Surprising Things You Can Rent: Beyond the Basics

You know you can rent cars, apartments, moving trucks, furniture, and tools. You may also know you can rent items for events like chairs, tables, tents, linens, and dance floors. But I bet you didn't know you could rent these other five surprising things!

Unique Rental Options for Your Next Event

1. Event Fencing

Traditional fencing requires permanent anchoring to the ground. However, event rental companies offer uniquely designed event fencing for temporary use. These fences are great for general crowd control, creating line queues, or enclosing spaces. They provide a flexible solution for any event.

2. Tabletop Packages & Decor

Are you hosting a dinner party or reception but lack enough place settings? Or perhaps you envision a custom, high-end look but don’t want to break the bank buying dozens of new items. You can rent stunning, trendy dinnerware, flatware, glassware, chargers, and more from an event rental company! Some companies, like Herriott's Rentals, even offer custom table setting packages. This way, you won’t have to spend hours designing a table! Additionally, you can rent decor such as candleholders and vases to enhance your event's ambiance.

3. Gazebos/Canopies

Most event rental companies provide various arches for weddings and backdrops. Did you know some also offer gazebos, canopies, huppahs, and mandaps? These structures serve as beautiful additions to any wedding or outdoor dining table. They create a charming atmosphere that your guests will love.

4. Professional Karaoke Machines

You don’t have to wait for karaoke night at your local bar to belt out your favorite songs. You also don’t have to settle for cheap karaoke machines with poor sound quality. Rent a professional-grade karaoke machine from your local event rental company and host your own karaoke night! It’s a fun way to entertain your guests and create lasting memories.

5. Concessions like Sno-Kone Machines, Chocolate Fountains, & Cotton Candy Machines

Elevate any game night, birthday party, backyard gathering, or corporate event with the addition of concession equipment. These machines can cost thousands to buy, but you can rent them at a fraction of the cost. Plus, they are incredibly easy to use! Imagine the joy on your guests' faces as they enjoy delicious treats like cotton candy or chocolate-covered strawberries.
