Hi all,
I'm trying to draw up a short list of venues to consider for our wedding (probably late December-mid January 2014 but TBC, in the north west). As I mentioned in my previous post, we're thinking about having a small (though not tiny) wedding- about 40 guests at most is our current educated estimate. We'd also like to have something quite formal, and all in one venue.
In looking at venues, most seem to have a capacity of considerably more than our numbers (which is understandable, the average wedding size is more than we're planning for). I know it depends on other factors, but is there a general guide to the capacity at which our numbers would look daft in the venue? (So 40 would look stupid in a room for 400- is the same also true of a room for 100, or 80?) Would it make a difference if we, say, kept tables set up for the wedding breakfast in half of the room and had the other half for dancing? I've already ruled out places which are upfront about minimum number requirements.
Thanks for reading.
