Hi All -
My venue provides Chiavari chairs for both ceremony/reception. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to figure out the weight limit for the chairs? (They look so dainty!) I'm trying to get the manufacturer and materials of the chair from our venue to figure it out myself but all I get from them is "they're working on it" and we can discuss at our planning meeting in July. I have three guests whose weight I am worried about. The heaviest of the three is just shy of 400 pounds.
Has anyone had any experience with this? The three people I am concerned about are all immediate family (sister & two brother-in-laws) - I don't mind paying the fee if a chair is broken, I just don't want anyone to be embarrassed if it should happen.
Would you protectively provide a different chair for each of the three or take your chances? If a different chair is provided how would you handle letting them know?
**We are all attending a wedding in May where I assume Chiavari chairs will be used - but unsure if it will be the same manufacturer/material - do you think it's okay to use that as a weight limit trial run?
Thanks in advance!
