About Styled & Staged
Rent the vibe. Keep the Memories.
Styled & Staged is a luxury event furniture and décor rental company specializing in bold, intentional, and custom-curated designs. We don’t just style spaces—we tell stories through furniture, color, texture, and vibe.
We are visionary designers with an eye for elevating everyday spaces into unforgettable experiences. From chic lounge areas to statement pieces for photoshoots, stages, and private events—we help you set the tone without the stress of ownership.
Our story began when founder Cheri Hudgins was told “no” by two different local companies after trying to style a charitable event. Instead of accepting the door slammed in her face, she built her own lane. While driving to Alabama, the vision hit—and within a week, a team was formed. Styled & Staged was born from faith, favor, and fierce creativity.
Today, we offer a growing inventory of curated rental pieces—from sofas and chairs to rugs, art, and décor. We also offer custom styling services for those who want more than just furniture—we’ll design the full look for an additional fee.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, brand shoot, or nonprofit gala, Styled & Staged is here to make your vision vibe-ready.
Let’s style it. Let’s stage it. Let’s make it unforgettable.

Founder & Creative Director, Styled & Staged
Styled & Staged was born from a need-and a hidden passion finally given permission to shine. Cheri Hudgins, known for her creativity and love of bold, vibrant color, found herself pulled back into the world of events and entertainment. But this time, she had a deeper urge: to style spaces with meaning.
After reaching out to existing staging companies and being told "no," Cheri didn't stop-she pivoted.
Fueled by vision and resilience, she connected with two like-minded partners who saw her potential and said "yes." Together, they laid the foundation for what would become Chattanooga's go-to destination for curated furniture and décor rentals.
Now, as the visionary behind Styled & Staged, Cheri continues to make meaningful connections with clients who need more than just furniture-they need atmosphere. From events and home setups to content shoots and stages, she provides curated pieces that transform spaces and elevate experiences. Cheri's eye for design, paired with her heart for people, makes Styled & Staged more than a rental company-it's a creative movement grounded in faith, flair, and fierce execution.
