Yes—absolutely! It’s becoming increasingly common for couples to host a wedding reception-only event. Whether you’re eloping privately or tying the knot in a small ceremony earlier in the day, hosting a reception-only celebration allows you to focus on the party. It’s a great way to celebrate with a larger group without the logistics of a traditional ceremony. Reception-only events also give you more flexibility with style and budget, often allowing for more investment in the details that matter most.

Seating That Blends Comfort and Style

Let’s start with the chairs. Your choice of seating should support your aesthetic while keeping guests comfortable for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing.

• The Bamboo Folding Chair is a classic for outdoor Carolina weddings, especially near the coast. It’s lightweight, breezy, and unfussy.
• For a more rustic, garden feel, the Natural Willow Chair delivers relaxed elegance with an organic texture.
• Want something with vintage flair but a sleek modern vibe? The Black Bentwood Chair offers the best of both—its timeless shape in an updated color is ideal for indoor or outdoor receptions.

Tables That Frame the Moment

From cocktail hour to family-style dinners, our table rentals set the tone:

• The Farm Banquet Table is a staple for traditional receptions. Its wood finish and generous size make it ideal for communal dining.
• For cocktail hour, the Resin Farm Cocktail Table and White Round Bistro Table are versatile picks that suit nearly any backdrop.

Bars That are Worth Toasting To

Your bar setup should be just as stylish as the rest of your reception. Choose between two standout favorites:

• The Matte Black Geometric Walker Bar is perfect for couples going for a sleek, modern look.
• Prefer something more classic? The White Covington Round Bar adds softness and structure with its clean shape and timeless finish.

Lighting That Brings the Romance

Lighting sets the mood for the evening and elevates your whole reception design:

• Florian Vintage Gold or Brushed Gold Leaf Chandeliers are showstoppers above dance floors or head tables.
• Rattan Chandeliers offer a coastal-chic twist on overhead lighting, especially for tented receptions.
• Go full vintage glam with Vintage Crystal Chandeliers, or opt for more intimate lighting with Crystal Table Lamps and Gold Candlesticks.

Table Linens for Every Style

Our linen inventory includes everything from crisp solids to playful prints, all designed to mix, match, and layer:

• Carolina Blue Rattan and Celery Panama offer relaxed yet refined textures.
• Want something more statement-making? Try Blue French Toile or the classic Blue Seersucker Napkin for a tailored Southern touch.

Whether you're going romantic, preppy, or breezy-coastal, table linens for wedding receptions are one of the easiest ways to add personality.

Dinnerware That Completes the Look

Build your reception table starting from the plate up:

• Blue Lancaster Garden China and Eleanor Fern China are perfect for vintage-inspired receptions.
• The Villa D’Este Dinner Plate features a soft scalloped edge that works beautifully with natural or romantic decor.
• Pair your plates with a Natural Rattan Charger to ground your setting with texture.

Glassware adds even more charm:

• The Sage Debutante Goblet gives a soft wash of color.
• The Gatsby Coupe Glass is ready for champagne towers and toasts.
• For something modern yet moody, the Jupiter Multipurpose Glass in Smoke color offers a unique, beaded finish.
