Change of Dinner/reception Venue

Brittany, on June 30, 2022 at 11:51 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 6

So! After booking our restaurant for a total of 32 guests, things were going great for all of 2 months! We have a guest list of 34 people who are extremely interest to come to our Banff wedding. On top of that, because I don't have much family on my dad's side he would like to me invite his best friend and his wife (which is no big deal because I have known them since birth and they are like an aunt and uncle to me), so that brings my list to a total of 36. Let me tell you I am panicking, since I haven't sent the actual invites out I can not guarantee that these people will or will not come.

I have decided to pick a different restaurant that seats up to 40 guests for the purpose of to be safe. I don't want to send out invites and expect 4 people to decline and if they don't we are royally screwed. So fingers crossed I can still switch, just waiting for the hospitality coordinator in Banff to get back to me that at least one of the three places I sent to her are available!


Phew, now that I am in the logistics of wedding planning and not just enjoying the engagement like I did for the last year and a bit; this is crazy.

    I am a strong believer that things happen for a good reason.

    Unfortunately, we booked a private room that only can go up to 32 people. There is no room to add more. But good news is that I just finished cancelling and booking a different spot that can accommodate up to 40 people. Right now we are at 40 with most likely 4 not coming.

    Always better to over book than too under book, as long as you notify the restaurant in advance you shouldn't have any issues.

    How hard is that 32 number with Restaurant #1? Unless that's the fire code capacity, a lot of spaces can work with the couple to squeeze in 4 people.

    You can confirm the restaurant of your choice though you can have the final count by 6 weeks in of the RSVP date. This will allow you and the coordinator to know where you stand and how many to be attending for reception.
