Dinnerware rental in Duluth and Superior: china, flatware and glassware for every course, through to the champagne tower.
Two ways to start: browse below and add what you like to your wishlist, or tell us your guest count and we will put the settings together. Questions? Call (218) 724-4646.
Dishware
We offer a variety of china options. White goes with every color scheme and makes the food the centerpiece; ivory is warmer and suits a vintage or candlelit table. Both come as dinner plates, salad plates and saucers, with luncheon plates and bowls to round out the menu.
Flatware
Forks, knives and spoons for each course you are serving: dinner and salad forks, dinner, butter and steak knives, teaspoons and spoons, plus serving pieces for a buffet or family-style tables.
Glassware
Whatever your drink of choice, we have the glass for it. Encore provides champagne glasses perfect for towers or individual toasts, along with martini glasses, wine glasses and pint glasses, and water glasses in two sizes for the table.
Cake stands, trays and serving pieces
Cake and cupcake stands, serving and waiter trays, a gold cake cutter set, and bus tubs to clear the tables when the meal is done.
Toast to your special day
Paper plates are fine for a picnic. A wedding dinner, an anniversary or a company banquet deserves a real plate, a fork with some weight to it and a glass that rings when you tap it. Renting them means you get the look of a set table without buying, storing or matching 150 of anything.
Planning your place settings
A place setting is built from the menu. Walk through the meal and list what each guest touches.
- Plates: one per course. A salad, a dinner and a dessert are three plates per guest.
- Flatware: a fork for each plated course, a knife, and a spoon if there is soup, coffee or dessert that needs one.
- Glasses: a water glass at every seat, plus one for each drink you are pouring at the table: wine, a champagne toast, a pint at the bar.
- Coffee: cups and saucers if you are serving it at the tables.
Then tell us the guest count. We would rather check your numbers with you now than have you short a table of forks on the day.
What goes with it
A set table is more than the dishes. Chargers in silver, gold, silver beaded or black go under the plate; linens, napkins and runners go under everything; and chafing dishes and beverage containers keep the buffet hot and the coffee ready.
