Every event begins with the essentials: Chairs, tables, place settings. The foundational pieces that make a celebration functional.
But extraordinary events? They’re defined by what happens beyond the basics.
At Vivant, we think about rentals in two categories.
The Rentals You Need
These are the structural elements of your floorplan.
- Dining tables that establish layout.
- Chairs that balance comfort with aesthetics.
- Foundational pieces that allow the design to take shape.
Without them, nothing works. But on their own, they don’t necessarily elevate a room. That’s where the difference begins.
The Rentals That Make a Difference
Bars
A bar is rarely just a bar. It becomes a focal point — a gathering space, a design statement, a photo backdrop. Whether sleek and modern like the Grace Bar or richly detailed like the Ansley, the right bar anchors a reception with intention.
Shelving
Layered shelving creates dimension. It provides space for florals, escort displays, favors, glassware, and curated styling moments that add personality and depth.
In large-scale venues especially, shelving transforms negative space into a designed experience.
Don’t believe us? Explore our shelving option, and you’ll become a believer.
Specialty Chairs
Specialty seating shifts the tone instantly.
A thoughtfully selected chair silhouette (like this stunning Lennon Dining option) can soften a modern room, elevate a tented reception, or introduce texture where it’s needed most.
A Specialty Experience Alongside Specialty Rentals
It’s often the subtle change that guests feel — even if they can’t quite articulate why.
When planners and designers partner with us, we’re not simply delivering inventory.
We’re collaborating on flow. On visual balance. On the details that take a space from functional to unforgettable.
Because while every event needs chairs and tables, the right bars, shelving, and specialty pieces are what make it artfully curated.Ready to get started? Reach out today!
