If you’re still waiting to get numbers confirmed, it can be difficult to know what size venue to go for. In general, it’s a safer option to get a venue at the upper end of the scale of how many attendees you could expect, in case there are more RSVPs than you bargained for. Conversely, if fewer people than expected turn up then you could end up with too much space and catering going to waste, which you may be charged for. Most venues have ways of making large rooms feel more intimate, with flexible seating arrangements and screens. It’s worth asking about this in advance, however, so you know what to expect.
