Making Holiday Entertaining Easier

Planning to entertain this holiday season? Hosting a large group of family, friends, coworkers or clients isn't easy. You want to make the event comfortable for all guests, part of which is making it as easy as possible for the host.

Hosting a large group of any kind requires planning, set up, execution and clean up. Perhaps the party is hors devours and cocktails? Maybe you have a caterer in mind for that, or something heartier?

Maybe you are a home chef and you are preparing and serving the food yourself? Whatever the experience you provide your guests, a full-service party rental center provides drop-off or setup service as well as take down or pickup service.

Your home may have a large enough kitchen, or even a Butler's kitchen which can help service cocktails. But, perhaps you are planning on hiring a bartender for the evening. Consider renting a bar with cocktail tables or hidden area with stylish lounge furniture and tables.

Perhaps you don't have the glassware or any of the items a bartender would need to handle all the guests. Quality barware, including beer and wine glasses, can readily be rented, delivered and picked up.

If you are planning to have roving platters of food, a buffet table regularly filled or dining tables to provide a more intimate environment, consider renting everything you need.

Reputable party rental companies provide set up as well as take down no matter the size or location of your party.

Consider renting serving platters to provide a uniform look and ensure nothing of your own breaks. Chafing and serving dishes, too. Linens, tableware and stemware can all be rented, dropped off or set up, take down or pickup.

If you are preparing your own food, and have a large number of people, instead of overloading your home ovens consider renting a propane convection oven, a deep fryer and pots and pans you may need to create a variety of food throughout the day.

Presentation is also key, which may mean renting heat lamps to keep food warm or a large grill to prepare food as needed outside the house so there is fresh, warm grilled food on the fly.

No matter the holiday party you are looking to pull off, a reputable, reliable and experienced party rental store such as Ultimate Events can make your job easier.
