Event and Party Tents are a great way for event coordinators to extend the life of hosting outdoor events. Especially in Canada when it can be so cold and snowy, Tents offer a great alternative to an indoor event – but only when they're properly heated so guests are comfortable.

We're interested in helping our customers make informed decisions regarding ANY of the purchases they make for their businesses– regardless of whether we sell it or not. Because of this, we're answering the important question Who sells the best party tent heaters in Canada?

A little while back we profiled the top fall wedding trends for 2014 for our party rental, event venue, wedding planner or catering blog readers. We had 100 views of this slideshare presentation in a matter of a few weeks so we thought it was a topic that our readers were interested in seeing more of. Take a look below at the top winter wedding trends for 2014 that we're seeing across the industry. Also, feel free to share with any of your clients who are struggling to pull together the last of their weddings before their big days – or looking for inspiration for winter 2015!

Continuing with our expansion into the foodservice and restaurant industry, we’re once again exhibiting at The Connect Show November 3 – 4 2014 in Booth# 123/125. Taking place at the Vancouver Convention Centre, the Connect Show brings together thousands of owners and operators of restaurants, hotels, pubs, bars, and more across BC to make lasting connections that drive business profitability and shape the future of the foodservice industry.

We have predominately sold to the party rental industry in the past and focus on supplying products (including event chairs, folding banquet tables, spandex and polyester table cloths, serveware, porcelain dinnerware, bone china dinnerware, stainless steel flatware, crystal and glass stemware) that are durable and allow this high turnover industry to make money. What makes our tabletop supplies so attractive to the restaurant industry is our ability to help foodservice and hospitality operators / owners make their tabletop budgets go further and focus their time and efforts on producing great food. What foodservice operator wouldn’t rather their staff members accidently break a $2.75 wine glass compared to a $5.00 wine glass?

We're all about helping out our prospects and customers with information that benefits their businesses and so in anticipation for the event, there's a number of blog posts we've written that we hope add some value to your business.

If you're in the Party Rental industry, and either looking to get into tablecloth rentals or already including them in your rental inventory, having high-performing commercial laundry equipment will not only save you (or your staff) a lot of time, but also a lot of money on utilities and labour. Even though we don't offer commercial laundry equipment ourselves, because we sell to the party rental industry, we get asked from time to time what the best commercial laundry equipment for party rental companies in Canada are. I thought a blog post showcasing who specialize in the Party Rental Industry as one of their dedicated markets. Read on for who live and die in providing high-performance commercial laundry machines for the event rental industry.

Continental Girbau

Continental Girbau has 5 different lines of commercial washers and 3 different lines of commercial dryers that should service the varying levels of party rental businesses. Their commercial washers-extractors range from singleload to 255 pound capacities with the ability to complete up to 24 cycles a day. The washers have a life expectancy of 10-20 years ensuring you receive a good return on your investment, and are designed to drive down water, electrical and gas costs. They feature high-speed extraction to reduce dry-time, operating time, utility consumption and labour expense and feature a 3 year limited parts warranty and 5 year key component warranty. Their commercial dryers range in capacity from singleload to 175 pounds. They feature radial airflow that helps ensure maximum load separation for big loads and bulky items and provides quick even drying. They also have stackable commercial dryers to minimize the footprint of your commercial laundry equipment. They have distributors in Canada serving British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec available through their website.

Milnor

Milnor offers washer-extractors to reduce labour costs, save on linen replacement costs, save energy, save water and lower a party rental companies total cost of ownership. Milnor's commercial washers range in capacity from 25 – 700 pounds and are designed for durability and ease of use. Designed to reduce utility bills by reducing peak electricity amperage, they offer a RinSave Water Saver feature that eliminates up to two complete rinses – meaning fewer cycles and faster turnaround. Engineered to ensure no costly rewashes. Their commercial dryers are designed for high productivity with airflow that ensures the linen dries quickly so there's no dryer holds. Plus their dryers are more compact and save more space than other dryers because they're front-serviceable – meaning they can be installed close to walls, and other machines. Milnor commercial laundry equipment is available through hundreds of dealers across Canada – whose locations can be accessed here.

Unimac

Unimac prides themselves on working closely with their party rental customers to identify and address any key concerns they face every day with regards to commercial laundry equipment. They also offer financing options for their products via UniMac Funding. Their commercial washers save time and maximize the amount of linens that are turned around – allowing many to be sent directly to the ironer bypassing the dryer step entirely. Their washers range in capacity from 20 – 275 pounds and like the other companies, help to deliver reduced costs and optimized throughput while improving utility costs. They also boast on their website that they have the industry’s lowest cost of ownership. Unimac distributes in Canada through a number of distributors. You can find one in your area here.
