Rentals only — delivery, setup and damage waiver are quoted separately.
Why a range? Picking your table and chair styles below narrows it. The rest of the spread comes from the other categories — the low end assumes a practical setup, the high end a more formal one.

Real prices depend on your dates and what's available.

How much does it cost to rent tables in Westchester?
A 60-inch round seats 8 with formal place settings, or 10 at a casual buffet. Elbow room is what separates those 2 numbers. A formal setting takes 3 glasses per person, water and wine and champagne, plus dessert flatware across the top of the plate. Fit all of that around a 60-inch round and 8 places is where it stops. So a guest list of 150 comes to 19 rounds for a plated dinner, and about 15 when people are up at a buffet.
For a different look, run long tables down the room. That layout fits the wineries and orchards up in northern Westchester. An 8-foot rectangle seats 8 to 10, and a 6-foot seats 6 to 8. Specialty and picnic tables come as one piece with their benches, so they are a single line on the order instead of a table plus chairs. Squares are a third option: 8 guests at 48 inches across and again at 60, then 12 once you reach 72.
How many cocktail tables you need swings on 1 question: is there a sit-down meal? For a standing reception where nobody eats at a table, order 1 cocktail table for every 4 or 5 guests. Add a seated dinner and the highboys are busy only for the hour before it, which brings the count down to 1 per 10 guests. Give each one 30 to 36 inches of open floor around it, which is what a guest needs to get past a group holding drinks.
Westchester table rates look like this:
Tables
| Item | Typical day rate |
|---|---|
| Specialty & Picnic Tables | ~$36 |
| Square Tables | ~$14 |
| Rectangular Tables | ~$13 |
| Cocktail Tables | ~$13 |
| Round Tables | ~$8 |
How much does it cost to rent chairs in Westchester?
Count 1 chair per guest, then add a few on top for a head table and for the replies that arrive late. There are 4 styles to pick from here, and how much of the event a guest spends sitting down is what sorts them out:
- Poly folding chairs. Light, stackable and unpadded. That is what makes a fast flip possible, so two people can reset a room while guests are outside with a drink. Nobody notices a bare seat during a 30-minute ceremony.
- Chiavari and luxury chairs. The formal choice, in gold, silver, white, black or wood. They arrive finished, so you can leave covers and sashes off the order. These are padded, so they’re more comfortable for formal, seated dinners.
- Barstools. A few of these give guests somewhere to sit during the standing hour, at the right height for your cocktail tables.
- Benches and other seating. The pick when you are setting long tables and want the room informal. Nobody has an assigned seat, so guests sit where they land and slide down to make room, which suits a family-style dinner or a casual party more than a formal one. Ask your vendor how many each bench takes, and set your chair count against that.
Underneath all 4: a 4-hour seated dinner wants padding. A ceremony that runs 30 minutes does not.
Chair pricing across Westchester:
Chairs
| Item | Typical day rate |
|---|---|
| Barstools | ~$20 |
| Benches & Other Chairs | ~$15 |
| Luxury & Chiavari Chairs | ~$9 |
| Folding Chairs | ~$3 |
How much does it cost to rent linens in Westchester?
Order 1 per table, plus a napkin per guest for a seated meal. A cloth is made for a single table at a single drop length, and no formula gets you there from the table’s dimensions, so look up the pairing for every table on your order:
- Round. A 120 drops a 60-inch round to the floor. A 108 stops at lap height.
- Rectangular. A 6-foot banquet wants a 90 by 132 for the floor, and an 8-foot wants a 90 by 156. Lap length on either one is a 60 by 120.
- Square. A 48-inch square pairs with a 72. At 60 inches, a 90 covers it at lap height and a 108 reaches the floor.
Floor length hides the legs and reads dressier. Lap length shows them and fits a daytime party. Cocktail tables are a separate count again, sized by height as much as width, so a highboy and a short table of the same width take different cloths.
Chair covers and sashes ride along on the linen order, and they are what brings folding chairs into your color scheme. And a napkin ends up in every guest’s hands, so that is where a second color does the most work if you want the cloths quiet. Cleaning stays with the vendor at both ends of the rental, so no laundry follows you home.
What linens go for in Westchester:
Linens
| Item | Typical day rate |
|---|---|
| Rectangular Linens | ~$34 |
| Round Linens | ~$26 |
| Square Linens | ~$10 |
| Chair Covers & Accessories | ~$3 |
| Napkins | ~$2 |
How much does it cost to rent bar and glassware in Westchester?
Figure 1 drink per guest per hour of service. A 4-hour reception for 150 guests comes to about 600 drinks, and the way those drinks divide up is what tells you which glasses to order. Across a mixed bar, beer is about 40% of the total, wine about 36%, and cocktails, water and everything else the remaining 24%. On 600 drinks, that is roughly 240 beers, 216 wines, and 144 glassware covering the rest.
Your venue can change that count. If glassware gets washed on site during the event, the same glasses come back around and you can order about 25% fewer, so ask before you settle the number. Draft beer needs glassware; bottles and cans may not. For a simpler order, rocks glasses are the versatile shape, since 1 of them covers several different drinks.
A toast is its own count: 1 flute per guest, poured once and cleared. A 750ml bottle of champagne covers 8 guests with a half glass each.
For the bar itself, start with what the space already holds. Some rooms have one built in, and some hand you a corner with an outlet. A portable bar turns any corner into one: a surface to pour on, and room beneath it for ice and bottles. Staffing comes with that question, because venues generally require a certified bartender and do not allow guests to pour for themselves. Sort out early which of your vendors is supplying that person.
Here’s where bar and glassware pricing sits in Westchester:
Bar and glassware
| Item | Typical day rate |
|---|---|
| Bars | ~$100 |
| Wine & Champagne Glasses | ~$1 |
| Specialty Glasses | ~$0.70 |
How much does it cost to rent lounge furniture in Westchester?
Plan on roughly 1 grouping per 100 guests, so 150 guests is 1 or 2 of them. You can book a grouping as a set or assemble one yourself: start with a sofa or a settee, add chairs and ottomans on either side, and put a coffee table or a side table where everyone can reach it.
Ask for a square ottoman by name. It gives you a seat someone can take from any side, so the group stays open to whoever wants to join in, and it fills a gap without walling the conversation off.
Westchester’s corporate side is a real part of the county’s event calendar, with IBM, PepsiCo and MasterCard anchoring offices here. At a reception with no sit-down dinner, the seats you bring are the only seats in the room, and a couple of groupings of lounge furniture give guests somewhere to settle between conversations.
Place each one against a wall or in a corner, clear of the guests crossing the floor, and far enough from the speakers that people can hear each other.
Lounge furniture pricing in the county:
Furniture
| Item | Typical day rate |
|---|---|
| Lounge Furniture | ~$585 |
| Sofas & Settees | ~$150 |
| Chairs & Ottomans | ~$90 |
| Coffee Tables & Side Tables | ~$50 |
How much does it cost to rent decor in Westchester?
Start with the room you booked. Some spaces arrive finished and ask very little of you. A wide open floor is where these pieces do the most work.
Pipe and drape builds a temporary wall wherever you need one. Hang a run behind a head table for a backdrop, across a service door, or along the far side of a hall that is larger than your guest count. There is no standard formula for how much drape a space takes, so measure the span you want covered in feet and give your vendor that figure when you ask for a quote.
Stanchions show guests where to walk. Set a pair at the entrance so arriving guests know which door is yours, and use a few more to hold a clear path around a gift or cake table.
Centerpieces and table decor get ordered by the table, so once your table count is settled, this number comes with it.
Decor rates in Westchester:
Decor
| Item | Typical day rate |
|---|---|
| Pipe & Drape | ~$20 |
| Stanchions | ~$15 |
| Table Decor | ~$12 |
How much does it cost to rent inflatables in Westchester?
These are for the kids on your guest list. Count them first, then work out where a unit can stand. Grass is the right surface. Sloped or bumpy ground will not work, and neither will concrete or a patio. Check what is overhead too, because a low branch or a cable will be in the way once the unit is fully inflated.
Westchester’s outdoor window runs May through September, and summer afternoons here sit in the 80s and low 90s with real humidity. Heat like that is what a water slide is built for. Thunderstorms come with those same afternoons, and no vendor sets up or keeps a unit running through a storm or high wind, so line up something indoors for the kids in case the forecast turns.
Power is the last piece. Most of these run on standard household power, so a 110-volt outlet within reach of the blower is enough. Where there is no outlet nearby, a generator covers it: a slide on a 1.5 horsepower blower pulls about 1,035 running watts and surges to 2,000 when it starts up, so pass those 2 figures to your generator supplier. Setup belongs to your vendor. Supervision belongs to you, so an adult stays with the unit the entire time kids are on it, and the rider limit printed on it is the real number. Shoes, food and drinks all stay outside.
And here’s what inflatables run around Westchester:
Inflatables
| Item | Typical day rate |
|---|---|
| Obstacle Courses | ~$475 |
| Inflatable Games | ~$440 |
| Dry / Water Slides | ~$281 |
What Else You Need to Know About Planning an Event in Westchester
Fall Foliage Drives Booking Decisions
In Westchester, September and October bring excellent foliage and ideal outdoor conditions, and October specifically drives real event and wedding decisions, more than simple roadside scenery.
Westchester’s overall best outdoor season runs May through September, with October standing apart as its own distinct, foliage-driven peak, worth targeting deliberately if the visual backdrop matters to your event.
Westchester’s Premium Wine & Food Festival (June)
Every June, Westchester Magazine’s Wine & Food Festival gives the county’s high-budget event reputation a real, checkable event to point to, with signature moments like Burgers Beer & Barrels, the Grand Tasting Village, and Party on the Pier at Playland.
That kind of programming signals genuine scale, which is a different thing from affluence, and it’s worth knowing about even if your own event has nothing to do with the festival, since it draws real crowds and vendor attention across the county that same month.
Yorktown Grange Fair: Westchester’s Yearly Agricultural Fair
Yorktown Grange Fair, held every mid-September, is Westchester’s only agricultural fair and a genuine tradition running more than a century. It’s proof this county has real texture beyond estate venues and catering halls, worth knowing whether or not it fits your event’s style, and worth checking against your date if you want a nearby venue that same weekend.
Westchester’s Corporate Base and Community Traditions
Westchester’s event economy runs on more than residential lifestyle events. IBM, PepsiCo, and MasterCard all anchor or have anchored a real corporate presence here, supporting a genuine corporate-event market with budget expectations to match the county’s overall affluence, distinct from the wedding-and-lifecycle-event focus that dominates most Westchester content.
Separately, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, and New Rochelle’s Italian-American community supports its own real, sizable milestone-celebration market, structured similarly to the Jewish lifecycle-event market covered below, and worth knowing about if you’re a vendor building out a client base in those specific towns.
And genuine equestrian culture, real horse shows and equestrian events, adds another layer to the county’s event fabric as something distinct from the estate-venue and catering-hall norm most people associate with Westchester.
Bar and Bat Mitzvah Season and the Jewish High Holidays
Westchester’s large Jewish community, centered in towns like Scarsdale, Larchmont, and Ardsley, supports an elaborate, well-budgeted lifecycle-event market. Bar and bat mitzvahs and weddings here are a real, sizable segment of the local event economy.
The Jewish High Holiday season, September into October, brings significant event activity that overlaps directly with foliage-driven wedding demand, so expect real competition for venues if your date falls in that window regardless of what you’re celebrating.
How Far Ahead to Book Around Westchester’s Calendar
Outside Westchester’s peak windows, a typical lead time works fine. Inside them, plan further ahead, especially in October.
June through September is the primary outdoor window, layered with the Wine & Food Festival in June. September into October brings fall foliage weddings, the High Holiday season, and Yorktown Grange Fair all at once, making it the single tightest stretch to book around all year.
May and June bring graduation season, and December brings holiday parties. One more thing worth knowing regardless of season: vendor expectations here run high, and full-service, premium setups are the norm, so set that expectation for yourself early.
Permits and Regulations in Westchester
Permits in Westchester follow the address more than the event, so begin with the property you have booked. Ask whoever manages that site what applies there, and ask early, since the answer can shape your setup schedule. A private venue can usually tell you what it already holds and what is left to you, and that is a short phone call. Serving alcohol calls for a state license on top of whatever the site itself requires.
Venues in Westchester
Historic estate venues like Lyndhurst and Caramoor offer the grandeur Westchester is known for, and both remain active, bookable venues, unlike some historic properties in the county that no longer host private events. The county’s catering-hall tradition runs strong too, a reliable option if you want full-service polish without an estate-sized budget.
Wineries and orchards in northern Westchester add a more rustic option if that fits your event better, and Glen Island Park in New Rochelle offers a county-run alternative if you want a public venue.
Private estate venues in Bedford, Pound Ridge, and Chappaqua sit at the higher end if you want something more secluded. And Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown add genuine Hudson River waterfront options if you want water as part of the setting.
