Chair Issues

Maybe I am weird but I have real issue with chairs at reception venues. I am just starting to look and if the chairs look cheap or tacky then I am turned off of the venue. Anyone else have this issue?

Re: Chair Issues

I don't have any issues with my chairs. Which RH is this? Maybe they really are not that bad.

I don't want to name names because it is an otherwise beautiful place. Maybe I am just being super picky. I guess I just have this vision in my head of what my perfect day would be like, lol.

Re: Chair Issues

i haven't seen too many RH chairs that i was blown away by, although i don't think i put much weight in it. I know that when you're putting hundreds of chairs into these rooms, they aren't going to be the most luxurious pieces of furniture i've ever seen. i HAVE seen chairs that were just horrendous, but it really didn't have an affect on my thoughts of the place.

You could always do that but that could be costly.

Re: Chair Issues

Dont let chairs stop you from booking a place, You can just get chair covers if that is a big issue

Re: Chair Issues

I didnt like the chair covers that are in our ball room, but i loved the chivari chairs that are in the cocktail hour room, so I asked the manager if we could have those chairs instead and he said yes!

Crisis solved!

Re: Chair Issues

I am a bridezilla about a few things and sadly chairs were one of them.

I hate chair covers so that was out. I loved the delicate metal chairs many halls have, and I don't like the rounded fabric ones others have. Luckily the hall I booked has the kind of chairs I like!

I also like as much floor as possible because I think most halls have ugly casino-like carpet....

but again.. Bridezilla

YES! I love the North Ritz Club's chairs. Maybe that's why I never had an issue. Because I went to North Ritz and booked on the spot.

Yeah I couldn't understand what was up with the chairs... but I like the one at my RH.

What really bugged me were the rugs!!! Every place I saw had tacky flower patterned rugs that just looked so out dated.

Maybe I am really picky too? LOL

the chairs at my RH are okay, i guess. i'm totally with you on the casino carpet. catch 22? i hate the grandiose marbel floors too--all that glamor just isn't me AT ALL. i wish these places would just put down some hardwood floors, lol. i didn't see that anywhere.

Re: Chair Issues

I was very picky when choosing my RH. See, the chairs in the pics at North Ritz Club... I was turned off by those when I checked out the 15 places on my list. But hey, we all like / dislike different things. Just that when I saw the chairs at Giorgio's I thought, 'Wow, those are nice. I don't even need covers for them!'

But it wasn't just the chairs I have issues with... I am picky about the ceilings too, lol.

So.... was anyone else looking at the ceilings? Some like high ceilings, some like low. Some like chandeliers, others it doesn't matter...

I just feel very lucky that everything I was picky about, I was able to find at my RH.

Re: Chair Issues

Come rhs include chair covers. I know Westbury Manor does, not sure about where else. There's an 08 bride whose mom posts a lot, debismom I think. She posted about how they bought chair covers for less than you would rent them for. Another option I guess...

Re: Chair Issues

I agree with the carpet problem! There were a few halls we checked out where the carpet was old or worn and just looked plain nasty. I understand they have a ton of parties at these places, but one hall in particular looked so worn that on the stairs it was basically white...the normal carpet color was a dark greenish color!

NRC is beautiful and everything feels so nice clean and new! That was one of our choices but it was a little out of our price range
