What Will I Need to Rent?
A basic rental list will usually include the following items:
1. Tables:
- Choose from a variety of sizes in rounds, rectangles and squares
- Do you need to provide umbrellas for shade?
- In addition to seating for your guests, don’t forget tables for the following:
- Sign In - Gifts - Favors - Place Cards - Cake - Food and Drink - Head Table - Coffee Service - DJ
|

2. Chairs:
- What color? – white, black, ivory, natural or dark wood
- What style? – Chiavari, plastic or wood folding
- Will you need 2 sets of chairs? (ceremony & reception)
3. Linen:
- What color? Do you prefer a solid or a print?
- What kind of fabric? Polyester, Cotton Blend, Lamour, Crush, Silk, Organza etc. A specialty linen can really help create the mood and enrich the look and feel of your event. Remember, white can be quite reflective in the mountains, so you might consider a softer ivory for your outdoor summer wedding.
- Will napkins be the same or an accent color, do you want to add an overlay?
- How far down do you want the linens to hang – ½, ¾ length or to the ground?
- Table runners, chair covers and chair ties are all available to add the finishing touches.
4. Dinnerware:
- Choose a style of china to suit the mood of your wedding.
- We charge per piece, not per place setting.
- If a buffet, order 10% more dinnerware than the anticipated number of guests.
- Don’t forget the platters if you choose “Family Style” dining.
- If a sit-down dinner, order one setting per person, whether or not every piece is actually used.
- Discuss your requirements with your caterer or event coordinator – they will be able to advise you on what to order based on your menu selection, staffing, event site etc.
- Disposable items might include: cocktail napkins for appetizers, paper plates for cake, plastic glasses for beer.
- Don't forget items for your coffee service station.
5. Glassware:
- Select the correct glass for the drinks you are going to be serving.
- Don’t forget champagne glasses for the toast!
- If you're setting glassware at the tables for the meal, you will need to double up at the bar.
6. Sound System:
- If you are getting married outdoors and have a large guest count and want to ensure that everyone hears the ceremony, consider renting a P.A. system. Call us to discuss the best sound system for your location.
7. Dance Floor:
- Anticipate that about ¼ to ½ your guests will dance at any one time, and plan on about one couple per 3’ x 3’ dance floor section.
8. Tenting:
- To determine what size tent you need, you must first decide what it is being used for: is it going to cover the whole reception or is it just for the food?
- A certain amount of space has to be allowed for each and every item under a tent and once all these items have been accounted for, the final square footage of the tent can be worked out.
- Do you want sidewalls?
- What kind of surface is it going on – can it be staked?
- Please call us for details of our tent policies and procedures if you want to reserve a tent just in case of inclement weather.
9. Lighting:
- The “Piece De Resistance” for any Elegant Affair our “Shabby Chic” Chrome and Crystal Chandeliers will dazzle you and your guests providing a magical memory.
- Other mood lighting options include spot lights, up lights, mirror balls, paper lanterns and colored L.E.D.’s
10. Heating:
- Even on hot summer days, it can become quite cool in Tahoe once the sun goes down and you might consider renting some heaters or a fire pit to keep your guests comfortable as they party into the small hours! An outdoor heater will warm up to a radius of 12’-15’
11. Wedding Arches:
- We have a variety of arbors to choose from, from simple trellis arches to gazebos.
- Perfect for framing your ceremony or the cake!
- Most of our arches are 5’ wide x 7’ high.
How Much Will It Cost?
Every wedding is unique, every bride’s vision of her wedding day is different and budgets range from high to low – it is therefore very difficult to say exactly how much wedding rentals will cost without going through the consultation process. Feel free to contact us at any time to discuss a format which best suits you and your vision!
We look forward to hearing from you and to helping you plan your special day!
