Your Complete Guide to Table and Chair Rentals for Any Event
Planning an event, whether it’s the wedding of your dreams, a milestone birthday, a corporate gala, or a simple backyard barbecue, involves countless decisions. At the very foundation of a successful gathering lies something fundamental: providing a comfortable and beautiful space for your guests to connect. The right tables and chairs do more than just fill a room; they set the tone, facilitate conversation, and form the canvas for your entire event design.
Navigating the world of event rentals can feel overwhelming. What size tables do you need? Which chair style matches your theme? How do you ensure you have enough seating without crowding your space?
This guide is here to simplify the process. As leaders in party rentals for Toronto and the surrounding areas, we’ve helped orchestrate thousands of successful events. We’ve compiled our expertise into this comprehensive resource to help you choose the perfect table and chair rentals with confidence, ensuring your event is as flawless as you’ve imagined.
The Foundation of Your Event: Choosing the Right Tables
The tables you choose are the centerpiece of your event’s layout. They dictate the flow of the space, the intimacy of conversations, and the overall dining experience. Understanding the strengths of each shape is the first step in creating a functional and inviting atmosphere.
Round Tables
The most popular choice for weddings and social gatherings, round tables encourage conversation by allowing all guests to see and interact with one another easily. They create a classic, elegant look and are available in various sizes to accommodate different group numbers.Â
Rectangular Tables
Also known as banquet tables, these are incredibly versatile. They are perfect for creating long, dramatic tablescapes for family-style dining, efficient seating for conferences, or for use as buffet, gift, or head tables.
Square Tables
Offering a modern and symmetrical look, square tables provide a more intimate dining experience than long rectangular tables but with a contemporary edge. They can be used alone or grouped together to create larger, more dynamic seating arrangements.Â
Cocktail or Bistro Tables
These tall, smaller-diameter tables are essential for cocktail hours and reception areas. They provide guests with a convenient place to set down their drinks and plates while mingling, encouraging movement and interaction throughout the space.
Choosing the right table size is just as important as the shape. You need to balance your guest count with the dimensions of your venue. For a detailed breakdown of how many guests each table can hold, see our Definitive Guide to Event Table Capacity.
More Than Just a Seat: Selecting the Perfect Chair Style
Chairs are one of the most impactful visual elements of your event. They contribute significantly to your theme and decor, transforming a simple space into a styled environment. Moving beyond basic function and choosing a chair that complements your vision is key to creating a memorable atmosphere.
Here is a look at some of the most popular chair rental styles:
Chiavari Chairs
The gold standard for elegant events. With their timeless, bamboo-like spindles and graceful silhouette, Chiavari chairs are the top choice for weddings, galas, and formal ceremonies. Available in classic colors like gold, silver, clear, and white, they add a touch of sophistication to any setting. For an in-depth look, read our guide on the 9 Reasons Chiavari Chairs are the Perfect Choice for Your Elegant Event.
Folding Chairs
Don’t underestimate the versatile folding chair. Modern resin folding chairs, often with a padded seat, offer a clean, classic look suitable for everything from garden weddings to corporate events. They are comfortable, practical, and can be dressed up or left simple for a minimalist aesthetic.
Tiffany Chairs
A timeless choice for adding sophistication to any event. Known for their elegant design and delicate lines, these chairs complement a wide range of occasions, from weddings and galas to corporate gatherings. Available in versatile colors like gold, silver, and clear, they seamlessly adapt to different themes and styles. Their lightweight build makes them easy to arrange, while the comfortable seating ensures guests can fully enjoy the event. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings, Tiffany chairs not only provide functionality but also enhance the overall ambiance with their classic charm.
Bistro Chairs
Evoke the charm of a Parisian café with classic bistro chairs. Their simple, often slatted or woven design, is ideal for creating a relaxed, whimsical, and intimate atmosphere at bridal showers, garden parties, or casual receptions.

Planning Your Space: A Quick Guide to Layout and Logistics
Once you’ve selected your tables and chairs, arranging them effectively is the final piece of the puzzle. A well-planned layout ensures guest comfort and a smooth flow for your event.
Allow for Space
As a general rule, leave at least 48-60 inches of space between tables. This provides enough room for guests to comfortably pull out their chairs and for service staff to navigate the room without disruption.
Consider the Flow
Think about the key areas of your event—entrances, exits, dance floors, buffet tables, and restrooms. Ensure there are clear, unobstructed pathways to and from these locations.
Event-Specific Needs
A wedding ceremony setup will have different requirements than a conference or a banquet. For ceremonies, focus on aisle width and sightlines. For banquets, prioritize ease of access for servers. For conferences, ensure adequate space for presentations and note-taking.

For 100 guests at a seated dinner, you’ll typically need 100 chairs and 12-13 round tables (8 guests per table) or 10 rectangular tables (10 guests per table). However, this depends on your specific layout needs. Don’t forget to account for additional seating areas like a sweetheart table, vendor tables, or cocktail hour seating.

What are the most popular chair rentals for a wedding?
By far, Chiavari chairs are the most requested for weddings due to their elegant and formal appearance. Padded resin folding chairs are also extremely popular, especially for outdoor ceremonies, as they provide a clean, classic look that works with any color palette. For rustic or barn weddings, Cross-Back chairs are the leading choice.

Yes, we proudly serve a wide area, including Mississauga, Toronto, and the entire GTA. Our delivery team ensures your rentals arrive on time and are placed conveniently for your setup. When you request a quote, we will confirm service to your specific event location.
How far in advance should I book my party rentals?
We recommend booking your tables and chairs as soon as you have your date and venue confirmed, especially if you are getting married during the peak season (May through October). Popular items can book up 6-12 months in advance. For smaller events, a few weeks’ notice may be sufficient, but earlier is always better to ensure availability.
