You may have some general questions about wedding ceremony seating.  This Q&A will take care of some of the basics before you rent chairs from us for your Saskatoon wedding ceremony.

What is the seating order for a wedding ceremony?

It depends on what the couple wants and what kind of wedding they’re having. But usually, guests sit down first, then parents and grandparents. After that, the people who are getting married come in and say some things like vows and exchange rings. Then they’re officially married and can kiss! 

Who sits where at a wedding ceremony?

The parents of the bride usually sit on the left side and the groom’s parents usually sit on the right side. If two people are getting married, they might ask their families to sit on different sides. People who are walking down the aisle or doing a reading should have a special seat at the front of the ceremony. 

How many chair per row at a wedding ceremony?

A standard setup for ceremony chairs is 8 chairs on either side of the aisle, so 16 chairs per row. If you have 100 guests, you would need at least 7 rows. For straight rows, you want to have a uniform number of chairs per row, so even with 120 guests, you’d want 128 chairs to ensure each row has a matching number. Keep in mind that most wedding parties reserve the first 3 or 4 rows for immediate family.

should bridal party sit or stand at a wedding ceremony?

The bridal party can either sit or stand during the wedding ceremony. It’s up to the couple to decide what they want. If the bridal party is standing, they usually stand on either side of the couple getting married. If they’re sitting, they might sit in the front row or in chairs that are set up specifically for them.

who all do you reserve seats for at a wedding ceremony?

The couple getting married usually reserves seats for their immediate family and the bridal party. They might also reserve seats for other special guests like grandparents, godparents, or close friends.

do you need reserved signs for a wedding ceremony?

Reserved signs can be helpful for a wedding ceremony. They can help guests find their seats and ensure that the reserved seats are not taken by other guests. If you’re reserving seats for the bridal party or immediate family, you might want to use reserved signs to make sure that those seats are not taken by other guests

Do you use the same chairs for the wedding ceremony as the reception?

It’s up to the couple getting married whether they want to use the same chairs for the wedding ceremony and reception. Some couples choose to use the same chairs to save money, while others prefer to use different chairs to create a different atmosphere for the reception. Keep in mind that folding chairs transport easily compared to non-folding chairs.

Should you have extra chairs at a wedding ceremony?

It’s always a good idea to have extra chairs at a wedding ceremony. You never know if someone might bring an unexpected guest or if there might be a mix-up with the seating arrangements. It’s better to have extra chairs than to not have enough.
