The holiday season is all about gathering around the table with friends and family, creating memories that last long after the last bite of dessert.

From luxurious tablecloths to beautiful glassware, our boxes have everything you need to create a table as memorable as the moments you’ll share around it.

This elegant set features green floral Liana china that brings a touch of nature to your table, complemented by gold flatware that adds just the right amount of sparkle.

Paired with a green tablecloth that perfectly matches the floral china, the Gilded Sage box captures a sense of timeless elegance with a bit of holiday magic. Imagine your table dressed in these soft greens and rich golds—it’s like bringing the beauty of an autumn forest indoors for a warm and welcoming Thanksgiving gathering!

Blossoming Four Seasons

With the summer season waning and the coming cooler fall temperatures, we’ve been especially inspired by all things outdoors. If you’re in Nashville (or anywhere in the United States), take one step outside around dinner time and you’ll know why. It’s outdoor cookout party season! From neighborhood block parties to back-to-school parties and corporate get-togethers and team tailgates, most events migrate outdoors to make use of the sunshine and blue skies.

Outdoor Inspired Dining

Most people love the easy-natured feel of an outdoor cookout party. Simple and comfortable textures, rustic accessories, and bright colors marry to create a fresh and fun vibe. Use our Red and White Check Linens to emphasize the nostalgic feel and bring a fun, picnic theme to the look. Of course, the best part of an outdoor cookout is the food – hot off the grill! Display food atop our White Wash Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar for a rustic chic look. Refreshing seasonal beverages and large batch cocktails (or mocktails) can be served from our Classic Glass Beverage Jars.

If there will be kids in tow, we recommend giving them their own little dining area! Here you can also have kid-specific activities, like coloring books or bubbles. Keep it simple and on-theme when you feature our Fruitwood Children’s Farm Table and Cross-Back Children’s Chairs. For an extra tasty treat, grab our Vintage Popcorn Machine!

Stay for A While!

Outdoor cookouts are all about spending time with family and friends! The goal is to create a casual space where everyone can kick their feet up and hang out until the sun goes down. If you want your guests to stick around after the food (or make sure they’re comfy while waiting to dig in), we recommend a lounge area. Combine our Rustic Benches, Chocolate Pouf, Stone Round Fire Pit, and plenty of pillows and blankets for texture and to help make the party feel more inviting. Our Sutton Collection is also a beautiful option for large parties.

If you’re planning an outdoor cookout for back-to-school or as a casual corporate get-together, we’d love to help make it stylish & Southern. Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com and let us help you pick the perfect rentals for your event! Prefer a more chic look? Check out our blog for Chic Garden Party Ideas.

Many of us spend our days inside, hunched over a computer. Throwing outdoor parties makes for a welcome change of pace, especially when the weather is warm! Imagine an event spent under the night sky, with music in the air and a refreshing cocktail in hand. Yep, that sounds like a Nashville-themed outdoor party to us! If this has you feeling inspired, keep reading for a curated list of outdoor party rentals for your Music City gathering!

Indoor to Outdoor Spaces

Hosting a comfortable backyard party is all about knowing how to make the most of a space! Utilizing both indoor and outdoor areas will allow more room for guests to mingle. Consider setting up different social areas where guests can move to and from to interact with others. Outdoors, create a cozy space with our Sutton Lounge Collection and Navy Rug. On a patio or covered terrace, set up a handful of stylish bistro tables outfitted with any of our luxe linens linens – Kennedy looks great no matter the weather!

Delightful Drinks

A well-planned Nashville Themed outdoor party is likely to include refreshing cocktails. And in Nashville, you’ll most definitely find bourbon! Having the right outdoor bar set up that is both functional and stylish is vital for a successful outdoor party. For a sizeable crowd, feature any of our rustic-inspired bars. Such as our Antique White Franklin Bar or Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar! Of course, don’t forget to keep it stocked with elegant glassware, like our classic Monaco Rock Glasses.

Interactive Areas

Fire pits just burn with ambiance! Guests love to gather around our Stone Round Fire Pit to perch on Rustic Benches or Chocolate Poufs. Oh, and speaking of ambiance, our Assorted Oversized Lanterns look darling placed near lounging areas and tables. All the while providing extra lights to keep guests safe.

With virtual options becoming more normalized for corporate meetings & summits – but attendees still wanting in-person experiences, we expect to see more and more hybrid meeting options.  Hybrid corporate summits bring together attendees both in person as well as virtual, making for unique opportunities and challenges when setting the stage and choosing your rentals. After all, they’re still meant to inform and inspire – and impress! To help you host a memorable corporate event for our new normal, check out our essential event rentals that are as functional as they are stylish. Plus! Be sure to grab a copy of our Event Essentials Guide with tips and tricks.

Camera-Ready Stage Set-Ups

It’s important to create the right focal point for your event! A stage that is comfortable, stylish, and on-brand as well as virtually interesting is key.  From unique stage seating to out-of-the-box chairs, Southern Events Party Rental Company offers quite the selection to choose from. Our Bennett and Henley Sofas, Eiffel Chairs, Adeline Chairs, Rory Chairs, and Farrah Chairs offer stylish, unique, and comfortable seating for the speakers as they sit on the stage. Accent tables make for a cozy and complete look (as well as a perch for speaker notes or water). Be sure to also consider your stage backdrops – they help frame the space and create a uniform look for virtual users. We love our Boxwood Walls and Pipe & Drape for stage backdrops.

Stylish Lecterns

If you are hosting a more formal speaker or handing out awards, then you will need a lectern. Helpful for keeping your guests front and center, as well as amplifying their voice, they are a staple whether or not you have staging. It will also create a more overall organized event layout! In addition to providing a focal point for in-person guests, it will make live streaming easier for the camera crew as there is an obvious mark for people to speak from on stage. Our Acrylic Lectern is a unique contemporary (and customizable with a cling) choice, while Black Metal is a classic.

Upgrade Your Seating for In-Person Socializing

Want to uplevel your event seating? Make the space extra special for in-person attendees and opt for fun contemporary pieces, like our Acrylic Chairs. Available in a variety of styles, they make for a unique addition to any table. You’ll also want cozy lounge and bistro areas. Whether they are used for breakoff sessions or breaks between speakers where people can spread out. Check out our Mercer Collection (with built-in charging ports) or Pearce Furniture. Or opt for one or two of our curated lounge packages, complete with sofas, chairs, rugs, and accent tables.

Show Off Your Brand

Because corporate summits exist to instill pride and cast vision, weaving on-brand materials and signage throughout the event is typically a strong move in the right direction. You can do this through our customizable Harpeth Bar. As well as custom pillows or colorful clings placed on the back of seating. Or opt for a memorable, photo-worthy entryway, made using our elegant Boxwood Walls.

Rich hues of reds paired with classic Southern blues for this recent vineyard wedding inspired style shoot at Arrington Vineyards. Elegant and romantic in color and style, we were honored to be part of this!

For the vineyard wedding inspired ceremony, we used our Fruitwood Folding Chairs, which complimented the red roses and red anemones that were found throughout the design. We love how this look blends in seamlessly with the expansive winery backdrop while feeling both intimate and warm.

For the reception inspiration, we brought in our rustic Fruitwood Farm Table, modern Brushed Copper Flatware, and timeless White Square China. Floral designs bursting with red blooms topped off the gorgeous tablescape. And to round out the sophisticated vibe of this style shoot, our Cybil Glassware joined the party for a toast! Cheers!

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!

Farmhouse-inspired weddings and events are very of-the-moment, and for good reason! This trend is classic, fresh, and uber-relaxed. Perfect for a gathering of friends and family that is down to earth (literally) while being effortlessly stylish.

We partnered with the Gifford Collective at Meadow Hill Farms, where we used some of our favorite neutral rentals to bring this Southern Farmhouse look to life. The tablescape features our Sophia Flatware, Artisan Dinner Plates and Artisan Dessert Plates, Madison Glasses, and Havana Ecru Napkins.  Fresh bread wrapped in butcher paper serves as place cards (love!), while cream, greenery & silver accents atop a Farm Table, paired with our Cross-Back Chairs, created an elegant and approachable Southern Farmhouse table.  The ivory and handpainted wedding cake sits on our Fruitwood Round Cake Plateau as a tempting finish to the delicious meal one can imagine enjoying here.

The Southern Farmhouse style has been growing in popularity and is still going strong as a trend for 2019! We are excited to help create this beautiful scene for couples this upcoming year. Thank you Cassidy Carson Photography, for the beautiful images.
