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 anyone throwing a party or marriage would love to see 100% of their guests dancing all night this is simply not going to be a reality (folk need their dancing down time). A lot of the time however perception is all. A really large dancefloor with 75 guests (out of your 150) dancing on it can look empty and short of energy compared against a smaller dancefloor with the same number of folks dancing. The littler (perceived busier) dancefloor just looks more fun and offers encouragement to folk 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 are looking to book a wedding locale, just keep the above mentioned factors in mind. Try and see the location you are thinking about in action at an identical sized live marriage - see the way the room is laid out - is it conducive to a good atmosphere - you could come up with ideas for how you want the room structured yourself.
If you have already booked your venue and you realize that there might be some obstacles as highlighted above - do not panic (the point of this text is not to panic anyone). Just speak with the venue to see what they can do to ensure that they tackle what they can, where they can. Glaringly 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 importantly dance - by letting your wedding band do the remainder of the work!!
