I been to a wedding where we set at the dinner tables to view the ceremony and it was seamless and I didn't mind. It threw me off at first but I understood it was probably best froma logistics standpoint.
I had thought about that as well. was just a little worried about people seeing and it seeming a little impersonal.
Just make sure the tables are close to where the "alter" area will be and plan a cozy arrangement. Even with aisle some guest have to sit in the back.
I've seen that done at my venue. It's actually what we will do if it rains outside. The ceremony will be in the same space as the reception. Most (not all) of the tables will be set up with enough room in the middle to create an aisle. The aisle will lead to the mantle which will be the focus of the wedding party. Some guests will actually sit at the tables. And other guests will sit in about 4 rows of chairs at the end of the aisle. I think you can do it either way and it will be fine though. Guests may think it's weird... but oh well! :)
I'm having to do a flip as well. Normally these places are set up for an easy transition. Ask one of the reps what they recommend.
thank you ladies! i have spoke to my rep and they have done it either way. It would be alot easier if some of the tables were already set up an since the room is so big the tables could be to the sides i just wondered how that would look to my guest.
I would see if the guest tables can be set around the room, and set chairs and an aisle/alter to the fireplace there and make that your dance floor space later on.
It's a lot easier to remove some chairs than it is to set tables last minute.
Good luck!
What a beautiful space!!
We will probably have to do a flip as well and, as another bee said, some venues have it down so smooth that flips can happen almost instantly. A flip at a venue we are looking at will take 35 minutes tops, centerpieces and linens and DJ equipment and all. Have you specifically asked the venue/your coordinator how long you think it would take? It probably won't be that bad.
Either way, I think people will be so focused on your ceremony that some tables along the sides will be no big deal.
We're having in the same room and they said they can set up a backdrop to hide the tables behind or just not set up the tables until after...they said it would only take 15 more minutes to set up the tables after, and one or two other workers, which would cost the same as setting up the backdrop, so we said fuck it and just are having them do a full hour turnover instead of 45 minutes. No biggie and no ugly backdrop or tables messing up our gorgeous room for the ceremony!

I have rented a huge ballroom with a balcony for my wedding. The plan is to have the ceremony and reception in the same room. In between my guest will go out into a huge hall and mingle and nibble on some food while the room is transformed. I question is should I have already have the tables set up with the linens on them up against the walls during the ceremony (my guest will be in the middle of the room facing the balcony) or would that look bad durin my ceremony. The other option is to not assemble the tables which means the transition period will take longer. If we do this then the tables still need to be in the room somewhere. Should i rent some lattice or something to hide the tables behind so that it is not a sore sight? i have went through this over and over and I have no idea what to do!! ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
I have attached some pictures so that everyone can get the idea of the style of the room. My colors are sangria and green. the tables will have a white linen with a green overlay in the center with a centerpiece.
