Ceiling Treatments (Swag): Ceiling swags are long pieces of fabric draped from the ceiling. A swag adds instant mood and atmosphere to any room or tent! The fabric closes in a large room, making it feel more intimate and romantic, so this technique is ideal for special occasions like weddings, formal dances, birthday parties and anniversaries. Drape one or many swags from the ceiling to create the perfect setting for your event!

Great company

We hired Burns Rent-Alls for our wedding in Elkhart, IN. They were amazing to work with. They have such a wide variety of items that you can rent that we didn't need to go anywhere else to rent anything. They took care of all our tents, seating, arch, portapottys, chairs, linens, and tables. The office was so easy to work with as we got closer to the date. We were able to adjust our order to make sure it was just right for the day of. The set up crew was also amazing. We had a tough backyard to set up in due to the yard being on an incline but they were able to set everything up perfectly. There wasn't a single item missing from our order. The gentleman who dropped off the portapotty was great, he ensured everything was hooked up and ready to go and walked us through how to turn everything on/lock it up as needed. I can't recommend this company enough they were a one stop shop and made wedding planning easy! Thank you!

A special place

We rented our head tables and chairs and also our guest tables from Burns. The head tables were farmhouse style along with the chairs. It was exactly what we were looking for and very reasonable prices. They provide alot of other services as well. They deliver and pick up which makes so much less stress on the bride.
