Questions
Serving Platter 13 Oval (Platinum) rental FAQs
How much does it cost to rent a Serving Platter 13 Oval (Platinum) in Chicago?
$5.12 each for one event day. Delivery and pickup (usually $150-$400 per order), setup, a damage waiver (about 10%) and sales tax are added for your venue, so a delivered order typically costs 35-60% more than the rental rates alone. Multi-day rentals are quoted on request.
Can you deliver a Serving Platter 13 Oval (Platinum) to my venue?
Yes. We arrange delivery, setup and pickup anywhere in Chicago & suburbs, including Evanston, Oak Park, Oak Brook, Schaumburg, Naperville and nearby towns. Tell us about stairs, elevators or load-in windows and we include them in the quote.
How far ahead should I reserve?
For May to October weekends, reserve 2-4 months ahead; tents, specialty chairs and dance floors go first. For other dates, 2-4 weeks is usually enough. Your quote holds nothing until you approve it.

Usually not. Chafing fuel cans cost about $2-4 each and last 2-6 hours depending on type. We add them to your quote if you need them.
How many chafing dishes do I need for 100 guests?
Typically 5-7: one per hot entree and side. Cold items can sit on platters and trays instead.
