Seated rooms for an intimate dinner or reception

For a meal after your vows, look at how the tables are arranged, whether the room is private and how guests will hear toasts. If dancing is part of your plan, ask the venue to include the dance floor and DJ setup on the same drawing as your dinner tables.

Questions to ask before you book

1. Can we see the layout for our guest count? Ask for one plan for the ceremony and one for dinner. Mark the aisle, tables, toasts, any dancing and the paths guests and servers will use. If the room changes between vows and dinner, find out where guests will wait.
2. What does the minimum cover? Get a written estimate for your actual group size. Ask about food and beverage minimums, room rental, staffing, service charges and the amount of time you’ll have for setup and cleanup.
3. What can we do for sound? Ask whether the space is shared with other diners, if you can use an outside DJ, and what the venue allows for microphones, background music and dancing. In a small room, the plan may be as simple as clear toasts and music at a level where guests can talk.

Here’s a question you can send before a tour. “We’re planning for about [guest count] guests. Could you send a seated floor plan for [ceremony, dinner and any dancing], the room and time included, and an itemized estimate for that setup?”
