How should I set up the Reception??

I have a slight dilemma.  We are having our wedding in Platte City, and quite frankly, it's out in the middle of nowhere.  The only decent reception site we could find that was within a reasonable distance from the church is the Seven Bridges Clubhouse.  Gorgeous facility, however there's one catch... it has two reception rooms.  Both are beautiful, but both are too small for us to fit all of our guests, so we'll have to use both.  The facility thinks we might be able to squeeze our 150 guest list in the main room for dinner, but dancing would definitely have to be in the other room.  Or they also suggested separating the guests into two rooms for dining.  Any ideas on how this would work?  Has anyone been to a wedding where the guests dined in one room and danced in another?  Thanks!

    Have you seen the big reception room in person?

    It seems like it would hold more than 150 people. It's pretty big.

    Which other room are they wanting you to us in conjunction with the big room? Is it out in the main entry way? If so, I think that would work for your dancing area as it's right next to the dining room.

    The way the clubhouse is setup, I think you would be fine using two rooms. :)

    I LOVE the place, so pretty! We were looking to build a house there last year so have visited many times! :)

    I went to a friends wedding that had 2 rooms at a club like that.  I am not familiar with the Seven Bridges Clubhouse but from the previous post it sounds like you can do it.  I would just try and have as many people in one dining room as possible and then maybe you could have a younger crowd in the other room that will be reserved for dancing so they can already be close to the dance floor.

    Ditto PPs.

    The only thing I would caution against (again, depending on how "separate" the rooms are) is that if you have people separated during the dining portion, I would try to do any "traditional" things you're doing (toasts, cake cutting, etc.) either when everyone is there to see it or have your DJ/whoever make an announcement you're doing it so people can come in to see it.

    I was in a wedding 2 years ago that had to use separate rooms and that was the only "complaint" people seemed to have (they missed those things b/c they weren't in the room with the B&G); other than that, it seemed to work well!
