The Hot Seat: Seattle Farm Tables

For those of you planning a rustic, outdoor affair, you may be asking yourself how you are going to elegantly seat all of your guests for merrymaking at your outdoor or perhaps barn wedding celebration.  

A local couple asked themselves the same question, to which the bride’s father, a woodworker by trade, answered by building wooden farm tables for 170 people (no easy chore). The full-family effort, with help from neighbors, paid off as compliments and requests poured in after the wedding and a new business venture, Seattle Farm Tables was born. Each hand-made, unique, rustic table and bench is made from local, sustainably harvested cedar, milled at a small, family run mill.  

Designed for easy transportation and storage, all legs and supports are removable on the fourteen-seat cedar tables that are available for weddings and events in the Seattle area. Seattle Farm Tables has been so successful, they have expanded to renting mismatched dishes as well, including colorful plates, glasses, napkins and silverware. Couples can pay to have the tables (starting at $100/table) and benches delivered (starting at $400), as well as set up and taken down, or may choose to transport and assemble themselves.  

So, save yourself the building extravaganza and contact Seattle Farm Tables, or save yourself the transportation fee and host your celebration at their new event venue, The Woodshop.
