We want to send a special thank you to all the Chamber members who attended our Business After Hours this past weekend! It was a hit and wouldn’t have been so successful without you! We had no idea that we could make our warehouse look like a nightclub, but it looked great!

Keep DPR in mind for this upcoming party season! We have a few new products in our inventory. Don’t let food poisoning be the party favor at your event! Our new “Chillin” table lets you keep perishable foods on ice! Fresh oysters, shrimp cocktail….no problem!!! We also have some amazing new lights for our cabaret tables!

Here in southewest Colorado, particularly in the spring of the year, one can expect to hear the old addage “If you don’t like the weather, wait ten minutes.” Here at Durango Party Rental, we are ready to take the guess work out of your event by providing one of our beautifully appointed event tents to help you rest at ease that Mother Nature will not be raining on your parade. As we are beginning to make preparations for our summer wedding season, we are acquiring some fantastic new accessories to accompany our tents which will add the finishing touches to any wedding or special event.

We now have the ability to provide a truly lovely translucent ceiling lining for the interior of our Century Pole Tents. The liner will provide your tent with a soft, romantic ambiance for your guests to enjoy on your special day.

We are also able to provide several different styles of lighting for the interior of your tent. Our beautiful Cafe Chandeliers cast a romantic glow over your entire event when paired with our delicate Starlight Streamers. If your taste happens to be a bit more minimalistic, we now carry a lighting system which allows us to utilize a circular bracket with LED lights to create a radiant “wash” of light in the color of your choice…a spectacular option for those revelers looking to add an extra touch of flair to an event! For an added kiss of lighting to your tabletops, we are offering a series of LED light ”Flicker Votives.” These innovative lights reflect the ambiance you would achieve by lighting candles…with none of the messy wax drips and no threat of them burning out or blowing out in gusty weather. Each LED flicker light provides the warm and inviting light of a candle for up to 12 hours at the flip of a switch! They are available in standard frosted glass votives, or seated upon pedestals which vary in height. Any of these lighting options are available for your wedding or special event and our professional staff is always eager to help you decide which will best suit your needs.

To add that spectacular final touch to the rest of your event, we have expanded our linen inventory to include a wide variety of different sizes, styles, colors, and fabrics! Nothing will make your guests feel more warmly welcomed in to your event than to be seated in one of our crisp clean event tents, at a beautifully appointed table with fantastic linens in your special colors and dining over the radiant glow of our flicker votives!!

Be it a radiant sunny day, a breezy afternoon, or a blustery spring day complete with snowflakes, Durango Party Rental will provide an exceptional atmosphere which will keep your guests raving about your event for years to come!

Springtime is quickly approaching here in Southwest Colorado and we are beginning to field a multitude of calls from brides-to-be in the initial stages of planning their ceremonies and receptions. We are always eager to answer questions which make that planning process easier!

The most frequently asked questions are regarding the space necessary to accommodate wedding guests. “How many people can I fit at a table?” “How many tables do I need for this many guests?” What size tent will I need for all of my guests?” We carry a variety of table sizes and shapes to help you create the perfect atmosphere on your big day. Typically, we use our 5′ round tables for guest seating, although we carry 4’rounds as well. The 5′ round tables will accommodate 8 people comfortably or 10 people intimately. One five foot round table with chairs takes up roughly 100 square feet of space. You may choose a different style of dining, in which all guests are seated on both sides of very long rectangular tables. These are great for more interactive menu selections, like a cajun boil, or a family style meal. We have both 6′ and 8′ rectangular tables, which may be used together to create a warm and welcoming long table setting for your guests to enjoy! An 8′ rectangular table will provide enough space to seat 4 guests comfortably on each side. To dress the tables you choose, we provide a beautiful selection of high quality specialty linens, available in a wide array of brilliant colors to create the perfect accent for your wedding reception. If you are leaning towards a more casual “cocktail party” atmosphere for your reception, we also carry 2 varieties of ‘cabaret’ or bistro tables. Our cabaret tables are 30″ rounds, and can either be a standard 28″ high, or to add a variation in height, 42″ high. They are a fun and festive accent to your event when paired with our barstools, and our popular portable bar!

We know that each couple has their own unique style, and wants their wedding to reflect that personal style. Here at Durango Party Rental, we are committed to providing the necessary wedding and event accessories to let that personalized style shine through on your special day! Call us to see how we can help outfit your event for success!
