Essential Wedding Reception Checklist
Tenting
Whether your wedding reception is tented rain or shine, or you're prepared with a backup plan for inclement weather, partnering with a reputable tent company ensures you select the ideal tent for your event. Additionally, depending on your venue, you might need to plan for generators and kitchen tents.
Chairs
Explore various chair options to align with your budget and style. A great selection includes plastic, resin, and Chiavari chairs, all of which are built to last. Make sure your special event or celebration is comfortable and stylish with the perfect chairs.
Tables
Choose from various guest table options, ranging from round tables to long banquet tables. Additionally, consider other table necessities such as escort card tables, buffet tables, a cake table, and gift tables with guidance from your venue manager and planner.
Tablecloths
Once you have your tables picked out, select stunning linens matching the color and tone of your wedding reception to create a polished look for your special event. You may choose to use table skirts that look crisp and professional or full tablecloths in the shape of the tables you rent.
Tableware Essentials
Set your table with style and quality. You will need dishes, flatware, and glassware suitable for your reception needs—some couples like personalizing the toasting experience at their wedding reception by incorporating unique champagne flutes. Work with a rental company that can offer you various options to meet your taste.
Chargers
Elevate the look of your place settings by adding chargers to your event. Give your dining table a luxurious, polished look with premium table chargers that match the style and tone of your event.
Napkins and Napkin Rings: Add flair to your place settings with napkins and optional napkin rings, offering an opportunity to complement your wedding theme.
Serving Trays and Utensils
For buffet-style receptions, acquire necessary items such as warming trays and serving pieces to ensure the seamless flow of food service. Find durable and stylish serving trays and warmers to keep your food warm. Provide tongs and serving spoon sets to allow guests to easily serve themselves.
