The holidays are upon us and you know what that means; Aunt Marg and Uncle Louis will stop by unexpectedly, shopping will undoubtedly turn into a girls night and you will be asked to host a last minute dinner for your family and 15 of their closest friends! We have all heard of this story and how stressful hosting a huge dinner can get especially at this time of the year where there are so many other things that we want to get done.

No one wants to get stuck on dish duty, or have to iron the linen napkins on top of having to prepare the meals for the get together.

We understand and are totally familiar with this feeling! At Handy Special Events, we want to make it less of a pain for you to entertain this holiday season. We have your rentals covered from cutlery to dishes, tables to table cloths, centerpieces to chairs and everything in between. All you have left to do is focus on spending quality time with your guests.

Talk to us today about your hassle-free holiday entertaining!

When it comes to finding a venue for your big day, sometimes you luck out and come across a place that requires very little décor. For the majority of venues, this is not the case. The trend of getting married in halls, curling rinks, and community centres is still very much alive due to a lower rental cost and ample space for a large guest list.

Some spaces need a little something extra to set the mood for a reception and that is where drape, lighting, and ceiling décor come into play! Depending on your theme and the tone you want to set for the evening, the lighting you choose will play a big role. If you are going for fun, flirty, and exciting, you might want to choose coloured lights as your perimeter lighting. This will give the room a playful feel. If you are trying to set an elegant, romantic mood, you probably want to stick to soft natural glowing tones to give the room a dreamy, glamourous ambience.

Another great décor piece that won’t take up much room is perimeter drape. This comes in pretty much any color imaginable and can really transform a space quickly. Whether you are wanting to cover up ugly walls, or simply give the space a facelift, drape is an amazing and simple way to do so!

The last major way to transform a space is to add ceiling décor. Ceiling swag is a very popular way to give your guests the feeling that they are enclosed in a soft, billowy wedding cloud. Chandeliers can add the air of luxury and charm. Depending on their placement, they can really set the mood for special moment in during the night. Imagine a 4 tiered crystal chandelier sparkling over head as you and your love take the floor for your first dance!
