I'm getting married at the Merion in Cinnaminson, NJ on May 16th.  I really would love to rent chiavari chairs but they cost anywhere from $12 to $6 per chair.  I've been doing my research and most chair rental companies rent out the chairs for 3 days....Know where I'm getting at??  If you want chiavari/ballroom chairs too and would like to split the cost (so long as we're not getting married on the same day) here I am!

Anyone else try this before or thought of it?  What's the lowest price you've seen and where?

hey lady,

i've never heard of people doing this before but don't see why it couldn't work. I'm getting married that weekend too (Sat, the 15th). However, my reception site provides the chairs so I don't need to rent them :( sorry!!

Well May 16th is a Sunday right? You should be able to find an area bride on Sat May 15th that needs chairs.... however do you know the additional costs of having the chairs transported to two locations? 

Have you tried this post on the share tab in the classifieds section? Also the NJ brides site as well... there could be additional so-jersey brides... 

Sorry I wish I could help you out some more! 

i'm getting married on the 15th in philadelphia. my venue provides chairs but they are basic brown metal folding chairs. so i was a bit interested in sharing the chiavari, but unsure with the logistics & procedure/legal stuff with the rental company. also, i have a small reception with only 80 guests.

i hope you'll find another bride to share with.

Thanks for the helpful advice!  I would need to work out the logistics but I'm sure it's do-able.  I may just have to suck it up and pay full price for the chairs!  I'll try the classified section too!

Thanks again!
