Questions

Highboy cocktail table rental FAQs

How much does it cost to rent a Highboy cocktail table in Chicago?

$15.95 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 Highboy cocktail tables do I need for 100 guests?

About 10, which comes to $159.50. Add 5-10% spares for anything guests handle, such as plates, glasses and napkins.

Can you deliver a Highboy cocktail table 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 many people sit at an 8-foot banquet table?

Eight to ten: four on each long side and one on each end if you do not need the ends clear. For buffet use, an 8' table holds about 6-8 chafing dishes.
