Princeton sits 56 miles from our yard in Albany. We are a family operation, not a rental chain. 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.
Princeton is about 56 miles out from Albany — roughly 75 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 5,304 residents, Princeton 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. Princeton runs a full calendar — graduations, weddings, fundraisers, company events — and the venues here are used to outside rentals rolling in.
We cover Princeton as part of a run through Mille Lacs County that also takes in Zimmerman, Pease and Foreston, 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.
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 Princeton 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 Princeton 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 Princeton 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 56 miles from Albany, roughly a 75-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 Princeton, which is 56 miles from Albany.
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 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.

Tell us the date and the headcount. We will confirm whether it is open, usually the same day.
Weekends book first, especially May and June. Send us the date and your headcount and we will come straight back to you on whether it is open.
