No Wedding Party Table at Reception
I am looking at venues for our reception and along with that table set ups. We prefer long tables. I have always loved the idea of not having a wedding party table and sitting amongst our guests. At this stage we are not having a formal wedding party just my nieces and nephews as flower girls and ring bearers. Does anyone have any examples of how couples have done this? Or advice for and against doing this?

11 answersWedding venue crisis
Hi, in crisis mode, our venue has double booked a portion of our room booked and are barely communicating with us to come to an agreeable solution, except at an additional charge to us (including additional fees that are not in the contract). We feel so helpless and defeated a month out before the wedding day!!! Any advice or help or tips?

5 answersSydney venue required with late licence until 3am?
Hi, I have all of my family and relatives flying in to Australia and it's so strange for a wedding to end by 12am. All venues I've looked at in Sydney are mostly 5pm-11pm hire. Any venues within NSW where we can party with music until at least 3am?
