Great for weddings and special events alike (and voted one of Vancouver’s Top Golf Venues for Weddings) the Vancouver Golf & Country Club, sets a beautiful setting for nature enthusiasts that prefer to stick close to urban amenities.  Nestled in the trees in bustling Coquitlam, B.C., this golf club gives visitors lots of natural beauty with some city views to boot.  What a great location to host that special event.

For example, this past July, we were asked to provide chair covers for the Aga Khan Foundation’s gala dinner at the Vancouver Golf & Country Club in Coquitlam, B.C.  The theme: bling.  The purpose: fundraiser.

When we were asked what we could do to work within their theme, we suggested stark white banquet chair covers with white spandex bands adorned by a “bling” ring ( a rhinestone cuff).

As it turns out, that was the perfect suggestion as the white chair covers worked well with the white ceiling lanterns and the “bling” ring played against the crystal candle holder centrepieces and mirrored table squares perfectly!

A successful display for a successful event.  Congratulations!

A cover is a cover is a cover, right?

WRONG! The cover must suit the size and shape of the chair and unfortunately, not all banquet chairs are created equal.

So, the chair covers are too small, will anyone really notice?

The answer to that is a resounding YES! The main reason for using chair covers is to unify the room in a coherent style and colour. If the main unifying factor lacks in its own appearance, it will instantly make your entire decor seem sloppy. Keep in mind, that the chair covers are at eye level and as a result, will be the decor element that your guests will notice first.

How to avoid a chair cover misfit?

There are many ways to avoid the unfortunate ill fitted cover. For one, you can ask your venue what style chairs they use for their events. If their response is “standard banquet chair”, do more research. All venues believe their chairs are “standard banquet chairs” but in reality, there are many different types of “standard banquet chairs” which result in different height, and width dimensions.

So, then you must ask the venue if they could be more specific. For example, are their chairs round backs, crown backs, square backs, high backs etc. Armed with this information, you can approach a reputable chair cover supplier to inquire if they carry chair covers for the specific chair you are trying to cover.

And, finally, do an on site fitting. Make sure you know what you’re getting before your wedding day. No one likes surprises on the big day!
