What our crew brings on the truck
A 5ft round set for 8 — the standard Richmond reception configuration.
Same single inventory and crew calendar across the entire Lower Mainland. A Richmond couple gets the same catalogue any other city gets — without short-ships, without sub-rentals from another vendor.
On the truck for a typical Richmond event:
- Marquee tents from 20×20 up to 30×60, weather-rated, with sidewalls and lighting add-ons
- White Chiavari chairs for receptions, Fanback folding for ceremony rows
- 5ft round tables seating 8 guests, plus 6ft and 8ft banquet tables for the head, family, and gift lines
- Portable dance floors in 12×12, 12×16, and larger configurations
- Bistro lighting, cocktail highboys, linens, and heaters as add-ons on the same quote
Cultural weddings start when they start. Our truck arrives 90 minutes before your earliest milestone — every time.
Three operational patterns specific to Richmond
Cocktail highboys staged for a Richmond cocktail hour.
Cultural-wedding timing precision
Multi-stage ceremonies often start at 8 AM or earlier — tea ceremonies typically run before brunch. We dispatch the truck to be on-site 90 minutes before your earliest milestone, with the chairs set, aisle-spaced, and angled before family arrival.
Steveston wind exposure
Garry Point and the Steveston dyke trails sit on open water with afternoon wind that’s meaningfully different from Vancouver-side or inland Richmond venues. Sidewalls year-round, heavier anchor strategy, and a slightly larger marquee than headcount strictly requires.
Multi-venue events
Richmond cultural weddings often span two venues — ceremony at one site, reception at another. One quote, two delivery windows on the same day, same crew across both. We coordinate the timing directly with whoever’s running point on your day.
Per-item pricing
The same in Steveston as in central Richmond. Our 5ft round table is one rate, full stop. The line that changes between bookings is delivery — distance, multi-venue, wind-anchor — never the per-item rate.
Olympic Oval and Richmond corporate events
Richmond’s other operational rhythm is corporate — galas, product launches, conference functions, and charity events at the Olympic Oval and the larger downtown venues. The pattern is faster than weddings: corporate clients usually have approved-vendor lists and shorter procurement cycles, so 3–4 weeks of lead time is typical instead of the 6–8 we recommend for peak-season Saturdays. Most large-venue corporate setups skip the marquee entirely (the building’s interior is the venue) and run on banquet seating, Chiavari chairs, cocktail highboys, and bistro lighting for ambience.
A 100-guest Richmond wedding rental order
For a 100-guest Richmond wedding — say a Saturday in August at a Steveston-area outdoor venue with ceremony and reception both running on-site — a typical order looks like:
- 1 × 20×60 marquee tent with sidewalls (Steveston wind + evening enclosure)
- 100 × white Chiavari chairs (ceremony rows, then re-staged at reception tables)
- 12 × 5ft round tables for the reception
- 6 × 6ft banquet tables (head, family, gift, cake, DJ, bar)
- 1 × 12×16 portable dance floor
- 2 × cocktail highboys for the cocktail hour
- Bistro string lighting along the marquee ridge
- Ballasted weight kits (Steveston-area; engineered stakes elsewhere on grass)
Setup runs 5–6 hours; teardown 3–4. Both quoted up front.
For multi-stage cultural weddings the chair count typically scales (200–300 guest weddings are common), and the table side picks up additional banquet tables for larger family seating. The 50/100/150/200 rental checklist maps the configuration to larger headcounts; the square-footage-per-guest guide is the next read for sizing.
Why couples book us a second time
We’re a small enough team that the person who quotes your event is on the truck the morning of. We’re large enough that we own every line item — tent, chair, table, dance floor, lighting — and don’t sub-rent.
160+ five-star Google reviews. One number to call from quote to teardown. A quote you can read top-to-bottom in under a minute. That’s the service.
