Party rentals can make or break your wedding! Please note, if you have a tented wedding, this might be especially true. In that case, every item from fork to light must be rented. However, even for an all-inclusive venue, linen and chair rentals can elevate the day. Lucky for you, we have some amazing event and party rental companies serving Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Charlotte NC weddings.

So, who is on our recommended list? We work with the NC Triangle and Charlotte Areas’ most reputable tent specialists. Additionally, these party rental companies supply every other need from tabletop rentals. This product list ranges from custom bars, lounge furniture and speciality lighting.

NC Party Rentals, Tents and Event Lighting

When planning your NC wedding, we advise you to look into party rentals once your venue is booked, and color palette is set. This is usually about 6-9 months before your wedding date.

Please take a good look at each of our Raleigh-Durham event and tent rental companies. A few upgrades can take your event from so-so to spectacular! Whether it’s tents, tables or champagne fountains, our NC rental stores will deliver, set-up and help you design whatever you need for a beautiful wedding day.

Also, don’t forget about the lighting. Custom chandeliers or up-lights can really amplify the mood.
