This gorgeous wedding at Sparrow Beginnings is a favorite for so many reasons. First, Maria and her family were so great to work with from the very first time we met them! Second, it’s always a pleasure working with great professionals - especially when you have a lot of work to do in a short amount of time. Stephyn, owner and lead planner at Southern Charm Events not only spearheaded a great design process, but a smooth installation for one of our most complex room flips to date!  Maria wanted to use this gorgeous venue to its fullest, for both the ceremony and reception. And, she brought in rentals to customize the space completely - so there was a lot to do!

Featured Item: Gold Chiavari Chair

We love this image where the couple exchange a happy kiss right after their recessional. Their guests still seated and the wedding party still at the altar, they share a private moment in a room filled with people. And what you can’t see, is that our full service crew is waiting in the wings to quickly transform this same space into a glamorous reception!

Our team set up for the ceremony and then we returned and transformed the space in under an hour - with time to spare for Redeemed Productions to take amazing pictures of the space. Here, our gold chiavari’s silently sit in the sunlight filled room, waiting for the arrival of guests.

And 45 minutes later, tables have been set up, linens thrown, chairs reset and dishes placed. We were honored to work alongside The Fleuriste’s crew who quickly reset the aisle florals onto the tables as centerpieces. Voila! It’s amazing what magic can be accomplished with a good plan!

The reception was full of gorgeous details and fun for a party that didn’t stop until well into the next morning. Who wasn’t in awe over this elegant cake by Mishelle Handy Cakes, flanked by The Fleuriste’s gorgeous florals and set against the floral draped grand staircase? Set in the very same spot the bride had walked down to meet her groom an hour earlier.

Featured Item: Peach and Sequin Copper Linen Sheer over Candlelight Glo Satin

 Every place setting was luxuriously appointed. Regardless of the tight timeline, no details were spared in design or execution. Here, the Bride’s place setting is highlighted with a sweet place card.

Featured item: Divine Gold Charger | Pearl Lace Ivory Linen | Caprice Cognac Linen

This party lasted well into the next morning, full of captivating entertainment and energy! We couldn’t have been more honored to be entrusted to setting the stage for all this joyous celebration!

Oh, and did we mention that all this happened under the duress of a rain plan?! It didn’t dampen spirits one bit, nor did it throw us or any of the other pros off track.

There is no denying that Judy Lehmbeck is Oklahoma City’s society planner. Her decades of experience have earned her a stellar reputation for being client focused and able to consistently produce unique statement events. We have the privilege of working with her over and over - and it’s a privilege every time!

We loved working on her vendor team for Caroline and Gabe’s unique wedding at Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club in March 2018. This client had an incredibly unique vision and Judy expertly managed it’s execution with design help from Greg at New Leaf Florist. The couple wanted a real party atmosphere for a large number of guests and we collectively faced unique space planning challenges that led to some cool and creative solutions which totally transformed a space all of us are very familiar with working in. It was truly a creative collaboration! We’re using these fabulous images by Perez Photography to help illustrate Judy’s beautiful work.

Featured Fabric: Charlotte Spring Drape

We draped the Club’s portico in custom panels with specialty rigging for the tricky outdoor installation. This set a fun and colorful vibe as guests entered this unique wedding. Judy places a signature emphasis on creating an impactful “wow factor” that will impress guests. This was just the first of several at this event! Our full service lighting team illuminated the outdoor entrance both for dramatic effect of New Leaf’s unique floral installation as well as the guests experience during their evening arrival.

Our team provided a full range of custom linens throughout the large space. A mixed metal, neutral scheme full of playful, modern patterns was a creative backdrop for brilliant pops of creative florals illuminated by our event lighting.

 Featured Fabrics: Times Sterling Linen, Regalia Gunmetal Linen, Sparkling Silver Linen, Quantum Sterling Linen

Judy is an expert at facilitating unique experiences for guests. Besides all the creative space planning that intrigued guests, she brought in Meredith Piper, a live event paper who created this stunning painting during the event. We were so excited to see our linens featured! Guests could enjoy watching her painting develop over the evening and later, the couple has a unique art keepsake to commemorate their wedding day. Here is a picture of her painting in progress:

Another creative application that Judy included with this event was the use of our popular Avenue Bar with a custom overlay. When illuminated by our full service lighting team, these turned out very cool inside Harry’s Bar. We paired the bars with our popular Ghost Bar Stools to finish off the look.

We’ve saved the best for last because we weren’t kidding when we said Caroline & Gabe wanted a party! After dinner, the guests found the party and dancing underneath our clear top tent to the musical stylings of Party on the Moon. You can experience the whole beautiful story by watching the full Pen Weddings Video HERE. But we were honored to have them make us a special edit highlighting the our new clear top tent! We might be a little biased, but having this item to offer our customers thanks to this event is truly one of Judy’s great contributions to our industry this year!

It’s been an amazing journey working Aisle Be With You Weddings on Jada and Dax's huge New Year’s Eve wedding at Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the new year than showing off some of the fun things we took to this event. Be kind, these are our own in-house pictures. We are looking forward to showcasing the good ones later, but for now - here are some of our favorite pre-event scenes!

Guests were greeted with an impressive entry featuring our velvet drape and sequin linens. Check out the custom seamless vinyl dance floor with Gold monogram behind the sign in table. We are sure they danced their way into the new year on that beauty!

Our hard working tablescapes crew placed almost 100 linens and 500 napkins and the club staff set beautiful place settings with our flatware! Our Gold Chiavari chairs helped open up the room and The Fleuriste decked the room in hundreds and hundreds of roses. We particularly loved the head table with our ghost chairs, china, flatware, glassware and chargers.

Some of our favorite items featured at the wedding include: Rose Gold Uplighting | Ghost Chairs | Gold Chiavari Chairs | Windsor Glassware Collection | Alpine Gold Chargers | Goldplate Flatware | Pandora Rose Linen | Western Ivory Linen | Ivory Satin Linen | Rosalie Sheer Sequin Linen | Rose Gold Baby Sequin Linen | Ruffle Satin Blush Linen 

Late night teardown with our crew was a great way to ring in the New Year. The whole event went up and down in less than 18 hours! We couldn’t pull off these fabulous events without our dedicated team and we're all looking forward to being a part of your special events in 2018!

There is something magical about New Year's Eve's bittersweet goodbye to the old and giddy anticipation of new and better things that makes it a wonderful date for weddings. Sharing this special day with your friends and family - plus a great party, the holiday and weddings seem made for each other. 

As we get ready to put together an amazing one this year, we're also looking back to one of our past faves. Karlee and Jay's beautiful Kate Spade inspired New Year's Eve wedding had a lot of fun celebratory details pulled together by Sue and Lou Events! Keep scrolling to see more of the images by Randy Coleman Photography AND hop over to our New Year's Eve Pinterest Board for even more!

The wedding ceremony and reception took place at Cole's Garden in Oklahoma City. Karlee and Jay turned up the fun and started their kissing a little early in front of our fabulous Paparazzi Walls!

Our Gold Chargers wrapped in Black and White Striped Satin Runner paired with alternating Polka Dot and Black Napkins set such a fun vibe on the tabletops for guests during the reception. 

Gold Chiavaris and Hot Pink Uplights gave the ballroom a sophisticated air. This room doesn't look like this now though, it's newly remodeled! You should stop by and see it - and us - at the Cole's Garden Open House on January 10th from 5:30-8:30! 

Drumroll please!!! This is our absolute favorite image! More Paparazzi Walls make a gorgeous cake backdrop; one of the cutest uses of our Luna Beige linens ever (dare you to top it!) and come on - that cake from Madison's on Main! That kiss! Again, these two are getting into it a little BEFORE midnight, but who can blame them? And seriously, we're just supporting characters here!

But did we mention that the real party was happening in our tent?! Our Hexagon Tent with custom black and white striped drape and dance floor? Okay, it got a little crazy and we didn't get an empty picture. But honestly, isn't this one more fun?! We're wishing you THIS kind of love and life for your New Year's Eve and an amazing 2018! 

We had a blast working on the annual InterWorks Holiday party again! They came to us with a great concept for a "Home for the Hoidays" Christmas and we helped them pull together all the trimmings to create an amazing atmosphere at the new Sparrow Beginnings event center in Stillwater, Oklahoma. 

One of the key elements for their design was Buffalo Plaid. When paired with our Smooth Farm Tables and new Oscar Chairs the room was simply amazing! We custom designed, printed and created Buffalo Plaid linens for their theme - now you can get it too!

Our stage is set with Boxwood panels and set with our famous, one of a kind, Marquee Letters and surrounded by several of our vintage furniture pieces. The fabulous Tony Foss Flowers provided beautiful greenery and holiday inspired florals to complete the homey holiday look.

These images were provided by our happy client (Thank you Brittany!). It looks like the party turned out amazing! Here, the employees face the stage and you can see the gorgeous light curtain in the background. Thank you InterWorks for making us a part of your holiday celebration!

Wow! These are great people! We were so pleased to be the rental vendor of choice for this years' regional fly-in for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) at the Max Westheimer Airport in Norman, Oklahoma. It was a big undertaking that we're proud of. And, we made some great new friends!

It started early in the morning with a massive, multi-day load in. 

When it was finished, the event had record-breaking attendance with over 7,500 people! More than 500 planes flew in from all over the country for the event.

The highlight of Friday evening was the Barnstormer's Party, and we were honored to provide tables, chairs, linens and lights!

 Overall, it was a perfect start to the fall festival season! We hope to see you at one in September too!

What a fun event to be a part of! For two nights, guests were treated to a four course dinner courtesy of Ludevine, one for each rotation! The event was called Le Restaurant Francais of the 1939 World Fair and was held on the former Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel, now located in Oklahoma City!

Our partner, Kindt Events, coordinated great rentals to compliment the theme. We were so pleased to see this great coverage in The Oklahoman's Sunday edition! Rental items featured include our Black and White Dance Floor and our Vintage Furniture Collection!

It's not every day you get to be a part of a styled shoot with so much heart! We were thrilled when Sue & Lou Events asked us to partner with them and Tara Lokey Photography to provide our pretties for Layla & Bobby's styled shoot. Layla & Bobby of Chickasa are the winners of Tara's Wedding Redo Styled Shoot contest. She graciously gave away her services to this lovely couple to redo their wedding portraits. 

Featured Items: Creation Blush Linen over Charcoal Polyester | Diana Settee | Mercury Glass Mirror | Pure Champagne Coupe | Mercury Glass Tray

Here is a bit of what Layla wrote in her contest entry: (you can read and see more on Tara's blog)

"I have too many blessings to complain about a bad picture: a mom who battled cancer and kicked its butt, a dad who has told me that I’m special every day of my life, a husband who has loved me so fiercely that I realized I was worth loving, a sister who has always believed in me and encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, a God who never gives up on me, and a son who is more beautiful (inside and out) than I ever imagined possible.  My smile now reflects all of those things that I just couldn’t see about myself before."

Since her wedding, Layla lost over 160 lbs and her hard work, combined with her sweet attitude proves she was more than deserving of this experience. And boy did she shine!

Many other talented vendors came together to make this happen for Layla & Bobby. We're proud to have worked with so many giving and generous professionals on this project!

We're proud to show off this corporate event by Meredith of Significant Events of Texas. We set up a 18x45 Meter Losberger Tent in Iowa Park, Texas along with a stage for their presentations, tables and chairs for 700 people! The Sealed Air plant of Iowa Park, one of the world's largest packing companies, celebrated their 40th anniversary in style with Meredith's help. She did a great job and it was a pleasure for Marianne's Rentals to be in Texas again!

After the event, the client sent us a great review! We were pleased to see she said,

"Fantastic experience working with you guys. You were so professional and the installation and products were top notch! Wish you were in Dallas! I hope we have a chance to work together again!"  

We hope so too Meredith and we have no objection at all to delivering in Dallas!

Photos are all by Images by Darah, who did a really fabulous job capturing our tent and the scale of the event. Thanks Darah!

Happy Birthday Kallee! We had so much fun being a part of your party! What a lucky girl!

We had the best time seeing this white winter wonderland come together! We set up a 40'x80' Kedered Tent and connected it to Red Rock Grill with tent sidewalls along their existing structure! It was so cool! Thanks to Colorband Photoartisans for all the pre-event photos.  

The fully draped tent was accented with our 7 Tiered Chandeliers and the white dance floor was surrounded by our Flocked Trees and guests ready to get off thier feet had our tufted banquets available to lounge on. Here are some of our favorite images from this magical event.  We hope the guests were as pleased as we were!  

The additional lighting is by our friends at Innovative Event Solutions, including the snowflakes seen on our white dance floor. The ice sculpture in the photo (one of 3!) was by Ideas in Ice.  Lovely flowers and dripping crystals all over were by the experts at The Fleuriste!

 The Linen Runway Show began in 2010 as entertainment for the 25th Anniversary celebration of Marianne’s Rentals for Special Events. With friends and customers as models on a runway in one of the company’s eight warehouses, what started as an offhanded comment became the talk of the town and begged to be repeated! While the event has always supported a local charity, in 2013, the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals became the official charity of the event. In 2014, the Miss Oklahoma Scholarship Pageant was added as an advocate and co-beneficiary of the event.  Patients of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and their siblings walk the runway with Miss Oklahoma Contestants in a Miracle parade with guests giving a standing ovation.

April 15th was the annual Linen Runway Show. We at Marianne’s Rentals look forward to this event every year. This year was extra special because we got to help produce this meaningful and fun video, You’re Worth More Than Gold. 

But the main event, the runway show, is what we love the most.

Two hours, over twelve thousand dollars raised, three hundred guests, twenty-two miracle kids and siblings, twenty-two Miss Oklahoma contestants and one night to remember. The 2014 Linen Runway show benefits Children’s Miracle Hospitals and the Miss Oklahoma Scholarship Pageant. We’re so happy and proud to announce that over twelve thousand dollars was raised to benefit both of our deserving causes.

If you didn’t attend this year, you might be wondering why we call it the Linen Runway Show. It’s because at Marianne’s Rentals, we have linens so fabulous, you’ll want to wear them! And we’re being totally serious. Some our favorite tablecloths make amazing dresses. We dressed Miss Oklahoma Scholarship contestants to the nines – in tablecloths! Here are some of our favorite looks: (and you’re going to have to join us for next year's show!)
