How It Works

Wedding rentals typically cost $1,500-$5,000 for indoor venues and $5,000-$15,000+ if a tent is required. Chair upgrades (chiavari, ghost) can add $1,000-$2,000.

The Formula

Total = Tables + Chairs + Linens + Tent + Dinnerware + Dance Floor + Lighting + Delivery

Variables

  • Chair Cost — Folding $2.50, Standard $5, Chiavari $10, Ghost $15 each
  • Tent Cost — Frame $2.50/sqft, Pole $1.75/sqft, Clear $4/sqft

Example

150 guests, standard chairs, standard linens, no tent: Tables $228 + Chairs $750 + Linens $700 + Settings $1,200 + Dance/Light/Delivery $1,250 = $4,128.

Tips

  • Ask venues what they provide before renting duplicates
  • Tents need permitting in many cities — check with the venue
  • Rent 5% extra dinnerware for breakage replacements
  • Bundle rentals from one company for delivery savings
  • Chiavari chair pads are usually included but confirm
