When it comes to planning a wedding, most couples don’t want to settle for cookie-cutter solutions that will make their wedding appear impersonal or even unremarkable. Instead, they want the biggest day of their lives to represent the two of them and no one else.

This yearning for personalization doesn’t have to translate into more money. On the contrary — whether you’re planning a formal wedding or a more casual event, you can incorporate personalized touches without breaking the bank by renting the materials you will need.

From 250 identical vases, to chandeliers, to helium balloons or faux floral centerpieces, rental businesses provide endless amounts of materials that can make the difference between a run-of-the-mill event and your dream wedding.

“You can rent just about anything to make your wedding perfect,” said Christine Wehrman, CEO of the American Rental Association (ARA), the global trade association for the rental industry. “By renting products for your wedding, you don’t have to settle for items that don’t fit your personalized vision. You’ll get exactly what you’re looking for and you’ll have access to products that may have otherwise been too expensive in large quantities.”

Make an impression by choosing table linens in your wedding colors, or go with all–white, then add chair covers with a bow-tie sash and matching napkins in accent colors. Rental businesses will have hundreds of colors to pick from. Be sure to ask for sample swatches of the linens so you can coordinate colors with your bridesmaid dresses and flowers. Add your choice of china and glassware to the arrangement for each table and get a rich and sophisticated setting.

If you’re looking for the beauty of an outdoor location without the worry about the weather, tents are a great way to create the wedding of your dreams. ARA member rental businesses have beautiful tents to create the venue, as well as everything you need to make it beautiful and comfortable.

Huge tents and elegant canopies come in wedding white and many also come with clear tops — thus allowing guests access to the drama of a sunset or a sparkling night sky. However, if you plan on incorporating a tent into your wedding, make sure you give the rental business — and yourself — enough advanced notice. Depending on the time of year, the rental business will need plenty of notice to reserve all the equipment you will need.

Also, many ARA member rental businesses offer personalized service through their Certified Event Rental Professionals who are trained to help you choose the right rentals to make your dream wedding come to realization.

They can help ease the tension of pre-wedding set up with their knowledge and experience. Many businesses even help you throughout the event as well, keeping it on track and flowing smoothly.

You can also rely on rental service experts to help before you book your venue. They can help you assess the site for things like power accessibility, ground water issues, or overhead power lines that may interfere with your vision of a tall tent, among other situations.

All events, no matter how big or small — even for the Oprahs or Trumps of the world — include rented materials. Visit www.rentalhq.com to find your local ARA member rental business.

If you want the beauty of an outdoor location for your wedding without the worry about the weather, the perfect place can be elusive. Expand your venue possibilities by creating the wedding of your dreams.

Whether it’s your backyard or your favorite park, you pick the spot — and rent everything you need to create your perfect dream wedding. Rental businesses have beautiful tent structures to create the venue, as well as everything you need to make it beautiful and comfortable.

Huge tents and elegant canopies come in wedding white and many also come with clear tops — thus allowing guests access to the drama of a sunset or a sparkling night sky. Rental options also include sophisticated lighting, fine linens, china and flatware, dance floors, bars, stages, even flooring for the tent and portable kitchens for the caterer … the list continues. And it’s all available for you to personalize your wedding day.

Whether formal or casual, your wedding can be completely your design. Make an impression by choosing table linens in your wedding colors, or go with all–white, then add chair covers with a bow-tie sash and matching napkins in accent colors. Be sure to ask for sample swatches of the linens so you can coordinate colors with your bridesmaid dresses and flowers. Add your choice of china and glassware to the arrangement for each table and get a rich and sophisticated setting.

According to the American Rental Association, many rental businesses offer personalized service through certified event rental professionals on staff who are trained to help you choose the right rentals to make your themed dream wedding come true.

Rental professionals will help ease the tension of pre-wedding set up with their knowledge and experience. Many businesses even help you throughout the event as well, keeping it on track and flowing smoothly. “We offer on-site staffing for the support of generators, which provide lighting, air-conditioning and fans — all are a part of the execution of the event,” says Matt Fitzgerald, director of the national rental program, Chicago Party Rental. “As an all-service provider, we serve their needs and lend advice based on experience.”

How do you decide on a venue?

Once you have the date, time, location and approximate number of people you will invite, consider a theme and the atmosphere you might want to create. Before you put a non-refundable deposit on the unique venue, talk to an event rental expert. He can assess the site for things like power accessibility, ground water issues, or overhead power lines that may interfere with your vision of a tall tent, among other situations. A rental professional has the background and experience to help you make an informed decision.

What if you have the perfect spot but don’t know what theme to go with?

A rental professional can show you everything that is available to help you create the event of your dreams. Ask for photos of other events and search the Internet for examples of decorated tents. You’ll find elaborate photos of tents with tent liners, swagging and décor in all colors and themes at www.RentalHQ.com.

All events, no matter how big or small — even for the Oprah’s or Trump’s of the world — include rental businesses.

Tent Event Tips

Make sure you give the rental shop — and yourself — enough advanced notice. Depending on the time of year, the rental shop will need plenty of notice to reserve all the equipment you will need.

Look for a rental business that is a member of a business, professional or trade association, like the American Rental Association, which provides rental businesses with year-round education and training opportunities.
