What usually goes wrong

Common seating problems and fixes

The problem

Office furniture isn't right for a party, and there aren't enough seats.

How we help

We'll bring in a matching chair style, from simple stackable seating to something nicer for a sit-down dinner, sized to your headcount.

The problem

Strict building rules in December's busy delivery season.

How we help

We'll ask for your property manager's freight and dock windows early and build delivery around them.

The problem

Mixing a cocktail hour with a seated program or awards.

How we help

We'll help you plan lounge-style seating for mingling plus rows or rounds for the program, and handle the changeover.

The problem

Approval takes time, and the date is getting closer.

How we help

Your quote itemizes chairs, delivery and setup, so it's easy to send up the chain quickly.

Our picks

Chairs we'd choose for holiday office parties

Planning notes

December fills fast for Chicago offices. A holiday party might mean clearing out a Loop conference floor for a cocktail hour, renting out the back room of a restaurant, or booking a hotel ballroom for a sit-down dinner with awards and a DJ.

More on holiday office parties

Office buildings add their own rules on top of the party itself. Freight elevator reservations, loading dock windows and sometimes a vendor certificate of insurance are routine downtown, and they matter more in December when every building in the block seems to be hosting something the same week.

Finance usually wants paperwork, not surprises. We'll give you an itemized quote with chairs, delivery and setup listed separately, so it's easy to get approved before the date closes in.

Questions

Holiday Office Parties seating questions

When should I book chairs for a December office party in Chicago?

As early as you can. December weekends and even weeknights fill up fast across the city and suburbs. Booking a month or more ahead gives you the best choice of styles.

Can you deliver to an office building in the Loop or River North?

Yes. Most downtown buildings need a freight elevator reservation and a set loading dock time. Share your property manager's rules and we'll plan delivery around them.

Do you provide a certificate of insurance for building management?

Not yet. We don't issue certificates of insurance today, though we plan to as we grow. If your building requires one from outside vendors, check before you book and tell us on your planning call.

Can we get an itemized quote for finance approval?

Yes. Every quote lists chairs, delivery and setup as separate lines, so it's easy to send through an approval process.

What chairs work best for a company holiday party?

It depends on the format. Stackable shell or infinity chairs suit a mixer or cocktail hour, while velvet or Louis medallion chairs dress up a seated dinner.

Can you handle a quick room flip between a program and dinner?

Often, yes. Tell us your run of show and we'll plan stackable seating and timing that make a changeover realistic.
