If you’re looking for simple, affordable ways of making any event you’re throwing into a more engaging, enjoyable time, one of your best options here is to look into event rentals. If you’ve decided to go this route, especially if it’s your first time in the event rental space, it pays to know a few basic themes and concepts as you get started.
At In The Event, we’re proud to offer a huge range of event rental products for Utah events, from stages and dance floors to linens, tables, chairs and anything else you can think of. What are some simple event rental concepts we discuss with new clients, and what should you be prepared for as you enter this world? Here’s a basic primer.
While rentals won’t necessarily be right for every single event thrown, they’re often a great way to save both time and money while still achieving the look and feel you’re going for. Especially if you don’t plan on hosting very many events, or if this is a one-time thing, rentals make a lot of sense. It’s much easier (and often more affordable) to rent what you need for your event than it is to buy everything outright. Of course, you’ll want to do your research and figure out what makes the most sense for your particular event. In some cases, it may make more sense to buy certain items outright. But in other cases, especially if you’re on a tight budget or timeline, rentals will definitely be the way to go.
While there may be some rare cases where you need to source your rentals from multiple suppliers, in general it’s always best to stick with a single supplier whenever possible. This will make your life much easier, both in terms of logistics and coordination.
When you’re working with a single supplier, you’ll only have to deal with one company throughout the entire process. This means fewer phone calls and emails, and less potential for miscommunication. You’ll also be able to take advantage of any package deals or discounts that your chosen supplier may offer.
Just like any other aspect of event planning, it’s always best to plan your rentals in advance whenever possible. This will give you the widest range of choices, and will also help you take advantage of early bird discounts or other special offers.
Of course, there are always going to be times when you need to rent something on short notice. In these cases, your best bet is to work with a supplier who has a large inventory and can accommodate last-minute requests.
