Why it works for a gala or fundraiser

Tables sell, so table count and sponsor tables drive the plan. An upholstered oval-back chair with carved trim, in the French Louis XVI tradition. It works for sweetheart tables, family seating at the ceremony and formal ballroom dinners.

Galas are planned by table, not guest, because sponsors buy full tables. Count tables first and round chairs up to match.

What it costs at common guest counts

What to watch for

  • Does not stack: allow more setup time.
  • Selling partial tables and then discovering chair counts do not match table counts.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix the Louis Medallion with another chair at a gala or fundraiser?

Yes. Many hosts use it in the most visible spot and a lower-cost chair elsewhere. Pairs well with ballrooms, candelabras, roses, gilded details.
