Planning tips

Getting tables right

  1. 1

    Guest tables

    Divide your guest count by 8 for 60" rounds or by 10 for 72" rounds, and round up.

  2. 2

    Service tables

    Plan 1 for gifts and cards, 1 for cake, 1 for the DJ, and 1 per 50 guests for a buffet.

  3. 3

    Cocktail tables

    One highboy per 8-10 guests standing during cocktail hour.

  4. 4

    Check the floor plan

    Allow about 10-12 sq ft per seated guest including aisles; we sketch this on the free planning call.

Questions

48" round table rental FAQs

How much does it cost to rent a 48" round table in Chicago?

$12.65 each for one event day. Delivery and pickup (usually $150-$400 per order), setup, a damage waiver (about 10%) and sales tax are added for your venue, so a delivered order typically costs 35-60% more than the rental rates alone. Multi-day rentals are quoted on request.

How many 48" round tables do I need for 100 guests?

About 17, which comes to $215.05. Add 5-10% spares for anything guests handle, such as plates, glasses and napkins.

Can you deliver a 48" round table to my venue?

Yes. We arrange delivery, setup and pickup anywhere in Chicago & suburbs, including Evanston, Oak Park, Oak Brook, Schaumburg, Naperville and nearby towns. Tell us about stairs, elevators or load-in windows and we include them in the quote.

How far ahead should I reserve?

For May to October weekends, reserve 2-4 months ahead; tents, specialty chairs and dance floors go first. For other dates, 2-4 weeks is usually enough. Your quote holds nothing until you approve it.

How many people sit at an 8-foot banquet table?

Eight to ten: four on each long side and one on each end if you do not need the ends clear. For buffet use, an 8' table holds about 6-8 chafing dishes.

What size tablecloth fits a 60-inch round table?

A 120" round linen falls to the floor at standard 30" table height. A 90" round gives a lap-length drop of about 15 inches.
