A Seat For Everybody



Planning an event with lots of people? Of course seating is important, because (depending on the estimated time of the event) people are going to want to sit down versus standing for long periods of time. Finding a folding chair rental company is easier than it may seem. We are available to make sure that your guests will be able to sit and enjoy the event that you have organized.

How Many Chairs Are Needed?

Why rent chairs, Los Angeles residents may ask? Chair rentals are needed so that guests are not standing around for hours, or decide to get frustrated and go sit inside of their cars until whomever they came with is ready to go. Some chair renters feel as if they can order half the amount of chairs and let the other guests stand, but that’s not fair, is it? Folding chairs can be ordered in large quantities. Whether you need 50 chairs or 300 chairs for your event, any rental chair company worth their salt should be glad to accommodate your needs.

Who Sets Up The Chairs?

We do. When there is a large crowd expected, someone has to set up all those folding chairs. Imagine setting up 300 folding chairs by yourself – no fun. Your rental company should have the employees to help set up these chairs for your guests. AAA Rents will always do this for you with a smile.

Preparing To Send The Folding Chairs Back

Remember the chairs did not get set up by themselves, so they cannot come down by themselves, either. Asking the folding chair rental company who is responsible for folding the chairs back up is an important question, and one that is, surprisingly, often forgotten. We’ll always fold your chairs for you at the end of the night…of course, we never complain when someone folds them up ahead of time! But it’s not at all necessary. It’s just part of our work, always included with no hidden fees.

What Does a Caterer Need (and How Can We Help)?



Catering is an exciting career, and a career that has a great do-it-yourself philosophy. We like the caterers we work with here at AAA Rents and Events.

However, before you start catering, you’ll need a few things. In fact, nothing will stop a catering business faster than being unprepared. But, if you know what you need, you’ll have a great catering business and be cooking for big parties in no time.

One thing caterers definitely need is a supplier; your business will definitely fail without a reliable supplier to buy food from. The first place to look is retail grocery stores because you can sometimes find great deals. However, you’re better off finding a wholesaler, as this will keep your food cost down. And, obviously, with your food cost down you’ll make a better profit, which is the end game. After you’ve found your wholesaler, try to make a rapport with the key people in charge. This way you’ll get quick service and special deals.

Next, you’ll need the proper tools of the trade. One of these tools is either a van or SUV for transporting the food and crew members. A van/SUV is especially important for bigger orders. Because you need to get yourself big coolers and big warmer trays. The coolers will keep the food fresh while you transport it, and the warmer trays keep the food warm for customers. Without these things, you won’t last long as a caterer.

And from our point of view, there’s one more ultra-important thing you need: familiarity with portable kitchens. Our Los Angeles party rental inventory boasts complete kitchenware, from stoves and burners to specialty buffet serving pieces right down to the smallest silverware piece, and we can get you set up if you can do the cooking. If you are adaptable to any kitchen in any setting, you may find yourself in high demand in no time.
