First comes love, then comes vintage

Make your wedding or special event one for the history books with our one-of-a-kind vintage rentals 

Two words: aesthetics matter. 

If you’re looking to create an ambiance to rival your dreamiest Pinterest board, vintage is your friend. 

Our pieces have aged gracefully from the 1800s to the 1970s — each a unique storyteller and certified vibe-setter in its own right. From rugs, settees & wedding arches to mirrors, chairs & all the smaller decor pieces in between, our collection of authentically vintage rentals is here for a good time.

(they’ve already done the long time thing)

Antique is the new black

Choose vintage for:

  • Vintage items exude an undeniably romantic aura. There’s a story to tell, a depth to explore — perfectly setting the scene for a loved-up wedding where you not only want to see but feel your story unfolding.

  • Cliche? No way. Modern retro decor is all about high impact details —craftsmanship, color, quality — that give your space a refined ambiance to draw people in.

  • It’s cool to be kind (to Mother Earth). Giving new life to pre-loved items is an environmentally conscious choice. And it just so happens that the circular economy has never looked better.

  • Vintage pieces make stunning backdrops! Whether perching on a plush chaise lounge, saying ‘I do’ under a hand-built wooden arch, or sipping champagne from a pink depression glass coupe — you’re in for memorable, Instagram-worthy snaps to cherish forever.

  • Whatever the theme of your event, there’s an item (or 100) to complement it. Whether you hire a few smaller items or deck your entire event out in vintage — our large inventory offers endless opportunities for you to mix & match with your own favorite styling items for a beautiful, cost-effective aesthetic.

Want us to style your event too?

Renting furniture is one thing — styling it & creating an entire floor plan that wows your guests is a different beast altogether.

If you’d rather stick to the fun things (e.g. ordering copious amounts of champagne), you can add our styling service to your rentals. Together with your wedding planner/event coordinator, we’ll come up with a vision for your space — then help you bring it to life.

A premium option for classic & non traditional weddings, birthday parties, corporate functions, or any soirée that calls for a unique vibe.

Picture this: 

You’re hanging out with your bestie over a couple of mimosas. The ideas are flowing. You’re making grand plans. The excitement is palpable. You’re so in sync, you’re basically finishing each other’s sentences. 

This is kinda what it’s like to work with Annata…or so we’ve been told. 

Here’s what you can expect from the process

  • Create your wishlist

    Wander through our inventory, select the ladies + gents you love, and submit your wishlist. If you prefer to pop into our warehouse to view the lineup in person you’re more than welcome to — or if you’d like the full planning service (where we not only help you choose your pieces but take over the floor plan & decor styling in full), let us know. Either way, we gotchu ;)

  • Firm up the details

    Within 48 hours of receiving your wishlist, we'll confirm availability and send you a proposal & contract to review. We’ll also talk through the finer details like delivery & pick-up times.

  • Lock it in

    Ready to book? Sign the proposal, pay your 50% deposit & your event is *officially* locked in! We’ll follow up 2 weeks before the big day to collect the remaining balance. Then from here, we’re basically event ninjas — we’ll grab your coordinator’s info (just in case) and start loading up the truck, ready to sneak in & out of your venue.

  • Let’s PARTY

    The moment you’ve been waiting for is here — put your party shoes on, pour yourself a glass of bubbly & have the Best Day Ever! We’ve got everything covered from a logistical perspective — delivering and setting up your vintage beauties to your specifications, making ourselves scarce, then popping back at the end of the event for collection.

  • Whenever you want us to! We’ll confirm all this information upon booking.

  • Yes — we have will-call available for smaller decor items (including chairs), as long as all pieces are transported in an enclosed vehicle and adequately secured. Due to the fragile nature of vintage items, all larger pieces including couches, settees, and wicker must be delivered.

  • Almost anywhere! But please note our delivery fees are based on the size of your event, travelling distance & event timeline.

  • You sure can — we’d love to show you the ladies + gents up close! Appointments are available at our Cedar Rapids-based warehouse on Fridays between 10am-2pm. Get in touch to lock in your preferred date and time.

  • Yes, but it varies based on the time of year. During peak wedding season, there’s a $500 minimum for deliveries and $200 minimum for will-call rentals.

  • We certainly don’t dump everything in a pile & drive off — we carefully set up your rentals to your specification. We’ll work with your coordinator to ensure the drop off process is seamless, and make sure we get the tick of approval to ensure everything is perfect before we leave. If you want help with the full planning/styling side of things, we can manage that for you too! Get in touch to chat.

  • We recommend booking at least 6 months in advance. Because 95% of our inventory is vintage or custom pieces, if you have your heart set on something specific, it pays to book as far in advance as possible to ensure you don’t miss out!

  • It depends on the situation. Fees are typically non-refundable, as we’re not often able to rebook items with short notice. However, if we have ample notice and are able to rebook your chosen items for another event on the same date, we’ll happily refund you.

  • We get it — events are unpredictable. Uncle Bobby might bust a move and spill his beer all over our pretty girl Eleanor. Your bestie might nail her bridesmaid speech… then smash her pink goblet of rosé on the floor. The cha cha slide might get a little cray, sending your co-worker Samantha tumbling onto our darling Audrey & breaking one of her fragile wooden legs in the process. 

    We hate the thought of our babies getting hurt, but we understand ‘life’  happens. If an item gets dirty or broken, we’ll do our best to clean it up and make minor repairs ourselves. 

    If professional cleaning/reupholstery is needed, you’ll be liable to cover these costs.

    If the item is too far gone and it’s time to say goodbye (🥲) , you’ll be required to the cover the cost of replacing the item with a sister piece.

  • Yes — when booking an upholstered piece you’ll get a little cleaning kit with a set of instructions for exactly what to do & the supplies you’ll need to fix minor accidents. When booking tables you’ll also get some cute complimentary coasters to protect the surface from rings & spillage.

  • Event insurance is not required, but we certainly recommend it! If items get damaged, having event insurance ensures that you’re covered (but please note: in the event any damages exceed your insurance, you’ll be responsible for covering these costs).

  • All over the place! Auctions, estate sales, Craigslist, friends of friends. Finding vintage gems in unexpected places makes us way more excited than we care to admit.

  • Our inventory is more than just a warehouse of rentals. It’s a family of special pieces — each hand picked by us with love! These ladies & gents have seen some stuff over the years. They've been around the traps. They’ve earned our respect and so they deserve a name — plus how much more fun is it to talk about “Birdie” than the “baby blue couch”?!

  • Yes — we work closely with many wedding venues in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as well as further afield, which helps  to make our joint event coordination process seamless.

  • We love working with other vendors! Our policies and pricing varies slightly for vendor collaborations.  If you’re a photographer or fellow wedding/event vendor wanting to collaborate, send us an email including the event/shoot details, date, what pieces you’re interested in and any mood boards you may have to contact@annatavintagerentalco.com.
