Why renting beats buying for a one-off wedding
A single Chiavari chair costs upwards of SGD 60 to buy new. Rent one for the wedding night and you pay SGD 8 to SGD 15 instead. Unless you are running events every month, buying furniture for one wedding dinner ties up money in something that then sits in a storeroom most people in Singapore don't have. HDB flats, condo function rooms and small offices rarely have space to stack a hundred folded chairs between events, and most void decks and condo committees won't let you leave furniture behind anyway.
Renting also shifts the physical work off your plate. A vendor handling wedding tables and chairs manages the van, the manpower to carry stock up to a ballroom or down to a void deck, the setup against your floor plan, and the collection the next morning. For a two hundred guest dinner that is easily four to six man hours you would otherwise be doing yourself the night before an event you are supposed to be hosting, not hauling furniture for.
Wedding tables and chairs rental price list in SGD
Prices vary by vendor, quantity and how far ahead you book. The ranges below are typical for a standard one day rental period in Singapore, usually delivered the evening before or the morning of the event, and collected the next day. Ask your vendor to confirm current rates, since quantity discounts and peak season surcharges around Chinese New Year and year end move these numbers around.
| Item | Typical price (SGD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Folding chair | 4 to 6 each | Standard for corporate, casual and outdoor events |
| Banquet chair, cushioned | 6 to 8 each | Common for dinners and family style banquets |
| Chiavari chair (Tiffany style) | 8 to 15 each | Gold, silver, white or clear, for weddings and formal dinners |
| Bar stool | 8 to 15 each | Cocktail and networking events |
| Kids chair | 4 to 6 each | Sized for school and family day events |
| Folding table, rectangular (6ft) | 15 each | Seats 6 to 8, good for buffets and registration |
| Round banquet table (5ft or 6ft) | 60 each | Seats 8 to 10, standard for weddings and galas |
| Cocktail table (bar height) | 60 each | Product launches and networking sessions |
| Kids table | 15 each | Seats 4 to 6 children |
| Linen or chair cover | 6 to 8 each | Priced separately from the table or chair |
| Delivery and collection | 80 to 300 | Depends on distance, lift access, loading bay timing |
| Setup and teardown labour | 80 to 100 | Scales with headcount and layout complexity |
Most vendors set a minimum order of SGD 300 to justify sending a delivery truck and crew. Below that you may need to self collect, or pay a flat trip fee that makes a small order feel expensive per piece. If you already have entertainment, tentage or AV booked for the same date, ask for a bundled quote covering furniture, delivery and setup together. It usually beats booking furniture as a separate line item because the same truck and crew can handle both drops. You can see what else typically shares a delivery slot by browsing the full event types and act types we cover.
Chairs and tables for rent price: sizes and styles
The table shape you need depends on the event, not the venue. Round tables of 5ft or 6ft diameter, seating 8 to 10 guests, are the default for weddings and dinner and dance nights because they let people talk across the whole table rather than down a line. Rectangular trestle tables, usually 6ft or 8ft, work better for buffet spreads, registration desks and seminar rows where everyone faces one direction. Cocktail tables at bar height suit product launches and networking events where guests stand and circulate rather than sit for three hours.
On chairs, Chiavari chairs remain the standard request for weddings and formal dinners, available in gold, silver, white and clear, often with a seat cushion added for comfort across a three to four hour programme. Folding chairs stay the practical choice for town halls, outdoor fun days, and any setup where fast teardown matters more than how the chair looks in photos. For CNY reunion style dinners or family day events, round tables paired with folding chairs keep the per pax cost down while still looking presentable once dressed with a tablecloth.
How many wedding tables and chairs you actually need
Start from confirmed headcount, not the venue capacity listed in a brochure. For round tables seating 8 to 10, divide your guest count by 9 as a working average, then round up, since you will always have a table or two that seats fewer for VIPs, elderly guests or a wheelchair user. For a 200 pax dinner that works out to roughly 22 to 25 round tables. Add one or two spare chairs per zone for last minute plus ones, which happens at almost every Singapore wedding regardless of how firm the RSVP deadline was.
For seated conferences or town halls using rectangular tables, plan 2 to 3 feet of table edge per seated guest if there is any paperwork or laptop involved, tighter if it is a buffet style meal. Always confirm floor plan measurements against the actual ballroom or tent dimensions before finalising the order, not the seating capacity figure the venue quotes, which usually assumes a tighter pitch than most planners are comfortable with.
How wedding table and chair rental works, start to finish
A straightforward rental in Singapore runs through four steps.
- Enquiry and headcount. You share the event date, venue, guest count and rough layout. This is enough for a same day or next day quote from most vendors, ours included.
- Confirm quantities and style. The vendor proposes table shapes, chair type and quantities against your floor plan, then locks the order with a deposit, commonly 30 to 50 percent of the total.
- Delivery and setup. Furniture arrives at the agreed loading bay time, usually the evening before for hotel ballrooms or early morning for same day events. Setup follows your seating chart, not a generic layout.
- Teardown and collection. Furniture is cleared the same night or the next morning, depending on how long the venue allows the space to be held.
Lead time is typically 3 to 7 days for a straightforward order and 2 to 4 weeks for large events, weddings during peak season, or anything needing custom colours and linen. If you are also booking an emcee, live band or a lion dance troupe for the same event, request one combined quote. See our wedding emcee price guide or the lion dance troupe price list if those are also on your checklist. A single vendor handling both entertainment and furniture can schedule delivery around the same crew and truck run, which saves a second delivery fee entirely.
Venue rules: Marina Bay Sands, Suntec, hotel ballrooms
Where you rent from matters less than where you are setting up. Singapore's major venues each run their own loading bay booking system, and missing that window is the single most common cause of a delayed setup on event day.
| Venue type | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Marina Bay Sands, Resorts World Sentosa | Loading bay slots booked in advance, often 48 to 72 hours ahead. Vendors need to be on an approved list or submit company details for security clearance. |
| Suntec Singapore | Fixed load in and load out windows tied to your hall booking. Freight lift is shared with other events running concurrently, tighter during peak MICE season. |
| Hotel ballrooms (Shangri-La, Fullerton, Raffles, Capella) | Delivery usually required the evening before for daytime events. Extended holding of the ballroom past the agreed teardown hour is often charged separately by the hotel. |
| Void decks, community centres, outdoor sites (NParks, Sentosa, Gardens by the Bay) | Generally no loading bay at all. Delivery is by hand or trolley, which affects how early the crew starts and how many pieces move per hour. |
Ask any vendor quoting your event whether they have delivered to your specific venue before. A crew unfamiliar with Suntec's freight lift schedule or Marina Bay Sands' security clearance process can burn an hour of your setup window before a single chair is placed.
The mistake that costs the most
Booking furniture before checking the loading bay window
The single most expensive mistake is confirming a wedding tables and chairs order without first checking your venue's loading bay booking rules. Hotels and convention centres in Singapore often require load in slots booked days ahead. If your vendor turns up outside that window, furniture can sit in a van while you pay standby labour, or worse, setup gets pushed so late that guests arrive to an unfinished room. Confirm the loading bay slot with your venue coordinator before you sign off on a delivery time, not after.
Combine wedding furniture with entertainment and event production
Bella Entertainment has run corporate events, weddings and dinner and dance nights across Singapore since 2012, and furniture is rarely the only thing on the order. Most clients booking wedding tables and chairs are also arranging a stage, an emcee, a band or a photo booth for the same date. Ordering these together usually means one delivery truck instead of two, one point of contact instead of three, and a better rate on the furniture line since it isn't carrying the full delivery cost alone.
If your event needs a stage or a marquee alongside seating, or you're still finalising the programme, our team can walk through the full event types we cover and the full range of acts and services to see what pairs sensibly with your furniture order. Couples planning a wedding banquet often ask about wedding emcee pricing at the same time as their table layout, since both get finalised off the same guest count.

Frequently asked questions
How much does chair rental cost in Singapore?
Folding chairs typically cost SGD 4 to SGD 6 each, cushioned banquet chairs SGD 6 to SGD 8, and Chiavari chairs SGD 8 to SGD 15, depending on colour and finish. Most vendors apply a minimum order of SGD 300 for delivery, so a handful of chairs alone will usually cost more per piece than ordering as part of a larger event package.
What is the chairs and tables for rent price for a wedding?
A typical wedding order mixes Chiavari chairs at SGD 8 to SGD 15 each with round banquet tables at around SGD 60 each, plus linen at SGD 6 to SGD 8 per piece. Delivery and collection add SGD 80 to SGD 300 depending on distance and loading bay access, and setup labour runs SGD 80 to SGD 100.
What is the minimum order for table and chair rental?
Most Singapore vendors set a minimum order of SGD 300 to justify sending a delivery truck and crew. Orders below that threshold are usually offered as self collection, or charged a flat trip fee on top of the per piece price, which makes small orders feel expensive per chair or table.
How far in advance should I book wedding tables and chairs?
Book 3 to 7 days ahead for a standard corporate or private event using common stock like folding chairs and round tables. For weddings, large dinners or anything needing Chiavari chairs in a specific colour, custom linen, or delivery to a venue with strict loading bay rules, allow 2 to 4 weeks.
How many round tables do I need for a wedding?
Divide your confirmed guest count by 9, since a round 5ft or 6ft table typically seats 8 to 10 people, then round up. A 200 pax wedding dinner usually needs roughly 22 to 25 round tables once you account for a VIP table or two seating fewer guests and spare chairs for last minute plus ones.
Do rental prices include delivery and setup?
No. Delivery and collection are quoted separately at SGD 80 to SGD 300 depending on distance, lift access and loading bay timing, and setup and teardown labour runs SGD 80 to SGD 100. Always ask for an all in quote that includes both before comparing vendors on per piece price alone.
Can I rent furniture and entertainment from the same vendor?
Yes. Many clients booking wedding tables and chairs also need a stage, emcee, band or lion dance troupe for the same date. Booking both through one vendor usually means a single delivery truck, one point of contact, and a better overall rate than treating furniture and entertainment as separate orders.
What is the difference between round and rectangular tables?
Round tables of 5ft or 6ft diameter seat 8 to 10 guests and work best for weddings and dinners because guests can talk across the whole table. Rectangular trestle tables of 6ft or 8ft suit buffets, registration desks and seminar style seating where everyone faces one direction instead of each other.
