We at Executive Furniture Rentals are big fans of special event furnishings in Toronto.  Why?  Because that means there’s a special event in our city, which we love for several reasons.  First off, we enthusiastically support the opportunity to showcase our fine city in the best possible light.  What better way to show off our dynamic, booming city than by hosting an important event within its limits?  On a slightly more personal note, we enjoy any special events we find ourselves invited to simply because we love the chance to meet new people and share ideas.  Ultimately, however, special events in our city provides us with an opportunity to help out—an opportunity, we might add, that we relish.

Here are some tips to make sure your special event runs along smoothly and successfully.

First, and most importantly, you will need to consider your audience.  What sort of group is your special event for, and what is its purpose?  A summit of prominent local businessmen will be very different in tone and expectation than one for comic book enthusiasts.  Both of those, in turn, will be different than a social media-based meetup.

Once you’ve carefully considered your audience, you can then work out your budget.  Your budget will be able to determine how you can implement the goals for your event.  After you have both your audience and your budget clearly rendered, it is much easier to begin making sure your event is a success.

As for furniture?  That, you can leave to us.  We here at Executive Furniture Rentals have an lengthy and winning track record when it comes to providing special events in Toronto with the right amount and kind of furnishings that the occasion demands.  Whether your event is large or small, formal or relaxed, we’ll be able to draw upon our rich experience and extensive selection of furnishings to make your event—whatever it may be—a rousing success.

Great news for those who are into the fashion scene: This coming week, from October 18th to the 23rd, is Toronto Fashion Week.  With its throngs of fashionistas watching models strut their stuff down catwalks, what a special event furnishings bonanza it will be!

…Well, maybe that’s not the first thing you all would think, but forgive us if we think of things in terms of our lines of work—after all, we’re pretty passionate about it!  In fairness to the event, Toronto Fashion Week will be a spectacular showing of the most imaginative and most provocative trends in fashion.  It draws quite a crowd, which means there will be plenty of opportunities for special event furnishings to shine.

Planning a corporate event can be a staggeringly difficult process, one in which renting special event furnishing is only a small part.  For example, a space big enough to hold the event in has to be secured or rented.  Speakers or vendors, depending on the nature of the event, also need to be planned and organized.  If there are a lot of attendees coming from out of town, transportation and accommodation might need to be arranged, or at least planned.  Catering might need to be taken into consideration, as well.  The list goes on.

Thankfully, if your event happens to be in our neck of the woods, we can do our part to make at least one part of your even worry-free.  Executive Furniture Rentals is the way to go for special event furnishing in Toronto.

You want everything to go smoothly and work out perfectly during your event.  We understand that, and have the experience, expertise, and furniture necessary to make any function a success.

Executive Furniture Rentals: Beyond Event Furniture

Though special event furniture is what this post was about, we’re also the place to go for furniture for hire in Toronto.  Whether your budget is large or small, your need tiny or massive, we’ll be able to lend a helping hand.  That’s what we’re here for!

You may go to a special event or trade show and see gorgeous white leather seating & tables, acrylic chairs or funky bar tables and chairs.  Chances are they have used furniture rental.  When you go to that fund raiser that has 1000 beautiful cloth covered chairs or to a corporate product launch that has the most unique theatre seating or space age tables and lights, chances are that is also all thanks to furniture rental.  Furniture rental is an integral part of any special event.  Show contractors, exhibit managers, hotel catering departments, meeting planners, corporate special events and so many more professionals depend on the furniture rental industry to supply modern, unique product that can produce the “WOW” at any event.

If you are exhibiting in a show, your show contractor or manager will always have a standard variety of furnishings available for rent.  If you are looking for the “unique” or different look from everybody else, calling local independent furniture rental companies may be your best bet.  Initiate your search by seeing what products they have online.  Make sure they are reputable and that their business specializes in trades shows and special events.  Get references.  Don’t be shy to ask.  Also make sure that whichever furniture rental company you choose, that they can deliver and pick up.

So what’s new in exhibit product lines?  Certainly modern is in.  Bright colours, as opposed to the black and gray that dominate specialty furniture for decades.  Furniture with curved, instead of boxy design and seating with no arms for flexibility purposes.  The reality of today’s furniture market is an Italian designed product, say a sofa, can be displayed at the Milan Furniture Show and three weeks later it is available for export from Asia for 1/3 the cost.  The exhibitor, in the end, usually wins.  I should mention that another current trend is that furniture rental companies are beginning to assist their clients with space planning and CAD design.  (Cort Trade Show Furnishings in the United States is pioneering this service).

I have a lot of respect for those in the exhibit and special events industry.  What I enjoy the most is the passion everyone in it has.  As the old adage goes, “There is no business like show business!”
