Chairs

Personally, I’d try to add some cushions if you can!

View quoted message Thanks. Maybe we'll have to spend the extra £1 per chair and go chivari. I love crossback but they're £3.50 each (birchwood are £1.70 and chivari are £2.75). Having 62 seats for the day. We'll likely have about 100 guests for the evening. Do you think we'll need more chairs for then? We'll have space for 32 outside on bales (weather permitting) and a bit more on bales inside a bell tent (maybe 14).

I don't think you will need extra chairs for the evening guests as you have the bales. I would try and have cushion s though for your day guests if you are having a full sit down meal, but if not then I wouldn't worry too much as people will be mingling around and then dancing, that said for an extra 60 odd quid it would be worth it if you can afford it

View quoted message Thank you Charlotte. I guess I am just worried the British weather will play havoc and rain will stop play for the use of the bales. I am very tempted by the corssback chairs, which I really love. It's not a huge amount more in the grand scheme of things. Although this is not the first time we have had that attitude, then it all adds up haha.


Does anyone know if there's a calculation for amount of chairs per evening guest?
Thanks

View quoted message Yes the wear is something you can't control so if it worries you then maybe add some more. Our venue are doing chairs for 75% of our total evening guests if that helps

View quoted message Brilliant, yes 75% gives us a good figure to work with. Many thanks 😊

Also, your wedding is in a week. Thank you for spending the time to answer my questions at such a busy time for you!
