Questions

Marquee letter rental FAQs

How much does it cost to rent a Marquee letter in Chicago?

$60.50 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 Marquee letter 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.

Is it cheaper to rent or buy wedding decor?

Rent anything large or that you will not use again: arches, flower walls, marquee letters. Buying usually makes sense only for small items you will keep.

Do decor rentals include setup?

Large pieces such as flower walls and marquee letters usually include delivery and setup. Small items are typically pick-up or delivered for you to place.
