Packages
Which setup is right for your event?
Quick answer
Sterling Event Rentals offers three package tiers for events of 25 to 300+ guests across Chicago and Chicagoland. Each package includes a tent, tables, chairs, and professional delivery, setup, and teardown. A $500 minimum applies. Request a quote to confirm pricing and availability for your date.
What is included in each package?
Three tiers built around guest count and what your event actually needs. The Ready Set covers private parties of 25–75 guests. The Event Ready is the full setup most Chicagoland corporate picnics and milestone events need — tent, tables, linen package, and a stage, all quoted upfront. The Sterling Experience is built for weddings and large corporate events from 150 to 300+ guests. Every package includes delivery, setup, and teardown by our crew.

Common questions about packages
Which package is right for my event?
Start with guest count. 25–75 guests fits The Ready Set. 75–150 fits The Event Ready — most corporate picnics and milestone parties land here once they see the stage and linen package included. 150–300+ guests is The Sterling Experience: weddings, large corporate events, galas, and any event where the setup itself needs to reflect the occasion. Not sure? Tell us your guest count and event type and we'll recommend the right fit.
How do I book a package? What is the deposit?
Call (773) 692-7576 or use the contact form. We confirm availability and send a quote. A 50% deposit holds your date; the balance is due at or before delivery. Setup fee is quoted upfront. No surprises.
Can I customize a package with add-ons?
Yes. Start with a package and add what you need. Add-ons include linen upgrades, tent sidewalls, stage extensions, games and entertainment (mechanical bull, bounce houses, cornhole, photo booth), chair upgrades, extended rental windows, dance floors, and more. We'll recommend options and quote them with your package so the total is clear before you confirm.
What is the minimum order for a package?
A $500 minimum rental applies to all packages. Your exact total depends on guest count, date, and add-ons. We quote the full amount before you confirm.
Why rent instead of buying tents, tables, and chairs?
For most events, buying doesn't make sense: you'd need transport, storage, and a crew to set everything up safely. Renting gets you professional equipment plus delivery, setup, and teardown — without the one-time purchase and the headache of storing it afterward.
Is setup included in the package price?
Delivery, setup, and teardown are included in every package. The setup fee is separate from the per-item rental cost — we quote it upfront so there are no surprises.
What is the deposit to reserve a package?
50% deposit holds your date. The balance is due at or before delivery. We confirm the total and deposit amount when you book.
Can I cancel or change my package after booking?
Full refund if you cancel 21 or more days before the event. No refund if you cancel within 21 days or once equipment has been delivered and set up. We'll work with you on date changes when possible.
Is a custom quote available for large events?
Yes. The Sterling Experience (150–300+ guests) is quoted per event. Call (773) 692-7576 or submit the contact form with your date, guest count, and event type — we'll send a full itemized quote before you confirm.
Ready to lock in your date?
50% deposit holds your date. Equipment, setup fee, and delivery all quoted before you confirm anything.
