Question by muriel12: For an outdoor wedding ceremony, how much space or distance is necessary for rows of folding chairs?
I am planning an outdoor ceremony using white, wood, folding chairs for the guests to sit in. I need to know how much room each row will take up–not in width, but in depth from the altar area. A helpful answer would tell me how much space there needs to be from the back of one chair to the front of the seat of the chair behind it, or the distance from chair back to chair back or something like that. It is a certain number of feet per row? How much space will it take to make it comfortable for the guests?

My suggestion would be to have your guests as close to the action as possible. This allows them to see and hear what is happening. After all you want them there to witness your wedding or you wouldn’t have invited them!
Put the chairs in the second row with enough room to be able to get up and down comfortably. If you know one of your relatives is a little larger than the others allow room for them too. Just sit down in a chair then put another chair behind it and then measure yourself, the distance for comfort.
Have fun!
