Am i Overthinking?

This might come off as more of a vent, but any suggestions/different points of view are appreciated.


We live in a different state than our relatives so we will having a small intimate wedding ceremony & reception by the ocean with our immediate family ( Smiley heart0 ppl). The reception layout is attached. The biggest thing we were drawn to was the balcony overlooking the ocean. Our venue coordinator said they can set up a small dance floor indoors, but most people tend to dance and mingle outside. DJs are not allowed, but you can play music through the speakers (which play outside as well). We want our family who will be attending to enjoy themselves, but my fiancé and I are not fans of dancing by any means so we don’t plan on dancing that much. Depending on the weather, we will have our first dance, dances with father/mother outdoors on the balcony and if it’s raining, indoors somehow. Am I overthinking this entirely? Will it be weird to dance in a balcony? My biggest concern is our guests not enjoying themselves. Am i Overthinking? 1

    I don't think it's weird at all to dance on the balcony, that sounds cute and it would make for good pictures. I feel like (personally) dancing is more of an obligation to the bride to show I'm having fun so I (and many others I know) would be perfectly fine with no dancing! Good food and drinks are the most important.

    I think your plan sounds great!! People will mingle and talk and drink - they'll be fine without dancing!

    And I think doing your special dances on the balcony won't be weird at all!

    I think it should be okay as long as everyone has enough space.

    I think that the balcony will have some gorgeous and unique pictures and agree it's a good idea!

    I know I'm a little late to this, but dancing on the balcony sounds like a great idea! We had a similarly sectioned setup for our wedding and it worked really well.
