We’re excited to highlight our October Preferred Vendor of the Month, one of our most trusted partners: Ace Party Rental. From elegant weddings to dynamic corporate gatherings, Ace has been a key collaborator in bringing event visions to life at The Sixpence. Their extensive inventory, ranging from stylish seating to drapery, staging, and décor, makes them a one-stop shop for event rentals across Indiana.

We’ve had the joy of working with Ace on countless occasions. Most recently, they helped transform our annual Garden Party with a beautifully chic umbrellas, pink drapery, and thoughtful finishing touches that elevated the entire evening. In August, Ace brought their fabulous expertise to Coterie, providing elements for our partner designer, Satin + Stems, to design a striking stage and backdrop that set the tone for an unforgettable celebration.
We had the chance to chat with Austin Smith, Decor Operations Manager at Ace, about trending rental options, tips for wedding day design, & more!
“The simplest things from upgraded chair or flatware options to elegant drapes can dramatically transform a space to a couples dream wedding. When we have the chance to customize it more with custom builds, decor, designs and more it makes the experience all the more personal and special. “

What sets Ace apart is not just their wide selection of high-quality rentals, but the way their team goes above and beyond to make every event unique. From brainstorming creative layouts to recommending details that elevate a space, Ace takes the time to understand the vision behind each event and make it a reality.
The Ace team is attentive, flexible, and always ready with fresh ideas, which makes the planning process smoother and far more enjoyable. Whether it’s designing a stage that becomes the focal point of the night or ensuring the tiniest décor pieces tie everything together, Ace consistently delivers a level of care that makes events feel polished, personal, and unforgettable.
We asked Austin what his biggest tip for nearlywed couples when it comes to wedding planning, and we love his answer:
Austin said, “Trust your vendors. Your planners, photographers, florists (and decor/rental companies) will help you create you dream day so you can relax and enjoy the once in a lifetime experience. Good vendors will always act in your best interest.”
Some of our favorite features at recent events have been accomplished through Ace: oversized, artful drapery moments; luxe, comfortable lounges; and crisp details like tasseled umbrellas + beautiful bars.
Austin said it’s the little, but most purposeful, things that make the biggest difference for your event. “The simplest things from upgraded chair or flatware options to elegant drapes can dramatically transform a space to a couples dream wedding,” he said, and we couldn’t agree more, based on the impact we’ve seen Ace’s design have on event day.
The next step beyond impactful installs or timeless upgrades? Customized components. Something that sets Ace apart is their readiness and ability to create completely custom elements – from a sketch on a snapshot of your idea, to your wedding day. Not only is the Ace team ready to work through your concept and possible routes for bringing your unique vision to life, but their team also follows through with skillful building and professional results.
Austin loves an opportunity to wow clients with their ability to fabricate and design perfect elements: “When we have the chance to customize it more with custom builds, decor, designs and more, it makes the experience all the more personal and special.”
In a season where we’re seeing so many dynamic, unique design components trending, Ace is a perfect one-stop-shop for wedding day design. If you’ve been inspired by oversized, artful linen tables, dreamy backdrops, twinkling outdoor lighting, or luxe lounges, Ace Party Rental can turn your vision board into reality!
And, of course, we had to ask: “What’s your favorite thing about working with The Sixpence?”
“The staff! Since my first year working with The Sixpence, every event experience has been amazing. The dedication from their staff to each client is outstanding. No matter the size of the event or the budget attached, each event sees the same attention to detail as the last. (They also craft the best custom cocktails in town).” – Austin Smith, Ace Party Rental
We are grateful to have Ace Party Rental as a trusted partner and look forward to many more celebrations together!
