How much does it cost to rent tables in Orlando?

Two things set this order: how many people are coming, and whether they’ll be eating at a table. Once you know both, you can work through the 5 options below.

• Round tables. A 60-inch round seats 8 with formal place settings, or 10 at a casual buffet. What separates those 2 numbers is how much table edge each guest gets. A formal setting puts 3 glasses at every seat, one each for water, wine and champagne, with the dessert flatware laid above the plate. Orlando has a lot of hotel and resort ballroom space, and if your evening is booked into one, we recommend rounds.
• Rectangular tables. An 8-foot rectangular table takes 8 to 10 guests, and a 6-foot takes 6 to 8. If you’re seating a family reunion where everyone eats together, line them up end to end into one long family-style row.
• Square tables. A 48-inch and a 60-inch square table both seat 8, and the difference is elbow room: about 24 inches of table edge per guest at the 48, closer to 30 at the 60, which leaves a center wide enough for shared platters. The 72-inch takes 12, three to a side.
• Cocktail tables. Whether you serve a meal decides how many you need. At a standing reception with no dinner, plan 1 cocktail table for every 4 or 5 guests. If you’re serving a seated dinner and the highboys are only somewhere to set a drink beforehand, order 1 per 10 guests. Leave 30 to 36 inches between them.
• Specialty and picnic tables. This group covers table shapes beyond round and rectangular: farm and harvest tables, serpentine sections that curve into an arc, sweetheart tables for two, and barrel tables. Check the pricing table below to see which ones are available before you plan a layout around one. You can browse picnic tables and specialty options on Reventals.

How much does it cost to rent chairs in Orlando?

Chairs are the simplest count here: 1 chair per guest, plus 2 or 3 spares. That leaves the style, and you have 2 to pick from:

• Folding chairs. Folding chairs usually fall into two groups: plain plastic or resin folding (AKA garden chairs). Plastic chairs do not usually come with padding, so they’re best for short ceremonies or casual events. Resin folding chairs usually come with padding or can have seating pads added onto the order, so they’re a nice upgrade if your guests will be sitting longer.
• Chiavari and luxury chairs. These are a more formal choice than folding chairs, and they typically come in gold, silver, white, black or wood. Because they look more finished, you can leave covers and sashes off the order. Chiavari chairs are padded, which is much more comfortable if your guests will be sitting all evening.

The kind of chair you should choose depends on how long your guests will be sitting. If they’ll be sitting for more than 30 minutes or so, we recommend choosing something with padding, like a resin folding chair or a garden chair.

If the event is more casual and guests are expected to be up and down, then a folding chair without padding is probably fine. And keep in mind for more formal events, it can be well worth it to rent chiavari chairs to quickly upgrade the look of the room.

How much does it cost to rent linens in Orlando?

Order 1 per table, plus a napkin per guest for a seated meal. You size a cloth by the table under it and by how far down you want it to hang, and these are the pairings:

• Round linens. A 120 takes a 60-inch round to the floor, and a 108 stops at lap height. Your cocktail tables draw off this same row and get counted separately: a 108 takes a 30-inch highboy to the floor, and a 90 does the short table of the same width. Browse round linens on Reventals.
• Rectangular linens. The 6-foot banquet table pairs with a 90 by 132 for the full drop, the 8-foot with a 90 by 156. Both go to lap height under a 60 by 120. Find rectangular linens on Reventals.
• Square linens. The 48-inch square needs a 72. On a 60-inch square, a 90 sits at lap height and a 108 reaches the floor. Browse square linens on Reventals.
• Napkins. One per guest at a seated meal. A napkin in a second color puts that color at every place setting without changing a single cloth.

Which drop you pick is a formality call. Floor length hides the legs entirely and looks more finished, so we recommend it for a wedding reception or an evening fundraiser. Lap length leaves the legs showing and keeps a table casual, which works for a lunch or a daytime shower.

Nobody is running loads of laundry the next morning either, because the linens go back to your vendor exactly as they are.

If a bar is part of your order, plan on about 1 drink per guest per hour, and count glassware against that drink total instead of your headcount.

What Else You Need to Know About Planning an Event in Orlando

Orlando’s Real Weather Pattern

Orlando has two separate weather risks worth planning around on their own terms: a daily summer storm pattern and hurricane season layered on top of it.

Daily Afternoon Storms (May–September)

From May through September, Orlando sees thunderstorms nearly every single afternoon, typically between 3pm and 5pm. Treat that as close to a daily certainty, and let it shape the event’s whole schedule as well as the backup plan.

Experienced Orlando planners build outdoor programs to wrap before 3pm, front-loading ceremonies, activities, and photos into the morning and early afternoon. If your event has to run later, plan an indoor pivot from the start, and keep your schedule flexible enough to shift a cocktail hour indoors on ten minutes’ notice. Ask any venue you’re considering how they typically handle a delayed start, since most have already built this pattern into their own day-of routine and can tell you exactly what a rain delay looks like on their property.

A tent over the main gathering area is standard practice here, not overkill. These storms tend to move through fast, and a tent buys you enough time to keep the party going outside through a quick-moving system instead of shuffling every guest indoors and back out again. Pair it with a portable dance floor if your reception is on grass or gravel, since a sudden downpour can turn bare ground into standing water quickly.

Hurricane Season (June–November)

Hurricane season runs June through November, and while Orlando sees fewer direct hits than Miami, the risk is still real enough to plan around. Orlando’s inland location doesn’t erase the risk; it just changes it from wind and storm surge to heavy rain and flooding remnants that can still shut down a venue or a flight.

The honest advice is the same as it is anywhere on this coast: have a firm indoor backup or a clear reschedule plan built in from the start, especially if your date falls deep in the season. If a meaningful share of your guest list is flying in, which is common for Orlando’s destination weddings and family reunions, a hurricane watch a few days out can also mean canceled flights, so it’s worth mentioning trip insurance to out-of-town guests when you send invitations for a date in this window.

Orlando’s Theme Park Festival Calendar

Orlando’s theme parks don’t just draw tourists. They run a festival calendar that spans nearly the entire year, shaping hotel and vendor demand citywide, well beyond the parks themselves.

EPCOT Festival of the Arts (January–February)

EPCOT opens the year with its Festival of the Arts every January and February. If you’re planning a January or February event anywhere in the broader Orlando area, check hotel availability early. Convention-heavy hotels near the parks fill up with festival-goers well before the festival’s own opening weekend, and that demand doesn’t stay contained to International Drive.

It ripples out to hotels near Winter Park, Lake Nona, and other event-friendly neighborhoods well outside the parks themselves, since travelers priced out of the closest properties simply book further out.

EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival (March–June)

The Flower & Garden Festival runs March through June, a longer stretch than most single-weekend festivals elsewhere. That length matters: it keeps spring demand elevated for a full three months.

If your event falls within this window, expect vendor and hotel demand to already be running higher than in a typical spring month, on top of the spring wedding and graduation demand this window already carries. Photographers, florists, and rental companies who work near the parks tend to book out fastest, so lock those vendors in first if your date falls here.

EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival (Late August–November)

Running since 1996, this is the single biggest festival on Orlando’s calendar, and it runs for nearly three months, from late August through November, with past years drawing attendance well into the hundreds of thousands and featuring more than 30 food and drink stands. A festival at this scale pulls on hotel rooms, rental cars, and event vendors across the entire metro, well beyond EPCOT itself.

It also overlaps directly with October and November, the two months when the climate offers the best outdoor event window of the year, so you’re competing with both the festival crowd and every other local host trying to book the same ideal fall weather. If your event falls within this window, book meaningfully earlier than you would for a typical fall date elsewhere, and lock in your venue before you start on caterers or rentals.

EPCOT Festival of the Holidays (Late November–December)

The year closes with the Festival of the Holidays, late November through December, which overlaps directly with the region’s own holiday party season. Between the festival crowd and the usual December corporate and family gatherings, this stretch books up on two fronts at once. Lock in your venue and caterer early if your event falls anywhere in this window, and don’t assume a weekday date buys you much breathing room. Holiday travelers fill hotels all week, weekdays included.

Orlando’s Real Demand Drivers Beyond Theme Parks

Two more real, structural facts shape the city independent of the festival calendar above: destination weddings and family reunions.

Destination Weddings

Orlando is a huge destination-wedding hub, drawing couples from across the US, Latin America, and Europe who choose to marry here specifically. That international and out-of-town draw means local vendors, from photographers to caterers, are used to working with couples who aren’t from here and can’t run every decision by phone the week before. If you’re planning a destination wedding in Orlando, lean on that experience: ask vendors directly how they typically handle a couple who’s coordinating from out of state or overseas, since most have a system already worked out, from digital walkthroughs to a single point of contact for the wedding week itself.

That experience also shows up in how vendors handle language and timing for guests traveling internationally, from printed programs in multiple languages to ceremony start times that account for guests arriving on the same day. If your ceremony or reception is outdoors, ask early about a backup covered space or a rented dance floor and lighting setup, since a couple flying in family from overseas doesn’t get a second try at the date if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Family Reunions

Orlando is one of the country’s biggest family-vacation destinations, and that pulls large, multi-generational family reunions here from all over the US. Planning for one of these is a different job than a typical single-family party. You’re coordinating around nap schedules for toddlers and mobility needs for grandparents in the same event, often over several days, and usually across multiple hotel rooms or a rented house instead of one home base.

Feeding a group that size across several days is its own logistics problem. Renting a few extra tables and chairs for a shared meal, plus a beverage dispenser to keep drinks cold without someone refilling a cooler with ice twice a day will keep everyone comfortable.

Orlando’s Peak Season Runs Nearly Year-Round

In most markets, “off-season” is a real concern that you can plan around to get better pricing and/or a closer date. Here, it barely exists. Between the ideal outdoor weather window in October and November and steady summer family-event volume despite the heat, the city stays busy almost continuously. So even if you’re just booking tables, chairs, linens, and other rental basics, you’ll want to book well in advance of your party or event.

January, right after the holidays wrap up, comes closest to a lull in traffic. If your date has any flexibility at all, this is the stretch to aim for. Outside of it, book meaningfully earlier than you might in a market with a clearer off-season, since there’s rarely a quiet month to fall back on if your first-choice date doesn’t work out. An experienced Orlando planner treats every date as if it falls near some kind of peak, and only relaxes that assumption once a venue actually confirms otherwise.

Planning for Out-of-Town Guests

Because Orlando’s identity leans so heavily on destination weddings and family reunions, a high share of guests at events here fly in. That changes what actually needs planning.

A hotel room block near your venue solves a real problem once a meaningful share of your guest list is traveling: it keeps everyone close together, gives you group rates worth asking for, and makes it easier to coordinate shuttles or shared transportation. Proximity to Orlando International Airport is worth weighing directly in your venue choice too, since a shorter airport transfer matters more here than in a market where most guests are driving in from across town.

Orlando’s hotel and resort infrastructure, built around hosting travelers as a top US convention city, makes all of this more routine here than in a market built mostly around local guest lists.

Permits and Regulations in Orlando

Start with the address, because Orange County and the City of Orlando run separate permit processes and your site sits under one of them. Orange County Parks and Recreation treats a group of 25 or more at one of its parks as an event that needs a permit. That is lower than most people expect, so count your guest list before you assume a park afternoon needs no paperwork. On City of Orlando property, the city’s own special event permit applies once you pass 100 people or block a roadway, and that application goes through a different office than the county’s. Ask whoever manages your site which of the two you’re dealing with, and how long their approval takes.

Venues in Orlando

Orlando’s private-event venues range from lakeside settings to industrial-chic event spaces, a different flavor from the convention hotels most people picture when they think of Orlando. The Acre Orlando, in the Milk District, is an industrial-style space that’s become one of the most in-demand event venues in the city. Paradise Cove is a lakefront venue near Disney Springs, a popular pick for couples who want water views without leaving the tourist corridor.

Between the lake-adjacent settings, hotel ballrooms built for convention-scale events, and private estate venues in areas like Winter Park, Orlando has real range once you look past the theme parks themselves. Given how much of the local event calendar is destination weddings and family reunions, most of these venues are also well-practiced at working with out-of-town guests, from room blocks to shuttle coordination, which is worth asking about directly when you tour a space.
