Event Rentals in Washington, MO

Bringing Premium Event Rentals to Washington, MO

Backyard Party Rentals is based in Wright City — about 30 minutes northeast of Washington via Highway 47 across the Missouri River. Washington is one of Missouri's most historic and architecturally significant small cities, with 445 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, a Great American Main Street designation, and a rich German heritage dating to 1833. From the Downtown Washington Historic District to the Missouri Riverfront and the Missouri Meerschaum factory (the "Corncob Pipe Capital of the World"), Washington is a community that takes its events seriously.

Because Washington sits outside our typical St. Charles/Warren/Lincoln County service area, we focus exclusively on larger events that warrant the trip — weddings at riverfront venues, corporate gatherings, festivals, and major school events for the School District of Washington. With a $1,500 minimum order, we bring full-service event equipment: large tents, our mobile stage, tables, chairs, mechanical bull, inflatable games, concessions, and more. For smaller events, customer pickup from our Wright City location is also welcome.

What You Need to Know About Event Rentals in Washington, MO

Washington — A Historic Missouri Riverfront City: Founded in 1833 by German settlers and located in Franklin County along the Missouri River, Washington is one of the most architecturally significant small cities in the state. With 445 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places and a Great American Main Street designation (won 2012), the city's downtown is a year-round attraction for tourists, wedding parties, and event hosts. Washington is also globally known as the "Corncob Pipe Capital of the World" — Missouri Meerschaum has manufactured corncob pipes on the riverfront since 1869.

Major events and festivals: Washington's event calendar is one of the most active in the region. The annual Art Fair & WineFest draws thousands of visitors, BBQ & Bluesfest brings competitive BBQ and live music to downtown, and the city's German heritage festivals celebrate its founding culture. Sister-city ties with Marbach am Neckar, Germany reinforce that heritage. The downtown historic district, Missouri Riverfront Park, and surrounding wine country corridor all serve as event venues throughout the year.

Schools and youth events: The School District of Washington includes Washington High School and serves the area's public school students. St. Francis Borgia Regional High School serves Catholic school families. Both regularly host major district events — field days, Back to School Bashes, fundraisers, and graduation events. We provide free Certificates of Insurance for any school event that meets our $1,500 minimum.

Why the $1,500 minimum: Washington sits outside our standard service area (St. Charles, Warren, and Lincoln counties). Because we have to cross the Missouri River and travel further than usual, we reserve Washington deliveries for events large enough to justify the trip — weddings, corporate gatherings, festivals, and major district school events. This way we can do the job well without compromising our service for closer customers. For smaller events, customer pickup from our Wright City location is welcome with no minimum requirement.

Getting here from Wright City: Our headquarters at 141 Auburn Dr is approximately 30 minutes from downtown Washington via Highway 47 across the Missouri River. We also serve Marthasville, Augusta, Wright City, and communities throughout Warren, St. Charles, and surrounding counties.
