What moves the price

Chairs cost drivers

  1. 01

    Style

    Folding chairs are the cheapest; Chiavari, cross-back and ghost chairs cost three to four times more; thrones and velvet chairs more again.

  2. 02

    Quantity

    Price is per chair, so the guest count drives the total. Ceremony and reception sets double it unless one set is flipped.

  3. 03

    Labor

    Setup, a ceremony flip and stairs are quoted separately and can add a meaningful share to the bill.

Do rental prices include delivery and setup?

How can I save on chairs rentals?

Use a premium chair only at the head table. Flip ceremony chairs instead of renting two sets. Choose a weekday or winter date. Combining categories on one order also saves, because one delivery covers everything.
