With event venues, hotels and party rental companies, there is definitely a case for purchasing 66 inch round folding tables. As mentioned in our previous post, 66 inch round folding tables allow for 10 people to be seated comfortably at a table for dinner, while allowing more tables (and thus more people) into the event space than a 72 inch round folding table. If you're looking to invest in new round banquet tables, ensuring that you have approximate costs for budgeting purposes as well as an idea of how many extra people can fit into the space makes a huge difference in asking management for additional funds. So it's not surprising that one of the questions we often get asked is "How much do 66 inch round folding tables cost in Canada?" We've rounded up the range in cost of 66 inch round tables available to purchase in Canada for easy reference below.

66 inch round folding tables vary in price quite dramatically. The reasoning behind this is because of the structure of the table, material the table is made of, distribution of table and the brand of table. If you're looking for 66 inch round folding tables, be sure to budget approximately $120.00CDN - $580.00CDN per table. Wood folding tables will be the least expensive of the round banquet tables mentioned in this post. That doesn't necessarily mean that they’re not solid (as we've proven in our product testing videos). ABS plastic folding tables will be middle of the road in terms of budget and are more expensive than wood folding tables as they feature a honeycomb core to increase their strength – which increases manufacturing costs. Laminate on wood folding tables will be the most expensive as they are often made in the USA which has more costly labour and production expenses. They are able to be set up without polyester tablecloths though.

The wedding industry is a trend driven industry with a lot of competition. Party Rental Companies, Caterers and Event venues need to be monitoring these trends to ensure they’re staying on trend and generating business. With it officially being fall, I thought rounding up the top fall wedding trends for 2014 would help our customers and prospects alike refresh their showrooms, menus and venues to attract the events they want to win.

Crystal martini glasses are often used in high-end restaurants, golf courses and event venues to reflect and enhance the atmosphere. But if a restaurant or event venue is either opening for the first time or looking to create a more luxurious look, one of the things that is extremely important is budget. With profit margins slim and breakage costs to be factored in, operations managers, chefs and foodservice operators / owners often ask "How much do crystal martini glasses cost in Canada?"

This blog post attempts to round up the range of costs associated with purchasing crystal martini glasses so purchasers can budget appropriately.

The cost of crystal martini glasses varies tremendously depending on the look and size of glass you want. Martini glasses in Canada generally come in a 5oz – 10oz volume and are made of either lead-free crystal or lead crystal. (If you're interested in learning more about the difference between lead-free crystal and lead crystal, refer to our earlier blog post here). Price also depends on whether the glass has been hand cut, hand blown, or machine made. Machine made martini glasses allow for a more uniformed and consistent shape while hand blown crystal can have shape inconsistencies (though most are hard to tell with your naked eye). Hand blown also tends to be much more expensive because they're often blown through highly paid highly skilled craftsmen. Hand cut refers to the grooves cut in the crystal creating patterns that catch the light and eye. A crystal martini glass therefore varies in price from $2.85 wholesale up to $112.50 retail.

Shipping prices for crystal martini glasses are calculated based on the shipping cubic measurements instead of the weight – because glasses are mostly air and take up more space. You would be looking at a minimum of $1.40 per glass.

Hopefully this blog post helps with your budgeting when looking to purchase crystal martini glasses.

Since the owners first acquired this business we have been getting asked for Bone China. We knew that this kind of dinnerware offering was in high demand especially for high-end luxury events but we were unable to secure enough space to stock it and the right manufacturer to help us bring it to market. This year – we are able to do so. I am pleased to announce our new line of Lucido Bone China Dinnerware – now in stock at our Mississauga, Ontario headquarters.

As a rental company, being able to offer customers three different price points of dinnerware – in Pearl White dinnerware, Quadrato Square Dinnerware and Bone China – allows you to attract all levels of events and appeal to the widest customer base in your market. Bone China plates allow you to offer a higher priced dinnerware rental. The translucent brilliant white that comes from a bone china plate makes for an impeccable table setting that really sets off the food and decor.

Our Lucido fine bone china comes is the following items:

• Lucido Bone China 12” Oversize Plate
• Lucido Bone China 10.5” Dinner Plate
• Lucido Bone China 9” Luncheon Plate
• Lucido Bone China 8.5” Soup Plate
• Lucido Bone China 7.5” Dessert Plate
• Lucido Bone China 6” Side Plate
• Lucido Bone China 8oz Cup and Saucer

Round folding tables usually come in standard sizes such as 4ft (48"), 5ft (60") and 6ft (72") rounds and are designed to hold 6 people, 8-10 people and 10-12 people respectively. In the last decade, there has emerged another size that has become a popular option for party rental companies and event venues to own-the 66 inch round folding table (5.5 foot round folding table).

66 inch round folding tables are perfect for events because they allow venues to sit 10 people comfortably at the table while fitting more tables in the room because the circumference is 6” less than a 6ft round.

As a former corporate event planner, I was constantly playing the numbers game with the hotel venue we held our annual event at. I had a strict hold on a ballroom that only fit 300 people when the stage, screens and decoration was all set. Problem was...we had a better than estimated registration rate. 66 inch round folding tables could have been the perfect solution for me because it would’ve allowed more people in the venue than a 72" standard ballroom round folding table allows.

Hopefully this short blog post answers the question of what the purpose of a 66 inch round folding table is and why event venues buy them.
