How to rent table top pieces? 

Table top rentals work very similarly to any other event service rental. The key thing is the larger the event it’s best to begin planning sooner rather than later to give plenty of time to curate the perfect design, as well as ensure inventory for your event.

For weddings and larger events (75-100+ people) 6+ months is an ideal timeframe to begin your planning. However, if you are sooner than 6 months out from an event, please still reach out to your rental company. It is absolutely possible to make things happen! 

For smaller events, 1-2 months is an ideal timeframe to begin your planning. Again, if you are sooner than that, please continue to reach out.
