Branchburg is the kind of town where people still host real gatherings — backyard graduation parties spilling across half an acre, birthday celebrations under the open sky, neighborhood block parties that start in the afternoon and stretch well into the evening. Spread across the rolling hills of Somerset County, this township is home to some of the most beautiful private properties in the region, with spacious yards, mature trees, and the kind of breathing room that makes outdoor events genuinely special. When you have that kind of space, you want to fill it right — with the right tent, the right setup, and the right atmosphere.
That's exactly what JEMS Party & Event Rentals is built for. We serve Branchburg families and event hosts with a complete inventory of rental equipment — from event tents with sidewalls and bistro lighting to tables, chairs, bounce houses, cotton candy machines, and patio heaters — along with full delivery, professional setup, and pickup when the party's done. You focus on your guests. We'll handle the logistics.
Whether you're planning a milestone birthday at your home near the Neshanic River, a company picnic at one of Branchburg's many open green spaces, or a fall harvest party that needs a little extra warmth as the Somerset County evenings cool down, JEMS has the equipment — and the experience — to make it happen beautifully.
Serving a township as spread out as Branchburg requires more than just a truck and a trailer. The properties here vary widely — some customers have wide-open flat lawns perfect for a large frame tent, while others have more sloped, landscaped yards that require creative placement and careful setup. JEMS has delivered and set up equipment across all kinds of terrain in the greater Somerset County area, and we come prepared. We do a thorough assessment of your space before the event, communicate clearly about what will and won't work, and make sure every piece of equipment is safe, clean, and properly secured before we leave.
We're also a family-run business, and that shows in how we treat the people we work with. Branchburg residents aren't looking for a faceless rental company that drops equipment at the curb — they're looking for someone they can trust to show up on time, set things up right, and be reachable if anything comes up. That's who we are. We take pride in being part of the celebration, not just a vendor attached to it. When you book with JEMS, you're working with people who genuinely care that your event goes well.
Event Tents with Sidewalls and String Lighting Our tents are the anchor of any great outdoor event. Whether you need a compact 10x10 canopy for a small gathering or a larger frame tent for a full backyard reception, we'll configure the right setup for your Branchburg property. Sidewalls offer protection from wind and light rain, and our warm Edison-style string lighting transforms any tent into an inviting gathering space once the sun goes down.
Tables and Chairs We stock round banquet tables, rectangular folding tables, and a full range of chair styles to suit your event's scale and aesthetic. No mismatched patio furniture — just clean, matched rentals that make your setup look intentional and polished.
Bounce Houses A guaranteed hit for birthday parties, end-of-school celebrations, and family reunions. Our bounce houses are thoroughly cleaned and safety-inspected, and we set them up on level ground with proper anchoring — important on some of the more uneven terrain common in Branchburg yards.
Cotton Candy and Popcorn Machines Add a festive touch with carnival-style concession equipment. Kids and adults both love it, and it creates that extra layer of fun that takes a backyard party to the next level. Supplies are included.
Patio Heaters Somerset County springs and falls are beautiful but unpredictable. Our propane patio heaters extend your outdoor entertaining season well past what the calendar might suggest, keeping guests comfortable during chilly October harvest parties or cool April celebrations.
Delivery, Setup, and Pickup Everything we offer includes full-service delivery to your Branchburg address, professional on-site setup, and scheduled pickup — so you're never stuck assembling or disassembling equipment at the end of a long, wonderful night.
Branchburg's character is shaped by its geography — the Raritan River and the Neshanic River both wind through the township, and much of the community is oriented around residential neighborhoods like Neshanic Station and the areas surrounding Route 202 and Route 22. The township has deliberately preserved a great deal of open land, which is part of why so many residents have larger properties with real outdoor entertaining potential. That agricultural and suburban mix — horse farms alongside newer developments, historic farmhouses near modern subdivisions — means we work with a wide variety of event settings here, and we love that variety.
Community life in Branchburg tends to center around schools, sports leagues, local farms, and the kinds of gatherings that bring neighbors together. With Duke Island Park just a short drive down the Raritan, and the broader Somerset Hills community close at hand, Branchburg residents have a strong sense of place and pride in where they live. When they throw a party, it reflects that. We've seen it firsthand — and we're honored to be the rental company that helps make those moments happen.

Yes, absolutely. We serve all of Branchburg Township, including Neshanic Station and the surrounding areas throughout the Route 202 and Route 22 corridors. If you're unsure whether your specific address falls within our delivery zone, just give us a call or send us a message — we're happy to confirm quickly.
We understand — and you're right that many Branchburg yards have natural slopes or irregular terrain. We assess your space ahead of time and work with you to find the best placement for your tent. Frame tents, in particular, can be leveled on uneven ground more easily than pole tents. We'll always be upfront about what's feasible and make sure your setup is safe and secure.
We coordinate delivery and setup the day before your event whenever possible, so everything is ready to go when your guests arrive. Pickup is typically scheduled for the following day. We'll work with you to find windows that are completely non-disruptive to your event and comfortable for your schedule.
