by Los Angeles party planning can seem like a circus with all of the moving pieces. It’s important to have chairs, tables, and tents. Don’t forget entertainment. Where should you start? If you are like me, your first thought might be to call a few party rental services, additional info?
Let’s first talk about seating. Has anyone ever attended a party with not enough chairs available? This is like musical chair, only without the music. It can be a bit awkward. In LA you can choose from a variety of options. The options are endless, from sleek wooden benches to vintage stools that look as if they were taken straight from an old movie. Choose something that goes with your theme. Whether it’s an elegant rooftop soiree or a laid back beach party, you need to choose something that will match.
Talking of themes, what about the decor? Imagine you enter a room that is filled with fairy lights strung across rustic beams. Mason jars with wildflowers are placed on every table. Sounds dreamy, right? It’s amazing what a little decor can do for your event. You’ll find plenty of fairy dust companies in Los Angeles.
We’ll need to get tents and canopies ready because LA weather is unpredictable. It can be just as unpredictable as a cat in the middle of the night. It’s sunny one minute, and it appears to be raining the next. A sturdy tent provides shelter and sets the tone for your gathering. Consider white marquees to be used for weddings, or colorful cabanas as a backdrop for sand parties. The options are endless.
But wait! What about the food? Yes, the food and drink are at the core of any event! Catering equipment will also be rented unless you are planning to serve your chips from a large bowl. Elegant chafing dish keeps food warm while adding class. Cocktail tables allow guests to mix while enjoying their drinks.
Entertainment is something else entirely. Hired a DJ on short notice in LA before? You can find a needle easier in a stack of hay! It’s best to book someone in advance who is able to read the crowd. Throw in a few fun extras to make it more memorable, such as karaoke and photo booths. Because who doesn’t love singing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody after two drinks?
Let’s take a moment to talk about the logistics. No one likes surprises, especially when it comes to planning an event. To avoid being caught off guard hours before your show, make sure to coordinate delivery times with your schedule. Setup help is essential; big tents don’t just erect on their own!
It was the first time I’ve ever done something I couldn’t handle. We rented gorgeous pastel-colored umbrellas that looked great but were hard to put up by ourselves. It would have been chaos if we didn’t have extra hands.
What are the costs? Renting can be expensive, but you are investing in memories to cherish forever (or at least up until Instagram stories expire). It’s important to compare prices because they can vary so much across LA.
To summarize (without summarizing), throwing a great party means juggling several elements, such as seating arrangements and delicious catering sets-ups. And all while maintaining your sanity. You can explore the many rental options that are available throughout Los Angeles. They will help you make your party unforgettable and simplify your life.
You can’t plan everything. Something will always go wrong. It’s often the unexpected moments in life that are most memorable.
