Our trailer lives in Albany, 21 miles from Rice, and our family loads it ourselves. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Rice is 21 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. If you have something rated to tow, 21 miles is nothing. If you do not, the flat delivery rate to Rice is quick to quote.
Rice has around 2,126 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. The events we see out of Rice are the ones a town builds its year around — graduations, anniversaries, benefits, wedding receptions in a pole shed.
We cover Rice as part of a run through Benton County that also takes in St. Stephen, Royalton and Bowlus, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. One number, agreed on the phone, unchanged when you return it. We have never seen a reason to complicate it. We would rather turn down a booking than take one we cannot do properly.
One trailer, one flat price, and a family that reads every request itself. Here is the whole list — there is no hidden catalogue behind it.
| Chairs you actually use | What you pay | Cost per chair | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 chairs | $299 | $7.47 | Same trailer, same price |
| 80 chairs | $299 | $3.74 | Same trailer, same price |
| 120 chairs | $299 | $2.49 | Same trailer, same price |
| 178 chairs | $299 | $1.68 | Same trailer, same price |
One flat $299 for the weekend whether you pull 40 chairs off the rack or all 178. Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. That is the whole reason we bundle it.
Pick the loaded trailer up in Albany with a truck or SUV rated to tow, using a 2-5/16 inch ball. Tow it to Rice, pull the chairs off, host, hang them back, bring it home. This is the cheapest way and it is what most people do.
Tell us the date, headcount and address and we deliver to Rice on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Flat-rate delivery for Rice. Bounce houses are always delivered and set up by us.
$299 for the weekend gets you all 178 folding chairs and 4 tables as one bundle, whether you use forty of them or all of them. A $200 refundable deposit holds the date. Delivery to Rice is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery applies here.
About 21 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-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 Rice, which is 21 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
No — you pull them off the racks and place them where you want them. That is part of why the price is what it is. Bounce houses are the exception; those we always set up ourselves.
A chair or two out of 178 is wear and tear, not a problem. The deposit is there for real damage, and in practice we have rarely needed it.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and the arithmetic is public: $299 across 178 chairs is $1.68 a chair for the entire weekend. Companies that price per chair per day multiply that by however many days you keep them. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
