M&M Special Events is a leading event rental company, helping to produce parties, weddings, and corporate and non-profit events. The company has served the Barrington area for 15 years.
What’s the best part about providing rentals for weddings?
The finished product! I feel M&M is a group of magicians—we can take a blank space and make it look lovely based on the client’s vision!
What’s trending right now in rentals for events?
Soft seating (lounge furniture) is very popular. Clients love the gathering type of feeling. Adding furniture and bar-height table completes a look for an event.
Celery Green is the color of the season that brings a warm contemporary feel. For a vintage look, we add the color cream to the celery linen.
Farm to Table is yet another trend that is not going away. We have added new farm tables with cross-back wood chairs to accent the table. This table requires no linen—the look of the wood is perfect all by itself!
Adding an accent plate to your tabletop is a great POP of color! The traditional white china is perfect, but adding an 8” crackle glass or a blush-colored plate adds that extra color with minimal costs.

What’s your best wedding story?
Being a part of an organization Wish Upon A Wedding and providing a couple with a donated wedding. The day was felt with so much love. Although the groom was fighting a terminal disease, we made him smile and his bride sparkle. M&M was a
proud sponsor of that event, and since that event the groom did pass away. We were so honored to be a part of their special wedding and to bring his and his bride’s vision to reality.
That is why we are in this business—to help make peoples life events come to life!
