looking to rent picnic benches!

erdeneve

We're planning an outdoor  wedding in Jefferson (up in the mountians) and I'm looking for a source to rent picnic tables and benches. I don't really like the typical banquet tables and chiavari chairs and have had a really hard time finding anything more "rustic" looking.
Has anybody found something similar to what I am looking for? We'll be up near Boone, but can rent from Charlotte or Raleigh as well if needed.

Thanks!

Great idea to consider more rustic types of arrangements!  Off of the top of my head, I cannot think of any rental companies that would do this.

Most rental companies have to use some form of folding chairs due to space issues during transport...
Happy hunting,

I believe Classic Party Rentals or CE Rentals (can't remember which) have benches, but they're small, white, and expensive. I was thinking of benches too but went with wood chairs due to the cost.

Buying them might be an option- I wonder if the Raleigh flea market would have what you're looking for? You could always re-sell them after the wedding.

PS, Kasey, boards are for brides only.

How many would you need?

I know this sounds like it could be a big thing to take on, but it might be cheaper to buy or DIY these.  They're probably pretty easy to make too.  Then maybe you could sell them to someone afterwards.

Thanks you all! My dad is super-handy so he might have a winter project....
I was hoping for  a way to rent them, but making them may be the only option.
