Hitch & Host runs out of Albany, 23 miles from Sauk Centre. 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.
Sauk Centre is 23 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. A 30-minute tow each way is the trade for free delivery. Most people with a truck decide it is worth it.
With about 4,616 residents, Sauk Centre 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. Sauk Centre 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 Sauk Centre as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in West Union, Melrose and Meire Grove, 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. 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 Sauk Centre 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 Sauk Centre 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 Sauk Centre 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 23 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 Sauk Centre, which is 23 miles from Albany.
It is a normal enclosed trailer. If you have pulled a boat or a skid loader trailer you will be fine. If you have not, most people would rather we deliver, and that is a fair call.
No. Chairs, tables and bounce houses is the whole list right now, with tents and yard games coming. We would rather do a short list properly.
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.
