About Second Course Table

Second Course Table

Founder: Director of Operations

Brought together by a shared love of design, hospitality, and sustainability, we founded Second Course Table to bring that vision to life. We believe it's an act of art to sit around the table with your closest crew, sharing a meal and memories of a lifetime... Commemorate your next act of art with one of ours.

We revitalize forgotten gems in custom arrangements, adding a modern touch while preserving their inherent charm. Sustainability is a central tenant, as our focus is on giving these pieces a second life, many of them from the 60's-90's originating from Japan, Germany & the United States. Each piece is hand-selected for its exceptional character—both as an individual treasure and as an embellishment to the whole.

In three words: Creative, Innovative, Organized

    Above and beyond!

    The Bouquet collection was spectacular, surprisingly many of our guests stopped to tour around the tables and compared their plates with one another. Such a lovely and creative addition to our wedding celebration!

    Granddaughter's Bridal Shower

    “I absolutely adored the way Bianca looked at my granddaughter’s Bridal shower! It was a unique point of conversation at every table and made my planning easy. If you’re looking for a fun way to elevate a party, this it it!”


Our designers passionately secure vintage pieces that would otherwise be discarded, mix and match surprising, yet intuitive place settings, then curate them into aesthetically pleasing, thematic collections. These intricate collections are available to rent for your once in lifetime celebration (without the hassle that comes with taking care of delicate china). We care deeply for creating unforgettable events through the power of hospitality and will do whatever we can to ensure we make your event just as uniquely memorable.
We are based in San Rafael, CA and serve the San Francisco Bay Area, Napa Valley, and Sonoma County, but are flexible to surrounding areas. The first 15 miles are included in the delivery and pickup fee. After the first 15 miles, only an additional fee per mile is incurred. There is no additional hourly fee calculated.
Reach out through our contact form or give us a call to schedule your initial consultation. We will send you a proposal and once all the details are worked out and agreed upon, a 50% nonrefundable deposit will be required to reserve your chosen collections for your event. The balance is due 10 days prior to your event date. We will deliver, pick up, and clean your rental. We ask that you rinse off all tableware prior to pickup.
The best way to view our collections is through our website. Once you decide on which interests you most, please reach out to us to see if it’s available for your event. We do not have a showroom at this time, but we will soon! For now, we will do our best to accommodate any questions you may have.
Our collections are curated ready, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your event. If you would like to see something specific or have a special request, please let us know in your consultation, and we will do our best to accommodate!
We are always adding to our collections. At this time we have between 50 and 150 place settings of each collection, but given enough notice we are able to increase our counts substantially for your event.
Each piece is arduously vetted for chips, crazing, and imperfections. Though we cannot guarantee “brand new” condition as some signs of wear may be present due to the archival nature of our tableware, we can guarantee these pieces will look picture perfect on your special day.
Yes there is a $1,000 rental minimum, which we have found is not hard to reach, especially since it includes delivery & fees. Depending on our schedule and availability, we may be open to waiving our minimum, so please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to work with you!
