7-Year Old Rental Company Primed for Growth
Rent Wedding Chairs is a highly regarded, 5-star rated company that specializes in renting... chairs for weddings! The owners started the company after their own DIY wedding, and from that time have grown the business into the go-to company in Columbus for chiavari chairs. We believe (and our customer loyalty represents) that our price point, inventory quality, and customer service are what differentiate us from the larger rental companies. The profile of our typical client is a cost-conscious couple that's having an otherwise high-dollar wedding. They are typically having their events at tier 1 venues with large guests lists, and they want to save money without compromising on aesthetics. We believe the Rent Wedding Chairs has built up significant goodwill in the local wedding planning community, and that a horizontal expansion into other product categories could easily take this business to $1M+ in annual sales while preserving the high margin we operate at today. We are selling for personal reasons - mainly that I took a fulltime role with my family's real estate business this year, and with a third child on the way in 2026 we cannot give our full time and attention to our beloved small business going forward. We are hoping for an early-2026 transition of ownership so that the new owners can get their feet while events are slow, but bookings are coming in quickly.

- Facilities & Assets
- The business includes (1) 18' 2017 Isuzu box truck (195,000 miles), (4,000) chiavari and cross-back chairs, (5000) cushions, (220) tables, and a various other items including dollies, carts, straps, pallet jack, shelving, general warehouse items, etc. The cost to purchase the inventory new today would be between $350,000-$400,000, and likely higher in 2026 if tariffs are not lowered.
The business currently occupies 3200 sqft of a 9200 sqft industrial building with (2) drive-in doors and a loading dock. The extra 6000 sqft are available for expansion. - Website

- Market Outlook / Competition
- We are the leading low-cost provider of chiavari chairs in Columbus, OH. We have built a sterling reputation, with only 5-star ratings on The Knot and Google. We get ~50% of our business via referrals from wedding planners and venues, including from the highest demand and most expensive venues in Columbus (the Statehouse, Museum of Art, Conservatory, etc). There is no competition at our price point. Larger companies (Event Source, Lasting Impressions) charge double. We do 250-300 events per year (with capacity to do more without adding new inventory)
- Opportunities for Growth
- There is a ton of opportunity for growth, mainly from product expansion. We started our company by specializing in a single product(chiavari chairs). The opportunity to cross-sell other items and services for the 250-300 events we already service annually is enormous. It will take someone who has a vision to parlay the goodwill the business has built up into other categories.
