As we said, renting a bar for your event, doesn’t have to just be for alcohol anymore. After the number of Chicago events we’ve done throughout some of the most sought-after event venues, we’ve seen some really creative ideas.

Are you looking for creative stations or displays at your wedding or event? Here are a few of our favorite ways to rent a bar for your event and use it for more than just alcohol:

Rent a bar as a dessert station. Because we have more than one of each style of bar in our collection, many of our clients opt to use one for the drink bar, and another (or more) to keep the design of their event consistent, for a dessert bar. We’ve seen some unique dessert stations displayed on our bar rentals:

• A donut bar
• A pie bar
• A cotton candy bar
• A s’more bar
• A DIY sundae bar
• A milk and cookie bar
• A popsicle bar

Rent a bar for an appetizer station during a cocktail hour at a wedding or the start of a corporate event. Here are some of the most fun and unique appetizer stations we’ve seen displayed on our bar rentals:

• A pickle bar
• A biscuit bar
• A potato bar
• A salsa bar
• A popcorn bar
• A cheese bar
• A charcuterie bar

Rent a bar to display announcements, details or signage. Whether you’re hosting a wedding and want to display family heirlooms or photos, or a corporate party with a seating chart or event agenda, using a bar  can be the perfect height and beautiful addition of furniture to keep your event design looking consistent. Here are a few ways to incorporate a bar into your event, without food or alcohol on it:

• Seating chart or escort cards
• Photos of parents, grandparents, or loved ones who may not be with you anymore at a wedding or family reunion
• An event agenda or timeline (this works perfectly for a corporate event)
• Name tag station (think holiday party)
• Swag display or handout (think holiday or corporate party)
• Party favor display (think kids party, family reunion, or baby shower)

Rent a bar for a unique interactive activity at your event. Events are progressively becoming less traditional. Whether it’s something personal to a couple getting married or something that applies to a brand standard or core value, experience is everything! Renting a bar for the set up can be a great way to make it all fit nicely into your event. Here are a few unique ideas for renting a bar for your event experience:

• Cigar rolling station
• Mixologist lessons or craft cocktail displays
• Cannabis or CBD samples  (keep in mind cannibis is not legal for recreational use in all areas)
• Bouquet building (this can double as a party favor!)
• Guest book, sign-in station, or notes. This could apply to a corporate event (think testimonials about company culture) or a wedding (in the traditional guestbook or sign-in sequence).

Renting furniture for your wedding, corporate event, holiday party, or social gathering, is a great way to infuse the design personality into your event space. If you’re booking a blank canvas event venue, furniture and decor rentals can really set the tone for the entire event and change the look of every photo of your night. If you are booking a semi-furnished ballroom, accent pieces like renting a bar can really help make everything come together.
