Having wedding & reception in same yard

We're having the wedding & reception at my FI's grandmother's & it'll be in her back yard. My main concern is seating. I don't think there's anyway to have chairs set up for the ceremony & then move everything around & add the tables for the reception. Would it be ok to have the tables already set up with the chairs for the ceremony? But still have an aisle down the middle?

It is a very informal wedding. My FI says that we can have people sitting on chairs in the yard & have people on the porch which would be sort of next to us. He also suggested having people standing infront of us (ya know, behind the jop) but I'm seriously doubting that would work. It would look like they're part of the wedding party but positioned weird!

Any advice? Thanks!!

Re: Having wedding & reception in same yard

  • If there's room for the ceremony + chairs to be set up, PLUS the reception tables set up, just have your guests carry their chair over to a table after the ceremony.  I was at a wedding recently where we did this, and it was no biggie.  Some of the younger folks can grab the extras or help out Grandma.
