Need help with wedding Caterers?????

Well the caterers that I am going with for my wedding don't provide plates, glasses, etc. What should I do?? Do places rent that kind of stuff. I don't even know if I want to mess with all of that. Should I just change caterers or what? Can you please help me with some ideas. ThanksNeed help with wedding Caterers?????
Yes there are company's that will rent that, but you may have a hard time finding them. I am sure the cater knows a company that will rent them to you though. I am sure that they work with a company. ( Don't use paper plates like the first answer suggested that's tacky!) Good Luck!
You can rent, change caterers, or use plastic (real looking) plates and flatware. Your choice. I would figure out the options before signing a contract with anyone.Need help with wedding Caterers?????
I would look around for other caterers. Honestly your not going to have time to deal with all that. If you think you do though Party 1 Superstore may have them. I really don't know. Im sure there are places to rent them though. Or if your arent wanting anything that fancy just go to Sam's Club and buy them.
I think that before I signed anything I might shop around to other caterers in the area. I know I had all that stuff myself when I catered years ago including decor for the serving tables. We are using high end disposables since we are DIY all the way , the link is below. This will take you directly to ours, but then you can navigate around for yourself within the disposables. Places do rent this kind of thing also in real china form but it is about as expensive as the disposables . We decided on the disposables for both clean up and sanitation but the choice is yours. You can also find high end disposables at places like Sams club and Costco.

Be sure to check out the reflections flatware it is nice too
You will already have enough stress to deal with without having to make sure that serving pieces, linens, glasses, etc are delivered to your reception site unless you hire a wedding coordinator or change caterers. The caterer you are currently considering may take care of these items for you for an additional charge, which isn't unusual.



There are places that rent linens, silverware, glassware, dishes, etc. You can do a search for party rentals on the internet but as I mentioned above do you really want to deal with all the stress??
Yes, you can rent plates, glasses it depends on what city you live in there is a place called Any Occasion Party Rental in Houston. So, there are places go online and look them up in your area. But I would also consider a new caterer less hassle.
You can either change caterers or you can get paper plates and can get wine glasses pretty cheap in bulk.
Most caterers don't provide plates and glasses because most facilities provide plates and glasses. It's always a good idea to coordinate the two, because the only thing worse than having two sets of dishware is having none.



Have you talked to your facility and checked to see if you can rent the dishware separately, if it isn't already part of your rental package?
A caterer that provides those things, of course, will charge more.



Most towns have rental places and yes, you can rent all of that. Look under party rentals - even the little town I grew up in had a good rental place that had about everything imaginable.



You can also look at places like party city and smart and final - they have crystal clear plastic plates, etc (if it's a less formal event) that is very pretty and not entirely "casual".
Robin, I will tell you what my niece did. She rented a senior/community center. She got the place for Sat and Sunday since they are closed on Sunday for $200. In the kitchen were the plates, silverware, cups and glasses. Whatever she needed. She used a hometown diner and they catered the reception for like $9 a person. Just remember someone has to clean up after wards but you have till Monday morning to hand in the key.
