Hitch & Host runs out of Albany, 38 miles from Osakis. Family owned, one trailer, one price. 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.
Osakis sits about 38 miles from Albany, a 50-minute drive. We deliver out here regularly. This far out, we will tell you plainly whether delivery makes sense for your headcount, or whether you are better off towing.
Osakis has around 1,751 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. The events we see out of Osakis are the ones a town builds its year around — graduations, anniversaries, benefits, wedding receptions in a pole shed.
We cover Osakis as part of a run through Douglas County that also takes in West Union, Nelson and Carlos, 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. We would rather turn down a booking than take one we cannot do properly.
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 Osakis list, not a fraction of it.
A full trailer seats a reception of several hundred. If your list runs past that, ask and we will tell you honestly whether we can cover it — we can usually add to the load — 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 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 Osakis 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.
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 Osakis 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. A full trailer seats a reception of several hundred, and we can add to the load if your list runs past it.
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 38 miles from Albany, roughly a 50-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 Osakis, which is 38 miles from Albany.
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.
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 and water slides come with their own blower and ground stakes; if you would like us to deliver and set one up, say so and it is quoted with the booking.
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.
