Furniture rentals for a wedding are a significant expense in the venue budget of a bride. Often, the venue itself will have set prices for their available furniture, or will prefer that you use a vendor it deals with often. Regardless if you use a recommended vendor or ferret a company out for yourself, you should be aware of the average cost of wedding furniture rentals so you know you are getting a good price. Round Tables Most of the decorating energy for a wedding will be focused on tables and table design. Since linens will be covering your table, concentrate on the shape you want rather than the appearance of the table. Round tables help spur conversation among guests, and typically cost around $8 for a 48 inch table that will seat six guests. Eight to 10 guests can be seated at larger tables of 60 to 66 inches, which usually cost between $8.30 and $8.50 per table. It is always less expensive to opt for a larger table because you will need fewer tables and centerpieces. Square and Rectangular Tables For a more vintage look, you may consider square and rectangular tables that can stand alone or be lined up in a row.
Tables that are 6 feet long typically seat six to eight people for between $6.75 and $8 each. A table that is 8 feet long that can seat up to 10 can be found for between $7 and $8.50 each. No matter the length, the width is usually 30 inches. Chairs Unless you are planning on covering a chair with rented linens, the look of the chair is important. Unlike the table rental, the chair will be on display, so more care should be taken in choosing its style. The least expensive chairs are the more traditional white padded and stained wood chairs. These cost around $2 each. A folding chair with no padding is even more economical at $1 each. A fancier chair choice is the Chiavari chair. These have more of a dining room chair appearance, which is more luxurious and suits vintage and upscale weddings the best. These can range from $5 to $8 depending upon the company. Lounge Furniture A popular choice for reception decor for modern-styled weddings is the outdoor living room, or "lounge" style. This involves couches, ottomans and outdoor beds for a relaxed cocktail experience.
Square ottomons can be placed separately or pushed together for combined seating for about $55 to $65. Square beds are a fun alternative to cocktail chairs, and are generally $70 to $85. Round beds are a bit pricier, around $195 each. Lounge furniture pieces can be sold as combinable separates, so you can mix and match within your price point for an original design that best suits your space.

Basically, I either love a wedding chair or absolutely hate it, and there’s no in between. I think wedding chairs are one of the most important details at a wedding, and one that is often an after-thought for many brides.
While we don’t all have an unlimited budget to rent the best/most creative wedding chairs on the market, there are several options that are just as affordable as your ho-hum folding chair. Take, for instance, the Vienna chair pictured below. Why have a boring ol’ banquet chair when you can have a well-designed (albeit plastic) one? I would even venture as far to say that wedding chairs are just as important as your flowers/centerpieces. You could even argue that they’re more important, considering you’ll have more of them on display. With that said, you can’t always get what you want if you don’t know what’s out there and for how much. Once you determine your wedding venue and space, the chairs will be an important part of your look. Find the style you like and shop around to see who has the best prices. And don’t forget to NEGOTIATE!! If you find it cheaper somewhere else, get the rental company to cut you a better deal. Or see if you can get the chairs for 10-15 percent off from a vendor right off the bat.
It never hurts to ask. Below are the most popular wedding chair rentals on the market today, and the average prices I’ve found them listed for (via the links below). If you’re looking to go outside the box for your wedding rentals, reach out to a vintage wedding rental company and have fun with mix/match chairs.
