When you’re planning an event whether that be a festival, a wedding, or simply a backyard party, one of the most important things to think about is what is everyone going to sit on?
We’ve heard the question – “What’s your best chair?” countless times and the answer is that there isn’t one. Your event is going to be different than anyone else’s which is why it’s important to choose what’s best for you.
Our team at Lions Event Rentals decided to put together a guide so that you know exactly what your options are for renting chairs and you can make the best choice for yourself.

Plastic Folding Chairs

The first place to start is the classic plastic folding chair. You’ve sat in it hundreds of times and you’ve probably never thought much of it. Whether you sat in a plastic folding chair at your high school graduation, your friend’s backyard BBQ, or at a concert, you probably never had too much to complain about and you went about your business.
That really is the beauty of plastic folding chairs, they’re not there to be the centre of attention and they get the job done. So whether you just need something to sit on, or you are working on a budget, these are your chairs!
Our options for plastic folding chairs are white and black and we always provide clean and non-damaged chairs. We rent them for $2.00 each and they’re easy to transport!

Padded Resin Folding Chairs

The padded resin folding chairs are known as a classic in Vancouver. The white padded chairs in particular are definitely one of the most popular chairs for events. Why is that? Well for one, the price is just a small step up from plastic folding chairs and the look of them is worth every penny.
Since we know these chairs are so popular, we try to price them at an accessible price-point for our customers at $4.50/ each. These chairs are easily stackable and transportable which we love on our end. The padded resin chairs are also versatile, we see them go out for not only weddings and ceremonies but corporate luncheons, staff retreats, and even for beer gardens at festivals!

Vineyard Chairs

Vineyard Chairs have become more and more popular every year we’ve been in business. They’re the foundation behind any rustic themed event and really do impress guests when they first lay eyes on them. These chairs definitely fit a more elegant / farmhouse / rustic theme and should be your first thing on your list if you’re going for that.
Due to their larger size and more difficult means of transportation and storage, we have them priced higher at $9.95 per chair which includes the option to add a cushion.

Gold Chiavari Chairs

The gold chiavari chairs fall into a similar niche as the vineyard chairs except they provide a bit more of a royal theme than a rustic theme. Our gold chiavari chairs are high quality and lightweight making them one of our favourite chairs.
These chairs get rented for a multitude of events, weddings, ceremonies, banquets, corporate events, galas, and more. If you want to start your planning phase by securing chairs that make your guests feel like royalty, start here.
Our Gold Chiavari chairs rent for $9.95 and include an option to add a cushion. We also carry a limited amount of black chiavari barstools that are a similar style to these.
