At those prices, 50 white plastic chairs and five long tables for 10 come to Q175 before delivery (our arithmetic). The same page lists event gardens and halls for 150 to 450 guests, without prices.
Table packages for 10 guests (Alfa y Omega)
| Package | Per person | Per table of 10 | USD per table (approx.) | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Q60 | Q600 | ~$79 | Round plastic table (1.50 m), 10 Chiavari chairs in your choice of colour, a tablecloth, 10 cloth napkins, buffet and dessert plates, cups, champagne flutes, glasses, cutlery, an ice bucket and a jug; no set-up |

| Super Golden | Q140 | Q1,400 | ~$183 | Golden designer table with tempered glass or mirror, 10 designer chairs, napkins, coloured glass charger plates and glasses; table set-up |
All four exclude freight; the Standard and Vintage headers also exclude the night pick-up charge (the Super Lujo and Super Golden headers are cut off on the page). Complimentary extras (a cake table or cocktail table) depend on headcount: none for 50 guests or fewer, and each package words its threshold differently: Vintage says «solo 100 pers» (only 100 people), Super Lujo «Arriba de 100 personas» (above 100 people) and Super Golden «de 100 personas en adelante» (100 people or more). Confirm the exact headcount with the shop.

| Side umbrella, 3 m | Q250 | ~$33 |
| Other umbrellas (side / centre) | Q200 / Q130 | ~$26 / ~$17 |
One Chiavari listing gives a replacement price (precio de reposición) of Q475 per chair; ask the shop what it charges if one is damaged. Several chair listings say the chairs must not get wet or be wiped with a damp cloth. The decorative umbrellas are marked sun-only, not for rain; for several, the customer fills the base with water and returns it empty.
Canopy pack with sound (MiMarket seller)
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Super Pack: 3 x 6 m canopy, a table for 8 with 8 chairs, 4-channel mixer, laptop or music, 2 corded microphones, 4 lights with sockets | Q1,700 a day in the department of Guatemala (~$223) |
| Same, outside the department of Guatemala | Q2,000 a day (~$262) |
| Damage deposit | Q800 |
| Extras added to the pack | Q600 |
Book at least 2 days ahead; payment in full, by bank deposit, transfer, Bitcoin, PayPal or cash.
What public bodies paid (Guatecompras)
| Buyer (NOG) | What was rented | Awarded |
|---|---|---|
| INDE (31748996) | 2 canopies of 6 x 4 m and 10 plastic chairs, one event | Q2,100 |
| INDE (32261357) | 1 canopy of 6 x 4 m and 50 plastic chairs, project opening in aldea Setolox, El Estor, Izabal | Q4,200 |
| INDE (31747760) | 2 canopies of 6 x 4 m and 50 plastic chairs, project opening in caserío Santo Tomás Purahub, Cobán, Alta Verapaz | Q5,500 |
| Organismo Judicial (32311354) | Canopy rental, 1 service (scope not itemised in the record) | Q89,500 |
The three INDE rentals went to the same individual provider. The Organismo Judicial award covers a service the record does not break down, so it is not comparable with a party canopy.
Before you book
- Delivery, set-up and pick-up. Alfa y Omega’s package prices exclude freight, and the Standard and Vintage packages also exclude night pick-up; ask for them in the quote.
- Deposit and breakage. The MiMarket canopy pack asks for Q800; Alfa y Omega lists Q475 as the replacement price of a Chiavari chair. Ask what counts as damage.
- Rainy season. Alfa y Omega’s canopy page tells customers in the rainy season to ask for a gutter (canaleta) so water does not get in between canopies, and its decorative umbrellas are sun-only.
- IVA and factura. None of the sellers on this page says whether its price includes IVA, which is 12% under Decreto 27-92, Article 10. Ask, and ask for a factura if you need one.
- Booking ahead. The MiMarket pack needs 2 days’ notice and full payment.
- Catering and photos are separate. See catering prices and photographer prices.
