At The Vintage Table Company, we believe every event should feel special and uniquely yours. This page is here to help answer your questions about bringing that vintage charm to your celebrations. From choosing the right pieces to understanding our rental process, we're here to guide you.

Our goal is to make your event planning as smooth and enjoyable as possible, ensuring your gathering is nothing short of memorable.

Let's get your questions answered and start planning your beautiful event together.

With the full-service package, we take care of it all for you!

With the self-service package, you are responsible. Some caterers will be more than willing to work with you on the responsibility of clearing the dishes. Some clients have assigned that job to friends and family! Others hire servers or coordinators.
We are! Even if you choose the self-service option.
However, we do ask you to return our items free of food product, then place items back in the crates we provide.
Flatware must be rinsed immediately after your event to remove sauces and food which can damage the silver plating. Plates must be scraped of food. Goblets must be emptied.
Accidents happen! Please let everyone involved know that china needs to be handled with care.

If something slips out of our hands during the full-service setup, we are responsible for that.

While on tables or waiting to be placed, if any pieces are broken or severely damaged you will be charged 3-4 times the rental cost of item(s). This will come out of the $200 held from your incidentals deposit. In the case that damage costs more than that, we will bill you after your event.
All of our vintage china and goblets are inspected before and after an event. The pieces do not have stains or chips. The silverware is freshly polished and water stain free.
Our collection is based on mismatched pieces therefore we can’t promise specific pieces.

However, we can discuss your taste, color palette, theme, and style to guide our handpicked collection for you. Additionally, you can hand pick your specialty pieces, like cake platters, dessert stands, etc.
This is our favorite part of the job! With the full-service package, we get to set your tables for you and make them just right!

With the self-service option, you set the tables. Some hosts ask family or friends to assist; some planners offer this service as well. Stacked plates at the start of a buffet line are very pretty as well.

If you would like us to take care of this for you, we are happy to do so at our full-service package pricing.
Yes! For the full-service option, the delivery fee is $25. For the self-service option, the fee is $50.

Based on the location of your event, there may also be a travel fee.
We do have a very limited collection of lace pieces. If you are interested in any of these, we can discuss details.
We prioritize the sanitation of our tableware with utmost care.

Dishwashers are used when allowed to clean and sanitize. When not, we pre-soak plates with an antibacterial non-toxic detergent.

Once cleaned, dishes are stored in airtight wrapping and ready for their next get together.
