Whether you’re a barn venue or formal event venue, new venue or seasoned venue, we know investing in inventory can seem like a daunting task.
How many tables and chairs should I order? What style chairs best suit our venue? What else do I need to purchase to properly store and transport the inventory?
We get it, and that’s why we’ve created a venue guide with different tiers. So, no matter what size or type of venue you have, there is an option for you.

Tents & Canopies
Tents and Canopy’s offer shelter at any outdoor event.

The guest at your event will appreciate your readiness.
Event Lighting
The right lighting sets the mood for outdoor events. String lights especially can make an outdoor event more festive. Installing Event Lighting is easy and can be a permanent fixture with little routine maintenance.
Keeping Warm
Outdoor heaters are efficient in keeping your guest warm at an outdoor event. A lot of rustic locations will even offer fire pits and baskets of blankets to help keep guest warm on chilly evenings.
