Where to save money:
- Try picking one glass that works for all beverages you are offering. For example, both a water goblet and wine glass may be necessary; however it is not necessary to have both a white and red glass for every guest.
- Choose adorned chairs with seat cushions instead of chair covers. Chairs are the first rental item many guests see and are often in tablescape photographs. By choosing a chair with a cushion that matches your event’s color palette, you can have only one item to rent instead of two.
Suggested time frame to contact your rental company: 6 to 8 months is ideal, this gives you enough time to plan but not too much time where you second guess your choices. If you are planning a summer wedding be sure to reserve your items in advance as this is the most popular time of the year.
How to get started: Pull photos from other weddings you admired and start a Pinterest page to show us the looks you are going for. If you don’t have a planner, an event rental consultant can easily assist you with all your event needs.
How much to order and what factors to consider:
- For example: Glasses you should think 3 to 4 per person
- Be sure to factor in the cocktail hour
- Guests tend to put their glasses down and go for another drink
- Be sure to factor in the cocktail hour or champagne toast
Top questions to ask your rental provider:
- Have you worked events at our venue?
