Fiancee and I are getting married in a state park. Waterfall in the background, open area out in front. Gorgeous venue. And impossible to get chairs in for all the guests, due to both time, budget and practicality.
The location we're getting married at has a very strict 30 minute limit, start to finish, for wedding ceremonies. That's including set-up. That means that we do not have time to haul 65 chairs in and set them up and then take them down again afterwards, or even have a company do that. Setting up chairs for elderly relatives is more than possible. Setting up chairs for everyone? Not happening. This is a very popular wedding venue, and I've seen other couples that have somehow managed chairs, but I'm at a loss as for how. Even if we were using a company, by the time we got the chairs set up, we'd be out of time!
So, I'm looking for alternatives. Has to be very fast, very easy and it also has to be dirt cheap. Our budget is insanely tiny. The ceremony itself is going to be short (obviously), but people keep reiterating the fact that there has to be a chair or every butt.
