Platinum Brides Advice Needed

simonik

Holy meltdown.  I am obviously planning my 1st wedding so this is okay right?  FI and I are planning a guest count of 60-65 people. We have booked the Misora for February 9, 2013.  Yes, BRRRRRRRRR....

Well, I didnt take in account the dancing would have to be done indoors and now I am freaking out! I talked to Marie and she had suggested moving some of the tables after dinner.

Do any of you brides that have seen the space have suggestions?  I just dont see Kilow@t's space being as pretty as Misoras in the beginning of February! Will the pool chairs even be outside then?

Appreciate any help or guidance you can give me.

That's tough. I personally dislike when tables are taken away, because it's nice to have a "home base" to set your stuff down or sit and rest your feet.

Indoors at Misora is probably prettier than indoors at Kil@wat's because of the view. But you still get a nice view. Check out the pics my photographer blogged... look at the ones 6th and 7th from the bottom. You can still see the Vegas skyline from inside

How long of a reception are you planning? If dancing is for 2 hours or less, I don't think it's a HUGE deal to take away tables. People will understand. I've been at tables that had to be taken away, and I was annoyed, but it didn't make me have any less fun at the wedding.

Hey Natrasha! Thanks for your response.  The reception would be 4 hours and I am thinking about 2 hours of dancing. I was thinking perhaps a couple of cocktail tables dispersed amongst the other tables would be an option.

LOVE your pictures. I really do like the chic of Kilow@t.

Not a Platinum bride, but are there alternatives?  Maybe rent outdoor heaters or something so dancing could be outside?

I was just thinking about that! I am still not so sure of how cold it will be even with the heaters, but we are coming from Chicago.  Thanks for the input.  I at first thought my idea was crazy.

or even heaters and a couple cocktail tables outside for those who want some fresh air.

Is you invite list 60/65 or is that the number you think will come?
Are you having plated dinner, buffet, or stations?

When we went on our scouting trip, Misora was set up with the dance floor inside. It was set up with 7 round table (8 people in the pictures, but we did 10 per table at my wedding) plus the bar. Which, if you're doing a plated dinner should give enough room for the dance floor.

I would still have them setup a few cocktail tables and heat lamps outside. People will probably still want to go out and check out the view.

Here's my flicker link so show the pics

Thanks for the pictures.  We are inviting 70 and I have a rough estimate that 60-65 will make it.  It is a rough estimate but I would say a pretty accurate one.

Did you have the same tables with 10 at each?  Thanks for the info regarding to how the room was setup when you saw it.

Our original plans were to do stations, but I am willing to let go of that and do a plated meal if the room will allow and work more efficiently.

I am definitely going to ask about a couple cocktail tables/heaters outside. 

As always, thanks for all of the input!

Simonik, I am also going by Natrasha and LilMissScareAll's pics although I do hope that by May the weather will be good enough for outside dancing.

To me it seems that they have the dancefloor inside on LilMissScareAll's FLICKR pics which I thought could be a good area for ceremony/dancing...not sure if it makes sense.

I am considering long tables instead of the round tables although I am not sure yet...but this can free up some space. Something like this: http://www.theweddingfavor.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/lightbox/dsc_4501_copy.jpg

Are you planning a scouting trip? I am going in December and will also take some pics and will share.

simonik

Hey Annie. I'm probably not going to go on a scouting trip but who knows! Going by the pics it looks like there is some room to spare. You are having a larger group in misora correct? The weather will be awesome in may!! Have you talked to Marie yet? I know you were having difficulties in the beginning. I spoke to her once and she emailed me after my FI left a voicemail. She seems on top of things and awesome!!
