Carried Away Rentals serves as the on-site rental and design resource for events hosted at The Ingress.

Because Carried Away Rentals is based at the venue, clients may schedule design consultations, view sample inventory on-site, and explore rental selections that fit the event vision, budget, layout, and venue requirements.

Rental and design options may include linens, place settings, LED candles, lounge seating, table selections, dance floor rental, tabletop accents, ceremony details, and other decor elements.

Some items are available directly through Carried Away Rentals, while others may be sourced through trusted rental partners. In either case, selections are recommended with your event style, budget, layout, and venue requirements in mind, helping simplify the rental process without requiring you to coordinate every item separately.
This service is optional. Clients are always welcome to bring in their own vendors or rental partners.
