When it comes to wedding rentals, it can be incredibly overwhelming! From linens to flatware, the options are endless! Thankfully, we have created the ultimate guide to picking the perfect rentals! Read below to pick your rentals the “Waterford Way” (aka the best way!)
1. Plan Ahead
Start your planning early. The earlier you begin, the more options you’ll have. Popular items can get booked quickly, especially during peak wedding season. Ensure you have a comprehensive list of what you need, and make your reservations well in advance. Therefore, it may be in your best interest to sign up for a design meeting! At our design meetings, a Waterford staff member will walk you through the process and help you pick out your dream rentals!

2. Consider Your Venue
Take into account the style and layout of your venue when choosing rentals. The rentals should complement the venue’s aesthetic. For example, rustic venues pair beautifully with wooden furniture and earthy tones such as our Sonoma Wooden Chair, while elegant ballrooms call for sophisticated, high-end pieces such as one of our Chiavari Chairs.
3. Ask for Recommendations
Leverage the experience of your wedding planner or venue coordinator. Sometimes pairing linens with different patterns and materials can be tricky to navigate! Therefore, our Waterford Staff is highly trained and has a keen eye with creating the perfect table design! We are more than happy to help recommend some options, just ask!
4. Don’t Overlook Logistics
Ensure you understand the logistics of delivery, setup, and pickup. Clarify any additional fees and make sure the rental company can accommodate your venue’s schedule. This will help avoid any last-minute surprises. Our delivery & setup information can be found here!
5. Prioritize Quality
While it’s important to stick to your budget, don’t sacrifice quality. Low-quality rentals can detract from the overall look and feel of your wedding. Choose reputable companies known for their high standards, like us! We guarantee you that all of your rental options will be setup to perfection and are of the best quality! Our team also can come setup at your event and steam all of your linens to ensure that clean and perfect look!
