At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have tent rentals for every occasion! From small, backyard get-togethers to large, corporate events and everything in between, we offer a wide variety of party rentals to best suit a wide variety of needs. Grimes Events & Party Tents is here to help your dream event come to life!
Types of Tents
Frame Tents come in a variety of sizes, making them our most versatile and therefore most popular tent rental option. These tents can be installed on decks, close to buildings, and any relatively level surface. Our frame tents are available with either a white or clear top. This type of tent is best used for events that have seating plans or a lot of guest movement is anticipated.
Pole Tents are excellent for weddings, festivals, company events, and more. These elegant tents, sometimes referred to as circus tents, have central support pole(s) down the center to create a clean, swooping look for the canopy. Pole tents offer a traditional look that is both cost-efficient and flexible.
High Peak Tents have a similar look as the pole tents but are better for smaller events. Built with a solid aluminum frame and covered with PVC-coated fabric, these tents are both beautiful and functional. They are available in either 10 x 10 ft or 15 x 15 ft and can either be used singly or placed side by side to create an aesthetically pleasing village grouping.
Structural Tents are heavy-duty frame tents, generally used for large events or long-term installations such as additional restaurant seating, construction projects, or repeat events. One benefit to these tents is the high ceilings that offer some extra height and space.
Things to Consider
Location, location, location. Tents can be installed using different methods. Therefore, where you plan on placing the tent is a large contributing factor when choosing which tent is right for you. Will the tent be placed on grass, concrete, asphalt, sand, or a deck? Is the ground relatively level? Will it need to be close to other structures, such as a building? The tent space will need to be free of obstacles, including fences, swing sets, underground power lines, sprinkler systems, etc. Make sure to take all these factors into account when choosing your tent!
The size of your tent depends on how many guests you are planning to have at your event. We suggest following the general guidelines of:
Cathedral seating – minimum 8 sq ft per guest, plus aisles
Standing event – minimum 10 sq ft per guest
Seated dining – depends on the table size and layout
The number of guests is just one of the many things to consider when choosing the size of your tent rental. Other considerations should include whether you will be having a buffet, bar, dancefloor, sign-in table, DJ table, etc.
Complete your tent by renting any number of tent accessories, some being practical and others being fashionable. Depending on the type of event and the venue, you may want to consider renting flooring, side curtains, doors, or cooling products. Top it all off by renting décor for your tent such as pipe and drape or lighting!
The summer months offer beautiful weather that makes any outdoor event a huge hit. Make sure your summer party is set up for success by renting the right equipment!
Tents
There’s one thing we know for sure about Florida – it brings the heat! Between the intense sunshine and afternoon rain showers, every outdoor summer party should be prepared with a tent rental! Alone, tents offer shade and keep your guests dry in case of rain. However, when paired with tent accessories, such as side curtains, tents can transform an outdoor space into the perfect place to spend a summer day in Florida. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have a wide variety of tents including frame tents, pole tents, high peak tents, structural tents, and pop-up tents!
Lounge Furniture
Summer is all about kicking back and relaxing! Lounge furniture is the perfect way to ensure your guests have somewhere comfortable to sit, chat, and sip on their drinks. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we have two types of lounge furniture available for rental. Our tufted lounge furniture allows you to mix and match corner pieces, center pieces, and ottomans to create the perfect layout. The Sobe lounge chair and sofa are great alternatives that offer a more modern look.
Air Conditioning
Making sure your guests are comfortable should be one of your top priorities when planning an event. Beat the heat this summer by renting cooling products along with your tent! Ceiling fans can be attached to the roof of your tent to save space and keep your event looking classy while also ensuring airflow throughout the space. We also offer Cool-A-Zone units for rental! These air conditioning units can lower the ambient temperature by 10 – 25 degrees. They are energy-efficient, easy to use, and do not require any special installation.
Restroom Trailers
Many summer events happen outdoors. Therefore, it’s important to consider the practical necessities like restrooms! If your event is being held outdoors, consider renting a luxury restroom trailer. Grimes Events & Party Tents is pleased to offer four variations of restroom trailers.
3 Stall Restroom Trailer: Private spaces, two women’s and one men’s, equipped with LED lighting, Bluetooth speakers, and individual sinks.
5 Stall Luxury Restroom Trailer: Two separate spaces, one with three women’s stalls, the other with two men’s stalls and two urinals.
9 Stall Restroom Trailer: Two separate spaces, one with five women’s stalls, the other with two men’s stalls and two urinals.
Each restroom trailer comes equipped with air conditioning and heating as needed, hot and cold running water, a self-leveling jack, and vinyl skirting.

There are many aspects of event planning that can be stressful. When looking at a blank table and seating chart, you may initially feel overwhelmed – but don’t fret! Grimes Events & Tents is here to help with all the information you need to properly plan your table and seating arrangement.
Popular Types of Tables
At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we offer a variety of tables to rent for your special occasion. When planning table rentals for your event, make sure to consider how much space you will have, how many people will be attending, and the aesthetic you want to achieve.
Round tables are generally able to seat more people meaning you won’t need to rent as many tables. Overall, this can cut down on costs. The most popular table rental is the 60” round table which seats 8-10 people.
When creating a table and seating arrangement for an event, keeping certain things in mind will ensure your guests are comfortable and have a great time!
Assign people to tables, but not to specific seats.
Consider the individuals you are placing together. Do they know each other? If not, try to place people together that are of similar ages or have similar interests.
Consider those who may need specific access. For example, those with mobility aids should be placed with easy access to their seats and the exits. Elderly guests and children should be seated away from loud speakers.
Provide a clear seating chart or place cards so that guests don’t get confused about where they should sit.
Inspiration
Are you looking for a way to add the “wow” factor to your event? There are plenty of creative ideas you can try to surprise your guests! Use a mix of round and rectangular tables, a mix of differently sized tables, or use oddly shaped tables, like our serpentine table, to create an eye-catching display. You can also arrange your tables in any number of ways such as a U, a V, a W, a plus, an X, or an O. When arranging your tables, just remember to keep the venue and event’s intention in mind so that the tables do not interfere or cause unnecessary difficulty for your guests. Lastly, if the venue allows for it, try spreading the tables and seating across several areas. For example, you can place some in the courtyard, the gardens, or under a tent.
Summer’s here, so let’s party! No matter the occasion, there are plenty of ways to host a fun and unique party for your guests!
Backyard Movie
Hosting a movie night in the backyard is the perfect way to get together with friends and family this summer! With a projector, a projector screen, and some creativity, you can turn any backyard movie night into a true event. Make sure your guests are comfortable by spreading blankets on the grass and providing plenty of pillows. Consider setting up some chairs or lounge furniture for any guests that may not want to sit on the ground. LED accessories can light up the space while simultaneously creating a fun, colorful scene. To top it off, rent a popcorn machine to provide your guests with a delicious snack!
Luxurious Picnic
One of the most popular trends we are seeing make its way to the surface in 2021 is luxurious picnics. A nostalgic experience, outdoor picnics offer a sense of reminiscence. However, unlike in the past, picnics have become more than just a blanket on the grass and a basket with sandwiches inside. Luxury picnics are being adorned with fashionable linens, tableware, and decor. Create an ambiance by lighting up the space with string lights in any number of creative ways.
Games
Backyard games can be fun for people of all ages! Some of the classic backyard games you can play include cornhole, bocce ball, horseshoes, and croquet. Other games to consider are giant Jenga, ring toss, capture the flag, and limbo. Don’t forget that some guests may prefer simpler games. If this is the case, rent a tent, set up some tables and chairs, and provide board or card games such as Scrabble, Monopoly, Yahtzee, and checkers.

Stages can be used for more than just music and dance floors can be used for more than just dancing. There are plenty of reasons why you should consider renting a stage or dance floor for your next event! They are versatile additions to any type of event, providing both fashion and functionality.
Stage Rentals
One of the main benefits of renting a stage is that it will help bring your guests’ attention to the focal point of the event. If you are hosting a live entertainment event, placing the entertainment on top of an elevated stage will help differentiate them from the crowd. If you are hosting an awards ceremony, honorees can be easily viewed as they receive their awards. At a fashion show, models can easily maneuver the crowd by strolling along a catwalk, giving everyone the best view of their outfits.
Did you know that we also offer pool cover stage rentals? These stages, either solid or transparent, can be secured over inground pools, giving your event’s décor the “wow” factor while simultaneously optimizing the event space.
Dance Floor Rentals
The dance floors we provide at Grimes Events & Party Tents are high-quality Modular Grid-Loc tiles. These special tiles are easy to install and uninstall, are scuff-resistant, easy to clean, and highly durable. Our Modular Grid-Loc tiles are often used in commercial settings such as yoga studios, trade shows, dance floors at special events, and so much more! We offer different styles including black and white tiles, white marble tiles, smoked oak tiles, and wood tiles. No matter what type of event you are hosting, we have the perfect floor to fit your needs!
