Chairs are a really big deal for weddings. Most venues move chairs from ceremony to reception but the reset and delay is terrible for wedding guests. That’s why we use formal chavari banquet chairs inside Avalon Hall and padded seat garden chairs for terrace and outdoor garden events.
Guests don’t have to move their own chairs or wait for them to be moved.
Transitioning from ceremony to reception is easy and nobody even thinks about chairs. It’s all done ahead of time like it should. We take care it everything.
