I enjoyed all of my wedding vendors, but Frances Lane might be one of the most amazing human beings I've ever met in general.
She was not only super fun to talk to and visit her shop, but she was also so incredibly kind in the way that she conducted business, negotiations, and communications.
Without her items, my wedding would have had a significantly different, and less complete feeling.
If you need unique table settings, fun cups, serving items, etc -- you've GOT to consider her as one of your top choices.
Honestly - there is no better person to work with than Cherry. She has/ will get any and everything you want for your event. From the moment I connected with Cherry I felt as if I had known her forever. I came to her studio and we talked for a long time and went through every option. She is patient, kind, creative and just lovely. The tables at my wedding are were exactly what I had envisioned. Thank you, Cherry- for everything.
The absolute best!! Frances Lane is a treasure trove of the most gorgeous tableware, glassware and entertainment rentals you've ever seen. My dinner party totally wowed and looked like something off Insta or Pinterest! Frances Lane set me up with everything for my small Bridgerton-themed dinner party including beautiful gilded plates, vintage French pink champagne glasses, antique, gold cutlery, candelabras, ornate silver trays... The list goes on. This is stuff that the other rental companies didn't even begin to carry at this level. The owner truly loves what she does and gave me a ton of personal attention even though my party was tiny (7ppl) and she was prepping to provide the rentals for a huge tea party of over a hundred (!!) The price was beyond reasonable for what I got and the wow factor. Would definitely use them to impress at a bridal shower, baby shower, dinner party, wedding etc. They had tons of styles, from fancy vintage to sleek modern. Can't speak highly enough about this vendor. Thanks again for your help!
For my wedding I wanted an eclectic country look with mixed china patterns, and Cherry understood immediately what I wanted. She listened to exactly what I liked and created 75 mixed table settings for my wedding tables. She set all the tables herself and it was just perfect.Then she collected it all at the end so I didn't have to worry about anything. Her fine china, glassware and cutlery is all beautiful. I thoroughly recommend her.
As a wedding planner, Cherry was exactly the kind of vendor I love to work with. Her vintage indigo plates absolutely pulled together the vision my bride had in mind and her great attitude and professionalism was the cherry on top (pun not intended). We are looking forward to the next time we can work with Cherry again!
What can I say? Cherry is the absolute best. Best in class. Her collection of vintage plates, glassware, serveware were outstanding and so well curated. Cherry was always timely with answering emails and phone calls and made the trip out to Los Altos herself to drop off and pick up before and after my wedding. She made my wedding dreams a reality and it all started with 1 plate. Cherry has a special place in my heart!
I needed centerpieces for a large political event last November, and Cherry designed and provided all the elements of the eye-catching table-toppers that we used. All of which included, lanterns, LED candles, bronze colored chargers, and votive candles and holders She even gave me the number of a commercial florist, who gave me a great price for the roses, baby’s breath, and greens. The large, sterile, hotel banquet room became a warm and cozy place because of Cherry and her company, Frances Lane. I recommend her for any event you want to be special.
We wanted to find some really cute and affordable glassware for our wedding and we were so pleased to find Frances Lane!
The owner met with us in person on our schedule so we could come see the glassware in person, and choose the styles and colors that would fit our wedding best. She was so accommodating and worked with our budget and vision! The glassware was such a hit at our reception, and our guests had fun taking photos with their garden party wine goblets. The photographs turned out beautifully!
If you're looking for something that will give your event a pop, you must check out Frances Lane! You'll be sure to find unique, whimsical, and fun pieces for your celebration. It's an experience when visiting Frances Lane Studio!
My husband and I met with Cherry in 2019 when we began our wedding planning and had initially wanted to rent teapots for an Alice in Wonderland theme. We were definitely in for a treat! Cherry was welcoming, kind, funny, and absolutely lovely. She listened to our ideas and provided great suggestions, while also pulling out different teapots she had in her collections (which was a lot!).
Due to the pandemic, we needed to postpone our wedding and Cherry was there to support us through it all. She definitely went above and beyond! As we were sorting out what to do, she was patient, flexible, and understanding throughout the process. Once we had it all figured out, we began to brainstorm and plan out our design for our table setting. What started as a teapot rental turned into something much more magical! This was definitely the fun part and we had a blast! Cherry was open to our ideas, never turned any of them down, nor did she constrict us in any way. We appreciated that she included us in the design process and we were able to play around with various ideas. The end product was nothing that we could have imagined when we first met with her!
It was amazing to work with Cherry and she always made time for us. She never rushed us or cut our time short, and that made us feel valued and important. We definitely plan to come back for our future events!
