branson party rentals

small business with big talent

Working as a wedding planner overseas , Sarah Rein had access to a wide variety of items to create magical weddings for her clients . However when she started helping friends plan their weddings here in the Branson / Springfield area , Sarah was having trouble finding the beautiful , quality pieces that she needed . In 2012 , she took the leap and started Branson Party Rentals offering the highest caliber rental items and now has amassed an extensive collection to choose from . Then in 2013 , Sarah and her husband acquired Rosewood Floral and now offer a one-stop shop for all of your wedding needs from party rental , to floral and even event design . Creating events from the ground up is their specialty . From a cohesive design , accurate measurements and making sure everything is exactly what you want and beautiful – Sarah is a self-proclaimed , neat-freak perfectionist . She likes everything clean and orderly .
One of her favorite wedding memories when all the details came together perfectly , happened when a bride was supposed to get married at a large venue , but then the pandemic hit . The bride ’ s father had passed away recently and as a way to still honor him and still feel his presence at her wedding , the bride moved the wedding to the backyard of her childhood home . The couple decreased the guest count to allow for proper social distancing and worked with Sarah and her team to create the most beautiful , greenery draped tent and venue in their backyard . It was an incredibly touching ceremony and Branson Party Rentals felt honored to be a part of this special event .

Sarah ’ s advice to engaged couples is to book early ! First secure your venue , then come secure your rentals . You do not need a final headcount until a month before the wedding , but you do need a reservation to avoid any hiccups like shipping delays , finding crucial items and one-of-kind pieces . If you wait too long you might not be able to get what you need , or have to go and either make or purchase things yourself , adding stress and expense to your big day .
Branson Party Rentals prides themselves on staying on top of the latest trends . One up-and-coming trend Sarah sees are glamping tents ( you have to see these upscale tents to believe it ). The bride and groom might have an outdoor wedding set up at a beautiful space , and then offer a more “ all inclusive experience ” to their guests by having glamping tents set up at the property for the guests to stay in overnight . While some couples might have to decrease their guest count to accomplish this , it certainly makes for a memorable , unique wedding . Innovative ideas and high quality items distinguish Branson Party Rentals . Even though this is a small family-owned business , Branson Party Rentals and Rosewood Floral operate like a large corporation ; very organized and detail driven .

favorite ' wow factor ' item :

Chairs ! Chairs can make or break a design ! They can tie an entire plan together . But if you have cheap , uncomfortable , unattractive chairs , your guests will not be happy and you will not achieve the look you are after .
