Garden Chair Rental?

calindi

I'm looking at pictures of ceremonies at my venue, and the white resin garden chairs look SOOOOO much nicer than the standard white folding chairs.  So I'm debating...

Are you renting garden chairs?  How much and from whom?

If I can get them under $3/chair for 150 chairs, I'll do it.  My rental company is currently quoting $3.50/chair, which is just too much for me, especially as we're renting Chiavari chairs to be used during dinner (but they insist we can't use them for the ceremony also).

sunshinetentrentals.com   They have pretty cheap prices.  I rented the fan back chairs a couple years ago for a grad party which were $2 a chair.  Not sure how much the Garden chairs are, but its worth a try.

I have looked at a few places and can't seem to find white garden chairs for much less than $3.50. I only need 100, so perhaps you can get a better deal renting 150. I have been lazy and only check sites that have their pricing posted. I bet if you call around to a few more, you may be able to find a better deal. Good luck!

I just contacted Sunshine Tent Rentals - they quoted me $1012 to set up, rent and remove 150 white garden chairs at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills. Comes out to be about $6.75 a chair!!

Depends on the type of chair!  Connecticut Rental charges $3.50/chair for the white wooden fold-out chairs with padded seats.  For Chiavari chairs, it's around $8/chair - I'd have to look at my contract.

I swear I asked you about this 6 months ago.  Anyways...Chiavari chairs on the lawn, just only use 60..everyone else can stand.  I think that is what we are doing. OR..decorate the back row of chairs with ribbon streamers ...once everyone is sitting you cant even tell.
