Party Rentals
Planning a party—whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, birthday celebration, or community festival—comes with a long checklist. The venue, catering, entertainment, and décor all matter, but one essential ingredient ties it all together: party rentals. From tents and tables to lighting and dance floors, renting the right equipment ensures your event is functional, beautiful, and unforgettable.
At SOHO Events and Rentals, we specialize in creating stunning, customized events across Alabama and the Gulf Coast region. With locations in both Birmingham and Fairhope, our team provides full-service party rentals to clients throughout the state—and we travel up to 200 miles in every direction. Whether you’re planning a wedding in Montgomery, a corporate gala in Tuscaloosa, or a beachfront celebration in Destin, Florida, SOHO has you covered.
In this post, we’ll explore the world of party rentals—what they include, why they matter, and how SOHO makes your event vision come to life.
