There’s something magical about a backyard wedding—the intimacy, the charm, and the freedom to make it your own. But while these weddings can be stunning and memorable, they also require some serious planning, especially when it comes to rentals. At Martinez Party Rentals, we’re here to take the stress out of your big day and help you create the perfect backyard wedding setup. From tents to table linens, here’s your ultimate checklist to make sure nothing gets overlooked!
1. Tents & Canopies
Don’t leave your guests (or your dress!) at the mercy of the weather. A tent is an essential part of any backyard wedding, whether you’re protecting against sun or rain.
✅ We recommend:
- 20×40 or 20×60 Frame Tents for medium-sized weddings
- Sidewalls for added privacy and weather protection
- Tent lighting like globe string lights or chandeliers to create that romantic ambiance
2. Tables & Chairs
Your guests need a comfortable place to sit, dine, and toast to your new life together.
✅ We offer:
- Round tables (60”) – perfect for dinner receptions
- Rectangular banquet tables – great for buffet setups or head tables
- White folding chairs or elegant padded chairs for added comfort and style
💡 Pro Tip: Don’t forget a sweetheart table just for the bride and groom!
3. Linens & Tableware
Linens bring your color scheme to life and add that polished, professional look to your reception space.
✅ Browse our selection of:
- Tablecloths, runners, and overlays in a wide range of colors and textures
- Napkins and chair sashes to match your wedding theme
- Plates, glassware, and flatware to complete your dining setup
4. Dance Floor & Sound Equipment
What’s a wedding without dancing? Whether you’re hiring a DJ or just creating a curated playlist, we’ve got what you need.
✅ Popular picks:
- Outdoor dance floors (custom sizes available)
- PA systems and microphones for speeches, music, and announcements
- Bluetooth speakers for smaller, more casual affairs
5. Decor & Extras
Add your personal touch with decorative rentals that elevate your wedding experience.
✅ We recommend considering:
- Arches & backdrops for your ceremony or photo ops
- Bar setups or drink dispensers for self-serve stations
- Lighting enhancements like LED uplights or fairy lights
- Cooling units or patio heaters depending on the season
Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget About the “Unseen” Essentials
Behind-the-scenes rentals are just as important for a smooth event. Think:
- Trash bins
- Restroom trailers
- Generators (if power is limited)
