How to Choose Tables and Chairs for Your Colorado Springs Event
Planning a wedding, graduation party, baby shower, or backyard celebration? Before you decide on decorations, make sure your guests have a comfortable place to sit, eat, and spend time together.
At The Table & Chair Company, we help customers throughout Colorado Springs and surrounding communities choose table and chair rentals that fit their event. Here’s where to start.
Start With Your Guest Count
Your expected guest count helps determine how many tables and chairs you’ll need. For a seated meal, plan a seat for every guest. For an open house or graduation party where people arrive throughout the day, your seating needs may be different.
Remember to account for anyone who may need a seat beyond your guest list, such as event staff or vendors. If your guest count is still changing, mention that when requesting your quote so you can discuss options before booking.
Choose the Right Table Shape
The best table choice depends on your space, your meal plans, and how you want guests to interact.
8-foot banquet tables work well for guest seating, buffet lines, gifts, desserts, and check-in stations. They’re a practical choice for backyard parties, graduations, and corporate gatherings.
60-inch round tables make it easy for guests to face one another and enjoy conversation. They’re a popular option for wedding receptions, showers, and seated celebrations.
You can also mix table shapes—for example, round tables for guests and banquet tables for food and gifts.
Think Beyond Guest Seating
One easy planning detail to overlook is the number of tables needed for everything besides dining.
Depending on your event, you may want separate tables for:
Food and drinks
Cake and desserts
Gifts and cards
A guest book or welcome display
Vendor displays or event check-in
Making this list early can help you avoid last-minute additions.
Leave Room to Move
A layout should give guests enough room to pull out their chairs, walk between tables, and reach food and drinks comfortably.
Before ordering, measure your event space and check with your venue about layout requirements. Consider entrances, exits, accessible routes, and space for activities such as dancing or games.
For outdoor events in Colorado Springs, have a weather backup plan and choose a stable, level surface for tables and chairs.
Plan Delivery, Setup, and Pickup
Confirm when you can access your venue and when all rental equipment must be removed. Those details are especially important if your venue has a short setup window or another event scheduled afterward.
When requesting a rental quote, include:
Your event date and location
Your estimated guest count
The tables and chairs you need
Your venue’s delivery and pickup windows
Whether you’d like delivery, setup, and breakdown services
Providing these details helps us prepare an accurate quote and discuss availability for your event.
