Who Is Chair Décor?

Who is Chair Décor?
Finding quick, simple, easy, and affordable options for event rentals is nearly impossible. However, Chair Decor takes pride in bringing effortless event rentals to the table… pun intended! In this article, I will be discussing Chair Decors’ diverse staff, the impetus behind our exciting company. I will also talk about the quality and quantity of our rental items. By the end of this discussion, you will understand what makes us unique from other event rental suppliers!

Our Team
Let’s begin with our team! We are proud to be a Canadian owned company. Our fearless leader started as an event planner and has subsequently built a first-class linens rental company because she understands what is involved in producing a great event. Simply put, there is no better person to trust because she knows events! Elizabeth Clark, WPICC has significantly grown the business over the past 5 years and has put together a whole team dedicated to ensuring the quality and success of every order!  

Our staff mostly consists of females from diverse backgrounds, including myself, Garine. I do all the social media and marketing related content and one of my most important goals working at Chair Decor is ensuring a quick response time on our social media platforms! Gulshan and Rajni oversee all the operations to ensure your rental items are perfect. They make sure the linens are sanitized and the order is accurate. Gulshan and Rajni are on the front lines guaranteeing the overall quality of all the orders placed at Chair Decor.  Our delivery driver, Matt, obviously delivers all rental items in a timely manner to the venues but also assists in the warehouse. He is knowledgeable, sociable, very hard-working, and quite possibly the face of our company that you know best.

Customer Care
At Chair Décor, we take pride in holding ourselves to the highest possible standard of customer care. Our customer service is unparalleled in the industry. It is our pleasure to accommodate all your needs for your special event. We provide timely deliveries, exemplary product sanitation, and superior quality and variety of all rental items. With customers varying from Florists to Designers to Venues, we focus on linens but also offer a selection of table top accessories.

Rentals
We offer a vast selection of chairs, from Chiavari to Florence, with a wide range of flexibility in chair colour and interchangeable coloured seat cushions. We also have chair covers, bows, and sashes to ensure your chairs are decorated in the best way possible. At Chair Decor, we are pleased to offer high top tables and smaller round tables, of course, but it is in the provision of beautiful table linens that we really shine. Our specialty is in floor-length table linens, overlays, runners, and napkins.

The many styles from which to choose include elegant, textured fabrics, simple polyesters, shiny and matte satins, and beautifully detailed and sparkling sequins. Our runners are insanely popular, these lay elegantly across the center of the table and come in many different colours, fabrics, and styles. The most popular is the sheer runner; it looks like a beautiful cloud rolling across the table. Our linens are well suited to the recent trend of sleek table coverings that rest perfectly at floor-level. Of course, a table is never complete without napkins and we have napkins to match any table linen selected. We also have available a variety of chargers, cutlery, and napkin rings that will elevate any look! Here is a link to preview all our exciting products.

Core Values
What makes us different at Chair Décor is our belief in our Core Values. Many companies adopt Core Values, write them up, display them for customers to read, but promptly forget about them internally. At Chair Décor, our Core Values inform our business practices and behaviours every day. Here are the Core Values that our team exemplifies every day at Chair Decor.

– We build partnerships – we don’t have clients, only partners.” This means that we work with our clients so closely so we can share in each other’s successes and failures.
– We work as a team – we are accountable to each other.” Our success as an operation relies on each team member being accountable to their job and their responsibilities. Each role is only successful with the success of those around us!
– We deliver quality – we have quality people, products and services. Quality is extremely important, not just with the items you will be receiving from Chair Décor but the service you will receive as well.
– We care- We want you to succeed. We care and we want your event to go as smoothly and successfully as possible!
At Chair Decor, we approach every event as if it were our own. We are as excited as you are and want your event to be as successful as you do. Our clients are our partners with whom we will be as flexible and caring as possible. Once again, we invite you to peruse our inventory at the Chair Decor Shop.

What to do this Holiday Season?

Tis the season! Under normal circumstances, that would imply family gatherings, company holiday parties, or even traveling to see our family members! However, in 2020, the way we celebrate will be a little different but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing! Just as I described ways to celebrate Halloween during COVID, I will teach you ways to celebrate over the Holidays as well. Whomever you will be celebrating with- this is a great chance to really go above and beyond! There are many benefits to celebrating as well as decorating your home, even before the day of your celebration. “Decorating your home may serve as a cue of positive memories and emotions, which can be really helpful to promote joy.”- ERLANGER TURNER, A PSYCHOLOGIST AND PROFESSOR*. We recognize that it has been a difficult year financially, but there’s always ways to make decorating affordable. One of the most fun and easy holiday decorations is the paper snowflake: https://www.marthastewart.com/266694/decorating-with-paper-snowflakes . If you have construction paper lying around, creating rings and stapling them to each other is a great way to create a garland! This is also a super easy activity for you to do with your kids! Besides the decorations, you can also enjoy fun outdoor activities, though it might be chilly. Take advantage of the snow! Get your neighbourhood involved and have a snowman making competition.

Play some fun indoor games with your family: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/holidays/christmas-ideas/g2725/christmas-games/

Or over Zoom calls: https://museumhack.com/virtual-christmas-party/

If you are celebrating alone, make a night of it. Choose your favourite Holiday movies, perhaps a book or just relax in your own way. I will never say no to popcorn and some good bubbly…

Now for Holiday dinners… This is a tricky area seeing everyone has their own Holiday dinner celebrations BUT what you can do is elevate your dinner table. https://www.instagram.com/p/CG0WEvznit5/ Though your table will be smaller, with less people surrounding it, that doesn’t mean you should shy away from making it extravagant Try something different and use a completely new linen this year, bring in upgraded cutlery or charger plates with beautiful napkins.

Make this year special, you owe it to yourself.

Jessica Pompeo – JSP and Co.

Garine: Hello! My name is Garine, I am the social media manager and marketing manager at Chair Decor. I wanted to first start by asking you a couple basic questions. What is your name, and the name of your company?

Jess:  My name is Jessica Pompeo, and my company is JSP and Co.

Garine: How long have you been in the industry?

Jess: We have had the pleasure of working in events on many different levels and industry types (coordinating, catering, décor, non for profit, PR, fashion, dance and more) for 14+ years.

Garine: That is incredible! It is amazing to see a planner with such an extensive resume. What are your experiences with Chair Decor?

Jess: Chair Décor & The Whole Team have a very special place in our hearts. We have watched the team grow much alongside JSP and Co. for a few years now. The Crew is always so flexible, easy going and quick to help! Every year we have experienced the growth from new products, ideas and the team members being brought on board. They love to collaborate on new ideas, ways to utilize product and offer the best quality!

Garine: We feel the same way about you Jess! You have always been such a delight to work alongside. What do think the long term impact of COVID will have on the wedding/event industry? what does this mean for the future of the event industry?

Jess: 

COVID has turned 2020 into the virtual year, which we feel will continue in years to come. We have been quite busy at learning new ways, tactics to navigate with different restrictions and allowances and work even quicker than ever on our feet! We gained a ton of knowledge as planners and clients to ask even more questions and details outlined to ensure all aspects of potential situations are covered and ensure the experience is what clients hoped for. We amongst many have been able to take advantage of all the virtual and online tools in the advanced technology available to us and connect in different ways. The truth of the event is also become very present, the reason we are here is to celebrate something. The industry is and will continue to involve in a way we probably never expected and will allow new opportunities in different types of events and connect with so many more individuals even quicker than an in person level. We have seen some truly memorable experiences evolve overnight this year in some of the smallest celebrations. It has provided us with a level of hope/experience to utilize as a positive tool for future clients and ourselves moving forward. Such community growth has really become present, where collaborations and support within vendors is allowing us multiple outlets to support each other in business and bring even more to offer to clients. We have seen and know that in the years to come the industry has become very open minded and focused back on the narrative of memorable experiences of celebration.

Garine: I completely agree, we have personally seen a lot of community growth/collaborations as well as a lot more of an open minded approach; Are there any exciting new projects you’d like to share?

Jess: We all had a little bit of “extra” time here and there in 2020 to exercise some new ideas or projects. We officially launched our #GiftedCelebrations program. The Focus is for our team to be your personal gift & celebration specialist. Curating the most memorable personalized experience for a gift recipient! By building an online platform and questionnaire for clients to fill out in 5minutes with as much detail as possible about the individual they are gifting, establishing a budget, we then put together the most thought out gift/celebration for that individual to keep and enjoy also while donating to some great non-profit local charities. The packages are built on utilizing our experience and knowledge with design, personal touches and local suppliers to support as many small businesses continual growth and to Celebrate! We have built small sympathy packages to full on mini for two wedding experiences no idea is too small or big as everything is custom built! Our objective was to create a celebratory experience within your own home, safe, with keepsake useful gifts as memories of celebrations! It is like an event in a gift!

Garine: This is absolutely exciting, you always have the most brilliant ideas! Thank you for sharing about your experiences with us, JSP and Co. as well as during this pandemic. We wish you the best of luck and are excited for our future endeavors.
