Quick answers

How much does it cost to rent chairs in Chicago?

Basic folding chairs rent for about $2-4 each, Chiavari and cross-back chairs for about $7-11, and ghost or upholstered chairs for about $10-30 per event day. Delivery, setup and pickup are quoted separately for your venue.

Is delivery included in the chair price?

No. The per-chair price covers one event day. Delivery, setup, pickup, any stairs or long carries, a damage waiver and sales tax are itemized in your proposal before you approve anything.

How can I lower my chair rental cost?

Use premium chairs only where guests see them most (ceremony aisle, head table) and simpler chairs elsewhere, book early for May-October weekends, and bundle chairs with tables and linens in one quote so delivery is shared.
