chairs in the park

We're having our ceremony in a park 5 blocks from the reception site. The reception site has its own chairs so we don't need to rent them for that. BUT we need chairs for the park... so before I call the rental company and sound like a dofus for asking this - how does it work... ?

We only need the chairs for 1.5 hours MAX. If they drop them off in the morning we're going to need someone to sit at the park and wait for the ceremony so they don't get stolen? Then when do the rental people pick them up since we can't leave them in the park? Has anyone done this before?

  • I'd hire a DOC to handle this for you; that's exactly what they're there for.

    Does the park do a lot of weddings?  Maybe you could ask what their policy is for chair drop-off and pick up.

    I would think that you could schedule delivery and set-up for an hour before your ceremony start time, and pick-up for about 30-60 minutes after the end time.   Also, if you're going to have any flowers at the ceremony then your florist might be able to help supervise the set-up as he/she (or an assistante) will likely be at the site setting up at that time anyway.

  • It's a really small park so I dont know how many weddings they do. I know they've done some though  because I've seen photos online.

    I want to avoid hiring a DOC since we don't need one for anything else because our reception is all inclusive. It seems like a lot of money to spend to hire someone just to deal with chairs.

    I'll call the rental company and ask I just didnt know if anyone had successfully managed this before. thanks.
