What Unique Event Rentals Should Event Pros Buy?

The most popular event rental items are chairs, tables, linens, and tableware such as plates and silverware. Naturally, these are the most essential components of any party, so they must be rented if you don’t already own the right quantity, type, or color. However, these are far from the only things that people rent. There are tons of unique event rentals out there that your clients would love.

There’s entertainment rentals, such as moon bounces and karaoke machines. There’s decor, such as vintage typewriters and feather centerpieces. Sometimes, people rent stranger things such as pink flamingos (a great alternative to balloons to signify where the party is!) or fog machines to have a magical, cloud-like effect for their first dance as a married couple.

You may want unique event rentals for your special occasion, but might not even know what exists. Here is a list of 5 surprising things you can rent for your next big event:

1) Snow Machine

4) Indoor “Food Trucks”

Everyone can agree that food trucks are hugely popular and a trend setting staple to any event. Since most wedding venues don’t allow food trucks on their site (Something about not being able to fit through the front door…) this is a great alternative. These food truck cutouts give your guests the feeling of eating at a food truck while still being able to sit at a banquet table. These props would be great for a cocktail hour where guests can go from food truck to food truck and sample each of the different items on the various menus.

5) Glow Bar
