The art of entertaining was never easier than in 2022. There are so many event services in Wilmington today to step up your party game and the options are so much fun.

Long gone are the days when you called a caterer and pulled tablecloths from your linen closet. Today, you can have someone set up a photoshoot-worthy picnic spread on Masonboro Island, charter a private yacht, or have custom sleepover tents brought into your living room.

Here are some of the most interesting event services around the area today:

Sleepover Magic

This Wilmington company is in business to set up the sleepover party of your dreams. Whatever theme you may want, Sleepy Teepees will set up custom teepees in your living room for each party guest. Does your daughter love unicorns? Does your child want everything decked out in Star Wars? A giant glamping tent can be set up in your backyard, also fully themed. Check out their Facebook page to see the many options they can provide. 

Luxury Picnics

Picnics are not what they used to be. These days, a picnic can be a luxury getaway, especially with Collective Law’s picnic services. This charcuterie board business does more than slice cheese. They can head to a beach (or other) destination and set up a fully styled picnic. Picture a grazing table full of charcuterie or sweet treats, lounging pillows, place settings, candles, and lanterns.
