Reception & Ceremony in same space

We are having the reception and ceremony at the same venue but in different spaces. Could you do something like that?

I went to a wedding like this and it was fine

I was at an indoor wedding that was like this. It worked for the most part except there were beam pillars that got in some of the guests way of seeing the bride and groom during their vows! But it can definitely be done and for the most part it was a great wedding set up!

We are doing both at the same place, its at a golf course though, the ceremony is outside on the golf course and the reception is inside... I have been to wedding where it is at the same place and we stay at our tables the whole time. I enjoyed it still. Plus its more convenient for me speaking as a guest.

Im getting married at the same place, but my venue offered to set up for the ceremony and then the guest go to a different room for cotail hour while the set up for the party....

We are having a caterer yes, but it's just her , no servers or anything. and thanks for the advice guys, i would love to see pictures of the people that have done it.

I also didn't think about bringing my photographer to the venue,

so il have to do that .

We do this occasionally; usually it's when the outside space becomes unavailable. It's not my fave but it works out fine.

Um what do you mean no one is working it? 100 guests is not small.

Is there a way to have the room set up for the ceremony and then have the space transformed into the reception during the cocktail hour

We are doing both in the same space, but our venue does that all the time and will flip the room for us once the ceremony is over.

I was looking for the picture they show me at the venue where we're going to have our wedding, I didn't found it but it's kind of this... We're gonna have the ceremony and the reception at the same place, it should be for like 150 guests but the venue offered to move the chairs and set up everything while we're taking pictures with our family!

We are doing it in the same place. We will have the ceremony then people will go downstairs for a cocktail hour and then come back up stairs for dinner

I've been thinking about doing this as well. The issue is some venues won't move the chairs and ask the guests to take them to their tables on the other side of the room, even after I've offered to pay for them to flip the room for me.

I'm trying to avoid having the guests sit at the same tables they will have the reception at, but for what I'm envisioning I just can't find the space, lol

We are doing this, but our venue has multiple rooms for people to be in while the staff transitions the space.

As a guest, I think it would be odd to watch a wedding from the dinner table.

Hey girl, I'm planning on having my guests seated at tables for the ceremony and reception. it happens in my venue all the time. Indoor, so a little different. But here's a couple pics of other weddings that have done it in my space.

People will turn their chairs around to see, so make sure there's room between the tables. Another idea is to have a few rows of seating in the front for immediate family, as you can see in the second link. I think we will use an aisle runner to accentuate the aisle between the tables.

Another note... I've also been to 2 weddings in the past MONTH that were around 150 guests, self catered, and asked able-bodied guests to move their chairs inside after the ceremony. Guess what. NO ONE CARED. They were casual, chill, close friends and family deals. Its normal for my friend group and community to this. My peer group doesn't do big, formal, open bar (gasp!) events. I actually prefer it because I feel we focus more on the couple and celebrating THEM than on US as the guests having a great time. Just pointing out that you should do what works for YOU, your family, your community and friends. There's a lot more variety in the wedding world than some people acknowledge.

We are having at the same spot but outdoor ceremony and indoor reception

I'm doing this...

We are doing this and the rental company "threw in" our ceremony chairs for free. One of my best friends got married on a private property as well and they had some male family members and friends move the chairs to the tent after the ceremony while the rest of the guests mingled and did cocktail hour. Honestly it worked fine. Is it ideal to have guests carry their own chairs? No, but these guys knew ahead of time that they would be helping and we're ok with it.
