Charger plate hire from The Wedding House starts at £3 a plate, including VAT, with no minimum order. We hire nine glass charger plate styles and three rustic placemats from our base in Droitwich Spa. Choose a gold, silver, black or clear finish to match your napkins, centrepieces and chair decor. We deliver, collect and wash every plate, so there is nothing for you to clean.
A charger plate is a larger decorative plate that sits under each guest’s dinner plate. It frames the place setting and ties every table to your colour scheme.
Charger plates are for display. Food is not served directly on them, so your caterer places the plate or bowl on top. Placemats do the same job with a softer, natural finish.
All our charger plates are glass, with gold, silver, black or clear detailing on the rim. Our rustic placemats are woven from water hyacinth, rope and rattan.
Every charger plate style is the same price, and so is every placemat. Prices include VAT, and there is no minimum order.
| Item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Glass charger plate | £3 per plate | Any of our nine styles |
| Rustic placemat | £2 per placemat | Water hyacinth, rope woven or rattan |
| Added to a venue package | Varies by venue | £2.50 each as a Mill Barns add-on |
Delivery is free within 20 miles of Droitwich Spa. Beyond that, we price travel for each booking. If you are hiring charger plates on their own, ask us about delivery. You can also collect them from us and return them, with no delivery charge.
Gold Dandelion is our most booked style. Ribbed clear glass runs out to a wavy gold edge. Thin Gold Edge is clear glass with a fine gold rim. Black Rim is clear glass with a thin black edge, a favourite for black and white weddings.
Gold Beaded has a ring of gold beads around the rim. Gold Reef Rim has fine textured gold lines across the rim. Gold Sunflower has a deep, textured gold rim with a scalloped edge like sunflower petals.
Silver Beaded is our silver charger plate, with silver beads around a clear rim. Clear Beaded is all-clear glass with a beaded rim, so it works with any colour. Vintage Clear is pressed glass with an intricate lace pattern, sometimes called our clear lace charger.
Our three rustic placemats are Water Hyacinth, Rope Woven and Rattan. They suit barn weddings, wildflower schemes and long wooden tables.
Several of our venue decor packages already include charger plates or placemats. You can choose any of our styles, and any of the three placemats counts as a rustic placemat.
