Do you need help picking out the best party rentals and tents for your Portland, Oregon event? With its dry, warm summers and generally mild winters, Portland is ideal for outdoor parties and weddings. Local party rental professionals are happy to get you the information you need to get started.

Portland's warmest month is August, usually with highs around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If you want to host an outdoor wedding in the Peninsula Park & Rose Garden, or one of Portland's other outdoor spaces, you'll need some party rentals to keep your guests shaded and comfortable. Tents are popular choices to keep off the summer sun, but party rentals can also include Sno Cone and margarita machines, or portable bars to provide guests with cold beverages.

If you're hosting an outdoor event in cooler weather, consider walled tents with portable heaters. Portland's party rental companies have options for every type of weather, no matter the season. If there's a cold wind flowing from the Columbia River Gorge, fear not; your guests will be warm and toasty with some portable wind breaks and a hot cider station. Be creative; if you can imagine a party necessity, you can probably find a Portland company renting it.

Will there be children attending your event? Consider renting a bounce house. These large, inflatable party rentals are a hit with kids of all ages, and young-at-heart adults, too. Bounce houses are a great way for rambunctious guests to spend their extra energy and have a lot of fun. Portland companies offer bounce houses in shapes to fit almost any theme.

Party rentals aren’t just limited to big objects like tents. Once you've found your ideal tent rental, you'll need chairs, tables, linens, place settings, and serving dishes to properly furnish it. Party rentals can even include decorations (if you're not the kind of person who has several dozen tiki torches just lying around).
