I have never rented before, how does this work?
We make it easy. Just click on the images with a plus sign to create a wish list. When you are ready submit the wish list for a quote. We will check our inventory and send you a personalized proposal for your review. We can adjust it as needed before your final decision is made. Upon signing the contract, 50% of the rental total must be paid; and the balance 15 days prior to the event. When we circle back 15 days before we will adjust your order based on your guest count. Yes, your guest counts usually come in lower and that is fine with us as long as we get your count 15 days prior. We are not able to lower the counts after that.
All items are DIY so you or your caterer can set up as you wish.
Is your tableware delivered food ready?
Yes, our tableware is delivered cleaned, sanitized and food ready.
Do I need to wash the plates after use?
All we ask is that you scrape the plates to remove food debris and then rinse them before placing back into the delivery containers. We pride ourselves on using commercial delivery equipment for plates and glassware making set up and take down easy.
Can I pick out the china?
No need to pick out pieces. Our mismatched china all coordinates together. Upon placing your rental request just let us know if there is a certain color scheme and we will do our best to include those pieces to the mix.
