What types of chairs do your chair covers fit?
Our chair covers are designed to fit most standard event and banqueting chairs, including traditional banqueting chairs, hotel dining chairs and stacking chairs commonly used at wedding and event venues. We also offer options suitable for Chiavari chairs and other specialist styles. If you’re unsure which chairs your venue uses, try our chair cover fit guide: pick the chair that looks like yours and see which of our covers fit. Or just let us know the venue name or send us a photo and we’ll be happy to confirm the best fit for you.
Do you offer delivery and collection?
Yes, we offer delivery and collection across our local service area, with nationwide options available on request. You can also choose to collect your chair covers if you prefer. Delivery times and options will be confirmed when you place your booking.
Are your chair covers clean and ready to use?
Absolutely. All chair covers are professionally cleaned and quality-checked before every hire. They arrive fresh, pressed and ready to dress your chairs, so you can focus on enjoying your event.
Can I change my order after booking?
We understand that event plans can change. You can usually amend quantities or colours up to a set date before your event, subject to availability. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make any changes and we’ll do our best to help.
How far in advance should I book chair covers?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak wedding and event seasons. Popular colours and dates can book up quickly, so securing your chair covers early helps avoid disappointment.
What happens if a chair cover gets damaged or stained?
Normal wear from an event is included in the hire price. However, significant damage, burns or wax stains may be chargeable. We always aim to be fair and will discuss any issues with you before applying additional charges.

Premium cotton chair covers are £3.25 each and Lycra chair covers are £1.25 each (0 – 200 covers). Organza sashes are £0.75 and napkins £0.60. See our full hire rates & prices, and for 200+ covers please call us for a quote.
How do I book?

When will my order be delivered and collected?
Chair covers are delivered to the venue or your home 2 days before the event and picked up again on the next working day after the event.
Do I need to fit the covers myself?
All you have to do is pop the cover on and tie the bows. If you would like us to dress the room for you, we offer a fitting service for events near Milton Keynes at an additional cost. Please ask at the time of enquiry.
What colours are available?
Our chair covers come in white, ivory and black. Sashes are available in a wide range of organza, taffeta, linen, lace and hessian colours, which you can browse on our sash colour options page.
Can I see the covers before I book?
Yes. You can order samples of any of our covers. If you are local to Milton Keynes, you can also book an appointment to see the range of colours and feel the quality of our linen for yourself.
