Chiavari chairs bring classic elegance to any event, from wedding receptions to corporate dinners. Lightweight, stackable and available with optional seat cushion upgrades.
Selecting the right chairs for your event is never straightforward, particularly when you need seating that works with your budget and overall theme. Chiavari chair hire solves both problems at once.
With their timeless design, these strong yet lightweight chairs add a sophisticated touch to any venue while keeping guests comfortable throughout the day.
Chiavari chairs are a consistently popular choice because they suit almost any setting. You will find them at corporate conferences, wedding receptions and private functions alike.
Because Chiavari chairs are lightweight and stackable, they are straightforward to transport and store when not in use, particularly useful for both indoor and outdoor events where space is tight. Their open frame with vertical slats gives classic elegance without dominating a room visually.
These chairs can be hired with an optional cushion to keep guests comfortable during longer sittings at conferences, wedding receptions and awards ceremonies. Browse our full chair hire range for more options.
Chiavari chairs appear at a wide range of events. The most common are:
Order to your confirmed guest count for seated events. For weddings with both a ceremony and a reception at the same venue, you typically need chairs for both spaces unless the same chairs are moved between the two. Build this into your planning: moving chairs between rooms takes time and needs clear coordination with venue staff.
Confirm with your venue coordinator whether you need a single set of chairs moved or separate sets for each space. We can supply quantities for both if needed.
If numbers are still uncertain at the time of ordering, order to your best estimate and amend as confirmations come in. Orders can be amended up to seven days before delivery.
Cushions are optional on all Chiavari chair hire orders. They add a layer of comfort for long sittings and a visual softness to the chair that suits some settings more than others.
At a wedding reception where the formal dinner is followed by dancing, cushions on ceremony chairs are a practical addition. At a corporate conference where guests are seated for several hours, cushions become more important. For shorter events of two hours or less, most guests find Chiavari chairs comfortable without cushions.
Cushions are available in a range of colours to match event colour schemes. When ordering, specify your cushion colour preference so we can confirm availability alongside the chairs.
Our Chiavari chairs are the standard event size, suitable for adult guests at dining and conference settings. They are not suitable as primary seating for young children. For events with mixed adult and child guests, standard Chiavari chairs work well for adults; children typically manage comfortably with the addition of a cushion or a booster.
Each chair stacks for transport and storage. At a venue with tight storage space between rooms, this is a practical advantage over chairs that do not stack.
All Chiavari chair hire orders are delivered and collected by our team across England and Wales. Chairs are transported stacked and brought to your venue in the quantities ordered. We recommend delivery the day before an event and collection the day after, giving you time to set up and clear down without time pressure.
