Must-Have: Outdoor Party Rentals for Cooler Seasons

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

outdoor party rentals in the winter

The autumn and winter seasons in Middle Tennessee are favorites of ours! As the weather becomes cooler in the South, intimate, outdoor gatherings to celebrate the season are a must. Collect inspiration for your outdoor fall events in Nashville, Tennessee with our functional and stylish outdoor party rentals.

Coffee & Hot Cider Urns

Here’s to chilly outdoor gatherings made even cozier with the perfect warm brew in hand! We have everything you need to serve coffee, hot cider, or another seasonal beverage, plus keep it hot for the entire evening. Make-your-own hot chocolate stations are always a hit! Take a look at our modern 100-Cup Coffee Percolator and Hammered Coffee Urns, and don’t forget to grab some stylish coffee mugs, available in both glass and china.

Rectangular Fire Pits

A fire pit can be used to create a social area, as well as a space for guests to warm up. Our Rectangular Fire Pit is also the perfect place to toast some s’mores, or create an interactive s’mores bar! Be sure to grab our Regent Black Velvet Sofa, our Chocolate Poufs, or other outdoor seating of your choice, to create a comfy seating area.

Tents

Unpredictable weather is just a part of the season! Rain can pop up unexpectedly, making it all the more important that you have a tent on hand and in place. Our current tent packages were created with your needs in mind, and include enough furniture for any size party.

Portable Heaters

Planning to host a late-night event? Temperatures will drop, and we want you to be fully prepared. Our Blowing-Style Heater is a must-have, whether or not you set it up from the get-go. It will help your guests stay warm and prevent the party from ending early!

Lounge Furniture

Our Sutton Lounge Package in the Mediterranean shade is super cozy, in addition to being a lovely pop of color for an autumnal event. We love this piece for a casual social hour, or for a backyard movie night. If you plan on serving food or drinks, be sure to rent the matching ottomans as well.

Alternatively, velvet lounges like the Henley Sofa bring a touch of warmth and luxury to any outdoor cold-weather event, creating an inviting atmosphere for guests to settle in and relax. The soft fabric not only looks elegant but also adds a layer of comfort that’s perfect for chilly evenings. Add a rug, side tables, throw pillows, and a few comfy blankets!

Are you ready to plan a cool-weather event? Contact our team today to secure your outdoor party rentals, or for more design inspiration! You can also get more backyard party ideas on our previous blog.

Child-Friendly Furniture

For the pint-size guests that will be in attendance, child-size furniture will go a long way to make them feel included. Our charming Children’s Fruitwood Farm Table and Cross-back Chairs are one option – made of the same high-quality materials as our regular-size furniture. They are perfect for setting up game or coloring stations, as well as making meal times easier! We even stock high chairs, if you want to give the parents a little break to enjoy their meal.

Simple Place Settings

You don’t have to go all out to make a big statement! Skip the paper plates and go with solid-colored china instead. In addition to a White Round and Square China, we have beautiful Earthen China A bold black or Onyx will lend a chic modern look atop a red checked pattern, while bright Alabaster atop solid blue tablecloths is a classic. For a fun pop of color, add a vibrant napkin to the stack. Finally, choose from our wide selection of glassware, including a whimsical Meridian Blue Beverage Tumbler!
