Outdoor events are where LA celebrations shine – backyard weddings, garden parties, poolside receptions, and corporate gatherings under the open sky. But an outdoor space is a blank canvas: you’re bringing in everything from the seating to the floor to the lighting. Opus rents it all across greater Los Angeles, and we deliver, install, and plan around the one thing you can’t control – the weather.
Everything You Need for an Outdoor Event
- Tables and chairs – farm, round, and banquet tables with Chiavari, cross-back, and folding chairs; see our table and chair rentals for combined pricing.
- Benches – farm and lounge benches for ceremony aisles and communal seating.
- Lounge furniture – sofas, sectionals, and ottomans to build lounge areas for cocktail hour.
- Pool covers – turn a backyard pool into a walk-on dance floor or dining space.
- Dance floors – custom, mirrored, and wood-look dance floors that install level on grass and patios.
- Lighting – string lights, uplights, and chandeliers from our event lighting line.
- Heaters and umbrellas – patio heaters and market umbrellas for shade by day and warmth after dark.
- Bars and drapery – bar stations and fabric backdrops to define and dress the space.
Planning Around the Weather
The difference between a great outdoor event and a stressful one is planning for the elements. LA days can run hot and nights cool off fast, so we help you build in shade with market umbrellas, warmth with patio heaters once the sun drops, and a level, stable surface underfoot with modular dance floors and platforms. We also map power and layout so the setup flows – and we deliver and install everything so you’re not wrestling with logistics on event day.
Turn a Backyard Pool Into Event Space
One of the biggest upgrades for a home venue: covering the pool. Our custom-built pool cover dance floors – plexiglass, hardwood, or turf – turn unused water into the centerpiece of the party, engineered well above the event’s capacity and installed by our crew. It’s a signature of ours, and it transforms a backyard more than anything else you can rent.
Built for Every Kind of Outdoor Event
- Backyard weddings – ceremony seating, a draped backdrop, farm tables, lighting, and a dance floor
- Garden and cocktail parties – lounge groupings, high-tops, bars, and string lights
- Poolside receptions – pool-cover dance floors and evening heaters
- Corporate outdoor events – clean seating, lighting, and lounge areas for launches and networking
Shade, Heat, and Guest Comfort
Outdoor comfort makes or breaks how long guests stay. For daytime sun, we rent cabanas, shade structures, and market umbrellas from our fabric structures and essentials lines. Once the sun goes down and the temperature drops, patio heaters keep the space usable into the evening. Planning shade and heat around the time of day and season keeps everyone comfortable from the first guest to the last.
Flooring for Grass and Uneven Ground
Backyards and open venues rarely give you a flat, solid surface to work with. We lay subfloor, turf, and dance floors so guests are not walking or dancing on soft or uneven ground, and our crew levels tables and staging during setup. For heels, wheelchairs, and dancing, a proper floor is one of the details guests notice most at an outdoor event.
Outdoor Party Rental FAQs
Do you provide shade and heating for outdoor events?
Yes. We rent cabanas, shade structures, and market umbrellas for daytime sun, and patio heaters to keep guests comfortable once the temperature drops in the evening.
Can you set up on grass or uneven ground?
Yes. Our crew levels tables, staging, and dance floors on grass and uneven ground, and we lay subfloor or turf where a solid, even surface is needed.
What happens if it rains?
We plan for it. For outdoor events we talk through a weather backup, from tents and fabric structures to timing, so a forecast does not derail the day.
Do you deliver and set up?
Yes. We deliver, set up, and install everything, then return to break it down after your event, so you are not handling logistics outdoors on the day.
How far in advance should I book?
Book early, especially through peak spring and summer season, so we can reserve the equipment and schedule the install for your date.
