Our Inventory
The Cookery includes seating, 8 ft. rectangular tables, and barware for up to 200 guests in your rental package. Clients may choose to utilize these items, or they may choose to rent different tables, chairs or glassware according to their particular tastes. Clients hosting parties with more than 200 guests will need to rent additional items.
Hosts are required to provide cloth linens according to the size specifications for the tables below. These measurements ensure that all tables are fully covered and that linens reach the floor! Don't forget linen napkin rentals!
Please review the below list before booking your event needs to help save money on rentals passed on from your caterer or other vendors!

A/V Equipment
Below is a breakdown of the A/V for each room of The Cookery.
Front Room: We have a wireless microphone and 15’ diagonal HD projector screen available for your use. For events with up to 75 people there are in-house speakers with AUX cord for background/cocktail hour music only. Note: These speakers are meant for presentations, not for loud tunes or dancing.
Courtyard: Two speakers are mounted in the courtyard that are part of the Front Room sound system. Note: These do not connect to the Ballroom Sonos.
Ballroom: Sono Speakers are hidden in the four corners of the room and are great for dinner background music. You will simply need to download the Sonos App (on your phone or tablet) and be on The Cookery’s wifi in order to access our Sonos System.
Garden: There are no outlets or any provided sound system. We highly recommend APR for a rental system, or speak with your DJ or band on providing a small set-up. The nearest outlet is just inside the dressing suite (simply run a cord under the garage door) to play music during your ceremony. Note: you may need an extension cord!
Other Suggested Items to Rent
If you are having more than 200 guests at your event, you may need to rent additional tables and chairs. No problem! American Party Rentals is familiar with The Cookery's inventory and needs, and will be able to deliver matching rentals to The Cookery. There may be other rentals you may want to consider - here are a few suggestions:
Dance floor & stage
Our polished concrete floor is not ideal for dancing, so if you are planning on having dancing at your event, a dance floor will need to be rented.
Fortunately American Party Rentals has dance floors that fit beautifully in our space! Dance floors are available for rent in 3’ x 3’ and 4' x 4' squares so the size can easily be altered depending on your dancing needs.
A stage can also be rented if you are planning to have live music. Stages for your band are optional.
Linens and tableware
When in comes to linen and tableware selections, there are countless choices!
While you are more than welcome to rent linens and tableware from any other trusted linen rental company, delivery is easy when you work with American Party Rentals, with their special access to our space. Located in Durham, APR offers countless color, style, and texture options! (Plus is always easiest to get everything from one place!).
Mezzanine
Our mezzanine is a perfect place for a variety of unique settings, your guest count permitting. You can use the mezzanine as:
a place to have your wedding ceremony
a cocktail lounge with furniture and cocktail tables
a "game room" with cards, checkers and other games
or put a photo booth upstairs, with props and other items for guests to use in their pictures!

and much more!
Feel free to contact American Party Rentals to discuss the wide range of options to perfectly complement your event!
When considering outdoor dining and tenting options, please remember:
American Party Rentals does request at least a 14 day notice of tent rental. If your tent request is within 14 days from your Event Date, American Party Rentals can check availability. American Party Rentals will coordinate the installation and removal of your tent directly with The Cookery team.
A forecast of bad weather does not have to leave your guests in the elements! American Party Rentals has a 30’ Toptec Marquee tent that provides a covered path for your guests as they pass from the Front Room to the Ballroom. Sidewalls are also available!
For the kiddos
We do not have any high chairs or toddlers' chairs in our inventory - high chairs and non-folding chairs will need to be rented if you have small children attending your party.
