Experienced event attendees know the difficulty of networking in a standing reception or cocktail hour is all-too familiar; shaking hands and sipping beverages without anywhere to put your glass can be daunting, to say the least. To facilitate easier networking, many event planners rent high cocktail tables – the general rule being one for every 10 guests attending an event.
Tabletop Options
High cocktail tables make an elegant addition to any event, adding conversations and stimulating happy hour. There are various kinds of tables to choose from such as wrought iron, lucite, walnut, distressed grey and butcher block tables; making it easy to find the ideal table for your party theme. Illuminated LED high cocktail tables operate up to 8 hours on batteries with remote control control for effortless enjoyment – they arrive clean and fully charged!
Seating Capacity
Cocktail and coffee tables are great decorative accent pieces to add functionality and style to your decor. There are different sizes available to help find one that complements your layout, as well as features like storage for increased functionality.
High-top tables (sometimes known as airport or hi-boy tables) are an ideal way to encourage socializing at events, with bar height tables often suitable for accommodating multiple guests and designed to hold drinks, appetizers and small bites.
As a rule of thumb, one cocktail table for every 10 guests should be sufficient to comfortably seat all attendees of your event; if hosting 100 people, plan on renting 20-30 cocktail tables to seat everyone comfortably. When using a sash with high-top cocktail tables, we advise ordering 132″ linen to create an hourglass appearance and add color branding stretch cocktail table covers that can be rented for $10 to add a splash of color and brand your event!
Styles
Cocktail tables for rent tend not to offer much in terms of aesthetic. To add some flair, most rentals require linens which come in various colors and materials for additional appeal.
Consider renting one of our cocktail tables for rent as an eye-catching centerpiece at your event. These high tops look especially great under tents or venues with dim lighting conditions, working for 8 hours without needing charging; plus they go great with Chiavari Chairs too! These types of tables may also be known by other names such as Airport, Hi boy or Bar Height tables!
Budget
Finding tables and chairs to accommodate an event is of great significance in its planning. Your selection can have a lasting effect on its aesthetic as well as guest comfort; whether hosting a business meeting or intimate birthday celebration, having enough seating options allows guests to move easily around and participate in activities without feeling restrained by seating arrangements.
Size and proportion should both be taken into consideration when renting cocktail tables for rent. A coffee table must be large enough that all participants in a seating area can reach it easily, yet not so large that it dominates its surroundings.
Table prices depend on a variety of factors, such as number, material and rental duration. To ensure you can plan effectively, it is wise to obtain a comprehensive quote which details all potential fees. Many rental companies provide bulk order discounts; be sure to inquire about them. Likewise, many companies offer different sizes so it should be easy to find something perfect for your event!
