Thank you SHIFT! You guys were amazing and absolutely vital to the success of the event. The custom drape and furniture looked amazing! I also really appreciated you helping source a photo booth and custom printing for the event. If we ever have another event in NC, you'll be my first call. Also your set up team was super helpful and great to work with. Thanks for all the support!

We've had the pleasure of working with SHIFT Rentals since our Carolina Haitian Food Festival two years ago, and they’ve been our go-to ever since. Their team is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond—especially when it comes to bringing creative ideas to life. They truly helped shape the vision of our VIP Lounge that year, lending not only their inventory but also their insight and design eye. We’re excited to work with them again for an upcoming event, and once again, they’ve proven to be responsive, flexible, and committed to making sure every detail is covered. The owner, Ramah, has been especially gracious—always replying promptly to my many inquiries and multiple requests with patience and care. We deeply appreciate their service and highly recommend SHIFT Rentals to anyone looking for a dependable and creative event rental partner.

SHIFT Event Rentals are the BEST! They were very helpful, informative and very easy to work with! They provided our stage, the stage skirt, the steps, luxury glass tables, luxury black velvet chairs, silver stanchions and orange vip ropes with silver tips. They delivered, setup and returned for pickup on time. Thanks so much, I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking to rent items for their event!

Frequently Asked Questions

What surface can tents be installed on?
Most tents stake into grass. Concrete and asphalt installs require water-barrel anchors or weighted bases — available for an additional fee.
How far in advance should I book?
Tent rentals for large events (weddings, corporate) should be booked 4-8 weeks ahead. Smaller canopies can sometimes be booked a week out.
Are tents weatherproof?
Quality event tents are designed for wind and light rain. However, extreme weather events may require postponement — confirm the cancellation policy.
What size tent do I need?
A general rule: 8-10 sq ft per guest for seated dining, 6 sq ft for standing cocktail events. The rental company can help you size correctly.
Is setup and takedown included?
Yes — professional installation and takedown are standard. Setup typically happens the day before and takedown the day after your event.
