Our trailer lives in Albany, 46 miles from Maple Lake, 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.
Maple Lake is about 46 miles out from Albany — roughly 60 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. 46 miles each way is a real trip, so this is where the delivery quote actually matters. Ask and we will give you the number before you commit.
Maple Lake has around 2,197 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. Maple Lake events tend to happen in the places a town this size actually has: the church hall, the community centre, the ball field, somebody's shop.
We cover Maple Lake as part of a run through Wright County that also takes in Annandale, Buffalo and South Haven, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. Flat pricing means you can budget the party before you know the final headcount — which is the order people actually plan in. Nothing about this is complicated, and we work to keep it that way.
At a graduation open house you seat the overlap, because guests come and go. A wedding is the opposite: everyone sits down at the same moment, twice — once for the ceremony and once for dinner. You need a real chair for every guest on the Maple Lake list, not a fraction of it.
178 chairs covers a reception of up to about 178 people. If your list runs past that, call and we will tell you honestly whether we can cover it rather than letting you find out on the day.
Wedding setup is never a same-day job. You want chairs on site Friday so the ceremony space can be laid out without anyone rushing, and you do not want a truck arriving to collect them while the reception is still going.
The trailer is yours Friday through Sunday for one $299 charge. Set up Friday, move the chairs from ceremony to reception on Saturday, tear down Sunday when you are ready. No second delivery fee for the shuffle.
Clean steel folding chairs — the practical kind you see at barn weddings, church halls, VFWs and backyard receptions all over this part of Minnesota. They are sturdy, they are matching, and there are enough of them.
They are not gold chiavari chairs, and we would rather say so here than have you disappointed on the day. If your Maple Lake wedding calls for those, we are not your rental — but if you want every guest seated without a four-figure bill, this is exactly the job the trailer does.
$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 Maple Lake is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
One per guest. Unlike an open house, everyone sits at the same time — for the ceremony and again for dinner. 178 chairs covers a reception of up to about 178 people.
Yes, and most people do — set them for the ceremony, then move them for dinner. You have the trailer all weekend, so there is no rush and no second delivery charge.
About 46 miles from Albany, roughly a 60-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. Delivery quoted by distance applies to Maple Lake, which is 46 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.
