Planning a party is fun—until you realize just how many things you need to pull it off. From seating and shelter to sound and lighting, even a small gathering can become a logistical headache.
As an Event Specialist at Capital Crests Rentals, I’ve seen the behind-the-scenes of hundreds of events. Whether you’re throwing a birthday bash, bridal shower, naming ceremony, or launching a new product, these are the 10 essential items you should always consider renting.
1. ? Tents or Canopies
No Nigerian party is complete without shelter! Whether it’s shielding guests from the sun or unexpected rain, a good tent keeps things elegant and comfortable.
2. ? Chairs (Chiavari, Plastic, or Padded)
You need enough comfortable and stylish chairs for your guests. Chiavari chairs are a favorite for weddings, while simple plastic or padded chairs work great for birthdays and home events.
3. ? Banquet Tables & Cocktail Tables
Whether for food, drinks, or gifts, tables are a must. You can mix banquet tables for dining and high cocktail tables for mingling.
4. ? Sound System
From music to speeches, you want everyone to hear clearly. We provide powerful sound systems with microphones that are perfect for both small gatherings and large events.
5. ? LED Lights or Uplighting
Lighting sets the mood. Use warm or colored lights to match your theme—especially for evening events.
6. ? LED Screen or Projector
For photo slideshows, video clips, or live camera feeds, renting a screen or projector adds that “wow” factor to your event.
7. ? Industrial Mist Fans or Air Coolers
Especially for outdoor events, these help keep your guests cool and comfortable.
8. ? Event Backdrops & Props
Perfect for photos and adding flair to your setup. We offer themed backdrops, balloon stands, flower walls, and more.
9. ? Table Covers & Chair Covers
Never forget the finishing touches. Well-dressed tables and chairs instantly upgrade your event’s look and feel.
10. ? Power Supply (Generator Rentals)
Nigeria’s power can be unpredictable. Renting a generator ensures your sound, lights, and fans stay running all day.
