Before I started helping friends plan weddings, I had never given much through to where one got their hands on hundreds of folding chairs or tables. When I have planned events in the past, I have used venues that were able to provide such items. However, I have started to plan a lot of weddings for friends that take place on a big piece of farmland owned by another of my friends. She loves the extra income she gets by renting out her property and my friends/clients love the look and feel of the land as a setting for their dream day. You would never know you were in the middle of the Tampa suburbs, because she owns property in the middle of a huge, old community that was set up years ago for people who wanted to have small, agricultural plots. She raises horses on her land, which also backs up to an amazing creek. Needless to say, though, my land-owning friend does not have several hundred chairs sitting around in her garage.

Companies like Burgess Furniture come to the rescue in situations like mine. They are a contract furniture manufacturer and supplier. So, when you are looking for items like chairs, tables, dance floors, skirting and staging, you simply find someone like Burgess and either rent or buy what you need. I wish all companies similar to Burgess set up their websites in a like manner, because this one is s easy to navigate and to use for comparing products.
