8 priced vendors
From the "starting at" price each vendor publishes on their own website or their Lazo profile, read 2026-11-02. A starting price is the smallest package they sell, not what a wedding ends up costing: nationally most couples pay $1,500-$5,000 once hours, add-ons and the date are in.
Washington DC against the rest of the country
The median published starting price for a rental company in Washington DC is $900, about 38% above the national median of $650. That is the local market, not a markup, and it is the number to compare a quote against rather than the national one. Often 15-25% of the order, sometimes more for a difficult site or an overnight strike.
What moves the price
- Guest count
- Every place setting is a chair, a linen, a plate, three glasses and flatware. The list scales exactly with the list.
- Whether the site has anything
- A bare field needs power, flooring, lighting and restrooms before a single table arrives. This is the difference between a $3,000 rental order and a $25,000 one.
- Delivery, setup and strike
- Often 15-25% of the order, sometimes more for a difficult site or an overnight strike.
- Upgrade tiers
- Chiavari chairs instead of folding chairs, or a specialty linen instead of standard, is typically $4-$12 per guest each.
