige, tan, brown & orange showing up more in event rentals and decor. Add crimson pillows to Lounge Package #23 for a perfect fit to this trend.
Clean lines, curves, and unique materials are some of the defining factors for Mid-Century Modern Inspired event design. From velvet sofas and linens to chic side tables, we have distinct rentals that will transport your guests to a Mad Men time.

Gold Variations
Get ready for All. The. Gold. Gold accents have been a solid trend for years but we’ll see more variations on the color gold – brass gold, dirty gold, rose gold, copper gold, apricot gold. Get creative by mixing these gold colors with each other and other metallics – the more sparkle on wedding day the better! We also love matching these gold variations with jewel tones, like our Magnolia Velvet Linen or our Rory & Farrah mid-century inspired chairs.
Pantone set the stage for this warming color trend, choosing Living Coral as their 2019 Pantone Color of the Year and we expect browns, beiges, reds, burgundy and oranges to pop up in summer and fall weddings. Consider accenting with gold variations creating a rich and luxe look for your wedding decor.
Whether you’re planning a doughnut wall or displaying escort cards, think vertical! Your venue’s walls will now serve double duty as food, signature drinks, photos and escort cards will provide both function and vertical decor. We love how our Boxwood Walls were used recently at a Sycamore Farms Wedding – full recap coming soon to the blog!
This wedding trend mixes comfort with eclectic styling. Think the one-off items and unique that represent you as a couple – the places you have travels, your ethnic heritage and personal boho style. Nothing mass produced, items include curated collections of antique furniture, accessories, textiles, industrial objects, architectural fragments creating a wedding style as unique as you and your fiance.

We were honored to work with St. Jude’s Farm, Fork & Cork, where our distinct rentals elevated the fundraising efforts of an important cause. Six of Nashville’s best chefs created a meal for over 300 guests at the private Franklin, TN farm of Michael W. Smith. Generous donors were treated to an upscale event with a thoughtful design, featuring natural elements. The contributions from this charity event helped to ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
Our fundraiser event rentals played up the farm-to-table culinary experience accented by our Harlin Dining Chairs, round guest tables and long Fruitwood Farm Tables, featuring fresh produce & candlelight centerpieces. Classic Madison glassware was set on the tables alongside our popular gold Austin flatware, adding gold detail to each place setting. Attendees dined on our Earthen China Collection, with an Onyx Dinner Plate and Alabaster Salad Plate. Our distinct rentals were a beautiful addition to a great cause – donors were grateful for a beautiful evening out supporting a massively important cause!
