Special Event Rental in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Waukesha, and Chicago
Nearly 50% of event planners begin even preparation six to twelve months in advance. Thinking ahead for any kind of special event, especially when hosted outdoors. Read this guide for top things to help you get ready for your next outdoor event.
1. Tables and Chairs
What's the biggest thing guests need for outdoor events? Whatever event you throw, people need somewhere to sit down. Tables and chairs are essential.
Maybe you only need seating, and that's okay, too. But have you ever been to an event without any chairs? Even wearing comfortable shoes, everyone gets tired of standing.
And if you're hosting formal or corporate events, chairs and tables are necessities. Imagine a charity dinner without seating!
2. Tents
Your outdoor special event may need tents, too. No matter rain or shine, event tents have you covered (literally). These are a must-have for a few reasons.
If there's rain on the horizon, keep your guests and seating dry. If sunshine is a main concern, provide your guests with comfortable shade under tents. Either way, your guests will be grateful you planned ahead.
3. Concessions and Catering
Every special event doesn't necessarily need food, but every event does need drinks. Whether you're only providing water and basic beverages (or a full bar), you need concessions. Of course, some events do require catering, too.
Make sure your guests are fed and watered with concession and catering gear. Tables and chairs go hand in hand with food and drink. Anything from drink fountains to heating elements takes outdoor events up in quality.
4. Lighting
Whether it's string lights, firepits, or tiki torches, you need lighting outdoors. Your favorite events rental service might offer lighting, or you may have to prior to the event purchase some from local stores.
You can find string lighting and tiki torches at most general and grocery stores. A fire pit is more of an investment (but certainly a worthwhile one if you plan to host more outdoor events.)
5 . Music
Every special event need entertainment. Maybe you have a live band and you simply need A/V equipment. Or you need a whole DJ booth (and a DJ to go with it).
Any event isn't complete, no matter the reason. You need entertainment and music makes a great source of ambience. Of course, what's a good night listening to music without a lounge furniture rental?
Make sure guests have a comfortable place to recline with lounge seating. If your event centers around music, you can't leave out comfortable places to sit. Your guests will enjoy the music even more when they're comfortable. Check is you may need a special event permit at least 30 days prior.
