The proper way to keep your Marriage guests dancing Part2

By Louisa Farrelly


Another vicinity issue I see is that the guest tables are frequently completely separated from the dancefloor - again creating a divide. While this is going to be ideal for dinner, it does not, in my judgment create any 'flow ' when the after-party starts. Folks are even less likely to get up to dance if they have got a distance to walk or are forced to walk up or down steps to get to the dancefloor. On a quiet night you can see that some guests may really need to dance but it can be menacing for them to stroll thru a roomful of people to get to a dancefloor - so that the trick is make the seating conducive to dancing! I'd suggest to the hotel that where possible, after the meal the tables are moved in order that they circle the fringe of the dancefloor. The best wedding atmospheres I've encountered have unquestionably been where the guest tables surround the dancefloor.

Another area of major consideration is size of dancefloor: - while any person throwing a party or wedding would be very happy to see 100% of their guests dancing all night this is not going to be a fact (people need their dancing down-time). A large amount of the time however perception is everything. An especially big dancefloor with 75 guests (out of your 150) dancing on it can look empty and lacking in energy compared with a smaller dancefloor with the same number of people dancing. The smaller (understood busier) dancefloor just looks more fun and encourages people to get up to dance.

That Is just my own view on a dancefloor but it's a view I have developed from what I have seen & experienced over time. If it was me marrying I'd desire that floor stuffed (seriously) hence while guaranteeing that it is not a postage stamp of a dancefloor (glaringly) personally I'd go for a smaller instead of bigger dancefloor to cater for the number of guests I am inviting.

If you're looking to order a marriage location, just keep the above factors under consideration. Try to see the locale you're thinking of in action at a similar sized live wedding - see the way in which the room is laid out - is it conducive to a good atmosphere - you might get ideas for how you would like the room structured yourself.

If you have already prepared your location and you realize that there might be some hurdles as highlighted above - do not sweat (the point of this article is not to panic anybody). Just speak with the locale to see what they can do to make sure that they tackle what they can, where they can. Manifestly they can't move the bar or smoking area, but some can change the position of dancefloor.and of course seating can always be re-arranged! Then sit back, relax and most significantly dance - by letting your wedding band do the remainder of the work!!
