Decorative Rentals
If you can reimagine the colors and look of the surrounding walls, Pipe and Drape are a great addition to your event space. Pipe and Drape essentially fabricates the walls of the indoor venue to cover any imperfections, but in general Pipe and Drape gives the venue walls a beautiful and cohesive finish.
Flooring and Staging are not a necessity, but they do make a great addition to indoor spaces. Creating an intentional dancefloor or having a platform for entertainment will be the cherry on top of a great event.
Guest Accommodations
Our rentals aren’t all about décor and creating the essence of a space, but also the establishing functionality of the location. We carry many event rentals from Air Conditioners to Catering Rentals and everything in between.

For a warm space, Edison Light Bulbs will emit a cozy country feel. Trying to create an elegant space? Consider one of our Diamond Chandeliers for lighting.

Spring has sprung and Grimes Events & Party Tents is excited to get to work this season! Spring is one of the best times to have an outdoor event and we have all your rental needs! We have tent rentals and everything underneath them for the perfect outdoor event.
Tents
Grimes Events & Party Tents offers various tent sizes for any function. Tents are a great option for outdoor events as they are a shelter that can be placed anywhere and filled with any type of décor! Options are truly endless when creating an event under a party tent!
Moving into spring, we love to see our Clear-Top Frame Tents in action. The clear-top tent is perfect for any outdoor event you may be hosting. This tent style allows all the sunlight into your event and removes the need for artificial lighting!
High-Peak Festival Tents are also popular in the spring as their height adds a level of space that captivates the guests and is perfect for outdoor events. The space of the tent leaves room for sunlight to fill the tent, while also creating a grand space for a large outdoor event.
Having an outdoor event doesn’t mean being limited to a single space. Pipe and Drape can be added to any party tent to create sections or rooms that can add an element of exploration and dimension to your space.
Outdoor seating
Chairs are not all created equal when it comes to outdoor events. Depending on the density of the soil, some chair rentals hold up better compared to others. Grimes Events & Party Tents offers a variety of chairs that function perfectly on soil, grass, and cement.
Our Samsonite Chair is the classic durable folding chair. This seat comes in black and white to match any décor your event has.
The Chiavari Chair is a crowd favorite. This chair is strong and beautifully decorated, coming in white, black, clear, and gold. This is a more upscale step up from the classic Samsonite chair and is perfect for weddings or any sophisticated functions.
Lounge furniture is something that can change the essence of the event. Lounge furniture is usually more comfortable and comes in modern styles that catch the guest’s eyes. Transform your space into a comfy bohemian relaxation area in the day, or a space that emits a upscale, nightlife experience in the evening. Products like our Hi- Tops tables, Lounge Ottomans, and LED Cubes, make up some of the aspects to a functional outdoor lounge area outdoors.
Luxury Restroom Trailers
When it comes to hosting an outdoor event the restroom for guests can often be overlooked. This can be a tricky situation when you are not at an indoor venue that has a facility included. Grimes has this covered for you with our variety of luxury restroom trailers! Depending on the size of your event, we offer 9 stall, 5 stall, 3 stall, and single stall trailers for guests to use the restroom in comfortable and clean quarters.
Stage and Flooring
While a stage and flooring aren’t a necessity for an amazing and functional outdoor event, it is a great option to incorporate in the layout of a tent space.
A stage can act as a focal point of an event as it’s the most elevated level of the space. Here, you can add an extravagant design element, a DJ, or other source of entertainment. If your event entertainment or a host, a stage will level up the experience.
Flooring is also a great addition to an outdoor event. This not only offers a stable and smooth ground for guests to comfortably walk, it also doubles as a dance floor. This communicates to guests that dancing is encouraged!
Catering Rentals

Just like magic, an event seems to come together in the eyes of a guest, but the true magicians are the various vendors who piece them together to create an enchanting ambiance. It truly takes a village to bring someone’s vision to life. Consider the following vendors for your next celebration to take your function to the next level.
Event Planner
If you want someone to organize your event, hiring an event planner is a great option. Event planners have experience in all aspects of creating a cohesive event, starting with the planning that goes into it. They are also a great source of connections. Your event planner will already have contacts for credible vendors to utilize.
Catering
A catering vendor ensures a quality hassle-free food service experience for everyone. Not only is the vendor qualified in gourmet cooking for large groups of people, but it elevates the event’s atmosphere. Often, caterers will create a menu based on food preferences or on the theme of the event. They provide an entire service that includes cooking, plating, serving, and more. Caterers will discreetly hover during the event to ensure all food handling needs are met.
Entertainment
A must-have at any function is entertainment. Entertainment can come in many forms. The best events have an established plan for entertainment for the duration of the event. This can be a speaker, a show, a dance, or even party games. The most important form of entertainment is a great DJ. Yes, the DJ brings the party to life with music but also works as a guide or host during the event.
Event Rentals
An event would not be a functional space without party rentals. Vendors like Grimes Events & Party Tents are essential in creating a space that is efficient for guests to sit, dance, eat, relax, and overall enjoy the celebration. Party rentals can include party tents, tables, chairs, lighting, flooring, staging, portable restrooms, décor, and much more. Guests need tables and chairs to be seated, a DJ might need a stage to set up on, and dancing can be made intentional with a specialized dance floor. Event rentals create the foundation of the event in its entirety and everything else comes secondary to building out the space.
Décor
Now that the bones of the event are built out, vendors that specialize in décor are needed to transform the look and feel of the space. The décor team is responsible for bringing the event holders’ vision to life. They will establish colors, themes, lighting, florals, decorations, and any personal touches. The décor will be one of the first aspects to stand out at any event. Décor can be created by one vendor or a group of them where each vendor specializes in a niche area of decorating. For example, your event planner could handle linens and balloons while a florist would focus on creating flower arrangements to dress the space.
Photographers
Did the event even happen if there are no photos? Having a photographer or videographer is especially important at any event. These functions take great efforts to create so capturing these memories to look back on is essential. It also helps the many vendors who participated, highlight their products and services.
If you are looking to create a well-rounded function, big or small, having a variation of these vendors is essential to getting the most out of your celebration. Investing in a caterer, party rentals, entertainment, event decorator, and a photographer will yield the best experience for everyone in attendance.
As a host, you can relax knowing all your event needs are met and your guests are accounted for. Get a head start on planning your next spring event! For any party rentals or event needs, contact Grimes Events & Party Tents today!
Looking back, 2020 seemed like the perfect year for everyone. The country anticipated a year of clarity and being able to enjoy the outdoors again. This is especially true for the many couples who decided to solidify their love through marriage. Unfortunately, the universe had other plans for 2020. The whole world was hit with a pandemic that would become a global focus for the next two years. As we enter 2022, we are left with the residue of the goals and many weddings that have yet to be fulfilled in past years.
Wedding Push Back
According to the Statista Research Department, an estimated 82% of weddings were postponed in the year 2020 and 11 % were completely canceled. Now as the world works to get back to some normalcy, millions of couples are trying to finish what they started in 2020. The surge of backed-up weddings has led to a global wedding boom.
The overwhelming number of weddings have vendors and event planners booking through 2024 and on. A wedding is such an important event and as planners know, needs to be executed perfectly. A perfect wedding can take months to a year to plan and changes to a timeline can affect the planning process.
Global Supply Chain Strains
Since the pandemic started, supply chains have been stunted, having effects on the wedding industry. This directly affects the ability of wedding planners to produce. For wedding planners to target the requests of a wedding, they must be able to connect with various suppliers. Suppliers slowed down production for several reasons in the last few years. As the virus strengthened more and more laborers were out of work. Most people could not return until vaccinated, perpetuating more suppliers going without workers to produce materials. Shipping routes were also affected when trying to confine the virus. International governments, including our own, were cautious about traveling to other countries to stop the spread.
With a slowing supply chain and a boom of weddings to prepare it’s important for event planners to be one step ahead of this. Simplify where you can and plan as far out in advance as you can. Communicate clearly with your wedding clients. Ensure clients are aware of the obstacles that could come up due to the relationship between the pandemic and planning a wedding. Explain that they must be open to pivot and adjust as you walk through the planning process to create the experience of their dreams.
Covid -19
Although vendors are moving slower, they are still moving and there is a high chance you will have all that you need to create a beautiful wedding. To ensure you have a hassle-free event it’s important to connect with vendors and event planners that can provide you with safe options that align with the Covid-19 climate of today. Work with vendors who can offer social distancing solutions. Grimes Events & Party Tents has been ahead of the Covid guidelines since the beginning of the pandemic and continues to create beautiful, functional, and safe, events with their various rentals. Some of these rentals include isolation dividers, pipe and drape, stanchions, tents, hand sanitizer stations, and individual restroom trailers to name a few.
Many wedding planners have had to re-determine wedding plans around the precautions that are being taken per state. For example, couples that originally spent to accommodate 100 guests will have to settle for 50 guests because of crowding and the risk that could have. Not only are couples having to downsize their event but may have to consider getting a venue with outdoor space for airflow through the area. Masks are also still in effect leaving guests urged to wear a face covering. All these above precautions are dependent on the state but can be worked around with various social distances solutions.
The show must go on!
Some of this information can be daunting to young couples and event planners, but I can assure you the wedding of your dreams is still very much possible. With the right event planner and vendors like Grimes Events & Party Tents, who remain within the Covid -19 guidelines for all events, Covid -19 and pressures of the Wedding Boom will not stop you from creating a wedding to remember! If you are planning to marry this year, consider the above obstacles and come up with ways you and your wedding planner can work around them.
Grimes Events and Party Tents have been serving the community for years, providing event rentals to create functional designs for clients. With the many events we have serviced, there is a certain level of purpose behind all of them. Big or small, the purpose is present at every event. Even though there is an intention behind every event, the nature behind the intent is what makes the event truly purposeful or not. With the many things going on in the world, we are offered many opportunities as event professionals to make changes with the events we create.
Purposeful events
When planning an event with purpose you or the planner is thinking about it from a non-commercial mindset. The value of this event has a bigger effect than anything we can physically see or gain capital on. An event can be private, corporate, or charitable, all can be done purposely if intended. If the event creates change or brings awareness to a challenging area it successfully served a purpose that ultimately serves the community’s greatest good.
How can I make my event purposeful?
There are a few things that can qualify your event as one that embodies purpose. The more important strategy behind creating a purposeful event is the intent behind the function. Why are you having this event? How is it going to have a long-term positive effect on others? These answers can be very simple or more complex but regardless, the pure intention behind the answers ensures the event is yielding a level of purpose. If you want to give back through your event there are so many ways to do this. Some examples are having a reputable speaker, inviting members of your community who sit in high places, as their presence is a resource to uplift the purpose. Lastly, using admission to give proceeds to an establishment in need.
What makes a purposeful event special?
Having a purposeful event also offers some hidden perks besides being overall beneficial to a cause. One of the biggest highlights of a purposeful event is the transformation it brings. If you promote a purpose at your event, you are also creating a space for the public to engage with the topic or purpose. This engagement works as a catalyst to educate and inform your guest about a purpose you find important. Another thing that makes an event with purpose stand out is the feedback you’ll get after the event. Feedback gives your event exposure that continues far after the event is over. This feedback can also manifest itself as new followers, subscribers, sign-ups, or donations. Overall, this is giving your purpose the support it deserves.
Examples of a purposeful event
When we think of purposeful events, we automatically think of a charitable type of event. Food drives, raising funds for cancer research, helping the homeless, etc. All these events are clearly doing something to give back to a moral cause. Although this is a direct way to create a purposeful event, there are other subtle ways to incorporate purpose in any event.
For example, a wedding. Depending on your theme and time of year for a wedding, the host can incorporate purpose through their personalization. Incorporating information on an important cause in the wedding favor, asking guests to donate to a cause rather than gifts, or ensuring all materials and vendors you’re working with have an ethical and sustainable background, are just some of the ways to bring a deeper purpose to a wedding day.
Here at Grimes Events & Party Tents, we believe in incorporating purpose into everything we do. When we provide essential and well-equipped tent and party rentals, the purpose does not stop there. We are more than creating exceptional event designs. We pride ourselves on being woman-owned and operated. We support women’s rights, encourage power in all women, and support our community. We put this essence in every event we service. Contact Grimes Event & Party Tents to create a beautiful event with a purpose.
