home wedding canopy

our wedding will be something experimental since it's the first wedding for both families (in fact, we're first grandchild too!). and due to that, both us & parents, sometimes lost our way while doing this planning thing hehe ..

for penang reception, abah estimates the guests to be max of 2000 pax, including spouse & kids. our nikah & reception wil be held on same Saturday, and i need to help abah out what's the market like for wedding catering & canopies ... merely to benchmark price for penang packages.

i found some info on canopies on net, need your insight whether it's standard price or else. and based on your experience, how many canopies required for 1500-2000 pax lunch buffet? how further can i go for discount? pro & cons of each below, and any necessary items e.g. buffet table, main table etc. (add on/complimentary). if couple with catering, how much roughly the price p/pax?
