I am asking this because I know you guys will be brutally honest with me. I am trying to find a venue and keep finding wrinkles with my various choices. I just found out my reasonably priced top contender is $500 more than I thought. I contacted a local inn yesterday that is gorgeous. I assumed it would be out of the budget but they basically can do all inclusive (just bring the flowers, groom and photog) for a great price. We would have the run of the first floor of the inn and the grounds and porches. We are planning to invite between 80 - 90 people.
There is one major wrinkle. Although there is plenty of room for all the guests to sit down, the guests will likely not all fit into one dining room/one space. Obviously this is far from ideal. Has anyone had this issue before? Is it incredibly rude to essentially have to have two dining areas? I think I already know what y'all will say but I'm just wondering. I have seen the place before but I need to go and look at it again obviously to see what the exact lay out is.
It is certainly very important to us that everyone be well hosted. It's just proving harder than I thought to find a venue that takes a small enough bite out of the budget to do everything we want for our guests
