I bought an 1873 de sanctified church apparently 10 years ago today.   It’s a diverse space. In the past 3 years I’ve offered it as a wedding venue besides art studio and airbnb.  Things are starting to pick up which has me concerned about the vintage chairs I use.  I’d like to upgrade to a sturdier and more comfortable chair. The space seats 75 people.  Any suggestions on best bang for the buck? Pros and cons white vs black?  Cost per chair and weight limit?  stackability when not used?  Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

There are a few trade shows where chairs, tables, linens etc are shown. I recommend attending one of them for an informed decision. 
1) The Special Event show will be in Anaheim May 2-5  https://www.ararental.org/

2) The ARA show https://www.ararental.org/


Good luck, if I can be of value, do not hesitate to message me,

I think a classic gold Chiavari chairs would be very nice and pick up the gold in the mural

Also consider offering chair covers to a popular Chiavari chair to compliment their theme.  

We used to rent tables and chairs through our company. We learned from watching our competition how important it is to check the weight capacity on the chairs. We used a heavy duty, white folding, plastic resin chair that had a weight limit of 350 pounds. My other suggestion would be a metal chair that has a padded seat that allows for brides to use chair covers. The chairs we used were heavy duty but they were too wide for the chair covers.

Very beautiful. Don’t limit yourself to only one type of chairs. Think about offering different style chairs in a package. This way, couples can choose what works best for their wedding. 

This is a beautiful space. Where is it?

Looking at the room, I would use white modern-looking chairs
