It is possible that the chairs are included for free. Since we are handling all our own arrangements, I wasn't particularly focused on the fine print; I was simply asking about the pricing for informational purposes.
We also calculated that there would be significant savings. Even though we will be purchasing most items ourselves, including the meat, the total difference in the final tally is substantial.
Regarding baked goods, that is simply how mass production works, and I don't believe it is worth stressing over. In large-scale restaurant and bakery operations, people just eat pita bread with meat; in almost every brewery, workers are surrounded by pools of beer. I know a woman who worked in tea production who said she would never touch tea from a filter bag, just as a woman who worked in sunflower seed processing said she wouldn't put them in her mouth... even the women who sew for Gap say they wouldn't pay more than $3.25 for a shirt like that. I am not trying to defend Bosun, but just because we aren't aware of the processes doesn't mean things are better elsewhere.
Who are you planning to use for the desserts? Catherine?
You make a good point; Laura looks much better now that they have styled her. Additionally, compared to the banquet halls in our area within that price range, this is actually one of the most affordable options; a difference of $1.50 per chair really adds up.
The other venue was considered because it felt a bit too large for us. We are expecting 250 to 300 guests, which feels small for that entire hall, yet I worry that if we partition off a section, it might become too crowded.
