The reception site we are now looking at is absolutely huge. It is 5000 square feet and holds up to 500 people. We are looking at having maybe 150 people AT THE MOST at our reception. I really like this place because it is cheaper than the smaller sites we have looked at and I would much rather have more space (or at least ENOUGH space...the other place we looked at is downright small) for dancing and everything. Anyways, I was thinking about maybe just sitting up the head table and maybe the cake table right in the middle and just blocking off a section of the room behind us with some kind of backdrop, etc. My fiance thinks this would look weird and tacky?
If we can't find a way to block off a section of the room where it still looks nice, we will need to think of ideas that can take up space. Or something we can put there that doesn't cost much money or set up. Even with tables decently spread out and a large dance floor there will still be tons of space. Anyone have any ideas of what we can do?
