Our wedding is this August at Manakiki in Willoughby. Our ceremony is outside and our Reception is in the Courtyard, which is kind of outside...It is under a tent surrounded mostly by brick walls. The bar is inside right off the tent, and so is our ceremony back up room, which will probably be used for desserts and a kids activity table.
I have a few questions. All of a sudden my dad thinks we are not going to have enough room for dancing if everyone that is invited attends. We are inviting 150 and we will have tables that seat 10. Is this something I should really worry about? My go to gal at Manakiki told me she has done bigger weddings there and has had plenty of room. Inside the bar area and ceremony back up room, there is plenty of room to add a few tables and there are also wide open windows and doors to the main reception area, but isn't that rude to separate guests?
OR should I just trust that Manakiki knows what they are doing? I'm sure they do but it is hard to picture without the tables set up.
