Planning tips

Getting chairs right

  1. 1

    Count guests

    One chair per seated guest, plus 3-5% spares for vendors and late RSVPs.

  2. 2

    Split ceremony and reception

    If the ceremony and reception are in different spaces with no flip time, you need two sets.

  3. 3

    Match the table

    A 60" round seats 8 Chiavari chairs or 10 folding chairs. A 72" round seats 10-12.

  4. 4

    Add cushions

    Chiavari and cross-back chairs usually include or rent a seat pad; confirm the color.

Questions

Black padded folding chair rental FAQs

How much does it cost to rent a Black padded folding chair in Chicago?

$9.46 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.

How many Black padded folding chairs do I need for 100 guests?

About 100, which comes to $946. Add 5-10% spares for anything guests handle, such as plates, glasses and napkins.

Can you deliver a Black padded folding chair 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.

How much does it cost to rent chairs in Chicago?

Basic white folding chairs rent for roughly $3-4 each, padded folding chairs about $4, and Chiavari, cross-back or ghost chairs about $10-16 each. Delivery, setup and pickup are usually quoted separately and depend on distance, stairs and timing.

How many chairs fit at a 60-inch round table?

Eight chairs fit comfortably and ten fit snugly. Chiavari chairs are narrow, so ten Chiavari chairs at a 60" round still leave elbow room; for wider chairs like cross-back, plan eight.
