FAQs about Table Runner Hire

Q: What makes renting table runners better than buying for events?

A: Renting table runners is a smart and affordable option for events where style and presentation matter. Rather than purchasing decorative linen you'll only use once, you can rent clean, pressed runners that arrive event-ready and tailored to your colour scheme. It’s a cost-effective way to achieve an elegant look, especially for weddings, corporate functions and formal dining without the hassle of storage or upkeep.

Q: Can I hire table runners that match my colour scheme?

A: Absolutely — most event linen providers offer table runners for hire in a wide variety of colours and finishes. Whether you need soft pastels for a wedding reception, rich tones for a gala dinner, or rustic hessian for a barn celebration, renting table runners makes it easy to coordinate with your chosen décor. From satin to organza, you can match or contrast with tablecloths, centrepieces and other visual elements.

Q: How do table runners enhance table settings?

A: Table runners add a layer of visual interest by breaking up plain linen and helping to define individual place settings. Whether you're using round tables or long trestle-style layouts, a runner introduces colour, texture and depth. Hiring table runners allows you to achieve this look with minimal effort, bringing sophistication to everything from canapé tables to seated banquet layouts.

Q: Where can I rent table runners for a wedding or formal dinner?

A: Many nationwide event hire companies provide affordable table runner rentals for weddings and special occasions. These services typically offer a broad selection of colours and fabrics — perfect for dressing guest tables, cake stands or top tables. Renting runners for your wedding ensures you receive high-quality items that have been pressed and prepped for immediate use.

Q: Do I need tablecloths underneath my hired table runners?

A: While table runners can be used on their own for a minimalist or rustic look, they’re most often layered over tablecloths for a complete, coordinated finish. If you’re hiring runners, it’s common to also rent tablecloths, napkins or chair sashes to tie your overall theme together. Event hire specialists can often advise on ideal pairings to suit your layout and venue style.
