Kaitlyn was recently chosen in the Rental Management’s 2024 ‘12 to Watch Under 40’ ! 🌟 She attributes much of her success to the supportive environment at Special Event Rentals. “I have such a knowledgeable, reliable, and customer-service-oriented team. Their collective efforts ensure that even the most complex and large-scale events are executed flawlessly,” she says.

DeGrasse’s involvement with the ARA () has further enriched her professional journey. Encouraged by Neil Goodkey, the owner of Special Event Rentals, she attended The ARA Show™, which broadened her perspective on the industry. “It was great. It just opened your eyes a little bit more,” she recalls. The experience reinforced her belief in the significance of the rental industry and its pivotal role in the event sector.

Over her 11-year tenure, she has significantly contributed to the success here at Special Event Rentals. One of her notable achievements includes expanding our inventory to include luxury lounge furniture, unique linens and high-end glassware, all of which have become highly sought-after items. Another remarkable accomplishment is the launch of our podcast aimed at fostering community and education within the rental industry.

The full article is linked in our profile, and please join us in congratulating her in the comments below! 😊

👇 Below are 3 ideas you can borrow for planning your wedding:

1. If your plates are going to be at the buffet table, consider renting a charger plate (like the gold charger plate, pictured) so that your reception tables look more complete & finished, even without the dinner plate present

2. Layer your glassware heights with one taller, stemmed glass and one shorter glass. The shorter glass should be between 1/2 and 2/3 the height of the tall glass for proper proportions

3. Add a colourful, textured napkin and a menu or name card for interest at your place setting

Save these ideas for reference & follow along for more wedding design tips!

They aren’t “just rentals” - the rentals you have at your event set the atmosphere & mood for your guests to enjoy. 💫

At this event for PCL Construction, you can see:

- A clear frame tent & patio heaters outside for comfort
- Gold framed plexi bars with LED lighting, with the Commodore back bar and gold touch lamps as the backdrop
- A mix of hightop tables dressed in green velvet linen, and lower tables dressed in a coordinating linen paired with Gold Chiavari chairs

Thank you for including us in your event!

The story behind these wedding photos: When Madeline & Filip’s reception venue unexpectedly closed down 3 weeks before their wedding day, the team was tasked with finding a new location & moving the event.

As the couple’s date was on a popular September weekend last year, most venues were already booked - so they pivoted to build a custom clearspan tented venue on the WELCA grounds, located in central Edmonton ✨

The wedding could not have come together more beautifully - this is the result of working with an incredible wedding planning and vendor team!

↓ Why rent?!

When you are looking to plan a festive party for 50 guests or you are planning a wedding for 200 guests, rentals are the perfect way to plan an event that suits your needs. Here’s why you should consider renting:

01. You don’t have to do the dishes 🍽
After a long event, the last thing you will want to do is clean up the mess. Renting allows you to keep entertaining your guests without having to fret about cleaning the dishes or laundering the linen. Let your mind rest knowing that Special Event Rentals will take care of cleaning the equipment used for your event.

02. Expert advice 🤝
Our event rental team is full of knowledgeable, event savvy individuals who are able to provide you with décor tips and assist you in the planning process to help create the event of your dreams.

03. Quality 🌟
Our rental products are industry-proven which means you will be sure to have the best quality product for your event.

04. One-stop shop ✅
With the largest event rental inventory in Western Canada, we carry a variety of event décor items; from tents to votive candle holders, we are sure to have what you are looking for to create a spectacular event. There is no need to run around the city to find décor pieces from several different stores when you visit us.

05. Simplicity & storage 🙏
You don’t have to store all the items needed for your event - you can choose to either pick up and return your event décor items from our warehouse, or have your items scheduled for delivery, leaving you free to oversee other aspects of your event.

↓ How to get this curved table design:

…rent serpentine tables!

Serpentine tables are a curved table, with a curved inside edge, allowing for endless layout options & configurations where guests can sit on both sides, but they are something different than a traditional family-style long rectangular table layout 🤍

If you’re wanting to switch up your event table layout, consider using serpentine tables. Let us know if you have any questions about them!
