    I'm sorry for repeating what's been said, but you really do need a seat for every guest, no matter how you get those seats. I personally am disabled and cannot stand for extended periods of time-- my FW and I might even have to sit during our ceremony. I'm sure you have guests with disabilities, or older guests. Maybe you could buy some folding chairs? That would be easy to break down yourselves.

    The would be great if I could find a company that would set up but that’s not an option we put on the wedding invite that the ceremony was standing so if guest are unable to then just come to the reception. Don’t know what else to do that’s why I posted on here but instead I get told over and over to do something that I can’t do, like it’s possible to do just because somebody made the suggestion

    So If you already send the invites explaining the guests that it will be a standing up ceremony, and that ones that cant stand up for long period, are more than welcome just to come to the reception, why are you sweating? Meaning, what is exactly the question on the post? (English is not my first language so maybe thats why I dont understand the question, I read it a million times😅 stupid me)
    Yes is not the cup of tea for anyone to attend an standing up ceremony with that many people (i've seen it like in really intimate wed like less than 15 people) but lets say it like this, is your wedding, you can do everything you want, if you felt super comfortable letting your guests know in their invitations that their will be no seats, and you feel comfortable knowing that some might get offended, or will just decide to skip the ceremony and only go to the reception, thats on you and your FH. Lets be real! We dont know any of your guests. We dont know if they support you no matter what and they dont give a F been standing. So can you re-word your main question for me please? Like you want to know how to arrange them, how they will stand up? What exactly you would like ideas about?

    Why can't you rent chairs or get benches? What is stopping you from being able to do so?

    I posted this before we sent out invites and was hoping for A helpful suggestion as we cannot get seats, do to the fact we have no way of transportation them or set up or break down.
    You can’t delete post either

    No form of getting them or time to set up or break down

    Have you asked the venue what they normally do for weddings? I find it hard to believe you would be the first person to run into this issue unless they don't typically host weddings in which case this is something that should have been discussed before booking the venue.

    I understand Michelle, I already understood that you CANNOT get more chairs/benches, seating arrangement. However, you still didnt answer my question. What do you need idea for exactly/ "helpful suggestions"? I think thats where everyone is getting confused. And keep commenting you about getting chairs.

    You absolutely have to have enough chairs or seats for every person. It's ridiculous to have people stand the whole time.

    There is a simple solution. You hire a company to do this. There are companies who rent chairs. They will bring them to your event, and they will break them down and take them back. You mentioned that they have a minimum amount of chairs that would have to be rented. If you don’t need that many, this may simply mean you will have to pay the price for whatever their minimum is, and have them only bring you the amount of chairs you need. Will you be overpaying? Probably.
    But if that is the only option available to you, you will have to take it 🤷🏼‍♀️
