Leonard's brides, re: chair covers

I know there had been some contraversy over whether they threw in the chair covers. Well we went there yesterday to make a payment and asked about it and was told we had to pay $3 per cover. For us it only comes out to $252 total but it is still an added expense. From what I was told by someone else who works there, if you are having a larger wedding (over 200 guests) during high season, you have a better chance of them throw in the chair covers. We had no chance at all since we are having a small reception and are in the low season.
