When you’re on the beach, every day feels like a celebration, but when you’re actually throwing a party on the Outer Banks, the opportunities are exciting and endless! No matter if you’re planning a holiday party for your friends and family, a birthday celebration, a corporate party to show your employees how much you value their hard work, or even your own wedding, an Outer Banks event naturally trumps many others just because of its location. Here are a few exciting Outer Banks event ideas and helpful tips to make your next OBX party an UNFORGETTABLE one!
Backyard Dance Party
The meaning of a backyard party enters a whole new realm when it opens up to a private access to the Atlantic Ocean, or sprawls out into a panoramic view of an Outer Banks soundside sunset. But there’s one thing you can’t go without no matter where your backyard party is and that’s the MUSIC! Make the most of your outdoor birthday soiree, end of the year party, or company picnic with the perfect complement to some good tunes…a dance floor. Dance under the stars with your favorite people with a fun, convenient dance floor from Ocean Atlantic Event Rentals and your guests will be talking about how much fun they had at your party for months to come!
Elegant Affair
Tap into the unparalleled beauty of the Outer Banks to inspire your very own gorgeous affair. Whether you are planning a wedding reception, a rehearsal dinner or a charity gala, the Outer Banks is an ideal place to host such an elegant event! Choose from one of the area’s many piers for a unique setting under the stars, an event home built and managed specifically for extravagant events, or one of the area’s many lighthouses for a distinguished occasion.
Events such as these sometimes call for more than your run-of-the-mill table set ups and dinnerware, so if you’ve decided to turn it up a notch and go all out, consider renting linens, seating and beautiful dishes and glassware to take the pressure off of planning, hauling and setting up, and allow yourself to focus your attention on more exciting details of the party!
Back Up Plan
To make the most of a celebration on the Outer Banks means you are probably going to spend some, if not all, of it outdoors, enjoying the wild beauty of the area. Just as Mother Nature provides quite the backdrop for these events, she is a fickle character and can unfortunately bring rain on your special day. Renting an event tent will help you to have peace of mind while planning your party and offer you and your guests plenty of room to escape the elements should there be rain on your parade! Prepare for the worst and hope for the best with a tent that will match your needs and site specifications.
