These three design choices will instantly enhance your wedding day.

Swapping your simple bread plate for Mahaffey's Presley Plates and covering your cocktail tables in patterned avocado green linens are small changes, but they're the ones guests notice first and say, "This is so them."

Mempho Music Festival's VIP suites came with a stage view and an 8,448-square-foot double-decker Mahaffey tent.

Inside the Lexus of Memphis tent, guests didn’t have to choose between comfort and a good spot - comfort and a good spot - they settled into sofas and lounge chairs with every set in view.

We might have brought the rentals, but you brought the good time.

Morgan and Layne wanted a classic reception tent that fit right into their private estate wedding without blending into the background.

Mahaffey’s recommendation? The Sailcloth Tent.

Set up on the soccer field Layne grew up playing on, the Sailcloth Tent turned a field of memories into a grand ballroom, tiled dance floor and all.

Sage greens ran through the bridesmaid dresses and the ceremony setting alike, while tailored seating and ivory florals filled out a reception that felt polished but never staged.

We're grateful for the team of talented vendors who worked together to create something so incredible that it earned a spot on - read the full feature at the link in our stories.

Wait too long to book your tent, and you're choosing from what's left.

Every couple pictures their day before they plan it: the tent at golden hour, the tables set just right, sweet moments in warm, glowing candlelight.

What most people don't picture is the timeline behind it. Most couples start planning their weddings 12-18 months in advance because they’re guaranteed to get their top picks. The earlier you start choosing those pieces, the more they end up feeling like you, and that’s exactly how the day should feel.

Save this for your planning timeline, and book a consultation at the link in our bio.

Ann Ragan and Kevin McCaffrey had been picturing their wedding for a long time, and at Memphis Botanic Garden, every detail brought their dream to life.

Mahaffey provided the ceiling drape overhead, French Beige Velvet Sofas and Hardy Ottomans paired with Midas Coffee Tables for in-between moments, and White Stage Fronts to tie the room together.

Your tented event is only as good as the rentals inside it - here's a glimpse of what's currently available at Mahaffey.

Linens that travel wherever the table is set, chairs for when your guests need a break from the dance floor, tableware meant for meals you never want to end, and so much more.

This is what we've spent over a century perfecting.

The final Live at the Garden show of 2026 just wrapped, and Kool & the Gang, along with Patti LaBelle, brought the whole lawn to its feet.

Mahaffey provided over 300 tables and 3,000 chairs that covered the grass in front of the Radians Amphitheater stage, where colleagues caught up before the music started, and friends pulled up chairs to share a night out under the stars.

By the time the lights dimmed, nobody was thinking about how any of these summer shows came together, which means we did our job right.

Did you catch any Live at the Garden concerts this summer? Tell us your favorite show from the lineup.

Clients come to us for tables, tents, and everything in between, but what keeps them coming back is trusting that every detail is already taken care of before they even have to ask.

Mahaffey President Daniel Smith recently sat down with cityCURRENT to talk about what actually makes an event run smoothly.

"At the end of the day, we’re taking that blank canvas; we’re building something with parts and pieces, and our job is to make sure our client is very proud of what they’ve created hand-in-hand with us."

Hint: it's not just what's on the order form.

Ashlynn and Ryan's intimate ceremony space became a dance-the-night-away reception room in no time - simply because the right rentals were booked weeks in advance.

Every piece was chosen with the flip already in mind, so when it was time to move from "I do" to dinner & dancing, transforming their space was the easiest part of the day.

This transition doesn't happen by accident - book a consultation with us to start planning an event that looks and feels effortless.
