Branford House layout

TMezzio

Hello all...

Fiance' and I are getting married at the Branford House next May (2014).  Planning on approximately 100 people.  Meeting with Coastal Gourmet in a couple weeks.  Have a block of rooms reserved at the Mystic Marriott.

Have a question about layout/floorplan, and was hoping somone here might be able to help -

We plan to have our ceremony on the lawn......cocktails in the side room to the right of the large main center room (when entering the front door and facing the water) as well as outdoors on the patio.....dinner in the large center room.....and dessert table(s) and coffee, etc in the side room closest to the office.

Our concern is using the right side room after dinner for dancing.  With our size wedding, and a live band, will that room be too small, and the music too loud?  With 100 people, the only time everyone would be in that room is probably to watch our first dance, and then it will be those who really like to dance, with others mingling in and out....

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.

I'm having approx 140 guests and I'm having cocktail hour on the outside patio, the bar in the center patio, dinner tables in the 2 side rooms and dance floor/DJ and some dinner tables in the middle room. I'm using Catering by Christine and not only are they cost effective but their food is phenomenal and of high quality. I def recommend them!

With a live band it might be tight, but all 100 people won't be on the dance floor the whole night (unless you guys love to party) Also, Katherine mentioned to me that because there aren't any "neighbors" they're pretty lenient about the level of noise.

 

Good luck!
