Weddings - The Focus of We

Weddings, something that has been happening for 1,000's of years.  So many cultures, so many traditions.  Once you start down this path you create a life long experience.  In Canada we are referred to as a Cultural Mosaic, not a Melting Pot.  We are all here as Canadians be we celebrate our cultural diversity.  This also applies when it comes to celebrating weddings and there are so many cultural traditions to follow.  Culture is a part of wedding celebrations.  We all witness this every weekend during the busy wedding season.  Our cultural diversity sets us apart from so many other...

Bar Glassware -  How Many?

This is a question that comes up every day.  You are organizing your event and are trying to determine everything you need.  Tables, chairs, linens, china and cutlery,  easy.  That can be determined by your guest count.  For weddings you guess this amount months before and then adjust once your final guest count is in.  For events where you are not sure who is walking through the door, you have to make your best guess.   With glassware, it's a little more complicated.  Everyone eats one meal but has more than one drink.  The rental industry has come up with a...

We rent portable dance floors throughout the year.  They can be set up indoors on carpeted floors to provide a safe and proper surface to dance on.  They can also be set up a grass surface under a tent.  To do this we first install a plywood sub-floor   on the grass to create an even surface then we install the dance floor on top.   What size dance floor should you have for your event?  This is how we determine dance floor size.  At most events, never more than 50% of the people in attendance dance at any one time.  Each...

Harvest Tables - Homemade

Harvest Table brings to mind a feast with food, family and friends.  A time to celebrate the bountiful season.  This simple table from generations past has become a focal point again.  A place to sit at and celebrate an occasion that will last a lifetime.  The occasion this time is dominated by wedding celebrations.   Our first harvest tables were built over 3 years ago.  Since then we have had to add more and more tables to ensure we could help every customer celebrate their event.  We are still adding to our inventory today.  They are made by us. The knotty...

Rental vs. Disposable - Going Green is easier and cheaper than you might think!

With Spring and Summer just around the corner, it is a good time to rethink using disposable dishes, glassware and cutlery and move to the more environmentally friendly option of renting these items.  Not only is it better for the environment, it is shown to be better for your health, taste of your food and your pockets! Re-usable dishware uses far less energy and resources over its lifetime than its disposable counterpart.  Even with the energy and the water needed to wash items, the overall environmental impact is substantially less than single-use, throw-away items. The plastic required for the manufacture...
