At my site visit I remember Stacey mentioning they were something in the range of $13-$15/chair. Pricey when most reception locations include tables and chairs.
I am renting chairs (although mine are different, and about $5 per chair I beleive). You need to remember there is a delivery charge for them at most (if not maybe all) locations. My delivery charge is $200 for Epcot.
They are $12-$15 each and include the seat cushion. You also have to add a $200 delivery fee. I had the mahogany chairs with ivory cushions and they were $12.50 each.
One thing I do not regret and that was upgrading to the chiavari chairs! They really gave the room that extra special touch. No offense to the chairs with covers and bows because we had those too out on the patio. Those cost us $8.50 each.
In the Whitehall room you could use an outside vendor for the chairs which is what we're probably going to do, our reception is in St. Augustine. We're looking at Bell Chair Covers, they were recommended on the knot local boards and the prices are very good. I haven't booked anything yet though until I know how many chairs we'll need.
So, this is a super old thread...but I thought I'd bump it, as opposed to starting my own.
Anyone know how much the upgrade to chiavari chairs are for a Wishes ceremony? I imagine it depends on the year you're getting married (since we all seem to be getting charged different amounts, depending on our book date). We're getting married 12/08/14 in Epcot.
We're thinking of upgrading from our wood chairs (already one upgrade) to chiavari. We've got about 25 people total coming (possibly even just 20). I think if we were talking about it adding an extra $100 or so to our final price, it wouldn't be a big deal. $500...that'd probably be a deal breaker.
Thanks, Giniapup. I would imagine mine will be $9 or $10 then. When I looked at your BEO earlier when you posted it, we're getting roughly at about the same time. And still there are price differences on things I know we share. For example, your Mickey premiums are cheaper than mine (mine are $6/bar). it's so dumb. When did you actually book your event? That book date might account for the difference.
I have not booked yet, but the information I received from DFTW was $13 per chair for an upgrade, which includes the colored cushion. There is also a delivery fee.
I looked at using an outside vendor, and they are between $5.50 and $8 per chair. Orlando Wedding and party Rentals quoted me $5.50 each with a $99 delivery fee....definitely worth going outside for this upgrade.
I want the black or gold ones, but if I really have to cut costs, I may just deal with the existing banquet chairs. I hope not though, I think the covers look a little cheesy, but that's probably just me.

I booked Nov 2013 but I started talking to them before I was engaged in Feb. They said since I stated talking to them in Feb they would give me pricing for 2013. I didn't know they had come up with a new pricing structure for 2014 until DFTW said that to me. I can't believe they gave you a different price for the Mickey bars. I'm not sure how they come up with their pricing.

We booked in December 2013, and they gave us the same type of promise. I'm not certain it was communicated properly between our consultant and the wedding planner. :/ I'll talk to my planner in the coming days, though, to see if I can figure stuff out. I mean, if anything, I do know they kept with that promise when it came to booking our venues. Epcot was only $2,300, and I think that price is $3,000 or above now. Maybe if I complain enough that a person who booked only a month before I did, we'll get cheaper pricing. I'll check to see if ours will be $9. If it's not, then I'll complain.
