When only the best will do...

When you have decided to have your wedding or any special event at home, whether in a building on your property, in the backyard under a tent or inside your home, there are some things to consider. Depending on the size of the crowd, you will certainly need table settings.
  • Are you elevating the event by using real dishware instead of plastic?
  • Are you choosing to be eco-friendly by using real place settings?
  • Are you serving by buffet line or family style?
  • Do you want to present a more elegant feel or a minimalist vibe?
We have everything you will need to make your tables absolutely beautiful. It doesn't matter how large or small your head count is, we have enough of everything. We work with planners, caterers, and florists, so your event goes smoothly and coordinates. And of course, we rent for wedding reception venues as well. So, check out our gallery for gorgeous wedding reception ideas.

​Reasons to Rent...Live & Learn

A Rental Testimonial...
Kelly decided to host a fall 40th anniversary party for 70 guests in a building on her property last September.  She spent all spring and summer collecting mismatched dinner plates, glasses plus she purchased linens. When it came down to the final details, she decided it was not worth her time or energy to collect anything else, but she still needed 70 wine glasses and 70 sets of flatware. She Googled glassware rentals and found Dish & Decor Vintage Rental in Crystal Lake, Illinois! (And later she became a part time employee! That's a story for another time.) Kelly rented the mismatched vintage clear etched wine glasses and vintage mismatched stainless-steel flatware from Dish & Decor. Her table settings were beautiful, and the day went without a hitch.

What she realized afterwards is...what in the world does she now do with the 70 dinner plates, 70 salad plates, 70 glasses, 70 napkins and huge tablecloths that she bought??? Everything needed to be washed by hand and stored. Egads!!! The tablecloths needed to be cleaned and pressed, which is time consuming and costly. Her original bright idea was she would sell them all online and make her money back.  LOL Well...that didn't happen. She literally ended up giving away the tablecloths and napkins after finding out what it costs to have the linens dry-cleaned and pressed. (She had already spent an ENTIRE day before the party pressing the wrinkled linens, so she was not doing that again.) Renting linens would have been very economical, but she just didn't know. And they are delivered pressed and ready to use.

To this day, she still has plates and glasses taking up space in her basement. They are listed on marketplace with no buyers. Her grand plan fizzled! In hindsight, she wished she had rented ALL of the table setting pieces.  Dish & Decor would have delivered it all. Picked it all up. And washed everything. Kelly, like most people, thought renting would be way too expensive. In all fairness, she didn't even realize there was such a rental business for tableware until her Google search. AND Dish & Decor Vintage Rental made it so simple, she just returned the wine glasses and flatware to be washed and sanitized by Dish & Decor. No hassles. No clean up. No washing. No stacks in the basement. Her next party will include renting from Dish & Decor Vintage Rental, for sure. Don't be Kelly! 
​Moral of the story...Rent versus Buy!
