Our trailer lives in Albany, 18 miles from St. Stephen, and our family loads it ourselves. 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.
St. Stephen is 18 miles from Albany, roughly a 25-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. If you have something rated to tow, 18 miles is nothing. If you do not, the flat delivery rate to St. Stephen is quick to quote.
St. Stephen has around 798 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. The events we see out of St. Stephen are the ones a town builds its year around — graduations, anniversaries, benefits, wedding receptions in a pole shed.
We cover St. Stephen as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in Rice, Sartell and Royalton, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. There is no per-chair rate to do arithmetic on, and no weekend multiplier waiting at the end. The person reading your request is the person who loads the trailer. Nothing gets relayed.
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.
| What you get | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The loaded trailer | Quoted for the weekend | Chairs and tables on board |
| However many you use | Same quote | We do not split the load or count them back |
| Keep it Friday to Sunday | Same quote | No per-day multiplier |
| Need more than it holds | Just ask | We can add to it |
| Booking deposit | $200 | Reserves the date, comes off the total |
Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. We rent the trailer, not the chair — one flat price whether you pull a dozen off the rack or empty 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 St. Stephen, 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 St. Stephen on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Flat-rate delivery for St. Stephen.
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 St. Stephen is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery applies here.
About 18 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 St. Stephen, which is 18 miles from Albany.
Come by Albany and look at it. We would rather you knew what you were getting than guessed from a photo.
Friday is standard for a weekend booking, but if the trailer is free Thursday you can often have it then at no extra charge. It depends who has it before you.
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.
