Multi Room Reception/ceremony/dance Floor/timeline

I had dancing in a different room than dinner! But we rented a ton of lounge furniture and high top tables to put in there so people wouldn’t be stuck standing if they didn’t want to dance. We didn’t do wedding party announcements and spotlight dances we did after dinner and it opened up the dance floor.

A lot of people will just move the chairs from one area to the other during cocktail hour. Usually takes just a few people to convert during that timeframe.

Does your venue not provide the "flip"?

I would certainly talk to them about the best uses of the rooms.

View Quoted Comment The person who owns the venue just supplies the building. I'm on my own for all the planning and set up.

Who is setting up your table and chair, and decorating for you? Could you ask them to stay and help with the flip?

We actually have three connected rooms for our reception. I figure it gives plenty of room to socially distance during COVID times. One room we are setting up to be a kid’s space where they can play games and run around. Another room will have a welcome table and dancing. Then the final room opens into the dancing room and that’s where we’ll have a small sitting lounge with a couch and some chairs, some formal tables, and our wedding cake. So there’s a space for eating and drinking, a space for dancing, and a space for kids! We will have everything set up ahead of time and it will be in a set place so nothing will need to be moved
