Serve Warm and Delicious Dishes

Gathering with family and friends to enjoy warm, flavorful dishes is a major part of every holiday. The moments and conversations shared during your festive feast will be remembered for years to come. So let’s make sure your food is fresh and top-notch!


Depending on the number of people attending your gathering, you may be cooking all day in preparation. And once your guests arrive, they may stay a while! So how do you keep your food hot and fresh throughout the event? Chafing dishes and heat lamps are lifesavers. There’s no need to zap your second helping in the microwave when you’ve got these great catering rentals bringing the heat!


Our chafing dishes come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can choose what best fits your needs. If you have questions about size recommendations, you can always reach out to our knowledgeable and friendly staff—they’re an excellent resource and have tons of experience planning stunning parties. Our heat lamps come in handy if you plan on having carving stations. They also enhance the presentation on your serving tables by adding a chef’s touch!

Effortless Beverage Service

Beverage service is another prime opportunity to wow your guests. No matter what types of beverages you plan to serve, make sure they keep flowing throughout the event! Creative Solutions offers a wide variety of bar options for rent, so you’re sure to find one that matches the aesthetic of your venue or home. For rustic events, try our Oak Barrel Bar. For luxurious events, try our Mahogany Bar. And remember—we can deliver the bars to you, so you don’t have to worry about transporting large furniture or equipment!


To go with your bar, be sure to pick out a beverage dispenser. These can be used for a variety of drinks, but we always recommend having one designated for water. We can provide pitchers, punch bowls, coolers, and ice scoops too, depending on what types of drinks you plan to serve at your holiday function.


Need glassware for your party? We have everything from mason jars to cut crystal wine glasses! We provide rentals for all types of events, from the most casual to the most formal, so we’ll have something beautiful that fits the vibe or theme of your holiday event.

Behind-the-Scenes Heroes

Some behind-the-scenes rental items often get overlooked, but they can be crucial to the success of the meal. Remember to rent hot boxes and speed racks—especially if you’re hosting a large-scale event! Hot boxes help keep food warm before it’s served. Speed racks help organize plated meals or baked goods, ensuring your catering staff can serve them quickly and efficiently. Though they may not be the most fun or glamorous of our catering rentals, they’re practical, functional, and effective. We even have deep fryers, grills, and flat-top griddles available for rent if you need additional equipment support in your kitchen.

Honorable Mentions

Want to do something special and out of the ordinary for your holiday soirée? Try our oyster table or our s’mores bar! Both of these rental items have a sophisticated look and feel, and they’re particularly fun if you want to break from the traditional holiday offerings. They provide guests with an interactive activity to enjoy—always a hit!
