Questions
Ghost chair rental FAQs
How much does it cost to rent a Ghost chair in Chicago?
$27.78 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 Ghost chairs do I need for 100 guests?
About 100, which comes to $2,778. Add 5-10% spares for anything guests handle, such as plates, glasses and napkins.
Can you deliver a Ghost 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.
