Do you have to set them up and break them down or does the renting fee include this?We're having our ceremony held outside, and the place we are having it is costing us $6/chair and they are just conference chairs with white covers. We saw the nice, white ceremony chairs at a rental place for $2.75. That will cut our ceremony fee in half, which is great!! Especially with having better looking chairs. I just am unsure if they normally set them up (the rental company) or if we have to do this ourselves.Thanks :)
The simple thing here is to ask who sets up the chairs. That way you'll know for sure. If the venue is charging you for the chairs, that includes the set up, of course. I doubt very much that you would be allowed to bring chairs in from the outside. You can ask, but keep in mind that these reception venues make their money on these rentals and services. If you are allowed to bring your own chairs, ask the rental company if the cost includes set up (I doubt that it does). Still though, if you are allowed to order your own chairs, you might ask a couple of friends to be in charge of the project to avoid the set up fees.
each company is different, some do dome don't the best thing would be to contact the rental company and ask them if they set up or are just a drop and run. if you have to set them up just have the best man and grooms men help setting them up.
Normally the cost only includes delivery and pick up, not set up. You may be able to offer them a little extra for them to set up and tear down though. Or hire a couple of pre teens/teens to come set them up and tear them down for you....It would still be a lot cheaper than the $6 chairs!
Call and ask them. Why did you go with $6 a chair and not $2.75. Think about the price if you find out you need to have someone set up for you. Out side weddings I like best no matter what you have to do.
The place we're renting from has a separate setup/take down fee on top of the price for the chair. They also have a separate delivery fee. So, we're paying $2/chair, $.80/chair set up, and $25 flat delivery fee. Your rental company might have something similar. Best to ask.
