Ask The Celebration Advisor: My husband and I just moved to New York City. I wouldn’t call us “bumpkin” but we’d never heard of a difference between party rentals and wedding rentals. They were just lumped together. Not to sound like an idiot when we plan our next party, what’s the difference? ~ Anna Claire in New York NY
The Celebration Advisor: Congrats on the move! New York is a wonderful place to live or to visit. My personal favorite thing to do is to go to parties there. Let me tell you, New Yorkers know how to throw a great party! Their weddings also tend to be quite special so here’s what you need to know to separate the two:
Party rentals in New York NY center around things that would make the party fun. People in New York love to be entertained. That’s a given. Party rentals for parties in New York would be things like bounce house rentals (for parties in the ‘burbs), entertainment rentals (video games, movies, music), animal rentals for outdoor parties, and other things that set the party apart. It could also be something as simple as party supplies such as helium tanks for blowing up balloons.
Wedding rentals are for more popular among New Yorkers. Wedding rentals are a big deal to people in New York City because of the city’s reputation for high style and trend-setting savoir faire. For this reason, you would be more interested in bone china rentals, crystal glass and stemware rentals, real silverware rentals, chair and table rentals, and linen rentals that would include napkins, tablecloths and chair covers. These are more upscale items that form an instant impression with wedding guests.
Hope that helps! Enjoy your stay in New York and please return to Wedding And Party Network to share pictures of the next weddings and parties you attend!
