Has anyone had to rent tables/chairs/linens for their wedding/reception? I'm looking at a few places that are inexpensive to rent the area, but you need to rent your own tables/chairs/linens, and I think the caterer would bring the rest (glasses, plates, etc).
Has anyone done this that can give me a ballpark figure for how much it will cost? I'm trying to decide if it's actually going to be cheaper than the places that provide that for you or if I should just book a place that includes those in their rental price. I'm expecting about 130 people, so 13 tables (seating 10), 130 chairs, etc.
Any advice would be most helpful!
Venues I'm considering: The Grotto at the Arizona Center, IceHouse, Scottsdale Civic Center (but I think it will be too expensive with their catering exclusivity), or a few other 'off the norm' places. I'm trying to stay around $10,000 for 130 people, with venue, catering, alcohol, and DJ.
