They Worked Hard for This Moment — Make It Unforgettable

Graduation season in the Cedar Valley is a big deal — and it comes fast. From mid‑May through early July, families across Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and surrounding communities are planning open houses, backyard parties, and neighborhood celebrations for their graduating seniors and new college grads.

Waterloo Event Rentals makes graduation party planning easy. We’ll deliver everything you need, set it up, and pick it all up after the party — so you can spend the day celebrating, not managing logistics. Whether you’re expecting 30 guests or 300, we have the inventory and the experience to handle it.

Pro tip: Graduation season is our busiest time of year. Reserve your rentals by March 1 to guarantee availability for May and June dates.

What Grad Party Hosts Love to Rent

Tents (20×20 to 30×60)

Iowa May and June weather is gorgeous — and unpredictable. A tent keeps the celebration going rain or shine.

Tables & Chairs

Round tables for guests, rectangular tables for food and gifts, and comfortable folding or resin chairs for seating everyone.

Linens in School Colors

Match your grad’s school colors with our wide range of linen options for a personalized, festive look.

Concession Equipment

Popcorn machines, snow cone makers, and cotton candy machines are huge hits — especially when younger siblings and kids are attending.

Lawn Games

Cornhole, giant Jenga, ladder toss, bocce ball, and more keep guests entertained outdoors.

Lemonade / Beverage Dispensers

Perfect for self‑serve drink stations that keep guests cool all afternoon.
