How it works
When reservations open, we’ll help you bring the table together in three simple steps.
Tell us what you’re planning
Tell us a little about the occasion and what you’d like to serve.
We choose the tableware
We’ll check availability and suggest a mix that suits your menu, colors, and style.
We deliver. You gather.
We’ll bring the tableware, collect it afterward, and handle the washing. One required fee covers all three; see the distance rates below.
Special requests
Looking for something specific? Ask us. We’ll let you know what’s possible.
A thoughtful table leaves room for your own touches.
A few ideas for your table
Candlelit dinners, easy brunches, afternoons in the garden. Use these images as inspiration for the colors and combinations you enjoy. They show a sense of style, rather than a fixed package of rental items.

A little history. A place at your table.
Plate + Stem brings well-loved tableware back into everyday use. We choose it for its character and the way it works together, from patterned plates to glasses worth raising.
You don’t need a grand occasion to set a thoughtful table. A birthday, a backyard dinner, or friends staying for one more cup of coffee is reason enough.
