Ooh, could you get the size? I am assuming these are 72" round tables, right? Even without the chargers, 10 is going to feel SMUSHED. Go with 8 per table if you can. It won't look too spread out... most people like a little extra elbow room. Good luck!
I had the same issue, and ended up going with 8 per table. It was a good choice, because once I actually saw people sitting at the tables, I realized 10 would have been really crammed.
I like the 10 person size. You can do larger centerpieces that way. The 8 person ones look so cramped.
We plan on having 10/table... you're right, it cuts down on the # of centerpieces and increases the size of the dance floor. I don't think it will be too crowded with 10... most weddings I've been to have 10-person round tables.
Here's a pic of a set table at our actual venue:

Thank you, cinemaparadiso, for your quick reply!! Yes, they are 72" rounds.
Well here are some things to consider:
1. Size of wedding - If it's a small wedding you probably want more tables. If it's a big wedding, I'd probably go for less.
2. How big are the tables for seats of 8 vs 10? I've been at a table of 10 many times and haven't had a problem hitting my neighbor. If you really want to know, ask ten people from the venue to sit at a table of 8 or 10 to see which is most comfortable. I'm sure that if you ask nicely the catering staff won't mind (since you're paying more than enough for the wedding I'm sure).
i also just assumed that i would do 8/table.. but looking at all my inspirational pics, they all do 10/table. it would cut costs re: centerpieces.. however, i do worry that my venue room may be too big if i go with the 10/table.
hmmm
How many guests total? That can also factor in... if you have 240 people for example that makes a difference of 6 tables (30 - 5 tops; 24 - 10 tops). Does this affect you?

Any recommendations would be appreciated...the round tables at the venue can seat up to 10 people, they recommend that if you are using plate chargers to only seat a maximum of 8 (we're not using chargers). If you only seat 8 people do the tables look too spread out?? Would seating 10 mean too crowded?? I know one of the benefits of tables of 10 would be that we could cut down on 3 centerpieces...
