5 Tips for Finding the Right Party Rental Service in Los Angeles

A party rental company in Los Angeles needs to be at the top of your list of things to do when planning a party or event. You need a reliable company that offers a good inventory of items. When you find a good company, they will save you time and money, which are equally important.
  1. Visit a Showroom

It’s hard to get a vision for your event without seeing the supplies in front of you. Visit our showroom of party rental items and services so you can see what they have as well as the quality and condition of everything.

  1. Check Out the Inventory Online

A company’s website is a great tool for learning about them. (Feel free to explore ours while you’re here!)

Learn about the events that the rental service has provided rentals for in the past and view a photo gallery. We have photos of many of our past events and have helped with graduations, carnivals, and everything in between.

Every event you hold might be different. This means you might need tables and chairs for one event, bar equipment for another, and tents and lighting for another.

  1. Make Some Comparisons

Take the time to make comparisons between a few rental services in LA. Take into consideration not only cost, but also availability of supplies. You don’t want to have to work with multiple companies to get all of what you need.

  1. Ask Questions
It’s a good idea to ask questions of the company to learn about costs as well as what they’re able to do to help you. We’re happy to address any questions you have about rentals for an upcoming event.


  1. Read Reviews

You should read some reviews online about the party rental service. If others have had a good experience, the likelihood of you having one is high. (You can read our reviews here.)
A great party rental service will make it easier to get tables, lights, catering equipment, and so much more. Let us help your event to be successful by calling to rent items with us today!

Don’t Forget to Keep Your Guests Warm as the Night Rolls In

Congratulations! You have booked a venue for your party, and you are now trying to iron out the furniture needs for hosting so many people…

You’ve probably already thought about tables and chairs. You may have already gotten the tents squared away. What’s left besides shelter and seating?

Temperature. Control it! Don’t neglect space heaters.

Hot Days, Cool Nights

Parties often start in the early evening. At this time, the temperature can still be fairly warm. It’s tempting to not even think about space heaters! However, after people start mingling and dancing, a little bit of sweat on your guests is bound to develop. Once the temperature begins to drop in the late evening, this is a recipe for some very cold and uncomfortable guests. Having space heaters at your party solves this problem!

The Value of Warmth

Everybody knows you need to treat your guests warmly. This means welcoming guests to your party, being a gracious host, and literally keeping your guests warm! If your guests feel the slightest chill, they may turn grumpy. They might even leave your party early. You simply can’t underestimate the value of keeping your guests warm. This is true in both a literal and figurative sense.

Cozy Up Those Tents!

If you are hosting your party outside, placing your space heaters inside of tents is the way to go! The tents will keep all of that warmth in one place. People will be able to chat, eat, and socialize in a warm area. The cool air outside will also be available to anyone who happens to work up a sweat on the dance floor and needs to cool off. 

What are you waiting for? Take the time to book space heaters for your party today. Once the party warms up as the night temperature drops, you and your guests will be glad you did!

How To Get a Seamless, Flawless Party…Even if You’re Unsure About the Space!

AAA Rents uses 3-D CAD software to help design the perfect flow and ideal setup for any gathering.

In any event at a new venue, there long list of unknown elements that can affect the event and the way it carries out from start to finish.

Part of this is the appearance of unpredictable guests, but part is also the initial layout of all rented items. Tables, walkways, dance floors, even placement of heaters — every area that guests may wander can have unexpectedly large effects on the comfort levels of the guests.

And if you’ve ever coordinated an event before, you know — there are always surprises. Always.

Of course, it’s part of what keeps the profession interesting…but nobody needs those headaches, right?

There’s a very good solution for this problem: 3-D CAD software!

Our computer program helps us identify optimal placements based on real-world measurements for the best flow of guest activity possible.

It’s very simple. If you’re able to get the measurements of the venue, then we can help you make the best possible use of the space.


We’ll help you with placement, and we’ll even offer our recommendations on what to order for any given occasion. We’ll help you keep the guests’ feet moving the right way by minimizing bottlenecks and wandering, and providing the best flooring for the event.

Take a look at our inventory with us. We offer more than just dance floors – we’ve got a variety of walkways, plants and hedges for guidance, red carpets, ropes, fencing, barricades, pool bridges, aisle ways, Astro-turf…even elevated runways and stages!

Don’t rely on memory…spatial memory in most people is much, much worse than they realize. Get those measurements, and call AAA Rents & Events! Let’s use computers for this task, and keep the people moving smoothly along.

Get Your Los Angeles Party Rentals Delivered and Set Up (Without Doing Any Heavy Lifting Yourself!)

Your first time with a new vendor is always a source of anxiety. How could it not be? Especially if you’re the primary event coordinator, there’s a million moving parts and they are all your responsibility. The last thing you need is an unpleasant surprise.

But little things that might seem obvious can certainly slip through the cracks, especially if communication is minimal and assumptions aren’t confirmed.

For example: what if you reserved your tables and chairs well in advance, thinking everything was ready for a large event, only to find that “free delivery” from the rental company meant plopping all those heavy tables and chairs down in disorderly stacks, leaving the actual event setup solely to you?

Some things you’d rent for a major event are simply too large and too plentiful for any one person to set up before an event, especially you’re that person. You’re already busy coordinating the entire show. The tables are supposed to be in place, not stacked off to the side. The chairs should be set out at the tables. The linens should match. The lights should be plugged in. The heaters should be ready.

And by the time you figure out what’s missing or wrong, it’s often already too late.

If you’ve never run into experiences like these, count yourself lucky. And if you work with AAA Rents & Events, you won’t have to worry.

If you’re an event planner, talk to us — we can get all your tables, chairs, tents, heaters, ANYTHING delivered and set up for you. You won’t have to lift a finger, our team will do the heavy lifting. And when it’s all done, we’ll pick it all up for you, too.

Talk to us today about reserving your event rentals and let’s coordinate when and where they’ll be put for you!

Atmospheric Elements (The Benefits of Tents and Canopies)

Everyone loves a good outdoor event until it gets too hot.

Or too bright. Or too windy. Or too rainy. Or too cold or too disorganized or too outdoorsy.

Your Outdoor Event Could Use Some Indoors

No matter the event you’re planning, adding some protection against the elements is a great way to provide your guests with fresh air and space without sacrificing comfort. A tent or canopy will protect friends and family from strong sun, wind and rain (hey, L.A. does get rain sometimes!).

Because at the end of the night, you want your guests to go home not just satisfied, but elated. That’s no easy task, especially when the guest count starts getting up there. But one thing lots of people enjoy is outdoor air, and one way to keep it comfortable is with rented structures to keep outside air flowing without detracting from everything else.

And you don’t need to just rent a tent–there’s plenty that goes into a large event that you can do to make your party the most memorable event of the year.

More Than Just Tents…

Consider adding a walkway to guide guests to the opening of the tent. This will add to the magic of your event and provide definition to the space. Adding a walkway will also reduce the risk of a stumble on uneven ground. If your event includes a band or DJ, consider adding a defined dance floor for guests to enjoy!

If the breeze is cool and light, open the sides of the tent to let the fresh air in. Your guests can breath deep and enjoy the scenery. As the sun sets, the walls can roll down to keep your guests cozy. Lighting will reflect against the white tent walls and provide a bright, pleasant atmosphere.

If you prefer a simpler look, consider a simple shade flat construction. This outdoor option provides a simple guard against strong sunlight while allowing the breeze to cool your guests. This feature can also be set close to an existing building to serve as a “front porch” to your party.

Thinking About Guests Means Also Thinking About Staff

A setup of multiple small canopies can combine to create a long covered space. You can set the band or DJ at one end of the canopies and allow other guests to socialize at the far end. A long set up of single canopies will also make access easier for your caterers and wait staff, so the party can roll on during the buffet tear down with minimal disruption!

Walkway, Heaters, and Lighting

Provide beverage stations at several points under the canopy in addition to wait staff. This will encourage guests to wander freely, socialize, and enjoy the atmosphere provided by the canopy. This will also enable the staff to do their jobs with minimal interference.

Position the tent close to a power source so your caterers have access to electricity as they set up. Additional access issues to consider include heavy items such as coolers full of ice. During meal time, consider opening side walls that will allow for a breeze to pass through the venue to reduce flies and other pests.

Fresh Plants for a Fresh Atmosphere

Your guests will be more comfortable with fewer bugs. Consider incorporating the following fragrant plants into centerpieces or flower arrangements:

Mint
Lemongrass
Lavender
Basil

In addition to being attractively aromatic, these plants will repel mosquitoes and cut down on gnats and flies.

If possible, arrange the theme of your event around the colors included in these plants, or place live versions of these plants on the table and invite guests to take them home as a remembrance or keepsake.

When setting out food for your event, keep covers on hot food and provide mesh tents for cold dishes. Make sure to address a spot to set these covers aside when selecting food so guests can easily access their chosen food and then re-cover it.

No matter the formality of your dinner wear, AAA Rents & Events can help you set a beautiful table. Their reasonable rates on dinnerware, silver, table cloths and place settings can help you create a memorable event. Should your event lend itself to disposable dishes, be sure to provide discreetly placed covered trash cans, again to reduce pesky insects and keep the air fresh.

If you’re looking for tent rental in Glendale, CA, check out AAA Rents & Events for elegant tents and canopies. In addition to protection from the sun, our rental stock includes custom lighting features, swag draping, and flowing curtain panels. Your party can move from bright to exotic, depending on your selection. Relax and enjoy!

Better Wedding Planning: How to Use the Space and Save Time During Set-Up

Setting up for a wedding can be very time consuming, and sometimes there is limited time, space, and resources to get the event ready. It may be that the catering and rental companies are not allowed into the building until a certain time, or another event may be held preceding the one you’ve booked. Whatever the case, the following tips will help make the process far less stressful and less time consuming for all involved. Follow these practices to make the wedding setup easy and swift…

Get Organized

Long before the event, sit down and draw out a floor plan and figure out your logistics. Gather all of your best employees or volunteers, and ask for input on how to put on this event in a timely and efficient manner.

Make checklists of everything that is needed. Lay out the precise steps that will need to be taken to accomplish all of the tasks, and be sure everyone is on board.

For example, when loading vans and trucks, be sure to put items in the vehicles in the order needed from front to back–or from front to back, depending on how the vehicle will be unloaded. Be aware of that.

If possible, use software to lay out your floor design to get the maximum usage from the space available. Then you will be able to begin your set-up immediately upon arrival. The best events are the ones where all the time and effort are put into the organization of the function. The event should almost run itself if this is done effectively.

Keep Your Options Available

Realize that floor plans don’t always fit the space they are intended for, and keep several options at hand just in case. Deliveries don’t always arrive on time, and workers can be late (Los Angeles traffic??) or may need to leave for emergencies. Remain flexible, and always have a back-up plan for all aspects of the set-up.

Coordinate with Vendors

Check and double check all of the arrival times of the vendors. Review contracts and specifications beforehand, too. For example, a band may require a specific amount of space for their performances. You do not want to find this out the day of the event.

Rental companies will need exact sizes of the tables you will need for your event. Check on food requirements for caterers, electrical needs for special lighting, parking, and other requests and requirements of all vendors used in advance for a smooth set-up in the space that is provided.

Don’t be afraid to use professionals. Table rentals from Los Angeles companies such as AAA Rents will exceed all of your expectations with their expertise and assistance. (We’ll even do all the heavy lifting for you — we deliver, set up, a ck up the equipment afterward!)

Stay Calm

Even though you may feel you are playing “beat the clock,” it is important for everyone, especially managers and supervisors, to stay completely calm. Other employees and volunteers will feed off the high emotions that may erupt during the course of this set-up, so be sure that those in charge stay calm, cool, and collected, even if that is not how they feel inside.

Even if an aspect of the space provided or the set-up goes south, having a level head that can motivate other individuals and help come up with alternatives is vital during these stressful times.
Doing as much work in advance helps out. Create a plan, and manage the plan…the plan will manage the people so you don’t have to!

Work as a Team

Utilize individuals who work well together. Putting together something of this size, magnitude, and importance requires the experience, commitment, and stamina of all involved. Everyone should be aware of their role in this important event and do t very best to lete their tasks and more.

Pace Yourself

As space is being configured and the room set up, make a point to pace yourself. Don’t rush around so much that important details are missed or work so slowly that the room is not set up in time. Figure out how much needs to be done in the time allotted, allow for emergencies and unexpected situations, and work in a steady and productive manner.

Setting up a wedding in Los Angeles can be very stressful, but following the above suggestions will make all the difference in the world to all who are involved and to the final product. Your clients will be so happy with the room and the set-up.

Never lose sight of the fact that you are in the business of creating memories, and being cognizant of what it takes to transform a room into a beautiful environment will help do just that!

And if you need assistance or equipment…call AAA Rents and Events!

Attention On Tents (and Renting the Right Ones)

It’s L.A. It’s summer.

It’s hot. Really hot.

Record heat, in fact.

2016 is already the hottest year on record worldwide, and Southern California is certainly feeling it. The Southland has had record-high days in every single month so far this year. According the Weather Service, temperatures in the valley will soar somewhere between 110 and 118 degrees this weekend.

But it’s L.A. It’s summer. Party we must, and party we shall, regardless of heat. It takes more than that to dull our shine.

That said, there’s nothing wrong with doing everything we can to keep from burning to a crisp. People at outdoor events need all the help they can get, and party tents can make a huge difference. Think about it — standing in the sun and squinting is not as conducive to genial conversation as standing under a shaded roof, where it’s cooler and the ice in your beverage doesn’t melt as fast.

Wedding tent rentals are especially necessary, given that most weddings call for dressing well, usually in multiple layers. And even if your wedding is swimsuit-friendly, the average temperature difference is 27.5 degrees cooler in the shade.

AAA Rents – A Fantastic Selection of Tents and Canopies

Party hosts must be innovative during the summer, and renting a tent or canopy can be the best move you’ll make.

AAA Rents & Events provides tent rentals in Los Angeles for weddings and events of all sizes. Our inventory carries a wide variety of different tents and canopies, and you will be able to find a color and decor theme that matches what you envision in their head.

Our designer tents are perfect for intimate soirees with friends and family. Our large, elegant canopies should perfectly suit wedding receptions and birthday bashes from Santa Clarita to Long Beach to Pasadena. We have extensive experience renting out multiple tents to the same group, so any party planner in L.A. can be assured that no event will be too large for us to adequately supply.

Complete Setup and Removal

Tents are big. Even tents for small parties are tall and difficult to manage, and the more extravagant they look, the harder they are to assemble.

Don’t worry. We’ll set your tent up for you.

We’re pleased to offer full service assembly and disassembly of your tent and canopy setup. We are available 24 hours a day, so all you have to do is let us know what time your event starts and what time you want us to get the tent out of there.

Any questions that you have on the day of the event can be easily answered by our employees, and any issues that may arise will be resolved as quickly as possible. Entertaining a group of guests is stressful enough without worrying about the minutiae — let us concern ourselves with the setup details!

Our team will work tirelessly to ensure that the tent or canopy is raised and secure, as well as anything else you rent, like tables, chairs, electrical lighting, and so on. We are a professional party rental company that has thrived in Los Angeles for over 15 years, and our staff is knowledgeable, courteous and swift.

Beyond Tents and Canopies

“Wait, what was that about tables and chairs and lighting and more?”

Although tent and canopy rental is our main business, we also rent all of the little odds and ends that contribute to the overall success of a party. Tables, chairs, flooring, buffet pieces, you name it. You can get all your party rentals under one roof.

Our table and chair rentals run the gamut from fancy to casual, and we have product lines that fit everyone’s price range. Our Casa Blanca and Hugo lounge sets are perfect for refined crowds of industry bigwigs, but we can just as seamlessly supply low-key parties with Gost chairs and simple runner or banquet tables.

If the party needs supplying from the ground up, AAA also offers bar and entertainment center rentals, flooring and walkway designs, buffet and serving pieces and every possible item down to silver or gold dining room silverware.

We are committed to ensuring our client’s satisfaction with the entire experience, and that means supplying, delivering and picking up everything a party planner requires.

A Wide Array of Services

We’re more than just strong hands, too. We can help you create a vision in a real-world setting. Our employees are trained to use CAD software to lay out an ideal floor plan for the big event, and to set up lighting fixtures in a visually pleasing way. We understand the importance of atmosphere for parties and events.
