Wedding tent an chair rental question?

We are currently interested in possibly renting a tent for our outdoor wedding with about 70 guests in case there would be rain. My mom has a beautiful yard about 5 acres and were planning an outdoor wedding on May 2nd and I am worried about spring time rain. Also we were curious about chair rental of again for 70 guests? Any one have some experience renting a tent or chairs and an idea of the cost of one or both? Wedding tent an chair rental question?
I live in North Florida and we were looking at renting a tent as well. It turned out that we didn't need to as we found another ceremony/reception site, but the price I was quoted was $400.00 for the tent and another $200.00 for them to deliver and set it up. That was for 70 guests also. As far as the chairs go, I was quoted between $1-3, depending on the type of chair you get.





Hope this helps! :-)Wedding tent an chair rental question?
What you need to do is make sure to take into consideration everything you want %26amp; need the tent to cover. Is there an indoor area for the reception %26amp; you just need it for the ceremony? That would be a fairly small tent! If you need if for both, then you will need one big tent or two smaller ones; remember that for the reception you would need to put food table, cake table, beverage station, guest seating %26amp; possibly dancing. That is a bigger space!





Chairs are usually sold in several styles: white wood is the most common %26amp; usually the cheapest at about $2.5-4.00 each plus set up at about $.10-.25 per chair.





Reputable rental companies in your area should have everything you need %26amp; I really stress getting everything from one vendor if possible!
It is a great idea to rent everything for a wedding. I even rented my wedding dress and brides maid dresses. Check the rental section in your local yellow pages. Have a list of questions with you and check with the BBB in your area to be sure the company you choose is a good one. Also make sure they will deliver, set up, and take away in enough time for you to be able to decorate and clean up! Good Luck and Congratulations
The chairs we used for our wedding were $5 per chair to rent. If we wanted the chair people to set them up and take them down they added another $2 per chair. We decided to do that, it was less of a hassle for us. I can't help you with the tent though. You might want a back up plan though, just in case it does rain and sometimes with a spring rain it is really chilly outside.
It depends on your area for the cost of rentals... but my chairs were $1 apiece and the tent w/ set up was close to $400. (a tent that fit 6 tables of ten people each) That's a lot of money taken out of your $1,000 budget.... ps. I live in central PA
All depends on where you are. Maybe about 1000.00
I live in Dallas and I'm kind of doing the same thing so I will tell you how much it costs here.





size 30x30 Capacity 74 Price for 1 - 7 days $400.00


White folding chair Price: $1.50





It would cost about $505 without delivery and I chose the cheapest of everything. You should think about table rental as well.





My wedding is also on a very small budget $1400 (40 people) including the dress. I've made a lot of stuff and found super deals on things. The tent will be the biggest cost for you, the chairs aren't so bad. :)
