Planning a birthday bash that stands out in a city like New Orleans takes more than a cake and balloons. If you’re hosting your event at The Hangar in New Orleans, you already have a stylish and flexible space—but to truly impress your guests, it’s all about the extras. From elegant seating to entertainment options, party rentals can elevate the entire experience. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, knowing the right rentals to incorporate will help you transform one of the best event venues in New Orleans into a birthday your guests will never forget.
Lounge Furniture That Sets the Mood
Comfort and style go hand in hand when it comes to lounge furniture. Plush sofas, cocktail tables, and ottomans provide cozy spots for guests to relax, socialize, and take in the vibe. Choose modern, sleek designs or go for vintage glam depending on the mood you’re aiming for. Not only does this furniture enhance the aesthetic, but it also encourages conversation and comfort. When used strategically in event spaces in New Orleans like The Hangar, lounge furniture can help define zones—such as a chill-out corner or a photo-ready hangout area.
Statement Lighting That Transforms the Atmosphere
Lighting has the power to completely transform a space. Uplighting, chandeliers, string lights, and even intelligent lighting systems that move with the music can set the tone and keep the energy high. Whether you’re throwing a neon-themed dance party or a classy dinner affair, lighting helps personalize the venue. Inside The Hangar in New Orleans, high ceilings and open layouts give you plenty of room to get creative with your lighting setup, instantly elevating the ambiance from standard to spectacular.
Photo Booths and Backdrops for Social Media-Worthy Moments
Today’s parties need to be as photogenic as they are fun. That’s where photo booths and custom backdrops come in. Whether it’s a vintage photo bus, a digital GIF booth, or a themed backdrop complete with props, this rental adds interactive fun for all ages. It also encourages guests to capture and share the event on social media, creating buzz and memories that last. These features shine particularly well in visually striking event venues in New Orleans, where aesthetics matter and space allows for creative setups.
Bars and Beverage Stations for a Custom Drink Experience
Custom bars and beverage stations can take your birthday party to the next level—especially if you want to offer signature cocktails, mocktails, or themed drinks. Rent a stylish mobile bar setup and hire experienced bartenders to bring a full-service experience to your celebration. From champagne walls to frozen drink machines, these rentals can match your party’s vibe while keeping the drinks flowing. At The Hangar in New Orleans, the spacious layout allows for dramatic bar installations that add both function and flair.
Tent Rentals and Outdoor Enhancements
While The Hangar offers an incredible indoor experience, outdoor enhancements like tent rentals, patio heaters, or market lighting can help you take advantage of any adjacent outdoor space. If your celebration extends outside or includes pre-event mingling, these additions ensure guests are comfortable and protected from the elements. Tents can also be fully decorated to match the indoor theme, creating a seamless transition and an expanded feel for your event.
