Many large events have been postponed or canceled because of COVID, but creativity has allowed us to continue celebrating special occasions! We have taken to providing our clients with opportunities to host socially distant events from the comfort of their driveway.
A Special Birthday
Recently, we helped one of our special clients celebrate their 10th birthday with a driveway event. Guests could drive by, wishing our client a happy birthday, or stop in for a socially distanced party. We transformed their driveway into a multi-colored, tie-dye extravaganza fitted with a tent, tables, goodie bags, and cupcakes! By partnering with GoFar Balloons and Bella Fiori Flower Walls, we were able to create a beautiful experience for all the attendees. Drive-by or stop in events such as these are great for celebrating anniversaries, graduation parties, birthday parties, and more while taking into consideration social distancing, health, and safety.
Host a Driveway Party
Provide your guests with a remarkable experience as they help celebrate your special day from your driveway! Whether you are looking for a casual get-together or elaborately themed party, converting your driveway for such a celebration is easy. Tents, tables, and lounge furniture can be set with ample distancing for mingling and an open house styled event. Include carpets, lighting, and textures to give your set up a unique theme.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on May 4th that many restaurants in the state could reopen with full outdoor seating captivity, while indoor seating is capped at 25% percent. While restaurants embraced the good news, they might not have enough outdoor seating to fit the need and demands of hungry customers. This is where Grimes Events & Party Tents, South Florida’s premier source for all types of tents and outdoor seating can help.
Tents
Frame tents are ideal for restaurants due to their traditional classic design, cost efficiency and ability to easily expand to fit the needs of the business. Grimes offer two sizes ‘6-20’ Wide and ‘30-40’ Wide. Both sizes can put close to the restaurant as long as the surface is relatively leveled. Grimes is not just limited to Frame Tents, they also have side tents among many others.
Tables And Chairs
When it comes to chairs Grimes has a large selection of chairs to fit your restaurant’s needs. Let Grimes Events & Party tents help you get back up and running today!

When planning your wedding, there are so many details and decisions that need to be made. With so much to do, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. At Grimes Events & Party Tents, we’ve been handling party rentals for over 20 years, so we want to help simplify the planning process so you can enjoy being engaged! Here’s our top three tips for planning a spring wedding in South Florida.
Have an Outdoor Wedding
The milder spring weather in South Florida makes it the perfect time to get married outdoors! With the abundance of beautiful outdoor venues in Florida, we’ve got you covered with a variety of tents. Whether you prefer a frame tent for your beach wedding, or would like a clear top to showcase the beauty of a botanical garden venue, we can take the guesswork out of your outdoor wedding. Even if the Florida weather surprises you with higher temperatures, we can install air conditioners in the tent to keep your guests comfortable.
Choose a Fun Color Scheme
Move over, pastels! Spring isn’t just for you anymore! Many brides are opting for fun and exciting color schemes, including Coral Pink, Saffron, or Flame Scarlet! Not every couple is the same, so why should every spring wedding feature the same colors? Bold accent colors are a fun trend this year that we’re hoping stays around for a while! If you’re using a bold accent color, try using a fun texture for the neutral side of the color scheme. A textured, neutral linen is the perfect complement to a Flame Scarlet floral centerpiece! Try mixing and matching fun colors and textures and decide what you think fits your wedding style.
Personalize the Little Details
At its core, a wedding should be about the love story of two people. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in all the excitement and expectations of others but try to remind yourself of what truly matters. Little decorative details are the perfect way to personalize your wedding. Even a detail as simple as table numbers can be made uniquely yours by including a photo of the bride and groom from when they were the same age as the table number. Another way to personalize your wedding is to try combining the bride and groom’s favorite colors to create a simple decoration to place over the chairs.

Parties are a great place to dance and have fun, but sometimes guests need to sit back and relax, too. Give your guests a place to rest with our comfy selection of lounge furniture. While those guests are catching up with friends, light up the rest of your party with some fun LED furniture and decorations. Here’s a quick snapshot of some lounge product offerings at Grimes Events & Party Tents:
Lounge Furniture
Our lounge pieces will add style to your party while also giving your guests a place to relax. Choose from a selection of chairs, ottomans, sofas, and furniture packages to fit the mood and theme of your party. Is your event style more corporate? Choose our white, cushioned chairs that are both comfy and professional. Do you want your party to be more modern and upbeat? Add a curved bar that lights up with LEDs. The best part is that our lounge furniture is ready to be used both inside and outside to suit you and your party’s needs.
LED Decorations
Create a colorful experience for your guests by lighting up your party with LED lounge decorations! Green, red, yellow, and blue lights will bounce off your walls and reflect off the water. Grimes offers wireless LED cubes in three different colors to fit the theme of any party. Besides cubes, you can add LED floating globes to light up and float in your pool.

We understand that this is a stressful and difficult time for everyone in our community and we all have to get creative!
Here at Grimes Events & Party Tents, we are fortunate to own a state-of-the-art, high temperature, environmentally friendly tent washing machine. We are able to keep our tent tops perfectly white without any mold or mildew.
In addition to washing our own inventory, in the past we have serviced a select number of clients, like the FL Department of Health and Rapids Water Park in cleaning and sanitizing their tops.
During this slow time, we are offering to clean, sanitize, dry, and fold any tents, cabanas, outdoor furniture/boat/RV covers. We offer 12 and 24-hour turnaround. Additionally, we offer sewing and repair services.
Tops that are regularly cleaned and maintained with the proper techniques don’t just look better, they remain in good condition for longer, giving you a better return on investment.
When considering tents for weddings and events, it’s important to know what to expect with the installation process, specifically timeline and pricing. We know that the foundation for a successful event lies in the preparation and planning, so we want to help simplify the installation process by answering the 5 most common questions that we receive.
Do you set up and break down the rental products?
Our delivery/ pick-up teams will set up and break down several of our rental products at no additional charge, including tents, bars, cooking equipment, dance floors, staging, and lighting. We can perform chair setup and breakdown, as well as table setup and breakdown services at an additional cost. Those services can be added at any point in the process before delivery.
What is your standard rental period?
The price of our rental equipment includes a 72-hour rental period. Should you need to keep our products longer than 72 hours, additional charges will apply.
Do you deliver?
Yes, we do offer delivery. When you request a delivery, you will be given either a morning (8 am-12 pm) or an afternoon (1 pm-6 pm) delivery window. Delivery rates will vary depending on delivery specifics and location.
What do I need to do to get ready for you to install the tent rental?
When installing a tent, the first step our crews take is to spread it flat on the ground in the area where it will be. Please have this area completely clear of obstructions before we arrive at the job site.
How will my tent be secured?
Grass – when setting up your tent, we typically drive a 42” stake into the grass in 2 places at each corner and 1 at each additional leg. The stakes will be approximately 4 feet away from the tent, with a white strap running from the top of the tent to the stake itself.
Asphalt – We will have to drill 1.5” diameter holes at each place that we need a stake. We can then drive our stakes in the ground, just the same as if we were setting up on grass. When we come back to pick up the tent, we will patch all holes with either asphalt patches or a plug.
Concrete – We will drill ½” diameter holes to secure your tent with concrete anchors. Our straps will run from the top of the tent down to the concrete anchors. When we pick up the tent, we will patch all holes with concrete patches, however we cannot guarantee an exact color match.
Other – If your tent is going on any surface that we are not allowed to drill through or drive stakes, we secure your tent with either cement weights or 55-gallon water barrels. To ensure that we have the proper equipment on-site, please contact us prior to booking your event. There will be an additional fee to secure any tent that we cannot stake.
From tents for weddings and events to table rentals (and everything in between!), Grimes Events & Party Tents is South Florida’s premier event rental company. If you are interested in hiring us for your next event, contact us at 561-853-8368.
