Planning Your Next Event//Morgantown Event Rentals

So perhaps you are planning your next event, be it a wedding, a graduation celebration or even a baby or bridal shower. You have your invitation list planned, and can see the event in your mind. But will everyone really fit in the tent that you've selected, or the pavilion that you are filling with chairs and tables? When you come to Sweet Water to rent your items, we can easily supply you with a CAD drawing that is a representation of how your event will look, all done to scale. So, we can show you how to fit one or two more tables in, or if a larger dance floor can be accommodated. But we can also show you how that might affect the comfort of your guests, and even the distance between the chairs. 

The drawing at left is a 20x30 frame tent that allows for 64 people to be seated at 60 inch round tables. This is the maximum that could be seated under this tent while using the round tables.



















The second drawing shows the same 20x30 tent with seating for 72.  This enables visualization of how the event will truly look, or even how to change the arrangement of the tables to maximize seating before your order is even delivered.

Sweet Water wants to make sure that the items that we recommend for your event are what you envision, as well as what would suit the situation best. Happy planning!

Clear you Calendars... Sweet Water Open House May 6th

Think back to after you completed that first year of college.  Congratulations, you survived on dorm food and ramen noodles for one year straight!  There is no better feeling than shedding that dorm room and moving into your first apartment/house. These are exactly the emotions we are experiencing at Sweet Water Event Rentals as we move from our High Street studio to our new location.  Every few days we stop by to check out the progress of our new warehouse, office and SHOWROOM.  We are completely giddy over our move and cannot wait to share it with you.  Please clear your calendars and head out to our open house on May 6th from 3-8pm at 955 Canyon Rd.  If you need directions please email us at info@sweetwaterwv.com.  You know we love to have a good time so head out and lets enjoy an afternoon of wine, music and a few of our favorite vendors (Amberlee Christey, Bella Fiore and Elite Bridal) to name a few. 

West Virginia and Morgantown Tent Rentals

So who remembers Father of the Bride? Better yet, who absolutely loves Father of the Bride? We certainly do, thus we were thrilled to be contacted by a bride from Charleston who wants to create a wedding in her parents backyard based on the concept of this oh-so-famous movie. We went down to take a look at the site this weekend, and are developing a plan to make it work for her numerous guests. Because the backyard, while stunning and lined with 12 foot hedges, has no large space for even a 40x80 tent, we have suggested a system of high peak tents that are smaller but can be linked together to create a variety of shapes that conform to the shape of the yard. By tucking a 40 foot wide hexagon shaped tent into the corner of the yard, and building off of it with 20 and 15 foot wide square tents to accommodate bar and foot stations, as well as indoor seating within the home, she can have her reception in the home in which she grew up, the wedding that she's always imagined, and still invite those most important to them. Check out a few images that use these tents to create a one of a kind event.

Or even place a few more together...

Happy Planning!

Meet Us-A Sweet Water Review//Morgantown Event Rentals

As many of you know, Sweet Water Event Rentals is a newer company, having only opened its doors last year. However, as we have progressed through the excitement of starting a business, building our inventory, and finally getting to meet all of you that we've been communicating with, there have also been a lot of challenges. We started this business with a vision. We wanted to give Morgantown and the surrounding areas an option for event rentals that is personal, informative, and complete. And, well, let's not be remiss in our adjectives, ladies. Dare I say, modern, fun and edgy as well? But I digress. Sweet Water is built on the principle that each customer is the most important factor in how we do business. Candice had the pleasure of meeting a bride and her sister recently, and we were just stunned later that evening to find the sweetest posting on our Facebook page:

"I realize that the event rental vendor's job is to provide you with rentals at the best price; however, when I met with Candice today, I realized that Sweet Water isn't just willing to give you an estimate for the items you need. They want to make sure your special day or event is exactly how or what you envision; as such, they will take all the time necessary to sit down and discuss what they can provide that will fit your needs and give you redirection, if needed. If you want a vendor that truly cares about your special day and all the details that go along with it, please give Sweet Water Event Rentals a call."


Cassandra, you made our night! We can't wait to meet with you again. 

We're Engaged!!! Let's Celebrate!

He finally did it, he asked me to marry him, now what?  Well... I can't think of a better time to celebrate! Most women automatically run to the local Barnes and Noble, purchase the latest 7 wedding catalogs and immediately begin planning color themes and bridesmaids dress styles.  But all your girlfriends and family are dying to see your ring and hear every and I mean every single detail of the proposal.  This is your chance to be you and not hold back.  Display the little details you would love to have at the reception but are scared of reliving for the next 50 years.  Share photo albums of your relationship over the past couple of years and just spend time relaxing and enjoying the company of your family and friends.  This is also a fabulous time for both sets of parents to spend time together before the big day.  Depending on the size of your party you are not typically limited to a location to host your event.  The rooftop of Hotel Morgan would be beyond words or host a backyard BBQ.  Whatever the theme Sweet Water can help you with every detail.  Spice the night up with Morgantown's new fabulous chaivari chairs or transform your backyard with our stylish tents and decor.

Burlap & Mason Jars



Photography by: Candice Elaine Photography

 The snow is melting and my inner kid is screaming for sunshine, ice cream and long summer nights. I am counting the days to run on the beach and splash in the ocean waves with my little guy.  Along with my need for sunshine came the desire to redesign our bridal display booth.  My husband thought I was crazy to change the whole concept with only two more shows to go, but there is something about burlap and mason jars that just brings a smile to my face.  If I were ever able to convince my husband to have a second wedding, I would certainly have fun with the details.  Which is why I absolutely LOVE my job at Sweet Water and meeting with each of you.  I love, love, love to hear all of the details you are planning and I become giddy as you share your obsessions with Anthropologie or Style Me Pretty.  Sweet Water is a relatively new company, but we are so excited to be a part of events all around the area this season. You will see us everywhere from Lakeview, to the Pete Dye Golf Course, Charleston to Snowshoe, and family farms here there and everywhere.  We are more than rentals-we obsess over each detail just as much as you do. If you have been overwhelmed and busy, and have put off scheduling your appointment, this is the perfect time to meet with us.  As we spring clean and prepare for the changing season, we are also preparing for some exciting news that we can't wait to share. For now I am bitting my lip on the details-but will leave you with a little taste of our latest shabby chic table display. Enjoy!
