Ericia,
I think most caterers charge for rental of chairs. Those which are more flexible may provide cocktail tables. As ebell and ribbons say, it really depends on the type of affair u want. But so far, the church receptions i've gone to are pretty standard. Pple stand, and there may be a couple of cocktail tables ard for pple to eat. There may be some benches in the church which the older pple may sit on. And in terms of presentation, most of them have used the std metal tray and skirting with disposable cutlery. Nothing too fancy. That's y i'm still considering whether to get something a bit more grand or go for the norm. How much is ur budget for the reception?
Cos FH says tt if presentation of the food is fantastic, pple will have higher expectations and are more likely to criticise the food if it doesn't taste as good. Don't know abt this though. What do u girls think? What is the average budget for a tea reception?
