Micro Events, Major Style: Renting for Small Gatherings
Throwing a dinner party for 8? Hosting a shower for 12? At elliestyled, we believe small doesn’t mean simple — it means intentional. Whether you’re planning a cozy celebration or an intimate gathering, our rental collection is designed to bring major style without overwhelming your space or your budget.
Why Rent for Small Events?
Most rental companies require minimums, which can make elevating smaller events feel out of reach. That’s where we do things differently.
At elliestyled, there’s no minimum required — rent as little or as much as you need. Hosting six friends for a birthday dinner? You can rent just six place settings, a few colored goblets, or a small bar setup to make the space feel polished and personal.
Stylish Tabletop for 6–12 Guests
Small dinner parties are where details shine. With fewer place settings to manage, you can focus on layering textures, mixing materials, and adding those thoughtful touches that make a table feel special. Some of our favorite tabletop rentals for smaller-scale events:
Colored glassware to add personality
Vintage china for charm and character
Chic charger plates that create a styled foundation
Bud vases + tapered candles for a low-effort, high-impact centerpiece
You don’t need a full floral installation or hundreds of guests to have a wow moment — just a well-set table.
Backyard Bars & Small Celebrations
Planning a backyard get-together? Elevate the vibe with one of our curated bar rentals. We offer compact bar setups that fit easily into home spaces, along with bar accessories like:
Garnish bowls
Ice buckets
Trays + pitchers
Glassware by the dozen
These little upgrades make your party feel pulled together without a lot of effort — and they’re easy to return the next day. We even offer delivery and pickup options throughout the North Shore.
Perfect for Showers, Brunches & Birthdays
We’re seeing more clients opt for micro showers, intimate birthday brunches, or even styled pre-wedding mornings with just their closest friends. These smaller settings allow for more personalized design — and make our flexible rental model a perfect fit.
