How a Popcorn and Cotton Candy Machine Can Make Your Event Unforgettable
May 17, 2025
There’s something about the smell of fresh popcorn and the sight of spinning cotton candy that instantly brings out a smile — no matter your age. These nostalgic treats don’t just feed your guests — they create an experience. Adding a popcorn or cotton candy machine to your event is one of the simplest ways to turn a fun party into an unforgettable memory.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we offer professional-grade popcorn and cotton candy machines that are easy to operate and always a hit with guests. These machines add excitement, a touch of theater, and the kind of sensory experience that sticks with people long after the event is over.
Popcorn is a classic crowd-pleaser. Whether it’s a kids’ birthday, movie night, school event, or carnival-themed celebration, the aroma alone draws people in. It’s warm, familiar, and satisfies snack cravings without the mess of full meals. Plus, it’s quick to serve and keeps guests coming back for more.
Cotton candy, on the other hand, brings whimsy. Watching the sugar spin into soft clouds is entertaining on its own — and seeing it handed out on sticks or in bags adds that fairground feel to your event. It’s especially popular at children’s parties, baby showers, and brand activations looking for something eye-catching.
These machines don’t just serve food — they create focal points. Place them near your entrance, photo booth, or dance floor to draw energy into key areas of your event. They also make great icebreakers — people naturally gather around to watch, chat, and enjoy the process.
They’re also cost-effective. A single machine can serve dozens (if not hundreds) of guests with very little product needed. That makes it a smart way to offer a treat without breaking your catering budget. We provide setup instructions, safety guidance, and even supply packages so you have everything you need.
Just like with any rental, proper setup is key. Make sure the machine is placed on a stable surface with access to a power source. Keep kids supervised during operation and follow our quick-start guide for best results.
Popcorn and cotton candy machines aren’t just about food — they’re about fun, nostalgia, and making your event stand out. It’s a small detail that leaves a big impression.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we’re here to help you add those extra touches that make your event truly one-of-a-kind. When people talk about your party weeks later, don’t be surprised if they start with, “Remember the cotton candy?”
What You Should Know Before Renting Lounge Furniture
May 16, 2025
Lounge furniture brings comfort, style, and sophistication to any event. Whether you're hosting a wedding, cocktail hour, or private dinner party, lounge seating creates a relaxed atmosphere that encourages guests to mingle, unwind, and enjoy the moment.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we’re excited to announce that our lounge furniture collection is coming soon. We’re curating a stylish, high-end selection that blends modern design with maximum comfort — perfect for backyard parties, indoor venues, or luxury pop-ups.
Before adding lounge pieces to your next event, it’s important to plan your space with intention. Lounge areas should enhance the layout, not block it. Position seating near the bar, dance floor, or quieter corners where guests can retreat and chat. These areas also make for great photo backdrops.
Design is everything. Our upcoming collection will include pieces like the Azure Modular Lounge, ideal for contemporary events. Choosing furniture that aligns with your event’s color palette and vibe makes a huge difference in the final look.
Layering is key. Mix and match lounge sofas, ottomans, accent chairs, and side tables to create depth and dimension. These flexible pieces allow you to define a cozy space or create an open, editorial-style lounge. Add small details like pillows or a floral arrangement to tie everything together.
It’s also important to consider spacing. Lounge furniture takes up more room than traditional seating, so make sure your layout allows for easy flow and accessibility. If you're unsure what fits, we’ll be offering layout planning support and optional site visits when the collection launches.
Lighting and decor elevate the experience even further. Battery-powered lanterns, string lights, and hedge walls can help frame your lounge area and make it feel more intimate. These subtle details take your event from functional to unforgettable.
Lounge furniture isn’t just seating — it’s part of the atmosphere. It adds texture, encourages interaction, and gives your event a polished, thoughtful feel. With our upcoming collection, Prestige Rentals NYC will make it easier than ever to bring that vision to life.
Want to be among the first to access our lounge offerings? Reach out to join our waitlist and stay updated as our newest inventory arrives.
Top 5 Backyard Event Essentials for a Seamless Setup
May 15, 2025
Backyard events offer flexibility, intimacy, and charm — but to pull off a successful outdoor gathering, you need the right rental essentials. Whether you’re planning a birthday dinner, engagement party, or casual get-together, the right pieces can make all the difference in comfort, flow, and style.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we specialize in transforming everyday outdoor spaces into fully styled event environments. With the right rentals, your backyard can look and feel like a high-end venue.
Start with shade. Our 9ft patio umbrellas — the Santorini in ivory and Mykonos in white — are functional and beautiful. These clean, modern umbrellas provide excellent coverage for sunny days and add a resort-like feel to your space. Each comes with a matching weighted base to keep things secure on grass, patios, or pavement.
Lounge seating is another major upgrade, offering guests a place to relax, chat, and enjoy the vibe. While our lounge furniture collection is coming soon, we’re curating pieces like the sculptural Hive Chair and Azure Modular Lounge to help elevate outdoor layouts. Even a small lounge area adds luxury and dimension to your event design.
Tables and chairs are, of course, a must. For backyard events, we recommend our 48” or 60” round tables paired with white padded folding chairs. They’re lightweight, easy to set up, and provide a clean, uniform look that works in any setting. The right table size ensures comfort without overcrowding your layout.
Boxwood hedge walls are a smart way to create privacy, structure, and photo-worthy backdrops. Our 4x8x2ft hedges can be used to partition driveways, hide unsightly areas, or frame lounge spaces and bars. They’re especially useful in city backyards or multifunctional outdoor spaces.
Finally, complete your setup with key accessories. Cocktail tables encourage mingling and flow. Portable bars make self-serve or staff-operated stations simple. And lighting — from battery-powered floor lamps to soft string lights — extends the night and sets the mood.
Weather can be unpredictable, so we also offer rain insurance. This gives you the option to apply your rental credit to a future date if rain interferes with your plans, helping you protect your investment and maintain flexibility.
With the right rentals, your backyard becomes more than just a space — it becomes an experience. Prestige Rentals NYC is here to help you create an effortless setup that looks beautiful and feels even better.
Your Guide to Table Sizes & Seating Capacity for Any Event
May 14, 2025
When planning an event, table size might seem like a minor detail — but it has a major impact on your layout, guest comfort, and overall flow. Choosing the right tables helps maximize your space and ensures everyone has enough room to dine, chat, and enjoy the experience.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we carry a full range of round and rectangular tables to suit everything from intimate backyard parties to formal galas. Understanding seating capacity is key when deciding which tables to rent.
Smaller round tables like the 24” and 30” are great for cocktail-style events or small café setups. They typically seat 3 to 4 guests comfortably and are often used for standing areas or lounges where food and drinks are served casually.
Mid-sized rounds — such as 36” and 42” tables — offer flexibility for events like baby showers, birthdays, and dinner parties. These seat 5 to 6 guests and are perfect for more intimate gatherings without taking up too much space.
For larger receptions and formal dining, 60” and 72” round tables are the most popular. A 60” round comfortably seats 8 guests, while a 72” round can seat up to 10. These are ideal for weddings, banquets, and corporate dinners where full meals are served.
Rectangular tables also serve a key role, especially in tighter spaces or for more structured layouts. A 6-foot table typically seats 6 to 8 guests, while an 8-foot table can seat 8 to 10. These are commonly used for head tables, buffets, and conference-style seating.
For more creative setups, serpentine tables offer a unique shape that’s perfect for bar stations, curved buffets, or lounge arrangements. Our 5.5-foot serpentine tables are a favorite among event designers who want to add flow and flexibility to their layout.
As a rule of thumb, always leave at least 36 inches between tables to allow for chairs and guest movement. If you’re unsure what fits your space best, we offer layout planning and site visits to help you make the most informed choice.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we don’t just deliver tables — we help you create a layout that works. From seating charts to linen pairings, we’re here to make sure your event feels as good as it looks.
Tips for Making Your Event Equipment Rental Go Smoothly
May 13, 2025
Renting equipment for your event should be one of the easiest parts of your planning process — but only if it’s done right. From tables and chairs to staging, lighting, and accessories, making a few smart choices upfront can save you time, money, and stress later.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we’ve helped clients with everything from intimate backyard gatherings to high-profile galas. Here are some tried-and-true tips to ensure your event equipment rental experience goes as smoothly as possible.
Start early. The best way to secure the exact pieces you want is to plan ahead — especially during peak seasons like spring and fall. Waiting too long can limit your options or lead to last-minute substitutions. Reach out as soon as you have a date and general guest count so we can start planning together.
Know your space. Before placing an order, it helps to know the size of your venue, layout restrictions, and access points. If you’re unsure, we offer site surveys to take measurements and make recommendations. This prevents common issues like oversized tables in tight areas or underestimating how much shade or lounge seating you’ll need.
Stick with one vendor when possible. Coordinating rentals across multiple companies increases the risk of missed deliveries or mismatched styles. At Prestige Rentals NYC, we carry a full line of furniture, tables, seating, umbrellas, and soon lounge pieces — so you can build your whole setup through a single, trusted source.
Confirm delivery details in advance. Be clear about timing, access to the venue, and any special instructions like stairs, elevators, or restricted loading zones. This helps avoid delays and ensures our team can deliver and set up efficiently.
Think beyond the basics. Once your essentials are booked, consider the extras that elevate your event: cocktail tables for mingling, lounge areas for comfort, lighting to extend the night, or a boxwood hedge to create a focal point. These small additions often make the biggest impact.
Ask questions and communicate. We’re here to help you choose the right items, quantities, and layout. Don’t hesitate to ask for advice — we’ve seen it all and can guide you through options that suit your theme, space, and budget.
And finally, don’t skip setup and breakdown. While it’s an optional service, letting our team handle the logistics ensures your event starts on time and ends without a mess. You get to focus on enjoying the moment while we handle the heavy lifting.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, our goal is to make your rental process seamless, from the first quote to final pickup. With proper planning and the right support, your event can look beautiful and run smoothly from start to finish.
Do I Need a Damage Waiver? What Every Client Should Know Before Renting
May 12, 2025
When you're planning an event, you're juggling a hundred moving parts — from guest lists and decor to delivery windows and timelines. The last thing you want to worry about is what happens if something breaks. That’s where a damage waiver comes in.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we include a mandatory 7% damage waiver on all rentals. It’s designed to give you peace of mind while protecting your investment — and ours. The waiver covers up to 15% of your total rental value for accidental damage caused during normal use.
This means if a chair leg snaps on uneven ground, or if a table gets scratched during setup, you're covered. Spills, scuffs, and other small issues that come with hosting a live event won’t cost you extra. It allows your event to flow naturally without the fear of being charged for every minor mishap.
However, not everything is covered. The damage waiver does not apply to missing or stolen items, damage from extreme weather (unless you've added rain insurance), or anything caused by negligence or misuse. If an item is damaged beyond the 15% coverage limit, the remaining cost will be billed separately.
We made the waiver mandatory because it helps protect both parties. You won’t have to deal with unexpected fees after the event, and we can maintain high-quality inventory for every client. It also eliminates awkward disputes and makes the entire rental experience smoother and more predictable.
If your event is outdoors, we also recommend considering our rain insurance. It allows you to credit your full rental amount toward a future date if the weather forces a cancellation — giving you flexibility without losing your deposit.
Accidents happen. With a damage waiver in place, you can relax and focus on your event. At Prestige Rentals NYC, we believe great service includes making sure your rental experience is as stress-free as possible.
The Real Cost of Skipping Setup and Breakdown Services
May 10, 2025
When planning an event, it's easy to focus on the rentals and overlook the labor that comes with them. Tables, chairs, umbrellas, and decor don’t set themselves up — and doing it all on your own can quickly turn into a logistical headache. That’s why professional setup and breakdown services are one of the smartest add-ons you can choose.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we offer optional setup and breakdown services to save you time, stress, and last-minute scrambling. It’s not just about convenience — it’s about protecting your investment, your venue, and your peace of mind.
Improper setup is one of the most common ways items get damaged. A Chiavari chair dragged across pavement or a table forced into a tight corner can lead to scratches, breaks, or accidents. Our trained crew knows how to handle inventory correctly, making sure everything looks polished and professional from the moment guests arrive.
Time is another major factor. What might seem like a quick setup can take hours without experience or extra hands. Many venues have strict delivery and pickup windows, and mismanaging timing can delay your event. When you book our team, we handle everything efficiently — so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Doing it yourself also means you take on the role of problem solver. What happens if you realize you're short a table? Or if chairs don’t fit the layout? Our crew checks inventory and catches issues early. If something’s off, we fix it before the first guest walks in.
And let’s be honest — nobody wants to break down tables and stack chairs after a long night of celebrating. With breakdown service, our team returns to handle it all so you can relax, clean up stress-free, or enjoy a final toast with your guests.
Our setup and breakdown pricing is transparent and quote-based, depending on the size and complexity of the order. We never sneak in hidden fees — just clear communication and reliable support.
Setup service isn’t just for large weddings or corporate events. Even backyard parties and small dinners benefit from having a crew that knows exactly what to do. It’s one less thing for you to worry about — and one more reason your event runs smoothly from start to finish.
Let Prestige Rentals NYC handle the heavy lifting. You focus on the celebration — we’ll take care of the rest.
Safety Tips for Using a Bouncy House at Your Event
May 9, 2025
Bouncy houses bring instant fun to any event — from kids’ birthdays to school functions and backyard parties. They’re exciting, colorful, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. But as fun as they are, safety needs to come first. With the right setup and a few key precautions, you can ensure your inflatable rental adds joy without risk.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we take safety seriously when it comes to our inflatable rentals. Here’s what you should know before and during your event to keep everyone safe and smiling.
Start with a flat, open area. Bouncy houses need to be placed on level ground that’s free from sharp objects, rocks, or debris. Grass is ideal, but driveways or patios can work too if the surface is clean and there's enough clearance. We’ll help you determine the best placement during delivery.
Always anchor the unit properly. Every inflatable must be secured with stakes or sandbags, depending on the surface. This prevents the unit from tipping or shifting during play, especially on windy days. Our team handles all anchoring during setup and won’t leave until the unit is fully secure.
Supervision is non-negotiable. Never leave children unattended inside a bouncy house. Assign an adult to monitor the activity at all times, ensuring guests follow basic rules like no flips, no overcrowding, and no shoes. Clear instructions go a long way in preventing injuries.
Respect the age and size limits. Bouncy houses are safest when used by children of similar sizes. Mixing older, heavier kids with toddlers can lead to unintentional bumps or falls. If you have a wide range of ages attending, consider setting time slots so everyone gets a safe turn.
Watch the weather. High winds or heavy rain can make inflatable use unsafe. Our team will help you make the call if weather conditions are questionable. And if you opt for our rain insurance, you’ll have the flexibility to reschedule or credit your rental for a future date.
Unplug only when instructed. Once the bouncy house is inflated and in use, the blower must remain running and plugged in the entire time. Turning it off without deflating it properly can create collapse risks. We'll show you exactly how to shut things down safely after the event.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, every inflatable is sanitized and inspected before and after use. We’re committed to providing safe, clean, and fun experiences — and we’re here to walk you through every step of setup and safety.
A little preparation goes a long way. With the right precautions, a bouncy house can be the highlight of your event — safe, exciting, and unforgettable for every guest.
Chiavari Chair Materials and Colors: Pros, Cons, and Event Types
May 7, 2025
Chiavari chairs are a timeless favorite for weddings, galas, and upscale events — and for good reason. Their elegant silhouette, lightweight frame, and color variety make them one of the most versatile seating options in the event industry. But not all Chiavari chairs are the same. Understanding the differences in materials and finishes can help you select the perfect style for your next event.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, all of our Chiavari chairs come with a complimentary white or black cushion and are maintained to look as pristine as the day they arrived. Let’s break down the materials and colors to help you decide what fits your event best.
Resin Chiavari chairs are a popular choice for their durability and smooth finish. They resist scratches, won’t chip like wood, and hold up well outdoors. If your event includes high foot traffic or setup on uneven ground, resin is a reliable option. They have a consistent look and are easy to clean, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Clear acrylic Chiavari chairs are a modern, high-end twist on the classic style. These are perfect for clients who want an elevated, almost “invisible” seating option that doesn’t distract from the rest of the design. They photograph beautifully and are great for luxury weddings, rooftop events, or contemporary venues. The only downside is that fingerprints and smudges can show more easily, so they require careful handling.
When it comes to color, each tone helps set a different mood. Gold is the most requested and brings a regal, elegant feel — ideal for formal weddings or upscale galas. White Chiavaris provide a clean, crisp look that works for garden parties, modern setups, and bridal showers. Black adds sophistication and is often used for corporate events, formal dinners, or minimalist aesthetics.
Choosing the right material and color depends on your venue, lighting, and overall event theme. A rustic barn wedding might call for a natural wood finish, while a luxury rooftop dinner could benefit from clear or gold resin.
At Prestige Rentals NYC, we inspect every Chiavari chair after each rental and replace aging inventory frequently — ensuring that what you receive is event-ready, structurally sound, and visually flawless.
Whether you're designing a grand ballroom or a stylish backyard affair, we’re here to help you find the right seating that complements your vision and enhances your guest experience.
