Springtime is quickly approaching here in Southwest Colorado and we are beginning to field a multitude of calls from brides-to-be in the initial stages of planning their ceremonies and receptions. We are always eager to answer questions which make that planning process easier! The most frequently asked questions are regarding the space necessary to accommodate wedding guests. “How many people can I fit at a table?” “How many tables do I need for this many guests?” What size tent will I need for all of my guests?” We carry a variety of table sizes and shapes to help you create the perfect atmosphere on your big day. Typically, we use our 5′ round tables for guest seating, although we carry 4’rounds as well. The 5′ round tables will accommodate 8 people comfortably or 10 people intimately. One five foot round table with chairs takes up roughly 100 square feet of space. You may choose a different style of dining, in which all guests are seated on both sides of very long rectangular tables. These are great for more interactive menu selections, like a cajun boil, or a family style meal. We have both 6′ and 8′ rectangular tables, which may be used together to create a warm and welcoming long table setting for your guests to enjoy! An 8′ rectangular table will provide enough space to seat 4 guests comfortably on each side. To dress the tables you choose, we provide a beautiful selection of high quality specialty linens, available in a wide array of brilliant colors to create the perfect accent for your wedding reception. If you are leaning towards a more casual “cocktail party” atmosphere for your reception, we also carry 2 varieties of ‘cabaret’ or bistro tables. Our cabaret tables are 30″ rounds, and can either be a standard 28″ high, or to add a variation in height, 42″ high. They are a fun and festive accent to your event when paired with our barstools, and our popular portable bar! We know that each couple has their own unique style, and wants their wedding to reflect that personal style. Here at Durango Party Rental, we are committed to providing the necessary wedding and event accessories to let that personalized style shine through on your special day! Call us to see how we can help outfit your event for success!
