Monticello sits 52 miles from our yard in Albany. We are a family operation, not a rental chain. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Monticello is about 52 miles out from Albany — roughly 70 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. This far out, we will tell you plainly whether delivery makes sense for your headcount, or whether you are better off towing.
With about 14,815 residents, Monticello is big enough to have real venues and a steady run of events, but small enough that your party is not a rounding error to whoever takes the booking. Monticello has enough going on that most weekends somebody is setting up folding chairs somewhere. We would rather it was ours than six borrowed sets.
We cover Monticello as part of a run through Wright County that also takes in Big Lake, Becker and Albertville, 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.
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 Monticello 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 Monticello 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 Monticello 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 52 miles from Albany, roughly a 70-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 Monticello, which is 52 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
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 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.
