Guide To Hiring Chair Covers for Weddings and Events
Why Hire Chair Covers
Chair covers can be used to transform a venue by neutralising the colour scheme of the chairs and in many cases disguising worn and ageing chairs in an otherwise decent venue setting. Chair covers are a dramatic design statement in their own right that create a stunning setting which is why they have become an essential item for weddings and other events.
If you are organising a 'one-off' event such as a wedding reception you will clearly not want to buy chair covers for once off use so your best option is to hire chair covers.
Where To Hire Chair Covers
To make life easier here is a brief guide to selecting a company to hire from.
Make sure the company publishes an address on their website which should ideally be a business address. That said - many smaller local chair hire companies can provide excellent service and prices and many operate from home addresses. Remember - you will paying over a deposit of typically 50% often many months before your event and paying the full amount before the event. You want to make sure the company we still be there when the date of your event arrives. Ideally get references from from previous customers and check whether they are a registered company or not.
Ask for reccomendations - event and bridal forums are a good place for that but look out for 'unreliable' posters who may being hire companies themselves posting to get publicity. You can of course also ask your venue for reccomendations and many increasingly stock their own chair covers that you can hire. This often means you can save on transport charges and hopefully they will have custom chair covers designed to fit their chair specifically meaning you get a guaranteed excellent fit.
