With each passing year, the wedding industry continues to play a huge role in pushing the envelope in event design and execution, with rental companies leading the charge. Long gone are the days where tablecloths and centerpieces are the only boxes to check in the decor process. From lounge areas and photo vignettes to large scale installations, curated tabletops and catering displays, venues can be completely transformed with fabulous furniture, luxury linens and custom graphics. There are so many noteworthy vendors in this category we could mention that are providing couples across the country with endless inventory and impeccable customer service. Below, we’ve highlighted four outstanding companies we’ve seen changing the wedding rentals game for the better.
Loot Rentals
Formerly associated with a more vintage flair, Loot Rentals is a specialty rental company that is now one of the most notable rental companies in the south and central Texas areas. This company is known for speaking to so many different styles and event types. By categorizing their inventory into easily identifiable styled lounges and producing seasonal look books to showcase new items, couples can easily source the perfect pieces for their wedding at Loot. They’ve even curated a fun custom style quiz to help match their products to your ideal wedding “vibe”! (hello, Natural Modern). Other vibes include Nouveau Americana, Boho Bungalow and Austin Authentic to name a few, which, despite our quiz results, we feel we might just fall into any of them. We love Loot for so many reasons, and we KNOW you’ll love working with their incredible team and will find something that you just simply can’t live without incorporating into your big day.
BBJ Linen + La Tavola Fine Linens
If you’re looking to dress your tables, chairs and place settings with linens fit for royalty, look no further. Hailing from Niles, Illinois and the vineyards of Napa Valley, California respectively, these two boutique linen rental providers are experts at creating unique linen styles, mirroring the finest materials, colors and textures from the design and fashion worlds. Once two separate powerhouses in the special event world, BBJ Linen recently acquired La Tavola earlier this year, further elevating their monopoly on the luxury linen niche. Collectively, their inventory includes thousands of different types of fabrics that range from formal to rustic, neutral to vibrant, prints to solids, classic to whimsical; catered to match any theme or color scheme imaginable and adding sophistication and glam to anything they touch. With showrooms strategically placed across the United States, orders can be placed nationwide. Whether it’s a private engagement, a high-end gala for thousands or a styled editorial photoshoot, BBJ Linen + La Tavola is shaping the luxury linen game making it easy to create event experiences with artfully designed and curated linen collections making celebrations worthy of your story.
Marquee Event Rentals
What was once six separate rental companies has now been united to become one mega, premier event rental company; the almighty Marquee Event Rentals. Serving couples across the Midwest and South, their vast inventory includes event furniture, fine china, drapery, flatware, tenting, staging, climate control and lighting just to name a few, making them a true one-stop shop for all things rental and decor. Because of their accessibility across the region and unparalleled customer service, they are able to execute any type or size of event, from weddings to festivals to themed parties. A quick visit to their website to shop their incredible products is made even easier with access to templated design boards, product guides and the latest trend reports so you can make informed decisions when selecting the perfect pieces for your special event. So whether you need to deck out your tables, light up your ceremony or tent your entire reception, Marquee Event Rentals is on the job.
Archive Rentals
With a team of award winning designers to help you every step of the way, you’ll LOVE what specialty rental company, Archive, has to offer when it comes to event rentals and event design. Celebrating their 10-year anniversary in business this year, this company is exploding with growth into new markets with a presence in California, Texas and the Pacific Northwest but also takes their incredible talent and inventory international by serving the Riviera Maya coastline of Mexico. From ornate arbors, delicate accessories, unique seating options, and swoon-worthy glassware, Archive is known for their ability to give forgotten pieces new purposes. Their pieces are a unique mix of contemporary, boho and glam all rolled into one fabulous package and their ideal clients are those who want to break from the normal and design an event that is as unique as they are. If this sounds like you, you can start the dream wedding planning process by working with Archive not only on selecting amazing rental pieces to bring your wedding to life, but by working with an event designer who is on site day-of to make sure everything is placed to perfection.
