Table Rentals in Phoenix, Arizona

Browse Tables by Type

Every floor plan starts with one number: how many people at a table. A 48-inch round seats 6. A 60-inch round seats 8, and it is the workhorse of Phoenix event rentals. A 72-inch round seats 10. A 4ft banquet seats 4 to 6, a 6ft banquet seats 6 to 8, and an 8ft banquet seats 8 to 10. Work from those counts rather than dividing guests by tables, because the table dictates the seating, not the other way round.

Rounds and banquets do different things to a room. Rounds are better for conversation: nobody is more than two seats from anyone else, and guests can see the whole table. Banquets seat more people in the same square footage and suit long rooms, family-style service and head tables. Most weddings run rounds through the guest tables and a banquet or Kings table at the head. The 8ft Kings table is wider than a standard 8ft banquet, which is why it holds a centerpiece run without crowding place settings.

Space per table matters more than table count. Allow roughly a 10ft by 10ft square of floor for each 60-inch round once you include chairs and the aisle behind them, and about 12ft by 12ft for a 72-inch. Leave four to five feet between table edges so servers can pass. A ballroom that fits twenty tables on paper usually fits sixteen once you add a dance floor, a bar and a band.

For standing space, 30-inch bistro rounds are the cocktail-hour workhorse. Plan one per 8 to 10 guests during a cocktail hour, and keep them out of the main traffic lane between the entrance and the bar. They also work scattered through a reception for guests who wander away from their seats.

Serpentine tables are the piece most people do not know to ask for. They are curved sections that join into a circle, a semicircle or an S, used for buffets, dessert displays, gift tables and bar fronts where a straight run of rectangles would look institutional. Ask for them when the table is part of the design rather than just a surface.

Beyond the folding range we stock a designer dining collection built for events where the table is not covered by a linen: Leo, Sawyer, Serpentine, Edison, Raven, Graham, Hugo and Oakley, in ash, brown, black and white finishes, plus bistro tables in gold, silver and a glowing cube. Folding tables are meant to be draped. Designer tables are meant to be seen. Tell us which look you are after and we will send options in your palette.

Chairs are rented separately and have their own page, with dining chairs, folding chairs, barstools and accent seating. Plan your chair count from the table counts above: eight chairs per 60-inch round, ten per 72-inch round, and one per linear two feet on a banquet table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Details to help plan your Epic Party Team rental order

How many people does a 60 inch round table seat?+
Eight. A 48-inch round seats 6 and a 72-inch round seats 10. The 60-inch round is the most commonly used size at Phoenix weddings and galas because it balances conversation against floor space.
How many people fit at a 6ft or 8ft banquet table?+
A 6ft banquet seats 6 to 8 and an 8ft banquet seats 8 to 10, depending on whether you seat the ends. A 4ft banquet seats 4 to 6. Seating the ends adds two per table but tightens the place settings.
What table sizes do you rent?+
Folding rounds in 48, 60 and 72 inches; 30-inch bistro rounds; 4ft, 6ft and 8ft banquets; 4ft and 5ft squares; an 8ft conference table; an 8ft Kings table; serpentine sections; plus a designer dining collection and bistro tables.
How much floor space does each table need?+
Budget about 10ft by 10ft per 60-inch round and 12ft by 12ft per 72-inch, including chairs and the aisle behind them. Leave four to five feet between table edges for service. Most rooms fit fewer tables than the raw square footage suggests once a dance floor and bar are placed.
Should I use round tables or banquet tables?+
Rounds are better for conversation because no guest is more than two seats from another. Banquets fit more people into the same footprint and suit long rooms, family-style service and head tables. Many events use both: rounds for guests, a banquet or Kings table at the head.
What is a Kings table?+
A Kings table is a wider version of a standard 8ft banquet, used for head tables and long family-style seating. The extra width leaves room for a continuous centerpiece run down the middle without crowding place settings.
What are serpentine tables used for?+
Serpentine tables are curved sections that join into a circle, semicircle or S-shape. They are used for buffets, dessert displays, gift tables and bar fronts where a straight run of rectangles would look institutional.
How many cocktail tables do I need?+
Plan one 30-inch bistro round per 8 to 10 guests for a cocktail hour. Keep them clear of the main path between the entrance and the bar, since a table in a traffic lane creates a bottleneck rather than a gathering point.
What size linen fits your tables?+
A 120-inch round drapes a 60-inch table to the floor and a 132-inch round covers a 72-inch. A 6ft banquet takes a 90 by 132; an 8ft banquet takes a 90 by 156. Lap-length drops sit one size smaller and are common on conference tables.
What is the difference between your folding tables and designer tables?+
Folding tables are built to be draped: the linen is the finish. Designer tables are built to be seen, in ash, brown, black and white wood with finished edges and bases, so they are used bare or with a runner. The choice usually comes down to whether the tabletop is part of the design.
Do you rent table risers?+
Yes. We stock a 6ft banquet table riser, used to lift a section of a buffet or display so the food and props sit at different heights instead of one flat line.
