A note from Stuart
Trumbull Tables began during one of the hardest chapters of my life, after losing both of my parents to cancer. In the midst of deep grief, I found comfort in setting the table, creating a space for friends and family to linger, chat, and reminisce just a little longer.
Along the way, I uncovered my parents’ wedding china, my grandmother’s silverware, and my great-grandmother’s champagne coupes. Bringing these family heirlooms back to life on the table became a way of keeping my family close, and sharing them with others brought a quiet kind of happiness. What began as a small ritual grew into a creative outlet, a source of healing, and a tribute to the kind of connection my loved ones always made space for.
Growing up, our family gatherings centered around the table, especially the old picnic table on Trumbull Road my dad affectionately called the “best restaurant in Leelanau County.” That spirit, and the feeling we shared around that Trumbull Table, is what I hope to share with you all.
I believe all the best stories start around the table. Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to see what we gather around.

Trumbull Tables is more than an event design and rental business…it's a tribute to the art of gathering
Trumbull Tables is built around a simple belief: all the best stories start around the table.
We believe in setting a table that has a story to tell, making room for old traditions and new memories alike. Whether it is a lakeside picnic, a bridal shower, or a dinner party at home, our hope is to make every gathering feel a little more special, a little more intentional, and entirely your own.
Because at the end of the day, it is not just about what is on the table. It is about who gathers around it.
Every table begins with the details. Vintage silver, well-loved linens, glassware found at estate sales, family heirlooms, and flowers from local growers each bring their own special touch to a gathering.
Trumbull Tables brings together pieces that feel as though they have a story to tell, mixing old and new in ways that feel layered, personal, and a little unexpected. The result is a table beautiful enough to make an occasion feel special, but comfortable enough to be enjoyed.
Because a beautiful table is only the beginning. The real magic happens when everyone sits down.
