Vendor Spotlight; Milk & Honey

This week we are proud to turn the spotlight on a new rental company in town; let us introduce you to (drumroll please) Milk & Honey Event Styling & Rentals!

 

Branching off from Cincy Event Planning, Julie Schmidt decided it was time to create a company that focuses on offering a broader selection of rental items; thus welcoming Milk & Honey into the wedding world. However, this isn’t your ordinary rental company; Milk & Honey specializes in providing vintage and antique items.

“From photographers who want to rent a piece for a photo shoot to brides who want to have vintage china for guests, we can accommodate all of those needs,” Julie explained.

 

 

With a large range of items, including glassware, china, décor pieces, statement furniture and so on, Milk & Honey understands that it may be hard for some to pick out and visualize what pieces will be needed for their entire event. Since not everyone has the interior decorating gene, Julie and the staff of Milk & Honey will work with you to be your designer insight. 

“We’ll create visual inspiration boards to share with your team of vendors and help you select the perfect décor pieces to [send] your event over the top,” Julie said. “We can also come to your event and style/set up the items you have selected along with your own personal pieces or other rental items.”

In fact, the Milk & Honey interior creative geniuses have already provided The Center with a couple of pieces including their vintage pub chairs, which were displayed in our venue during a beer tasting event. Julie also stated that M&H's plates and serving pieces would provide The Center with "visual interest to create a show stopping display" for those dessert tables. Keep that in mind, future brides of The Center!

If, after raiding the Milk & Honey closet, you still don’t feel like you have the perfect piece for your perfect event, don’t fret; the M&H staff will start to do the searching for you. Julie explained that by letting the Milk & Honey team hunt down pieces the bride wants, it helps the bride find items that work with her event minus the hassle of figuring out what she’s going to do with the pieces afterwards.

However, we believe you won't have any trouble finding a one-of-a- kind item for your event at Milk & Honey! Julie even had a hard time deciding which piece of furniture for rent was her favorite. She finally picked the chevron sideboard, which she described was a “labor of love," since she created this from a piece she found at an auction... but then she also added that she loved the blue sideboard with a floral arrangement created by Marti’s Floral Designs for a dessert table. We can't blame her for having a hard time deciding between the two, they're both beautiful items! “We’re constantly adding more pieces, so I’m sure if you asked me in a month, I’ll have another favorite,” Julie admitted.

With all these unique items available for rent, what is a bride to do!? Julie gave some final advice for brides who may be a bit intimidated and unsure when it comes to decorations. “If you can’t find what you are looking for, don’t give up. We can help you locate the perfect piece or give you ideas on how to bring your vision to life. Be true to yourself and don’t worry what ‘everyone else’ is doing.”

Great advice, Julie! Contact Julie and the rest of the Milk & Honey team to help you create something spectacular at (513)673-2300 or email them at info@milkandhoneyrentals.com.
