We are a family-owned rental outfit in Albany, and Paynesville is 22 miles up the road. 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.
Paynesville is 22 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. 22 miles is an easy pull on good road. Plenty of Paynesville customers do it themselves and skip the delivery line entirely.
Paynesville has around 2,553 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. Paynesville 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 Paynesville as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in Roscoe, Regal and Lake Henry, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. The price does not move with your headcount. That is not generosity, it is just simpler to run one trailer than to count chairs twice. Word travels in towns this size, which is the only reason we need to keep this straight.
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 Paynesville 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 Paynesville 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 Paynesville is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery 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 22 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 Paynesville, which is 22 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.
