Westfield has a way of doing things right. From the beautifully kept Colonial and Victorian homes lining Prospect Street and Kimball Avenue to the festive energy along East Broad Street during the holiday season, this is a town that takes its celebrations seriously — and its neighbors even more so. Whether you're planning a milestone birthday in your backyard, a graduation party for a soon-to-be Westfield High School Blue Devil, or a block party that brings the whole street together, JEMS Party & Event Rentals is here to help you pull it off without the stress.
We know that Westfield families tend to host with intention. This isn't a town where people throw a few folding chairs on the patio and call it done. Events here are thought through — the lawn looks great, the kids have something to do, and guests actually linger because the setup invites them to. That's exactly the kind of event our rental packages are built to support, with everything from spacious event tents to glowing string lights, cotton candy machines that stop kids in their tracks, and bounce houses that keep the little ones happily occupied while the adults enjoy themselves.
And because Westfield's residential streets can be beautifully tree-lined but also narrow and parking-challenged, we've delivered and set up in all kinds of situations across Union County. Our team comes prepared, communicates clearly ahead of time, and handles every detail of setup and pickup so you can focus entirely on your guests.
JEMS Party & Event Rentals has built a reputation throughout Union County by doing the basics exceptionally well — showing up on time, delivering clean and well-maintained equipment, and treating your property with the same care we'd want shown to our own. Westfield customers are savvy shoppers. You've likely researched your options, read the reviews, and asked friends for recommendations at soccer practice or after a school event at Franklin Elementary. We welcome that scrutiny because we're confident we deliver on what we promise. No surprise fees, no equipment that looks like it's been through ten seasons of abuse. Just reliable, professional service every time.
We also understand the geography. Westfield's mix of sprawling backyards in the Minnisinck Hills area and tighter setups closer to downtown means we adapt our delivery and configuration approach to fit your actual space — not a generic floor plan. Whether you need a 20x30 tent on a generous flat lawn or a more creative arrangement in a side yard with uneven terrain, we've got the experience to make it work beautifully. Our team walks through the setup with you to make sure every chair, every light, and every piece of equipment is exactly where you want it.
Event Tents with Sidewalls and Lighting Our frame and pole tents create a stunning event space in your backyard or venue, and our sidewall and string lighting packages are perfect for Westfield's unpredictable spring and fall weather — because your outdoor graduation party shouldn't be at the mercy of an afternoon thunderstorm rolling in off the Watchung Reservation.
Tables and Chairs Rectangular banquet tables, round tables for seated dinners, and folding chairs in quantities big or small — ideal for everything from an intimate First Communion luncheon to a full neighborhood cookout.
Bounce Houses Kids in Westfield are active, and a bounce house is the surest way to keep them entertained for hours. Available in several fun styles, our bounce houses are cleaned and inspected before every delivery.
Cotton Candy Machines A total crowd-pleaser at birthday parties, school fundraisers, and community events. Supplies included — just plug in and spin.
Popcorn Machines Nothing says "party" quite like the smell of fresh popcorn. Our commercial-grade machines are easy to use and make a fantastic addition to backyard movie nights or any event where you want that extra festive touch.
Patio Heaters Westfield's spring evenings and October weekend parties can get chilly fast. Our standing patio heaters extend your event well into the night without anyone reaching for their coat at 7pm.
Delivery, Setup & Pickup — All Included Every rental includes full delivery, professional setup, and scheduled pickup. You do the hosting; we do the heavy lifting.
Westfield's community calendar is packed with opportunities to gather — from the beloved Downtown Westfield Corporation's Fanwood-Westfield Holiday Train Show to the summer concerts at Mindowaskin Park, the town genuinely loves a well-planned event. Mindowaskin Park itself, with its picturesque pond and open green space, is a favorite backdrop for community gatherings, and many local families celebrate nearby in their own yards, wanting that same relaxed, polished atmosphere for their private events. If your home is near the park or tucked into one of the neighborhoods off Central Avenue, JEMS can work with your space to create something that feels just as special.
Westfield is also home to a large number of families with school-age children who mark every milestone with genuine enthusiasm — the end-of-season team parties, the Bat and Bar Mitzvahs, the Sweet Sixteens, and the graduation celebrations that feel like the whole extended family flying in at once. We've supported events of all sizes across the area and understand what these moments mean to the families hosting them. That's why we treat every rental — whether it's two bounce houses and a tent for 150 guests or just a popcorn machine for a small birthday — with the same level of care and professionalism.
Ready to make your Westfield event one that people talk about until next year's party? JEMS Party & Event Rentals is your local, reliable partner for everything from backyard birthdays to full-scale celebrations. Contact us today for a free, no-pressure quote — and let's start building something your guests won't forget.
Absolutely. Many Westfield homes — especially those closer to the downtown area and along older residential streets — have mature trees and yard configurations that require a bit of planning. We're experienced with these setups and will do a pre-event consultation to determine the right tent size and configuration for your specific space. We bring the right equipment and know-how to make it work safely and attractively.
For peak season events — especially late May through June for graduation parties, and July and August for summer celebrations — we strongly recommend booking 4 to 6 weeks in advance. Westfield graduation season in particular books up quickly. That said, if your date is coming up sooner, reach out anyway and we'll do everything we can to accommodate you.
For most standard backyard tent setups, a permit is not required. However, if you're planning a larger tent (typically 400 square feet or more) or hosting an event in a public space in Westfield, you may need to check with the Township of Westfield's municipal offices. We're happy to advise based on your specific event — just ask us when you reach out for a quote.
