My fiance & I are almost positive that we have found our venue but have a few things to consider when choosing a date, and I would appreciate anyone's opinion on the following!
1. Is late April too cold to have an outdoor ceremony? (We would have a backup in the case of inclement weather.)
2. Our venue has a loft with additional seating. Would it be odd (or rude?) to have people seated for dinner in the loft, overlooking the bottom level?
If we do the wedding in April, the min guest count we'll be required to have will fit comfortably in the downstairs level. If we do a May wedding, the weather may be nicer for the ceremony, but we will be inviting more people to meet the min guest requirement and will need to seat people in the loft.
Everybody that we would LOVE to have at our wedding will fit within the max number for the downstairs, so we wouldn't be cutting our guest list to do an April wedding. We do have more extended family, friends of our parents, and coworkers that we would invite if we had a larger wedding & used the loft - people that aren't musts, but that we would like to have at our wedding if the space (and our budget) allowed for it.
THANK YOU in advance!!
