Party Rentals in Ottawa
Rentals & Keepsakes
Sixty-five pieces, delivered, set up and collected
Every party rental below is real inventory. It leaves the studio at 99 Ralph Erfle Wy in Nepean on the day, gets placed where it belongs, and comes back afterwards. There is no counter here to collect from, which is worth knowing before you compare us with anywhere else.
The catalogue splits in two. Rentals and decor are the pieces that go back on the van. Favours and keepsakes are what guests take home. Add what you like to a quote and we confirm availability for your date. After ideas instead? Browse the gallery of real events.

Before you add anything
What renting a piece actually involves
A rental here is an object with a price on its own card. You can take one piece and nothing else, and plenty of people do. Booking decor is not a condition of renting.
What you cannot do is pick a piece off a photograph and assume it fits. Each listing carries the size and material where our catalogue records them, and says so where it does not: the numbers are four feet, the butterfly panels about three and a half by three, and everywhere else the page asks you to ask us.
Power decides more than space does. The lit pieces run on mains, so the constraint is the distance from the wall you like to the nearest outlet.
Then ground. Anything vertical stands on its own weighted base rather than being fixed to a wall, which is what makes these pieces usable in halls where nothing may be attached to anything. It also means each one wants level, firm floor. Deep pile, soft lawn and an exposed terrace are the three that cause trouble.
How it arrives
Delivered and installed, not collected
Party rental is normally sold two ways: you collect the pieces yourself and pay less for the privilege, or you pay for delivery. We only do the second, because half of what is here does not fit in a car and none of it assembles itself in a car park at eight in the morning.
So a booking covers the drive out, the placement and the collection. What we need back is the venue access: stairs or elevator, which door we load through, and the window you were given at each end. That window, not the size of your order, is what a setup gets sequenced around. Our service area page lists every community with its distance from the studio.
The terms
Lead time, deposits and looking after things
Reserve as early as you can for a peak date, for a specific reason rather than the usual urgency: most statement pieces here are one of a kind, so once a piece is held it is gone rather than back-ordered. Summer weekends, graduation season and the December run fill first. If your date is soon, ask anyway.
The deposit, the payment schedule and the terms covering damage or loss are set out in your quote and confirmed before you commit; we will not publish a figure here that might not apply to your booking. Caring for the pieces is less than people fear, because we install and collect them. In between: drinks off the upholstery, lit pieces dry, and tell us on the night if something goes over.
What is in the catalogue
Seven groups, and a reason to open each page
The filter above sorts by rental or favour. This one sorts by the job the piece does.
The seat the room is arranged around
The curvy couch dips at the centre, so a couple sitting together reads as one shape rather than two people on a bench — which is why it goes in the middle of a stage and almost never against a wall. The rattan peacock chair does all its work above shoulder height, and its tall fan back will overtop a low backdrop. Both are freestanding, and both are delivered and placed rather than dropped off.
Tables that are furniture, not a trestle under a cloth
The sweet cart has a lipped tray, so loose sweets stay on it. The three-tier table steps up so the back row stays visible and its closed front hides the boxes, where the round display table shows its gold frame on purpose, and the same crescent sections open out into a curved dessert table that runs along a wall rather than anchoring the middle of a floor. The swing table hangs from its own frame rather than your ceiling, which is what gets it past a venue coordinator. The low picnic table is built for floor seating, not for a park.
The corner every photograph ends up containing
The heart flower arch is the largest piece here, red or white, its centre open so the view behind stays in shot. The white butterfly panels are usually taken in pairs. The fluted curved backdrop wall is one continuous white panel that stands away from the wall behind it, where the stepped fluted backdrop is a wider cream run with an angled top edge and a folded return. Those two are different pieces rather than two colours of one. The arch, the panels and both fluted walls are freestanding, so none needs anything fixed to a venue wall. Behind a head table, the draped head-table backdrop is sheer white pleating, and the colour in our photograph is light washed across it.
Lit, and legible from the back of the room
The four-foot marquee numbers are what a milestone gets photographed in front of, and a two-digit figure at that height needs a span of wall, not a corner. The GRAD letters do the same job in June. Both run on mains, so the outlet decides where they go.
Balloon work, built on site and built to a palette
A balloon garland is built to the span it wraps, so it is quoted against the doorway or arch rather than by the metre. Balloon columns come as a pair, one either side of an entrance or a stage. Neither goes back on the van: balloon work is used up on the day, so ask for teardown as its own line if you want it taken away. Ceiling balloons and printed balloons, the pieces that float, are on the helium balloons page.
The pieces that carry the names, and tell people where to sit
The mirror welcome sign is lettered with your names and date, so its wording is settled with the quote. Menu and place cards are printed one per guest, with the name and table number on a slim card laid across the menu. The baby name stand and hanging plaque are a pair: one stands and one hangs, so they need two different spots in the room.
Favours that go home, and the henna set that matches
The mini clay jar, the mini coffeepot and the mini incense burner share a band and a coin, so together they read as a set. The henna handkerchief is a dance prop, so count who will be dancing. The shell boxes carry a printed name card, so they are favour and seating plan at once. The mini glass box comes in two shapes that are not interchangeable. The personalised favour cards carry a name in calligraphy, with a beaded loop and a tassel sitting loose in the sleeve.
Want the pieces styled rather than delivered? That is a different purchase: event rentals, helium balloons, backdrops and floral walls and wedding favours matched to the table they sit on. Planning a wedding? The arch, head table and centrepieces are designed as one room on our wedding decorations page.
