I'm conflicted. We are getting married in March in SFLA, it will be at a botanical garden. Ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside. There is an air conditioned barn, and original plan was for reception to be in barn. Trying to do seating for 80 w/ dance floor and is a challenge due to space. Caterer/ planner suggesting dinner outside and dancing inside. My concern is flow and seating for non dancers/older guests . What I've thought of is move guests to barn after dinner for cake cutting ceremony, first dances, and start the party and have a setup of low cocktail tables with seating so those who want cake can be served cake and coffee and have a comfortable place to sit, eat cake, and be part of the party. What are your thoughts? Opinions? Anyone done similar or same? How many seats should be available for 80 guests if we treat dancing like a "cocktail reception"?
