Step 1: Set Your Date & Budget

A large white event tent with round and rectangular tables covered in white tablecloths and wooden chairs, decorated with floral centerpieces. The floor is grassy, and chandeliers hang from the ceiling.

Start with the two biggest decisions: your wedding date and your budget. These will shape every choice moving forward—from your venue and catering to your décor and rentals. As you have probably already realized, popular Wisconsin wedding months like June and September book quickly, especially if part of the festivities will be outdoors. So lock in your date as soon as possible to secure your ideal vendors.

Step 2: Book Your Venue Early

A wedding ceremony setup with gold chairs in rows, a white aisle runner with script, black lanterns with candles lining the aisle, and a floral arrangement of greenery and orange flowers hanging above the altar area.

Your venue sets the tone for your entire event. Whether you’re saying “I do” in a local winery, a lakeside pavilion, or your own backyard, book your space early—ideally 12 to 18 months in advance.

Once your venue is confirmed, you can start designing the layout and determining what wedding rentals you’ll need—such as tables, chairs, linens, and tents.

Step 3: Secure Key Vendors

A row of champagne glasses filled with sparkling wine sits on a wooden shelf mounted on a wall covered in green foliage, with a red building in the blurred background.

The best photographers, florists, and caterers book up fast, especially in peak wedding season. As you confirm those, don’t forget one of the most important details: your wedding rental partner.

At All Star Rentals, we specialize in Wisconsin wedding rentals—including tents, tables, chairs, linens, and event furniture—to help you bring your vision to life. We’ll help you design a layout that fits your space, guest count, and style perfectly.

Step 4: Design Your Wedding Style

Elegant living room setup with a vintage sofa featuring Mr. & Mrs. pillows, a navy blue armchair with a fur throw, a wooden chest as a coffee table, flowers, and decorative framed sign with greenery above.

Here’s where the fun begins! Gather inspiration for your color palette, centerpieces, and overall vibe. Whether your look is modern and chic or rustic and romantic, the right event furniture rentals can transform your venue into something unforgettable. Our best advice is to start with your foundation—tables and chairs—and build your design from there. Add specialty rentals like lounge seating, cocktail tables, hedge walls and lighting to complete the look.

Step 5: Finalize the Details in Early 2026

Beyond folding chairs: Elevate your corporate event with stylish furniture like a white wooden chair adorned with a sheer gray ribbon, set before a round table dressed in light blue and accented by elegant napkins and floral decor.

Once the big pieces are in place, early 2026 is all about polishing the details. Confirm your guest count, finalize your seating chart, and double-check your rental order.
