Are All Chair Covers Created Equal?

Written By: Brenda Penfound, Wedding Designer for Par-Tee Rentals

 We just received another call from a bride claiming the chair covers she rented off of the internet don’t fit the chairs at her venue.  Plus the chair covers are also very dirty.  Believe it or not, this is a very common occurrence.  Of course every chair in every venue is exactly alike and is exactly the same size, right?  In an ideal world maybe, but in our world the venue chairs come in many shapes, sizes and colours.

There are a great many brides buying or renting chair covers off of the internet today, thinking that they are getting a great deal. Of course weddings are expensive and you want to try and save money where you can, but this particular shortcut will usually cost you more money and more stress.  Believe it or not, the people claiming to rent or sell chair covers for $1.00 or $1.50 are actually taking advantage of you!  This is because most of the time these so called “bargain” chair covers are just not what you need.  There is no such thing as a chair cover that fits all chairs.  What we have seen is that the chair covers all too often arrive wrinkled, dirty and usually don’t fit the chairs at your venue, if you even receive them at all!!  This is a lot of extra stress a bride just doesn’t need.

Do you really want to take a chance on your wedding day by trusting someone who doesn’t have your best interest at heart?  Sure the ads on Kijiji claim to be offering great deals, but remember if it sounds too good to be true, it very likely is.  Your friend offering you their used chair covers can also be a risk not worth taking since you have no idea if they will fit the chairs at your venue, or even what type of condition they are in after being used. Not to mention that often even well-meaning friends can forget they have promised the chair covers to you and sell them or lend them to someone else.

In our area, we have to carry small and large chair covers in many colours and styles.  With over 6000 chair covers in stock we know which chair cover is needed for which venue. We also launder each of our chair covers after every use in our own laundry facilities, inspecting each by hand to ensure their cleanliness.  We guarantee your chair cover will fit and will be clean.  Hire a reputable, trustworthy décor professional in your area to make sure you get the best chair cover experience for your wedding.  Yes you will have to pay a bit more for your chair cover, but isn’t your wedding worth it?
