The problem
Extended family for latke night outgrows the usual table.
How we help
We'll add a second table or extend yours, with matching chairs so the room looks complete, not pieced together.

More on hanukkah parties
The lighting itself needs a clear, visible spot, usually near a window, with seating arranged so everyone can see without crowding the table or the candles. The meal that follows often calls for more seats than a typical weeknight dinner.
Because Hanukkah falls in the busy run-up to the end of the year, we plan deliveries with extra time for winter weather and the season's full calendar, so your chairs and tables arrive with room to spare before guests do.

Questions
Hanukkah Parties seating questions
Can I rent chairs and tables for a Hanukkah party at home?
Yes. We deliver to homes across Chicago and the suburbs. Let us know about stairs or tight entries when you book so we can plan the drop-off.
How many chairs do I need for a Hanukkah dinner of 16?
Plan one chair per guest, plus a couple of extras for family who drop by. An 8-foot table seats 8 along the sides, so two tables usually covers 16.
Can you deliver chairs for a synagogue or JCC Hanukkah event?
Yes, we deliver across Chicago and the suburbs, including the North Shore. Check with the synagogue or center on their outside rental policy first.
Will seating block the view of the menorah lighting?
We'll plan chair placement to keep clear sightlines to the lighting, usually near a window, so everyone can see without crowding the table.
Do you deliver chairs in snow and winter weather?
Yes, we plan winter deliveries with extra time. Clear paths and available parking help us get chairs in safely and on time.
How far ahead should I book for Hanukkah?
Reach out once your date is set. Late November and December fill up fast across the Chicago area, so earlier booking gives you the best choice.
