What Is Chairs Table And Canopy To Rent?
Most people don’t have enough tables and chairs for big events, because they don’t have that kind of space in their home or business. Event rental companies exist that rent tables and chairs to individuals or businesses for parties, as well as for business and commercial events.
Thinking of an easy-to-manage events business?
Owning an event rentals business takes a lot of dedication and lots of skills for it to be successful. An events business is generally broad and you can choose to be a jack-of-all-trades if you want to. On the other hand, you can also focus on certain parts of events planning.
For example, you can choose to come up with for wedding tent rental packages if you want to focus on covering wedding events. You can also consider creating a tent rentals business for all sorts of events (aside from weddings). Or perhaps you can go for a table and chair rentals business.
Tables and chairs may be one of the most taken-for-granted elements of any events settings. Normally, event holders would focus on the stage design, catering, and other event elements. But not almost always tables and chairs.
However, these simple furniture do play an important role in most types of events. Whether it’s a wedding, a bar mitzvah, sweet sixteens, or any other events you can think of, all of them need tables and chairs to accommodate and make the guests the entire time.
What to Consider when Renting Tables and Chairs:
There are many key factors to consider when choosing to rent chairs and tables for your next event. The information below is 11 factors to consider.
Key factors to consider are:
- Budget: Determine your budget for the tables and chairs.
- What is the event style: Is it Formal/Fancy – Basic/Casual – Rustic and anywhere in between?
- Timing of your event: What day is your event on? What is the time of your event?
- Indoor or Outdoor: Is your event going to be held inside or outside?
- Guest Size: Will everyone is seated at one time? Will you “turntables” to have multiple people sit down at different times? How many guests would you like seated at one time?
- Space Size: What is the size of the space where the items will be placed (i.e., 40’ x 30’)
- Additional Table Needs: Will you require any ancillary tables for your event, such as food tables, cake tables, high tops, registration tables, etc.
- Delivery and Pick Up Requirements: Are you able to pick up the items or require delivery?
- Weight Limits: Do you require chairs with any weight restrictions?

How Do Table and Chair Rental Services Work?
Once you have identified the answers to the key factors listed above, it’s best to reach out to a local chair and table rental provider to discuss their specific options and obtain any recommendations for your event and/or location. Each provider may have different products, inventory availability, delivery, and pick up options. Once you have determined that you would like to move forward with the reservation, it’s always best to go – ahead and place the reservation on hold. When you place the reservation on hold, you confirm that you would like to rent the items, and the rental company will place a “hold” on those items allocating their inventory for your event.
What is required to book the reservation? Each rental company may have a slightly different set of requirements for booking tables and chairs, but generally, the below are required:
- Signed Invoice
- Signed Terms and Conditions
- Credit Card Number
- A ~ 50% non-refundable deposit (typically can be paid in check or on the card)
Additional Information that may be required:
- Day of Contact and Cell Phone Number
- Delivery Address
- Delivery/Pick Up Time Requirements
- Are you interested in Set-Up/Take Down Services: Set up and take down services are when a customer hires the rental company to set up and take down the tables and/or chairs for the customer so that they don’t have too. Typically an agreed-upon layout for where the tables and chairs will be placed is required.
Table And Chair Delivery and Pick Up Options
How do delivery and pick up work for your tables and chair rental service? We get this question a lot; it’s common. Before detailing various delivery and pick up scenarios, we would like to point out one option that is also popular among customers, especially with smaller orders.
A standard option for most table and chair rental companies is to offer the customer availability to pick up the items at their location.
Customer Pick Up and Drop Off: Picking up the items from the customer’s location would save on delivery cost (which could be anywhere from $50 – $300 depending on your situation), but the customer does need to allocate time and potentially obtain a larger vehicle to pick up the items, depending on the size of the order.
For Delivery and Pick up of your items: What we find common for a weekend event is a Thur/Fri delivery, and a Mon/Tue pick up. Typically the rental company you choose(You should definitely choose Academy Rental Group :)) will notify you of the estimated delivery/pick up day and time a week in advance via phone or email. Occasionally, companies can provide a specific delivery/pick-up day and time at booking; however, many companies leave the delivery/pick-up days and times open to allow flexibility for other jobs to close and then batch those deliveries out together. Generally, you should know your estimated delivery and pick-up times between 1 week and 72 hours of your event.
Specific Delivery/ Pick Up Day or Time: If your event requires a specific delivery/pick up day or time, please notify the event rental company. There may be an additional fee to meet the specific delivery/pickup day and time requirements. For example, if your wedding venue requires that you do not access the location before 12 pm – 5 pm on Friday, your event rental company may charge a specific delivery fee (i.e., $75) to deliver your items during that time period. These options are common and can typically be accommodated, but due to these requests’ specific nature, rental company truck routing requires adjusting, and there are additional charges.
Weekday Events: For those with a weekday event, typically a delivery, unless a specific delivery or pick up time is required, is made a day or two before with a day or two pick up after. If the event is a Friday day event, those items may not be picked up the following Monday/Tuesday.
Weekend Delivery and/or Pick Up: Occasionally, weekend delivery and/or pick-up are required for some venues and even surprise parties. When that is the case, there may be an additional delivery/pick up charge for those services. These charges are mainly due to overtime pay required for employees, routing specific to one delivery/pick up and delivery and/or picking up on a weekend when offices may be closed. Roughly the cost would start at $150 each way depending on the amount of staff required.
