Linen Color Guide — 9 Tablecloth Colors, 6 Chair Cover Colors
Most rental companies stock 2-3 linen colors. We stock 9 round tablecloth colors and 6 spandex chair cover colors so we can match almost any wedding palette, corporate color scheme, sweet 16 theme, or holiday celebration without forcing you to compromise.
Available in White, Ivory, Light Ivory/Off-White, Black, Navy Blue, Gray/Silver, Red Apple, Brown, and Baby Blue. Designed for 5 ft round wedding tables — drapes elegantly to the floor.
Available in White, Black, Champagne, Burgundy, Ivory, and Silver. Stretches over folding chairs for an instant wedding-grade upgrade. Champagne is the most popular for weddings; Burgundy is the standard for fall events.

Tables, chairs, and linens are the backbone of any seated event in Central Connecticut. Whether you're hosting an upscale wedding with Gold Chiavari chairs and champagne linens, a corporate picnic with metal folding chairs and white covers, or a kids' birthday with bright table sets — we've stocked the inventory and managed the logistics for thousands of events across Meriden, Wallingford, Hartford, Glastonbury, Cheshire, Middletown, and the rest of Central CT since 2008.
Why Central CT books Meriden Party Rentals for tables, chairs & linens
Most rental companies in Central Connecticut stock 2-3 linen colors and a basic folding chair lineup. We stock 9 round tablecloth colors, 6 spandex chair cover colors, and 6 chair styles ranging from $1.95 metal folding to wedding-grade Gold and Clear Chiavari. That range is the difference between matching a bride's exact champagne-and-burgundy palette versus being stuck with white-on-white because that's all the local company had.
NEW for April 2025: Gold Chiavari Chairs and White Garden Chairs. The Gold Chiavari is the wedding industry standard for upscale ceremonies — same chair you'd find at a high-end wedding venue, at a fraction of what those venues charge. The White Garden Chair fills the gap between a basic folding chair and a Chiavari for backyard weddings that want the ceremony to feel polished without going full luxury.
200+ chair orders automatically qualify for delivery. We know that bigger weddings, large fundraisers, and corporate events shouldn't need to figure out logistics on their own — at that scale, we handle setup. Below 200 chairs, the standard is pickup unless you bundle with a tent or inflatable, which most bigger events do anyway.
We've been doing this since 2008. We've outfitted backyards, country clubs, vineyards, churches, and barn venues throughout Meriden, Wallingford, Hartford, Glastonbury, Farmington, Cheshire, Middletown, New Britain, and the rest of Central CT. Wedding planners call us first because we have the inventory; family hosts call us because we make the logistics simple.
All linens are professionally cleaned and pressed before every event. All chairs are inspected. For weddings, book 2-3 months ahead during peak season (April through October) — our wedding-grade Chiavari chairs and rare linen colors book first.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tables, Chairs & Linen Rentals
Are tables and chairs delivered or pickup-only?
Tables and chairs are pickup-only at our Meriden location with two delivery exceptions: (1) bundle them with an inflatable or tent rental and we'll deliver everything together, OR (2) order 200+ chairs and delivery is automatic. For Saturday rentals, pickup is on Friday. Always call (203) 907-9846 one hour before you arrive.
How many chairs do I need for 100 guests?
Plan on 105-115 chairs for 100 guests — order 5-10% more than your guest count to account for late arrivals, kids, and chair re-arrangements during the event. For a 100-guest wedding with seated dinner, you'll also want 13 round wedding tables (seat 8 each), plus 2-3 vendor/DJ tables, plus 6-8 cocktail high-tops for the cocktail hour.
How many people fit at a 5 ft round wedding table?
A 5 ft (60-inch) round wedding table comfortably seats 8 guests. You can squeeze 10 in tight setups, but plates and centerpieces get crowded. For 8 ft rectangular tables, plan 8-10 seated. For 6 ft tables, 6-8 seated. For 4 ft tables, 4-6 seated. Cocktail high-tops are standing-only.
What's a Chiavari chair and why is it more expensive?
A Chiavari chair is the wedding-industry standard chair — elegant cross-back design, made from solid wood or acrylic. It's what you see at upscale wedding venues. Our Gold Chiavari ($6.99) is wedding-grade polished gold; our Clear Chiavari ($7.99) is crystal-clear acrylic for modern weddings. For backyard weddings and upscale events, Chiavari chairs visibly elevate the look — and they're noticeably more expensive than standard folding chairs because they're heavier, more durable, and the wedding-industry standard.
What linen colors do you offer?
9 round tablecloth colors: White, Ivory, Light Ivory/Off-White, Black, Navy Blue, Gray/Silver, Red Apple, Brown, Baby Blue. 6 spandex chair cover colors: White, Black, Champagne, Burgundy, Ivory, Silver. Cocktail high-top covers: Navy Blue, White, Black, Silver. Plus 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft spandex and polyester table covers in White and Black. Most local rental companies stock 2-3 colors total.
Are the linens cleaned and pressed?
Yes — all linens are professionally cleaned, pressed, and event-ready before every booking. Chair covers are stretched on for a clean fit. Tablecloths are folded and bagged for easy handling. We've never sent out a wrinkled linen.
What sizes of cocktail tables do you have?
We stock 32-inch cocktail high-tops ($12 each) — these are standing-only tables for hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and cocktail hour. Available with Navy Blue, White, Black, or Silver spandex covers ($9 each). Plan 1 cocktail high-top per 10-15 cocktail-hour guests for comfortable spacing.
Do you have kids' tables and chairs?
Yes — Kids Chairs are $2.25 each, Kids Tables are $10 each, or you can book the Kids Table & Chair Set for $25. Perfect for kids' birthday parties, weddings with a dedicated kids' area, school events, and church functions.
Do I need a tent if I'm renting tables and chairs for an outdoor event?
For weddings and formal events, almost always yes — a tent provides shade, weather protection, and visually defines the event space. For casual backyard parties, graduations, and family reunions, a tent is optional but recommended if there's any chance of rain or strong sun. Bundling tables, chairs, linens, and a tent saves money and unlocks delivery on the tables and chairs. See our tent rentals or ask about tent packages.
Can you set up the tables and chairs for me?
When tables and chairs are bundled with a tent rental, our crew sets up everything together — tables in your seating layout, chairs around the tables, linens placed where you want them. For pickup orders, you'll handle setup. For 200+ chair orders qualifying for delivery, we deliver and stack chairs at your location; setup beyond that is available as an add-on for an additional fee.
Do I need to clean the tables and chairs before returning them?
Wipe off any major food spills, but no — you don't need to deep-clean anything. We professionally clean every chair, table, and linen between events. Linens go straight to our cleaning service even if they look unused. Just stack chairs and fold tables as you'd received them.
How far in advance should I reserve for a wedding or graduation?
For weddings, book 2-3 months ahead during peak season (April-October) — wedding-grade Chiavari chairs and rare linen colors book first. For graduations, book by early spring (graduation season is short and concentrated in May-June). Backyard parties, corporate events, and casual gatherings typically have more flexibility, but 4-6 weeks is safe.
What towns do you deliver tables, chairs, and linens to?
We deliver tables, chairs, and linens (when bundled with a tent or inflatable, OR for 200+ chair orders) across all of Central Connecticut — including Meriden, Wallingford, Middletown, Southington, Cheshire, Rocky Hill, Cromwell, North Haven, Newington, Wethersfield, New Britain, New Haven, Glastonbury, Hartford, Farmington, Berlin, West Hartford, East Hartford, Hamden, Durham, Portland, Bristol, Middlefield, Wolcott, Northford, East Haven, Haddam, and surrounding Connecticut communities. Smaller orders are pickup-only from our Meriden location unless bundled with an inflatable or tent. Call (203) 907-9846 to confirm.
