How much does chair rental cost in Chicago?

Roughly $2.50 to $4 for a folding chair, $7 to $10 for Chiavari or cross-back, and $12 to $32 for specialty chairs like velvet, Louis or ghost. Delivery and setup are added per order. See live prices in the chairs catalog.

Which chair style suits my venue?

Barns and vineyards suit wood cross-back or Windsor; lofts and galleries suit ghost, shell or wishbone; ballrooms suit velvet, Louis or gold Chiavari. Our free 15-minute call can match a chair to your exact venue.

Can I mix chair styles at one event?

Yes. A popular plan is folding or garden chairs for the ceremony, a statement chair for the reception and something special for the head or sweetheart table.
