What Do I Need?
When renting tables, chairs, and assorted tableware, figuring out just what you need can be confusing. These guidelines will help you decide what items you may want to include in your order.
How many people can I fit at a table?
A 5 ft round table seats 8.
A 6 ft banquet table seats 6. If needed, 8 people can be seated
by placing 1 person on each end cap.
A rustic farm table seats 10. If needed, 12 can be seated by
placing 1 person on each end cap.
A small farm table can also be used as a Sweetheart table.
3 ft round tables are often used as Sweetheart tables to
seat a bride and groom.
An 8 ft banquet table seats 8. If needed, 10 people can be seated
by placing 1 person on each end cap.
Farm benches are used to seat 5 each at farm tables. When used for ceremony seating, they can sit 6 each.
What do I need for a place setting?
When selecting what you will need for each place setting, consider these guidelines:
Our 7" plates are interchangeable as salad plates, bread plates or dessert plates.
Salad and dessert forks are the same size.
A butter knife is placed with a butter bowl as a serving piece, not at every place setting.
Our dinner spoon and dessert spoon are the same size.
Typically a steak knife is only set at a place where the entree will be a steak, or other more difficult to cut meat dish. So if you are serving both steak and chicken or fish, not all place setting will need a steak knife.
We have 2 sizes of wine glasses. The 16 oz is typically reserved for red wine, although the shape of the 16 oz and 11 oz glasses is very similar.
