Why Table Rentals Matter for Event Success
Tables are more impactful than you might think. They contribute greatly to the atmosphere you’re trying to create, whether it’s an elegant gala or a casual corporate event. By renting tables specifically suited to your event’s needs, you can save time on setup, avoid unnecessary stress, and ensure a polished presentation. Here are a few more benefits of renting a party table rather than buying:
Variety
Renting allows you access to a wide range of styles, shapes, and sizes.
Cost-Effectiveness
Renting tables is generally far more economical than purchasing them.
Convenience
We handle all the delivery, setup, and takedown on your behalf.
Flexibility
Table rentals make it easy to accommodate a changing guest count or venue layout.
What Types of Table Rentals Are Available?
The type of tables you choose can subtly (or significantly) influence the flow and feel of your event. Here’s what you need to know about popular table options and their best uses:
- Banquet Tables—Banquet tables, often rectangular, are ideal for any event that includes seated meals. They’re great for maximizing seating in less space, making them the go-to for large guest counts. Rental sizes often range from six-foot tables (seating six) to eight-foot tables (seating eight to ten).
- Round Tables—Round tables are preferred for creating an intimate, collaborative seating arrangement. Perfect for galas, fundraisers, and networking events, they comfortably seat between four and ten guests, depending on size.
- Cocktail Tables—These smaller, taller tables are meant for mingling. They encourage attendees to stand and talk with other guests rather than sitting. We recommend this option for wedding receptions, meet-and-greets, and casual gatherings.
- Conference Tables—Choose conference tables for business meetings and corporate presentations that require more function than flair. They’re long and rectangular, designed to accommodate workshops and many seated guests.
- Folding Round Tables—Folding round tables are a practical choice for events requiring flexibility and quick arrangements. Lightweight and easy to transport, they can be set up or taken down in minutes. These tables are ideal for casual gatherings, vendor booths, or even extra dining spaces.
- Collapsible Square Tables—Do you need something practical that also saves space? Collapsible square tables could be your best bet. Designed to fold down flat, they are easy to store and transport, making them ideal for events with limited space or frequent setup changes. These tables are durable and can support a variety of uses, ranging from workstations to serving tables for parties.
How to Choose the Right Tables for Your Event
Are you ready to start narrowing down your options? Here’s what to consider as you explore different table rentals. Don’t worry—our team will be here to answer your questions along the way!
- Seating Arrangements—Don’t forget to coordinate tables with seating arrangements. Will guests be sitting, standing, or a mix of both? The type of seating will dictate your table style. For example, high-top cocktail tables don’t typically require chairs.
- Every Style—Be sure to match tables to your event’s theme. For a formal wedding, go for ornate banquet tables or elegant round tables draped with linens. For an outdoor festival, opt for weather-resistant options like plastic or rustic wooden tables.
- Venue Size—Before renting, ensure you have floor plans or measurements of your venue. This will help you determine how many tables fit comfortably while leaving room for movement.
- Number of Guests—Calculate how many tables you’ll need based on the number of guests you expect. Having too few tables may leave people with nowhere to eat, while too many can overcrowd the room.
- Linens and Décor—Certain table styles require coverings, while others look stunning on their own. We can offer pairing suggestions for linens, tabletop décor, or complementary furniture.
