We are based in Albany, 20 miles from Rockville, and we have been hauling chairs around this county long enough to know which weekends disappear first. Folding chairs and banquet tables loaded on a trailer, quoted for the whole weekend. Tents and bounce houses too. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Rockville is 20 miles from Albany, roughly a 25-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. If you have something rated to tow, 20 miles is nothing. If you do not, the flat delivery rate to Rockville is quick to quote.
Rockville has around 2,412 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. The events we see out of Rockville are the ones a town builds its year around — graduations, anniversaries, benefits, wedding receptions in a pole shed.
We cover Rockville as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in Waite Park, Cold Spring and St. Augusta, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. You are renting a loaded trailer, not a chair count. Nobody tallies what you used when it comes back. You are dealing with the family that owns the trailer. There is nobody here to escalate to, and nobody who needs to be.
A Central Minnesota graduation open house is not a sit-down dinner. People arrive in waves across four or five hours, stay forty minutes, and leave. That means you do not need a chair for every guest on the list — you need a chair for everyone who happens to overlap.
For most Rockville open houses that works out to somewhere between a third and a half of your total invite list. A full trailer covers an open house with several hundred people through the door, which is more than almost any single Rockville graduation will see.
And you do not have to get the number right, because you are not renting by the chair. The trailer comes loaded for one flat price whether you use half of it or all of it, and if you need more than it holds we can add to it. See pricing →
Rocori Schools graduation lands in the same few weeks as every other district around here, and that is the crunch. The last two weekends of May and the first two of June are the ones that go first — often months ahead. If your Rockville open house is on one of those dates, get the trailer on the calendar before you order announcements, not after.
If we are already booked for your weekend we will tell you immediately rather than stringing you along, and we will usually know someone who can help.
One quote for the weekend covers the loaded trailer — folding chairs and banquet tables — as one bundle, however many you actually use. A $200 booking deposit reserves the date and comes off the total. Delivery to Rockville is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery applies here.
Fewer than your invite list. Guests come and go across the afternoon, so plan seating for the peak overlap — usually a third to a half of the total. A full trailer covers an open house with 350 to 500 people through the door.
As early as you can. Late May and early June weekends are the busiest of our year and they book months out. Once you know the date, call — a $200 booking deposit reserves it, and it comes off your total.
About 20 miles from Albany, roughly a 25-minute drive. It is an easy haul if you are towing it yourself.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Flat-rate delivery applies to Rockville, which is 20 miles from Albany.
The trailer is enclosed, so the chairs stay dry until you pull them out. If you have to move the whole thing indoors, the racks make picking them back up quick.
Come by Albany and look at it. We would rather you knew what you were getting than guessed from a photo.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and it is the billing model rather than a discount: companies that price per chair per day multiply by the count and again by the days. We quote the trailer once, for the weekend. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
We serve the whole stretch around Rockville — here are the closest towns and the county page.
Tell us the date and the headcount. We will confirm whether it is open, usually the same day.
Weekends book first, especially May and June. Send us the date and your headcount and we will come straight back to you on whether it is open.
