We love our “friendors” here at Southern Event Party Rental Company – we’ve been so lucky to collaborate with some of the best wedding and event vendors in Nashville. One of our favorite Nashville catering companies to partner with is Dream Events & Catering.

As a full-service event company, Dream Events & Catering provides everything from sensational cuisine and entertainment to seamless planning and design for gatherings of two – 10,000. Primarily serving Nashville and surrounding Middle Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky areas, they focus on fresh, local flavors, trends and ingredients as they craft menus and managing all the event details for their clients. We love that they are also invested in the local community, regularly giving back through their various #DreamGiving campaigns.

The Dream Team brings tons of creative menus ideas to every event they produce – many that are as healthy as they are delicious. We love this innovative and flavorful grilled vegan cauliflower entree– pictured here on our favorite Black and White Tribeca Triangle Plates and Brushed Copper Flatware!

Their gourmet cuisine is always perfectly plated on our event rentals. Morning meetings are expertly planned with fresh (and colorful) juices, and winter gatherings always end with a tasty signature treat.

Their wedding & event specialists will assist you with the design, logistics and vendor coordination of your event.

They also know how to impress with Southern favorites like charred Brussels Sprouts (show in our Pewter Bowl below) or their famous smoked gouda mac & cheese.

We love when a new space opens its doors here in Franklin, TN, but when new spaces are as beautifully designed as The Lodge our hearts do a little dance! The Lodge in Franklin, TN is a co-working space beautifully designed with high ceilings, modern amenities, and rustic style. With private rooms and an industrial style event space, it’s a great location for companies to host gatherings, summits, retreats, or simply get-out-of-the-office meetings.

For company cocktail hours, summits, or retreats The Lodge‘s large event space boasts rustic finishes and large glass garage doors to let in lots of natural light. Adjacent to the co-working space (with smaller private meeting rooms, kitchen and shared co-working room) this space offers a blank canvas for a variety of set-ups including lounges with nearby bar and cocktail tables or styled dining table for guests to gather.

Meetings at The Lodge will benefit from large windows in various private rooms, making sure that attendees feel the refreshing energy of the sunlight while still having everything they need to get work done. We added a collection of our vintage chairs to the farmhouse table, plus our unique Sunny Rolling Cart to give this meeting space an inspiring pop of color. Built-in whiteboards and high-speed wifi are standard – just add your co-workers and your next big idea!

Adding a lounge area to your next meeting or company gala is no longer just a fun design element to include – it’s now an anticipated staple for any modern event. The perfect place for your guests to mingle and relax, lounge areas bring people together and adds personality and intimacy to a large event space. Whether your guests are enjoying cocktails or conversation, they can more easily do so in comfort and style with lounge furniture.

Excited about the design addition, but lost when it comes to styling your own? We’ve made it effortless to add a lounge area to your next event with our Southern Lounge Packages. Whatever event is next on the docket – meeting, galas, wedding or cocktail parties – we’ve curated our most loved styles for your event lounge!

Formal Corporate Events or Galas

Our Lounge Package One combines clean lines, tufted accents and chic chrome for a buttoned up, black-tie event. With simple and neutral details like this, this package can be easily customized with pillows or florals to match your overal decor. Perfect for your next charity gala or formal corporate party.

Or take black-tie to the next level with a black and white statement bench and silhouetted tables. Black and white chic gets a little more stylish with Lounge Package 20 – we especially love how elegant the Cece side table looks paired with the Chippendale chair.

Our Mercer L-Shaped benches are ideal for large corporate gatherings that need to provide comfortable, informal seating for guests in between panels, or trainings. More than that, these benches allow your colleagues to sit on either side which makes it easy to put in the middle of the venue since you know that sight lines will remain uninterrupted.

Pair them with our Mercer Ottoman and Cylinder or Mykonos Coffee Table for a simple and chic lounge area.

Our lovely selection of lace runners can add just the right touch of vintage elegance to your table scape. We have a variety of styles and colors to choose from, and they can be styled in several ways to suit your occasion.

Earthy and elegant, Marsala is the well-chosen Pantone Color for 2015 and we’re super inspired to incorporate it into this year’s event designs!

We’re already seeing it on runways, clothing racks and home furniture, but what about down the aisle or adorning reception tables? We have high hopes for this wine-inspired reddish tone! Marsala has many merits: it’s universally flattering for all skin tones and genders; it plays well with others, from pastels to jewel tones; and it can go casual or opulent, whether you choose a matte or sheen finish.

Your chosen details don’t have to be Pantone-perfect; a Marsala-inspired deep earthy red is always an elegant choice for your next event. We’ve illustrated two event designs inspired by Marsala using our inventory to inspire you today! Enjoy!
