Weather Worries

Weather Back Up Tent.jpg

Hey y’all, welcome back! Today's topic is one that can cause stress on anyone planning an out event. You guessed it... weather. Due to its unpredictable nature, weather can be difficult to plan for. Because of this, event professionals have adapted and created what the industry refers to as a “weather backup plan”.

No matter where your event is located geographically, you will need to take the weather into consideration when planning your outdoor event. Here in the South, our weather is especially unpredictable. We contend with heat, humidity, and thunderstorms. These weather conditions are heightened in the spring and summer months. If you are planning an event during the fall or winter seasons, you will need to consider cold temperatures and the potential for rain.

Our goal at SOHO is to assist you in developing a weather backup plan from the very beginning that still works with the vision for the event. Once we have an idea of your vision for your special event and the details of when and where it will be held, we will discuss the potential need for a weather backup plan. The first step is to understand your different tenting options. We have the largest tent inventory on the Gulf Coast and pride ourselves on having a variety of different options and sizes when it comes to tenting! We understand the importance of keeping your event design intact, even if you decide to move forward with your weather backup plan.

Once you have selected your tent option, we will walk you through other potential rentals you may need when considering different weather factors. Again, the location and season of your event will influence these selections. These could be numerous options including: sidewalls, gutters, lighting, draping, walkways, heaters, fans, or even thermostat controlled heating or cooling.

Until next time, Cheers!

Table Talk

Acrylic+Table+%282%29.jpg

Hey y’all and welcome back! Here at SOHO, we carry many different types of tables, including acrylic dining tables, communal tables, farm tables, farm table bistros, and many more! Whether traditional guest seating or more cocktail style, chances are you will see one of these tables at an event of any size! 

Let's start with our acrylic dining tables. These acrylic tables are 8’ in length, giving you plenty of room to seat 8 to 10 guests. The width is 42”, giving great space for place settings and centerpieces. The clean lines give it a modern feel with an element of glam! This table pairs beautifully with our louis pop chair or ghost chair. This specialty table can also be customized for your specific event. Your options for customization are endless!

You can find the next table at almost any wedding or social event. Bistros are a popular table because they are smaller and can be placed strategically to provide additional surfaces places for your guests to “perch”. You will often find these tables near the dancefloor or bar as they are great for socialization and mingling for your guests. Using solid or patterned linen on your bistro tables is a fun way to make them stand out and bring together your event design!

Another great option is our white wood communal table. It is 8’ in length so it can be used as additional guest seating without having to use a standard banquet table and chairs. The table height is the same as that of a bistro table, 42”, allowing you to incorporate barstool seating. These tables look great framing a dancefloor or along the perimeter of your event space!

Let’s talk about farm tables! These wooden tables are very popular among our brides and clients looking for a specialty table versus a table with linen. Available in four sizes; square 36”x36”, 6’ rectangle, 7’ rectangle, and an 8’ rectangle. We are certain you will be able to find a size that is perfect for your table needs.

We love to see the farm tables at events of any size, from small dinner parties to large weddings! Farm tables are a beautiful option for guest seating. You can even mix them in with tables with linen! The wood texture and rich stain bring warmth to the design of your event. Pairs nicely with our oakwood crossback chairs and upholstered louis chairs.

We have a large table inventory and many different tables options to chose from when planning your event! As always, if you are in need of rentals for any event, reach out to us! We would love to work with you! Cheers!
