Most people don't realize how much of their event has already happened by the time they walk in.

In our Memphis warehouse, our team is already at it - wrapping inventory for transport, checking every piece against the quote, and prepping the plates, pans, glasses, and linens that will land on your tables.

You'll never see this part of a Mahaffey build, and that's the point. By the time we show up to your venue, the hardest, quietest work has already been done.

This event has raised over $1 million for Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, and Mahaffey is honored to be a part of this cause.

Le Bon Appétit 2026 took place at and was a night full of excitement, connecting, and giving. Over 30 of Memphis’s culinary experts provided guests with gourmet bite-sized dishes from Southern staples to international cuisine.

Mahaffey was proud to sponsor this event by providing cocktail tables and linens for the main event, and a VIP tent outfitted with a full bar, TVs, and plenty of seating.

Chef Kelly English and Le Bonheur Club have created an event that truly makes a difference in our community, and we're proud to help build the spaces where it comes to life.

This is CMA Fest's Riverside Retreat built from the ground up by Mahaffey.

Guests arrived at early admission areas to scout out their first act and used the shaded viewing spots near Riverfront Stage to cool down and admire a clear view of Nissan Stadium.

When the VIP upgrade actually feels like an upgrade, it’s because Mahaffey built it.

A double-decker VIP tent overlooking the stage at was built more than two weeks before attendees set foot in Tom Lee Park.

A crew of over 24 members assembled 86 tents across the park, including the kind of structure that stops you mid-walk, a 10,824 square-foot double-decker VIP tent.

Inside, guests had space to settle into fun and funky and colorful seating such as our Mia Chairs, the Coral Estelle Sofa, and the Cerise Sofa, take in unobstructed stage views, enjoy access to private bars and dedicated food vendors, all while catching every set without missing a beat.
