01Per-chair and per-table price ranges in Surrey
The spread across Lower Mainland rental companies is wider than couples expect, and the cheapest sticker price is almost never the cheapest delivered cost. Here's the headline range:
| Item | Per unit | 3-day weekend rental |
|---|---|---|
| Folding chair (white or black/grey) | $1.25–$1.95 | $1.95–$2.75 |
| Resin garden chair (white) | $3.50–$4.50 | $3.95–$5.25 |
| Fanback garden chair (white) | $3.95–$4.95 | $4.50–$5.75 |
| Bistro / patio chair | $2.25–$3.25 | $2.75–$4.00 |
| Chiavari chair (with cushion) | $7.00–$9.50 | $8.50–$11.00 |
| Banquet 6ft | $7.00–$10.00 | $8.00–$12.00 |
| Banquet 8ft | $10.00–$14.00 | $12.00–$16.00 |
| Round 48" | $8.00–$11.00 | $9.00–$13.00 |
| Round 60" | $10.00–$14.00 | $11.00–$15.00 |
| Round 72" | $13.00–$17.00 | $15.00–$19.00 |
| Cocktail (30×42") | $10.00–$14.00 | $12.00–$16.00 |
Most Lower Mainland rentals default to a "weekend rental" rate covering Friday–Monday delivery and pickup. Mid-week or single-day rates are typically 70–85% of the weekend rate.
If you only read this section
- Fanback garden chairs are the right default for BC weddings — under $5/chair, photograph beautifully, hold up outdoors.
- Chiavari chairs are 2× the price — worth it for weddings where the chair is in every photo.
- 5ft round tables of 8 are the wedding standard. Banquet tables seat more guests but feel less formal.
- Delivery is rarely free below the standard zone. Expect $50–$150 round trip across Surrey.
- Bundle to save 5–15% — most companies discount when chairs + tables + linens come together.
02Chiavari vs. fanback vs. resin garden — what to pick
Three chair categories dominate Surrey weddings. The right pick depends on your photography priority, formality, and budget.
- Resin garden / fanback chairs — the BC outdoor-wedding workhorse. White, lightweight, elegant enough for ceremonies and receptions, weatherproof. Our fanback garden chair is our most-rented chair across Surrey, Langley, and the Fraser Valley.
- Chiavari chairs — the formal upgrade. Solid wood (or aluminum) frame, padded seat cushion, gold/silver/white finish options. The right call for weddings where chairs feature prominently in photos. Our white Chiavari with cushion is the most popular Chiavari finish in BC.
- Folding chairs — the budget option. Functional, not photogenic. Right for casual events, kids' parties, corporate setups where the chairs aren't the focal point.
- Bistro/patio chairs — for cocktail-style or lounge-style setups. Less common at full receptions.
03Banquet vs. round vs. cocktail — what each is for
Tables divide into three families based on event style:
- Round tables (48", 60", 72") — wedding-default. 60" rounds seat 8 comfortably; 72" rounds seat 10. Better sight lines for toasts than long banquets.
- Banquet tables (6ft, 8ft) — long rectangles. 6ft seats 6, 8ft seats 8. The right call for family-style dining, modern long-table receptions, and any event where the head-table look is important.
- Cocktail tables — high-tops for standing cocktail hour. 30" diameter, 42" tall. Plan one cocktail table per 8–10 guests at standing receptions.
Most Lower Mainland weddings book 5ft (60") round tables for the seated reception plus 1–3 banquet tables for the head table, gift table, and bar. See our rental checklist by guest count for the standard table mix at common headcounts.

The rustic-farmhouse aesthetic has been the dominant BC wedding style since 2022, and harvest tables — solid wood, often cross-legged or X-base, 8ft long — are the centrepiece. They're specialty inventory in the Lower Mainland; not every rental company stocks them.
- Standard harvest tables (8ft pine or fir, X-base) — $65–$95 per table per day. Seats 8.
- Distressed/whitewashed harvest tables — $80–$110 per day. Same dimensions, different finish.
- Cross-back wooden chairs (paired with harvest tables) — $5.50–$7.50 per chair, between Chiavari and resin pricing.
- Farm-style benches — $40–$60 per bench. Each seats 4 (replaces 4 chairs at half the line-item cost, but less comfortable for a 4-hour reception).
Harvest setups skip linens (the wood is the look) — saving $10–$15 per table on linen rental. The trade-off is you can't hide setup imperfections under a tablecloth, so the surface needs to be ready for photos.
04Delivery and pickup fees in Surrey
Delivery is rarely included in the per-chair price. Standard structure across Surrey-area companies:
- Customer pickup from warehouse: free (most companies). You're responsible for transport, loading, and return.
- Delivery within Surrey + adjacent (Langley, White Rock, Delta, Cloverdale): $45–$95 round trip for orders under $500; often included on orders over $1,000.
- Delivery to extended zone (Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby): $95–$175 round trip.
- Stairs, narrow access, complex sites: labour surcharge $25–$95 added.
- After-hours pickup: $250+ surcharge.
05Bundling chairs with tables (and linens) to save
Almost every Surrey-area company offers package discounts when you book chairs, tables, and linens together — typically 5–15% off the line-item subtotal. The math becomes important at 100+ guests. A typical 100-guest wedding chair-table-linen package vs. á la carte:
- 100 fanback chairs á la carte: $475
- 13 × 60" rounds á la carte: $182
- 13 white linens (60" round size) á la carte: $156
- Á la carte total: $813
- Bundled package: $695 (~$118 savings, ~14%)
If you're booking from one company anyway, ask explicitly for the bundled price. Most quotes default to á la carte unless you ask.
06The math at 50, 100, and 150 guests
Real-world chair-and-table totals for Lower Mainland weddings, May 2026 ranges:
- 50 guests: 50 fanback chairs ($225) + 6 × 60" rounds ($66) + 6 linens ($72) + 1 × 8ft head table ($14) = ~$377 á la carte. Bundled: ~$320.
- 100 guests: 100 fanback chairs ($450) + 13 × 60" rounds ($143) + 13 linens ($156) + 2 × 8ft banquet ($28) = ~$777 á la carte. Bundled: ~$660.
- 150 guests: 150 Chiavari chairs ($1,275) + 19 × 60" rounds ($209) + 19 linens ($228) + 3 × 8ft banquet ($42) = ~$1,754 á la carte. Bundled: ~$1,490.
For full headcount-based rental specs (including tents, dance floors, and lighting), the rental checklist by guest count is a useful cross-check.
