Personally I think it's perfectly fine to charge ppl for their seats ..I mean weddings are expensive even if you budget yourself. You pay all that money for food and seats and some ppl don't even show up or eat. You pay to go to a ball so why not for a wedding, it's the exact same thing minus the wedding part. Most places are like 20,000 I mean goodness gracious plus you have to buy your wedding dress, flowers, shoes, limo *if you opt for that* photography, videography that can easily add up to 100,000 the most. I wouldn't mind paying for my seat at a wedding, I'm getting food, drinks, entertainment, party favors, pictures etc etc I mean it's only right. Some of you will say "if you can't afford a wedding don't have one" 🙄 or "that's selfish" 🙄 let's not be ignorant now. Weddings are beautiful if you can afford it kudos to you for real lol ..and if you don't have it like that charge people for their seats it will save you a lot of money.
