dget and vision. I planned out of state in the middle of COVID. Lisa went above and beyond my expectations in the middle of a pandemic to make sure that I had all the knowledge I needed to make the best choice regarding pieces I would need. She sweetly still allowed me to visit her show room in her home, which helped so much in deciding what to pick! We had a blast "playing" with the china, rearranging it and such. I even learned several things in the process. I love that Lisa enjoys what she does and just how kind she is. The plates we used for our reception were absolutely perfect and were commented on all night long. The pickup and drop off process was simple and quick, and everything was wrapped so snug for transport. If you are looking to rent china in the Nashville area, you've definitely found your vendor!
