The Chic Guide: What is Collective Charm?
Stacey Jantzen-Bradford, Owner of Collective Charm: Collective Charm is a speciality rental and styling company. We use our boho, modern, and vintage inspired furniture and accessories to curate an environment that cultivates memories that guests will talk about for years to come.
The Chic Guide: What’s the inspiration behind it?
Jantzen-Bradford: I have always been passionate about creating memorable events. After being asked to put together my future daughter in laws bridal shower, I started down what was the beginning of Collective Charm. I despise parties that lock guests down to an assigned table, and the challenge was on to create a party that didn’t use typical tables and chairs. Four sofas and eight vintage upholstered chairs later, our yard became the party guests still talk about. Dozens of pieces later and here we are!
The Chic Guide: Who’s behind the business?
Jantzen-Bradford: Collective Charm is truly a family affair. Stacey is the design visionary and Dan handles all of the logistics. Erin is the social media guru and Elise keeps our china clean and makes sure the tables are set perfectly.
The Chic Guide: What items do you supply for special events?
Jantzen-Bradford: Our large pieces include: sofas, settes, arches/arbors, sweetheart tables, cake stands, large dining tables, welcome/gift stations, vanities, accent chairs, rugs, mirrors, low sitting picnic style tables, bell tents, styled shelves, and more. Our smaller accents include: signage, china, goblets, vases, pillows, poofs, cake/donut stands, table scapes, cutlery, vintage suitcases, books, and more!
The Chic Guide: Do you offer packages?
Jantzen-Bradford: Yes, we do offer packages! As far as lounges go, we offer petite lounges which seat 4 to 5 guests and grande lounges which seat 7 to 8 guests. Lounges can include an arrangement of: love seats, settees, side chairs, accent tables, trunks, pillows, rugs, and more. We also offer full styling and tablescapes. For our table scapes, we set up chargers, plates, silverware, goblets, and more to take your dining tables and photos to the next level. Ultimately, we customize packages based on what clients need. This could include developing a vision board and package to deliver a custom bridal suite, sweetheart table, arbor, and/or lounge.
The Chic Guide: What makes Collective Charm Rentals unique?
Jantzen-Bradford: We love to do the non-traditional! Give us a blank slate venue or yard and we will completely transform it with pieces that instantly invite connection and conversation. We also offer day-of-coordination and custom staging, so our clients can truly kick back and enjoy their special event. We’re all about multi-functional pieces that can be used throughout multiple spaces at an event. We do not just do weddings, we love proposals, showers, birthday parties, picnics, quinceañeras, and bar and bat Mitzvahs.
The Chic Guide: Is there anything new on the horizon?
Jantzen-Bradford: You betcha! We have a rebrand and new branch coming to Collective Charm in the near future. Picture a space where creatives can come together to collaborate, design, and make dreams a reality. We would also love to get more into home design/staging, hosting styled and mini shoots, and more.
