What’s New - The latest special event production news from Bright Ideas Event Agency.

In Vancouver, BC, Canada if you plan outdoor events, you should always include tents in your rental line up. They are great for shade and imperative for the “liquid sunshine” we get here all too often. If don’t have a rain plan for your event, you will be sorry. Planning events for the last 25 years, Bright Ideas always encourages our clients to budget for a tent regardless of the weather. It’s such a comfort to know that your guests are covered come rain or shine.

We were looking on the Biz Bash website recently and fell in love with the wide array of tenting they were promoting. We have combined their suggestions and added a few of our local companies to share with you.

As Tentsations driving force, Benita Marr began with a passion to bring mystery, beauty, and magic found within the walls of the Moroccan tent, back home. Embarking on a new adventure, in the enchantment that is Africa, she found the inspiration that she had been yearning for. The Moroccan tent is so rich in decadence and culture, and Benita knew immediately that she had to bring these tents home. With the Moroccan tent she has captured her dream of mystery and magic of life under canvas by bringing another world home for you to experience.
