Yikes! That does seem like a lot. I thought they were in the $4-5 range when I was looking...before I found out my hall provides them.

That's REALLY expensive.

The Finishing Touch & Parago Designs charge $4/$5 per chair cover w/sash - including set-up and take-down.

I'm renting mine online for $1.90 w/sash - and my DOC will be setting up and taking down.

I wish my hall provided them! They just got new chairs but I still like the elegant look of chair covers with a sash. I really don't think we can afford that!

i called the finishing touch and they gave me that quote, where are you ordering yours? I have a DOC and maybe I can ask her to do that

That's odd - I got a quote for less. Sorry.

I'm ordering them from:

Re: $7 per chair for chair cover???

OMG!! That is way too much. Average price is $2-$3 tops and that may even include a bow. Have you asked your hall if they can provide them? This way they will set up and remove.

My hall charges $4 a chair, so $7 really is a lot.

I paid $6 for mine from the Finishing Touch. They gave me a discount for being off season though. Could you choose a more simple cover maybe?

When I called that is the price she quoted me for all of them.. I thought it odd that there was not a variety of prices/covers to chose from.. maybe I will call back and see if I get another price... thanks

Re: $7 per chair for chair cover???

WOW

That is a lot of money for a chair cover! My hall provides them, but if they didn't, then the chairs would be fine for me without the cover on them. For a 200 person wedding, that would be an extra $1,400! That could pay for your favors or something. IMO that is a lot of money for chair covers.

Re: $7 per chair for chair cover???

Wow, that expensive! My hall was charging $3- $4 each, but when we went to sign the contract, they included them in our contract for free, I was so happy..

I wasn't going to pay for chair covers if they weren't included.

Re: $7 per chair for chair cover???

I think i might be paying around 7 (dont forget to include tax/tip). Mine also includes 3 or 4 napkin changes.
