Table Tales

Last reviewed: August 8, 2026. Business status: Active.

Table Tales is a specialty provider of Toronto wedding tableware rentals, with an appointment-only showroom in Scarborough. Its official website describes a Toronto-based collection serving the GTA and clients beyond the region, including weddings, dinner parties and other events. The catalogue focuses on coordinated tabletop pieces rather than presenting the business as a general venue or full wedding-planning service.

Couples can browse individual rental products online before submitting their event date, venue and guest count for availability and a quote. The current official identity is Table Tales Inc. at tabletales.ca; the address, telephone number and website previously stored in the Canada Wedding Guide record have therefore been replaced with details published by the company.

Services and specialization

Table Tales describes itself as a modern, full-service specialty tabletop event rental company. Its documented categories include charger plates, dinnerware, flatware, glassware, napkins, table runners, tablecloths, accessories, lamps and a small chair collection. The inventory includes coordinated pieces suited to different visual directions, including modern, classic, garden-inspired, colourful and bohemian settings.

The company says some pieces are custom designed or sourced with artisans and that its event specialists can help translate a client’s visual direction into a rental selection. It also develops mock table settings to help clients visualize combinations. This assistance should not be confused with automatic on-site setup: the company’s FAQ says setup is not typically provided for tableware orders and must be requested separately.

• Specialty charger plates, plates, cutlery and glassware
• Napkins, runners, tablecloths and tabletop accessories
• Selected lamps, decorative pieces and dining chairs
• Online inspiration galleries and in-person showroom appointments

Rental process and timing

Couples can begin with the online catalogue and then use the contact form or email hello@tabletales.ca. Table Tales reviews the request and confirms product availability. The company recommends reserving as soon as possible; merchandise is not secured until it receives both a signed contract and a 50% non-refundable deposit.

Items are generally quoted for one-day use. For customer pickup, the FAQ says collection may be arranged one business day before the event and return one business day afterward. Longer rental periods require a separate rate. Final payment and final quantities are due no later than 14 days before the event, with quantity-reduction rules applying during the preceding weeks.

• Availability is confirmed after an enquiry
• A signed contract and 50% non-refundable deposit secure the items
• Increases remain subject to available inventory
• Longer rental periods require a separate quote

Service area and who it may suit

The official About page says Table Tales serves Toronto, the GTA and beyond and describes the collection as available Canada-wide. Other catalogue pages specifically mention Toronto, Vaughan and the surrounding GTA. Because delivery charges and minimums can vary with location and order size, couples outside Toronto should confirm the precise transport or shipping arrangement before relying on the broader service-area statement.

The collection may suit couples who want to replace or supplement venue-standard tableware with coordinated chargers, dinnerware, glassware, flatware or linens. It may also be relevant when a caterer or venue does not supply the preferred place-setting style. Couples seeking comprehensive furniture, floral design or guaranteed installation should first establish exactly which services Table Tales will provide.

• Toronto and GTA weddings
• Events requiring coordinated specialty tabletop pieces
• Couples who want to view samples at an appointment-only showroom
• Canada-wide enquiries, subject to confirmed logistics and costs

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented strengths include a broad range of tabletop categories, visible product-level pricing and an in-person showroom. The website also supplies detailed order, payment, cleaning and damage policies. Table Tales states that it performs cleaning and sanitizing after return, although clients must remove excess food or liquid, keep napkins dry and repack everything in its original packaging.

The practical limitations are equally important. Showroom visits require appointments, delivery and pickup carry an additional charge, and setup is not ordinarily included. Inventory remains subject to availability, and the client signing the contract remains responsible for broken, missing or damaged items, including damage caused by venue or staffing personnel.

• Product prices and categories can be reviewed before enquiring
• Mock settings and showroom visits are available
• Setup must be requested and may involve an added fee
• The final order depends on stock, location and contract terms

Pricing

Table Tales publishes current prices for individual catalogue items rather than a fixed wedding package. At the review date, examples included charger plates commonly listed around $5–$7 each, selected glassware around $2.50–$3.25, flatware pieces from approximately $1.25 and table linens commonly listed between $42 and $60. These are catalogue examples, not a complete wedding estimate, and should be reconfirmed for the selected products and date.

The published minimum rental order is $300 before tax for warehouse pickup. When Table Tales handles delivery and pickup, the stated minimum is $400 before tax and delivery; the company notes that this threshold can change based on location. Delivery pricing is not a flat published amount because it is calculated from the venue location and order size. Credit-card payments may also incur processing fees.

• 50% non-refundable deposit required to reserve
• Final payment due no later than 14 days before the event
• Delivery and pickup charged separately
• Replacement fees apply to damaged, missing or broken inventory

What couples should confirm

Before signing, confirm that every selected item is available in the required quantity and that the quote identifies taxes, delivery, pickup, setup, processing charges and potential replacement fees separately. Ask the venue or caterer who will unpack, place, clear, rinse and repack each item, since Table Tales does not typically perform tableware setup.

Couples should also verify delivery windows, loading access, after-hours collection, packaging storage and the person responsible for counting returns. Review the quantity-reduction deadlines and obtain written confirmation for any longer rental period, distant delivery or installation request.

• Exact quantities and product condition expectations
• Venue access and delivery or collection times
• Who handles setup, clearing and repacking
• Cancellation, reduction and damage provisions in the contract
