I can’t blame any woman
on her way to the altar for
wanting the most glamorous
wedding of all time. However
getting there in style and eye
popping decor can cost a lot
more than a pretty penny.
Fortunately, there is a such
thing as a wedding rental
service. They provide event
necessities, such as chairs,
tables, dinnerware, decor
and accessories. You choose
your theme, they will set it all
up, and take it all down.
It’s best to start your search early
so that these experts can take
care of all the preparations and
setup days before the wedding.
You can then focus on looking
beautiful and enjoying the rest of
the party.
We speak to Lisa Phillips of Classic
Party Rentals, who were rated the number one rental company in
New York City by Zagat, about their
services.
Urbanette Magazine:
What was the
most elaborate wedding party you’ve
ever organized and how did you
manage it?
Lisa Phillips:
The most elaborate
wedding involved elements from a
Persian bride and a Swiss groom that
started at twelve in the afternoon
and went until four in the morning.
A very beautiful and elegant Persian
ceremony was followed by a Christian
ceremony. This was followed by an
evening filled with Swiss Alpenhorns,
pantomime, dinner and dancing. At
1am we pulled out the hot dog cart
and ice cream sandwich truck for a
late night snack.
The most important ingredient in
managing an event like this is to
create a very specific timeline and do
your best to stick to it. The same goes
for the preparations.
Urbanette:
Do you get unusual
requests from clients? What are
these and how do you prepare for
such kinds of requests?
Lisa:
Recently I had a request to do
multi-colored chairs for a ceremony
in order to create a rainbow theme.
We painted over 500 chairs chairs
to prepare and the customer was
thrilled with the outcome along with
their guests.
Urbanette:
What do you think are
the three most important elements
a wedding party should have to be
successful?
Lisa:
Firstly, do not forget the reason
behind this special day. Secondly, if
on a budget, decide on the one thing
that will make your tabletop special.
Lastly, as the hosts of this big event,
please make sure you make your
guests are comfortable & happy.
