Hello!
I have two concerns with my venue. First, I'll give a little background information. We are set on getting married in the very small two-stoplight town where we met at college, and we want a fairly small wedding. This leaves about one option for choosing a venue.
If we kept our guest list to 100 or fewer, all guests would be seated in one room. However, there would be a second room (just across the hall) for dancing, the bar, the cake table, and extra tables/seating. I've read a lot about this online, and people say while not ideal, it's not a huge deal. However, the DJ I have been communicating with has been pretty negative about it.
Second, our guest list is at 150. This means we would need to place several tables in the second room, which seems really distasteful to me. However, those guests would be in the room with the dance floor, bar, cake, etc. (so as a guest, I wouldn't mind!)
So 1. Thoughts on dance floor being in separate room? Can it work without killing the vibe?
And 2. Can you put guests in that room without them feeling disconnected?
Thanks!
